An exterior structure includes a non-light-transmitting portion configured to not transmit an external light, and a light-transmitting portion arranged near the non-light-transmitting portion and configured to reflect and transmit the external light. Light released outward from the non-light-transmitting portion includes light reflected by the non-light-transmitting portion. Light released outward from the light-transmitting portion includes a combination of light reflected by the light-transmitting portion and light applied to the light-transmitting portion from an inner side and passing through the light-transmitting portion. The color difference E between the light released outward from the non-light-transmitting portion and the light released outward from the light-transmitting portion is 5 or less.

An illumination assembly for a vehicle is provided herein. The illumination assembly includes one or more decorative elements each having a substrate and a film attached thereto. A light source is configured to emit an excitation light. The light source is disposed within a tail-light assembly and the excitation light exits the tail-light assembly through a light transmissive portion towards the decorative element. A first photoluminescent structure is disposed within the decorative element and is configured to convert the excitation light emitted from the light source into a converted light of a different wavelength.

A vehicle lamp, which reflects light of a predetermined color using ambient light and emits light of a predetermined pattern using internal light, includes: a light source that emits light; a lens disposed in a light emission path of the light source; and a main film attached to the lens. The main film includes: a color layer that reflects ambient light in a predetermined color; and a functional layer that selectively transmits the light emitted from the light source.

A vehicle lamp includes a light source unit generating light; a first lens unit including an emission surface to emit the light and at least one reflective surface to reflect the light toward the emission surface; and a deposit layer provided on the at least one reflective surface to reflect the light from the light source unit. A vehicle lamp includes a light source unit generating light; a first lens unit including an outer lens unit that includes an emission surface formed as a closed-loop structure to emit the light, and a reflective surface to reflect the light toward the emission surface, and an inner lens unit along an inner periphery of the emission surface to face the reflective surface; and a deposit layer provided on the reflective surface and/or the inner lens unit to reflect the light from the light source unit.

A light source unit for a vehicle lamp includes a light generating portion including a light source that emits excitation light, a light emitting layer constituted of an inorganic material and emitting generated light by irradiation of the excitation light, and a holding member that holds the layer; and a lens member that irradiates the generated light from the layer in a front direction in a vehicle-mounted state. The unit further includes a reflective portion disposed between the layer and the lens member, capable of reflecting a part of light from outside of the lens member, and capable of transmitting the generated light generated in the layer; or a light absorbing portion disposed between the layer and the lens member, and absorbing a part of a wavelength component among light from outside of the lens member being associated with the generated light.

The invention relates to a lighting device for the back region of a motor vehicle. The lighting device includes: a light source; a housing on or in which the light source is arranged; a cover panel covering the housing at least in sections; and a reflection apparatus disposed outside of the housing. The light generated by the light source emerges at least in part from the housing of the lighting device through the cover panel when the lighting device is in the installed state. The light that has emerged through the cover panel is at least partly incident on the reflection apparatus and is at least partly reflected by the reflection apparatus, such that it moves away backward from the back region of the motor vehicle.
