An illumination apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a lighting device having one or more light sources, a reflector arrangement having one or more scatter reflectors, and one or more transparent bodies each having a surface made of a plurality of flat facets. The illumination apparatus is designed such that light generated by the light source(s) of the lighting device is scattered at the scatter reflector(s) of the reflector arrangement, as a result of which scattered light is created, which is refracted at least partially on facets of the transparent body or bodies and then exits the illumination apparatus in order to generate a light distribution.

The invention relates to a light element of a vehicle with at least one light source configured to emit light rays, a reflective layer. With a pattern made wholly or partly in the reflective layer. The light element further including an optical element configured to project the light rays from the at least one light source towards the reflective layer. With a dark layer extending along the optical element on the side opposite the reflective layer.

A light module for a lighting device of a vehicle is disclosed having at least one illuminant and a light-guiding body which is suitable and destined for guiding radiation emanating from the illuminant and coupled into the light-guiding body to a light exit surface of the light-guiding body, and having at least one rear wall apparatus which is arranged at least in certain areas in the beam path of ambient radiation incident from externally through the light exit surface of the light-guiding body into the light-guiding body. The rear wall apparatus has at least one first rear wall region and at least one second rear wall region, wherein the at least one first rear wall region and the at least one second rear wall region differ from one another in terms of reflection and/or absorption properties, for example with regard to the ambient radiation.

A light-emitting device for a vehicle and has at least one light-emitting unit, the light-emitting unit including a light source and a reflective unit. The reflective unit includes a first reflective portion, having a first reflective face facing the light source; and a second reflective portion, having a second reflective face facing a light output region of the light-emitting unit The reflective unit further includes a bridging portion connecting the first reflective portion and the second reflective portion.

A vehicular lamp is provided capable of enabling an observer to visually recognize the first and the second light-emitting areas as if they are integrated (connected) with each other when emitting light regardless of viewpoint positions. The vehicular lamp includes: a first light-emitting area and a second light-emitting area adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction with a gap; a third light-emitting area observed through the gap; a gap light-emitting unit disposed behind the gap; and a light control unit disposed between the gap and the gap light-emitting unit. The gap light-emitting unit includes a front and upper view light-emitting units disposed therebelow. The upper view light-emitting unit and the light control unit each have a lower portion extending downward. The light control unit includes an optical element controlling light from the upper view light-emitting unit by a predetermined angle upward so that the light passes through the gap.
