Vehicle lighting
The present invention provides vehicle lighting capable of forming an irradiation pattern with a desired brightness distribution while efficiently utilizing light from light sources. The vehicle lighting includes both the light sources disposed in parallel, a condenser lens that condenses light from the light sources, a light-shielding member provided with an irradiation slit, and a projection lens that projects the light, and forms an irradiation pattern. The incident surface has a curved incident surface section and an annular incident surface section, the condenser lens has a reflective surface that surrounds the curved incident surface section, the first light source is disposed such that a first emitting surface is located on a projection lens optical axis of the projection lens, and the second light source is disposed inside the annular incident surface section such that a second emitting surface does not intersect the projection lens optical axis.
LIGHT-TRANSMITTING ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE
A light-transmitting assembly and a vehicle are provided in the disclosure. The light-transmitting assembly includes a light-transmitting substrate and a light source assembly. The light-transmitting substrate defines a mounting through-hole. The light source assembly is connected to the light-transmitting substrate and positioned at the mounting through-hole. The light source assembly includes a box, a lampshade, and a light-emitting element. The lampshade is detachably connected to the box. The lampshade and the box cooperatively define an accommodating space. The light-emitting element is received in the accommodating space. The light-transmitting assembly of the disclosure can be assembled and disassembled quickly and repeatedly, thereby realizing quick replacement of the light-emitting element.
ILLUMINATION DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
An illumination device for a motor vehicle having a printed circuit board with a plurality of light emitting diodes disposed thereon. An optical pane and a reflector element are provided, whereby the reflector element is disposed between the printed circuit board and the optical pane. The reflector element has a plurality of segments into which the reflector element is divided. Each light emitting diode is assigned a segment so that light emitted from the light emitting diodes is reflected by the segments of the reflector element and passes through the optical pane.
VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICE COMPRISING A TRANSLUCENT SUBSTRATE AND A MASK, AND ASSOCIATED MANUFACTURING METHOD
A light device having a translucent substrate, a mask overlying the substrate, and a light source. The mask includes an appearance layer and an opacifying layer. The mask has a plurality of holes passing through the opacifying layer to allow light to pass through the mask when the light source is switched on, each hole has a diameter less than 0.40 mm, the holes being distributed so as to jointly form a light pattern when the light source is switched on.
Flexible directional vehicle warning light
Disclosed is a directional warning light designed to bend along its longitudinal axis up to about 30 per side so as to conform to curved vehicle surfaces. Flexible components of the disclosed embodiments allow the bending and include a bendable optic, bendable base, and bendable circuit substrate.
IMAGE EMITTING DEVICE
An image emitting device for use with a vehicle includes a plate with a plurality of regions arranged in a pattern to form an image, with the plate having a first side forming a light emitting side and a second side forming a light input side. A light source directs light into the light input side of the plate when powered, which is powered by a power circuit to selectively power the light source based on (1) user input or (2) based on proximity to another image emitting device. In one form the regions comprise openings through the plate.
THROUGH-TYPE LAMP MOUNTING STRUCTURE AND VEHICLE
A through-type lamp mounting structure includes a housing. The housing is coupled to a front-end frame. Two ends of the housing extend towards two sides of a vehicle and extend to side lamp regions. The end portion of the housing is coupled to a fender through a coupling bracket.
OPTICAL DEVICE FOR A LIGHT SIGNAL LAMP
The optical device is intended to be placed in a housing to form a light signal lamp for a vehicle. The optical device includes, along the longitudinal direction: an input portion receiving rays emitted by a light source; a middle portion having two lateral faces spaced from each other along a transverse direction; an output portion including an output face through which the rays which have propagated in the optical device are emitted. The output portion comprises at least one module having lateral faces which, when viewed in the elevation direction, have an ogive shape and which define a front ridge extending substantially in a plane parallel to a plane.
Masked Double-Sided Optical Sheet Lighting Assembly
Disclosed herein are vehicle lamp assemblies comprising a double-sided optical sheet with a mask printed directly onto the optical sheet. The optical sheet comprises a light-homogenizing sheet disposed over a plurality of light-emitting diodes. Instead of placing the mask over the optical sheet on a structure, the light-homogenizing sheet itself serves as a substrate during a printing process such that the mask is printed directly onto the optical sheet. The optical sheet supports the weight of the mask. The mask itself may be opaque with cutouts such that light escapes through the cutouts; the cutouts may be designed to create any number of custom patterns as desired. Other types of masks, such as translucent masks, may also be printed on the other side of the optical sheet to protect portions of the lighting assembly or to otherwise further adjust the lighting character of the vehicle lamp.
Lighting device for a motor vehicle
A lighting device is provided for a motor vehicle. The lighting device contains a printed circuit board populated with light-emitting diodes and a reflector element. The reflector element is on the same side of the printed circuit board as the light-emitting diodes. The reflector element is subdivided into numerous segments. Each light-emitting diode is dedicated to a segment, such that the light from the light-emitting diodes can be reflected away from the printed circuit board by the reflector element in a beam direction (S). An optical element for the lighting device is placed downstream of the reflector element in the beam direction (S). The optical element has different optical properties above the reflective surface of the reflector element.
