A method is disclosed for manufacturing, by injection molding with use of a mold, a light guide plate in which a first region having a curvature in a first direction and a second region having a predetermined curved surface are connected. The mold includes a first member for forming the first region and a second member for forming the second region. The first member is manufactured by bending a first electroforming stamper on which a predetermined structure is formed by electroforming in a direction corresponding to the first direction.

Various embodiments of a combination lamp are provided, which combine a plurality of different lamp functions in a unitary configuration, and can reduce the total amount of space taken up for at least substantially the same amount of illumination produced. The combination lamps can be configured for use on vehicles, light fixtures, free standing lamps, decorative articles, etc. In some embodiments, each lamp component may have a power connection element independent from the other lamp components.

An optical device for a lighting module. The invention relates to an optical device and a lighting module including a light source provided with a plurality of emitting elements and with said optical device. One face of a lens of the device comprises an array of recessed patterns, each of which is organized with a specific profile so as to produce an optimized light distribution. The profile in particular has a rotational symmetry.

A lamp includes a light source, a central lens optically aligned with the light source to receive a first portion of light emitted by the light source and transmit the first portion of light in a first output beam, a side emitting lens generally disposed between the central lens and the light source and arranged to receive a second portion of the light, and a plurality of light guides each having a light input end and operatively coupled to the side emitting lens to receive the second portion of light emitted from the light source that is directed through the side emitting lens and having a light output end, wherein each of the plurality of light guides has a light refraction structure on a first side for directing the second portion of the light in a second output beam from a second side.

Particular embodiments may provide a crossbar with a plurality of light sources and a controller. The controller may be configured to: determine a sequence of a vehicle and, in response to determining the sequence, cause a light source of the plurality of light sources to perform an action.

1. Illumination device (10) for a vehicle lamp, preferably a rear vehicle lamp, comprising: a first light source (100) configured to emit light in a main direction (X) and contributes to a first light distribution, a second light source (200) configured to emit light in the main direction (X) and contributes to a second light distribution, a cover lens (300) with a translucent section (310), a mounting body (20), on which the first and second light source (100, 200) are mounted, wherein the illumination device (10) comprises an additional lens device (400) comprising a first projection section (410) and a second projection section (420), which are at least partly translucent and are configured to project light of the first and second light source (100, 200) into the translucent section (310) of the cover lens (300), wherein the first projection section (410) in combination with the first light source (100) is configured to produce the first light distribution, and wherein the second projection section (420) in combination with the second light source (200) is configured to produce the second light distribution, wherein the additional lens device (400) comprises a first opaque section (430), which is arranged between the first and second projection section (410, 420) and is configured to separate both projection sections (410, 420) from each other, wherein the first opaque section (430) comprises an extension element (440), which is mechanically connected to the first opaque section (430) and extends from the first opaque section (430) towards and reaches between the first and second light source (100, 200), wherein the extension element (440) is arranged in a way to prevent light emitted from one of the light sources (100, 200) to couple into the other light source.

Various embodiments of a combination lamp are provided, which combine a plurality of different lamp functions in a unitary configuration, and can reduce the total amount of space taken up for at least substantially the same amount of illumination produced. The combination lamps can be configured for use on vehicles, light fixtures, free standing lamps, decorative articles, etc. In some embodiments, each lamp component may have a power connection element independent from the other lamp components.

A vehicle, a vehicle light system, a light projection apparatus for implementation in the vehicle light system, a computer-implemented method of operating a vehicle, and a computer program product for operating a vehicle. The light projection apparatus is controlled to generate one or more projections of a graphical image, pattern, text, symbol, character, geometric shape, indicia, or combinations thereof on a target roadway surface (e.g., projection surface, road surface, etc.) to visually indicate an intended or actual implementation of a vehicle maneuver (e.g., change of lane and/or left or right turn) and/or an intended actuation of the vehicle braking. The one or more projection(s) would be supplemental to the use of forward and rear turn signal light indicators.

A rear combination lamp for a vehicle comprises: a first housing member that is opaque; a first light source inside the first housing member; a first lightguide abutting the first housing member and enclosing the first light source, a first taillight portion extending from the first lightguide; a structural member that is opaque and abuts the first lightguide on an opposite side from the first housing member; a second lightguide abutting the structural member on an opposite side from the first lightguide, a second taillight portion extending from the second lightguide; a second housing member that is opaque and that abuts the second lightguide on an opposite side from the structural member; and a second light source inside the second housing member, wherein the second lightguide encloses the second light source.
