  • Patent number: 10889241
    Abstract: A device for controlling a matrix of light sources of a luminous module for lighting the interior of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The device includes a central unit configured to receive an instruction to activate one among a plurality of preset functions for lighting the passenger compartment, and functionally connected to a plurality of command devices, each of which is configured to command the activation of a group of light sources of the matrix. The central unit is configured to select a plurality of light sources of the matrix to activate to produce the lighting function, and to transmit instructions to the command devices in order to command the activation of the selected light sources.

  • Patent number: 10731817
    Abstract: A luminous motor-vehicle module, comprising an array of light sources and a bifocal imaging device that is designed to project an image of each light source, wherein the luminous module comprises at least one primary optical element, which at its exit does not modify in a vertical direction V the angle of the incident rays, and which allows secondary sources to be formed the lateral dimension of which is larger than a lateral dimension of the light sources and the angular aperture of the emitted secondary light beams of which is smaller than an angular aperture of the light beams emitted by the light sources.

  • Patent number: 10401545
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light optical guide, including the following steps: providing the optical guide extending in a main direction, the guide having an outer surface; producing along the outer surface of the optical guide, in the main direction, diffusing or reflecting patterns which can make the light exit the guide; and wherein the diffusing or reflecting patterns are produced by using a laser ray on the outer surface of the optical guide.
