Patent number: 10711982Abstract: A light module, comprising: a support comprising at least one first surface called a separating surface and at least one organic light-emitting diode comprising a first light-emitting part, a connecting part or means for attaching the diode to the support and an electrical connector or means for electrically 10 connecting the diode. The means for attaching the diode and the electrical connector or means for electrically connecting the diode are borne by a part of this diode, called a connecting part. Additionally, the separating surface of the support delimits a light-scattering area into which the first light-emitting part of the diode extends, and separates this light-scattering area from a 15 masked area, into which connecting part of the diode extends, such that the connecting part is occulted by the separating surface of the support.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: VALEO VISIONInventors: Christophe Dubosc, Damien Cabanne, Benoit Reiss, Eric Moisy
