    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to light output that can include light that is outside the visible spectrum to enhance a driver's awareness of the environment. Such light can be output, and reflections thereof can be captured to perform object detection. Outputs can be provided by a display or other output device of the vehicle to supplement and enhance the view of the environment. Such light output and detection can be provided with or in the absence of light that is within the visible spectrum, thereby allowing the driver and/or an autonomous system to avoid excessive reflection of visible light. Aspects of the disclosure can help to improve illumination by a vehicle and provide additional outputs to help a driver and/or an autonomous system safely operate the vehicle.

    摘要: An optical device for a motor vehicle headlight for producing continuously closed light distribution. The optical device includes: light sources; collimators which are respectively associated with a light source; and a light guiding body, which has a light shaping structure and is formed from a plurality of interconnected facets. The facets respectively have an inclination to the main emission direction, wherein the spatial vector of a facet forms a horizontal and a vertical angle of inclination to the main emission direction. The inclinations of all facets are distributed such that the horizontal angles of inclination are respectively distributed around an expected value that corresponds to the maximum luminous intensity of the light distribution such that light that enters or leaves the light guiding body via facets that have horizontal and vertical angles of inclination corresponding to the expected value forms the maximum luminous intensity of the light distribution. The light shaping structure forms the light entry side and/or the light exit side of the light guiding body, wherein the facets are distributed substantially homogeneously on the light entry and/or exit sides in relation to their respective inclinations.

    摘要: A black exterior taillight assembly for a vehicle includes a blue light source configured to generate blue light. The black exterior taillight assembly also includes a blue filter overlying the blue light source and configured pass the blue light therethrough while blocking other colors of light. The black exterior taillight assembly also includes a phosphor layer overlying the blue filter and configured to absorb the blue light and to emit red light. The black exterior taillight assembly also includes a red filter overlying the phosphor layer and configured to pass the red light therethrough while blocking other colors of light.

    摘要: Multiple light sources are arranged in an array. A light guide member receives light emitted from the multiple light sources on its back face, and outputs the light thus received from its front face. The light guide member has a base portion such that its back face faces the multiple light sources and such that it extends in the array direction of the multiple light sources. Multiple back-face protrusions and multiple front-face protrusions are formed such that they protrude from the back face and the front face of the base portion. The front-face protrusion has multiple continuous faces in the circumferential direction along the front face of the base portion.

    摘要: A lamp for a vehicle includes a light source unit for generating a first light; a light adjustment unit for adjusting a first light concentration for the first light to generate a second light having a second light concentration from the first light concentration; and a movable mirror unit for reflecting the second light to form an image of a predetermined shape on a road surface. A position where the image is formed on the road surface is changed depending on a position of the movable mirror unit.
