  • Publication number: 20190113203
    Abstract: A rear lamp apparatus of a vehicle is provided. The rear lamp apparatus includes a light source configured to irradiate beams, a hologram lens configured to generate a specific image when the beams irradiated from the light source are incident thereto and a reflector disposed to position the beams of the light source incident thereto and reflect the beams irradiated from the light source to transmit the beams to the hologram lens. A shield is disposed between the light source and the hologram lens to block the beams irradiated from the light source to prevent the beams from being incident to the hologram lens. Accordingly, the rear lamp apparatus resolves distortion when a hologram image is formed and is advantageous in a layout by reducing a reproduction distance when a recording distance of the hologram image is increased..

  • Publication number: 20190071001
    Abstract: A rear lamp apparatus of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a light source that emits light having a first wavelength band, a light filter disposed with a first side facing an exterior and a second side facing an interior, that reflects light having the first wavelength band, and transmits light having a second wavelength band that is different from the first wavelength band. A light diffraction element is disposed to receive light emitted from the light source and changes a transmission path of incident light to direct. The light emitted is transmitted to the first side of the light filter by the light diffraction element and is reflected to be directed toward the exterior of the vehicle to prevent the transmission to the interior of the vehicle. Accordingly, a rear lamp is turned on at a side of rear glass and exterior and interior visual fields are improved.

  • Patent number: 10114279
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp device is disclosed that is capable of projecting driving information onto the road using a high beam and of improving visibility of an image containing the driving information projected onto the road. Specifically, as the result of adjusting the color of the image suitable for the driving information projected onto the road, the driver is capable of more easily perceiving the driving information due to the image having a specific color corresponding to the driving information. In addition, as the result of correcting an anamorphically-enlarged image using an anamorphic lens, the image containing the driving information is projected onto the road more clearly.

  • Patent number: 9989208
    Abstract: A light emitting apparatus for a vehicle includes a light source, a diffuser and a beam guider. The light source emits light having a beam pattern with a first imaginary line starting from a center of the beam pattern and extending to a perimeter of the beam pattern and a second imaginary line starting from the center of the beam pattern and extending to the perimeter of the beam pattern at a preset angle relative to the first imaginary line. The first and second imaginary lines have lengths different from each other. The diffuser receives the light of the light source and diffuses the received light to reduce the difference between the lengths of the first and second imaginary lines. The beam guider guides the diffused light along a path to produce an outlet light within a preset range.
