  • Publication number: 20240125444
    Abstract: A lighting device for a motor vehicle, wherein the lighting device has a circuit board with a multiplicity of light-emitting diodes arranged thereon, a transparent optical layer, and a reflector element, wherein the reflector element is arranged between the circuit board and the optical layer, wherein the reflector element has multiple segments into which the reflector element is subdivided, wherein a segment is associated with each light-emitting diode so that light emitted by the light-emitting diodes can be reflected by the reflector element and can pass through the optical layer. Two light-emitting diodes are arranged in a segment. In addition, a lighting system and a motor vehicle are provided.

  • Patent number: 11940118
    Abstract: A lighting device for a vehicle, having a plurality of light sources, which are arranged in an array, in particular in line-by-line and column-by-column fashion, and can be operated independently of each other at least in part, wherein the light sources emit light during operation; an exit face through which the light emanating from the light sources passes; and a plurality of extensive boundary elements, which extend at least partly in a region between the light sources and the exit face and serve to separate the light emanating from different light sources, wherein at least some, preferably all, of the extensive boundary elements have a reflector which at least partly reflects the light emanating from one of the light sources in the direction of the exit face.

  • Patent number: 10948153
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus for an automated or partially automated vehicle, having a light module, which contains a light source unit having a number of light sources and an optical unit assigned to the light source unit for generating a light signal, a surroundings sensor unit for detecting road users in surroundings of the vehicle, a control unit for controlling the light module, so that the light module generates the light signal as a function of the road users detected by the surroundings sensor unit and/or a relative position thereof with respect to the vehicle, the light module being positioned in a defined location of the vehicle and being designed in such a way that the light signal may be radiated at different horizontal and/or vertical spatial angles.
