Abstract: A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes one or more first lighting units, each of which is configured to generate a light distribution for a dipped beam function and/or a high beam function, and one or more second lighting units, each of which is configured to generate a light distribution for another lighting function. The first lighting unit(s) and the second lighting unit(s) are all covered by a common outer light panel which is translucent at least in some sections and via which light originating from the first lighting unit(s) and from the second lighting unit(s) exits from the lighting device. Each of the first lighting unit(s) is arranged at a distance from the outer light panel. Each of the second lighting unit(s) is rigidly connected to the outer light panel or is arranged at a distance from the outer light panel.

Abstract: An illumination apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a lighting device having one or more light sources, a reflector arrangement having one or more scatter reflectors, and one or more transparent bodies each having a surface made of a plurality of flat facets. The illumination apparatus is designed such that light generated by the light source(s) of the lighting device is scattered at the scatter reflector(s) of the reflector arrangement, as a result of which scattered light is created, which is refracted at least partially on facets of the transparent body or bodies and then exits the illumination apparatus in order to generate a light distribution.

Abstract: A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes a lighting apparatus which has one or more light sources and one or more transparent bodies which each have a surface made of a plurality of flat facets. The lighting device is configured such that light which comes from a light source at least in part passes through a transparent body and is refracted at facets of the transparent body. The light which passes through the transparent body at least in part exits from the lighting device in order to create a light distribution. An associated transparent body is a molded component having one or more recesses which are integrally molded in the molded component, the molded component being clamped in the lighting device by the engagement of one or more projections into the one or more recesses.

Abstract: The invention provides a lens for an optical module adapted to be mounted in a lighting apparatus for a motor vehicle. The lens comprises two distinct materials associated with each other and having different refractive indices.

Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight of comprising a reflector, at least partly substantially in the form of an ellipsoid with a symmetry axis determined by the intersection of a first vertical plane and a first horizontal plane. The refractor is a useful portion of a spherical plano-convex lens having its optical axis merged with the symmetry axis, has a focus substantially merged with a second focus of the reflector, has a contour which has a barycentre offset by a predetermined distance with respect to the optical centre of the lens, and in that the second light flux passing through the useful portion is equal to a predetermined proportion of the first flux.

Abstract: A headlight for a motor vehicle designed to fulfil several functions, in particular a dual functions, one of the functions corresponding to a beam with cut-off, comprising: a light source, a main elliptical reflector having a scalloped part and an optical axis; a main lens disposed in front of the main elliptical reflector; a retractable shield able to occupy at least one active position for the cut-off beam and a retracted position for another type of beam; a secondary elliptical reflector coupled to the scalloped part of the main elliptical reflector and having a optical axis inclined with respect to that of the main reflector; and an additional lens disposed in front of the secondary elliptical reflector having an optical axis essentially parallel to that of the main lens.
