  • Publication number: 20180119899
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical module intended to project a final light beam having a profiled cutoff having at least one horizontal segment, including a controlled light source emitting an initial beam, and optical cutting-off means for converting the initial beam into an intermediate cutoff beam containing a cutoff, in which beam the light rays are distributed vertically below the profiled cutoff. The optical module includes horizontally focusing optical means for focusing the intermediate cutoff beam toward a substantially vertical line of focus, and an exit lens having a vertical focal line that is coincident with the line of focus in order to convert the intermediate cutoff beam into the final beam.

  • Patent number: 7621664
    Abstract: The device comprises at least one power light emitting diode light source and other means able to constitute one or more heat sources of such a nature as to affect the thermal environment of the light emitting diode light source. In accordance with the invention, the device also comprises a support piece formed at least partially from a material based on anisotropic graphite supporting the light emitting diode light source and opposing an effect of the other means on the thermal environment of the light emitting diode light source. According to other characteristics, the support piece comprises at least one thermal dissipation heat sink and the device can comprise a fan able to force a circulation of air through the heat sink.
