Abstract: An optical device comprising at least one first light guide having an exit face. The first guide is configured to propagate the light rays emitted by a first light source toward its exit face. The exit face is placed facing a coupling zone that forms part of the lateral surface of a generally tubular second light guide of the optical device. The optical device allows the transmission of the light emitted via the exit face of the first guide through the second guide to be improved. The optical device especially proposes the implementation of a luminous device for an automotive vehicle integrating two luminous functions.

Abstract: The invention proposes to gather bin information identifying semiconductor-component light sources in a luminous module for a motor vehicle by way of a single electronic circuit in which the light sources and the bin information relating thereto are implemented. The invention allows the cabling between a supply device and a printed circuit board containing the electronic circuit according to the invention to be decreased since the bin information required for the configuration of the supply device is gathered actively over the supply line of the light sources.

Abstract: A light module comprising a means for supporting at least one collector of light rays in the vicinity of which there is a light guide suitable for guiding the rays emitted by a light source from an input face to at least two distinct and adjacent output faces. A distinction is made between a main output face, through which the rays pass in a first direction, and at least one additional output face which is oriented such that the light rays leaving the guide through this additional output face are directed toward the collector, in a second direction distinct from the first direction.

Abstract: A lighting unit including devices for emitting a luminous flux in the direction of a reflector featuring devices for optical deflection of the flux toward the outlet of the unit, the reflector including a support wall that is fastened to the optical deflection devices and is disposed across the optical deflection devices so as to be disposed between the optical deflection devices and the emission devices. The support wall includes a masking portion that is disposed facing the emission devices and a so-called cut-off edge of which is cut away so as to form a mask integral with the support wall adapted to allow to pass only a portion of the rays emitted by the emission devices. The invention also concerns a motor vehicle headlamp, notably in that it includes two lighting units disposed transversely side by side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting and/or signaling module comprising a support, a light guide arranged in an enclosure of said support and a mask arranged on the support and extending in front of the light guide. The light guide comprises a longitudinal rib intended to collaborate by engaging with a series of hooks belonging to the support. The mask is intended to mask the mounting zones of the light guide. It comprises one or more windows intended to let through the rays of light emitted transversally by the light guide. The rib extends continuously over essentially the entire length of each of the windows. The rib allows simple, rapid and reliable attachment of the light guide to its support. The continuity of the rib among each of the windows means that the creation of any visible non-uniformity through said windows is avoided.
