A lamp for a vehicle forms a rear road surface pattern when the vehicle moves backward. The lamp for the vehicle includes a light source unit configured to generate light, a shield unit configured to selectively transmit a portion of the light generated from the light source unit, and a lens unit configured to concentrate the light transmitted through the shield unit onto a road surface. The lens unit includes a first lens part and a second lens part, and the second lens part includes an inner space through which the light emitted from the light source unit is transmitted.

A lighting system of a vehicle may include light units and controllers for operating the light units. Each light unit is multifunctional in that the light unit may operate in various modes, which may be invoked at different times under varying circumstances. A light unit on the first end of a vehicle may operate as a headlight if the first end is the front end of the vehicle. On the other hand, the light unit may operate as a tail light if the first end is the rear end of the vehicle. Furthermore, the light unit may operate as a turn signal in either direction or brake light while the first end is the rear end of the vehicle. The light unit includes a lens array positioned to receive light from various light sources. The lighting system may operate in a fashion that allows for lighting redundancy on each end of the vehicle in the event of a lighting controller failure.

A lamp for a vehicle includes an optical unit including a plurality of optical modules to form a specific beam pattern on a road surface, the beam pattern includes a first pattern area and a second pattern area more spaced apart from the optical unit than the first pattern area, the optical unit includes a first optical module to form the first pattern area and a second optical module to form the second pattern area, and the second pattern area is placed on an optical axis of the second optical module.

A lighting device (1) for a motor vehicle, including a light source (2), a light conductor (3) having a first region (3a) and a curved region (3b), a first optical element (4) having a light entry surface, which comprises a first portion (4a) and a second portion (4b), wherein the first optical element (4) is arranged relative to the light conductor (3) in such a manner that light, which is decoupled from the first region (3a) of the light conductor (3), impinges on the first portion (4a) of the light entry surface of the first optical element (4), and light, which is decoupled from the curved region (3b) of the light conductor (3), impinges on a part region of the second portion (4b) of the light entry surface of the first optical element (4), wherein the lighting device (1) comprises a second optical element (5), which is arranged between the curved region (3b) of the light conductor (3) and the second portion (4b) of the light entry surface of the first optical element (4) in such a manner and equipped in order to redirect light, which is decoupled from the curved region (3b) of the light conductor (3) in such a manner that the light, having passed through the second optical element (5), impinges on the entire second portion (4b) of the light entry surface of the first optical element (4).

A lighting device disclosed in an embodiment of the invention includes a substrate; a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate; a resin layer covering the light source on the substrate; a light blocking layer having an opening portion on the resin layer; and a lens plate disposed on the light blocking layer, wherein the lens plate includes a light transmitting portion and a convex portion arranged on one surface or the other surface of the light transmitting portion, and the total area of the opening portions is 50% or less of an area of an emission surface through which light is emitted through the resin layer, and the interval between the lens plate and the light blocking layer may be greater than the length of the opening portion.

An autonomous lawn mower is described. The autonomous lawn mower comprises a chassis supporting a podium. In some examples, the podium comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, where the upper portion may support one or more sensors, antennas and/or cameras that may be used to provide environmental information regarding the surroundings of the autonomous lawn mower. The upper portion may be detached from the lower portion such that the upper portion is calibrated prior to the upper portion being coupled to the lower portion.

A multi-function lighting assembly provides multiple vehicle lighting functions (e.g., rear vehicle tail light and fog light) using a single printed circuit board substrate having mini or micro chip scale package LEDs or their unpackaged LED dies. LEDs for respective ones of the different lighting functions are separately controlled. LEDs controlled for respective functions can be interspersed, or disposed in different areas of LEDs having the same lighting function. A layer of optic components is disposed relative to the outputs of the LEDs and has different optic components for the LEDs of the respective lighting functions (e.g., collimator optics over LEDs controlled to provide a bright concentrated light output, and a diffuser over the LEDs controlled to provide a diffused light output). The multi-function lighting assembly can be employed as a universal board for seamless and convenient integration into various rear lamps having specific inner tail lenses.

Lit image projection devices and lamp assemblies containing the same for generation of three dimensional images. A projection device of the present disclosure comprises one or more light sources, a rippled substrate defining a reflective surface, the reflective surface configured to reflect light source light from the one or more light sources as reflected light, and a first lenticular lens configured to receive the reflected light from the reflective surface, wherein the reflected light received by the first lenticular lens generates a three-dimensional lit image.

A road surface drawing apparatus includes: a plurality of light sources that is capable of individually emitting a light; a mask having a plurality of light-transmitting windows, each light-transmitting window arranged to receive the light from a corresponding light source of the plurality of light sources; a partition that partitions a space between the plurality of light sources and the mask into a plurality of subspaces, each subspace allocated for each light-transmitting window and the corresponding light source; and a common projection lens arranged to project the light transmitted through each light-transmitting window from the corresponding light source onto a road surface.

A display device (30) comprises a reflective display (38) arranged to render a first image viewable through a viewing surface and a projection means (31-37) arranged to render a second image viewable in reflection on the viewing surface, the reflective display (38) and the projection means (31-37) being mounted on a common frame.
