THIN LIGHT MANAGING SYSTEM FOR DIRECTING AND DISTRIBUTING LIGHT FROM ONE OR MORE LIGHT SOURCES AND METHOD FOR MAKING OPTICS STRUCTURES FOR USE IN THE SYSTEM
Abstract:
A rear signal lamp (10) of an automotive vehicle comprising a lamp housing (14) and a curved cover lens (22) for enclosing a thin light managing system (12). The thin light managing system (12) includes a plurality of backlight light-emitting diodes (28) mounted in a light mounting substrate (30) and secured to the lamp housing (14). A control module (34) operatively connected to the light-emitting diodes (28) for controlling the operation and illumination of the light-emitting diodes (28). A reflector matrix (36) having a plurality of reflector cones (38) corresponding to each of the light-emitting diodes (28) in the mounting substrate (30) and a hybrid optics panel (40) having a direct lensing section (42) covering the reflector matrix (36) and light-emitting diodes (28) and a double redirecting light pipe section (44) surrounding the lensing section (42). A single light-emitting diode (28) is coupled along spaced apart quadrants (98, 100, 102, 104) of the redirecting light pipe (44). Each single light-emitting diode (28) emits light to the respective quadrant of the optics panel (40) which is reflected and redirected from one or more lens facets to illuminate the front surface of the panel. The direct lensing section (42) and redirecting light pipe (44) illuminate distinct area on the curved cover lens (22).
