Patent number: 11339940Abstract: A lighting module for an automotive vehicle. The module comprises a support, for example made by a heat dissipation device, and a printed circuit board accommodating at least one light source of a first type. The printed circuit board is housed on the support. The lighting module proposes allowing light sources of a second type, generating, for example, a different amount of heat, to be housed so that the rays arising from the two types of sources may be coupled into one and the same light guide, while efficiently dissipating the heat generated by each of the types of light sources.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: VALEO ILUMINACIONInventors: Jose-Ramon Martinez-Perez, Antonio Domingo Illan, Jose-David Roldan, Miguel-Angel Pena, Manuel Calmaestra

Patent number: 10928569Abstract: One embodiment can provide a laminate film for optical filtering. The laminate film can include a flexible substrate, one or more Bragg-reflector stacks positioned on the flexible substrate, and a high-refractive-index layer positioned on the one or more Bragg-reflector stacks. A respective Bragg-reflector stack has a number of layers with alternating refractive indices, and the Bragg-reflector is configured to have a stopping band with a predetermined center wavelength. A refractive index of the high-refractive-index layer is greater than that of an adjacent layer of the one or more Bragg-reflector stacks, thereby reducing incident-angle sensitivity of the one or more Bragg-reflector stacks. Moreover, at least one Bragg-reflector stack is configured to achieve a predetermined hue.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Krishnan Thyagarajan, José Ramón Martínez Saavedra
