  • Patent number: 12449108
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light module including a fixed mount intended to act as a support for a light source, a projection optic that has a focal plane and is designed to project a light beam from the light rays emitted by the light source, a member for holding the projection optic. According to the invention, the holding member includes a first support element and a second support element. The second support element acts as a support for the projection optic. The first support element connects the second support element to the fixed mount. The support elements are arranged so as to position the focal plane in a location in which the light module ensures good projection image quality in spite of the thermal expansion of the projection optic.

  • Patent number: 12320486
    Abstract: The invention relates to a luminous module for automotive vehicle including a light source and a projection optic designed to project a light field onto the ground. The luminous module also includes an element with a variable light transmission rate positioned between the light source and the projection optic, the element with a variable light transmission rate includes at least one first portion and at least one second portion. Each of these portions has a different light transmission rate so that the image sectors respectively formed by the first portion and the second portion have the same luminous intensity.

  • Patent number: 11746976
    Abstract: The invention provides an automotive lighting device with a circuit support, an optics support, a holder support and a microlenses support. The optics support includes optical elements, each one being arranged in front of one of the solid-state light sources of the printed circuit board. The optics support further includes positioning protrusions configured to fit the positioning housings of the circuit support. The holder support includes a plurality of opaque walls, a first coupler and a second coupler. Each opaque wall is located between two optical elements. The microlenses support includes a plurality of groups of microlenses, each group having a plurality of microlenses arranged to receive the light projected by one optical elements. The first coupler is configured to couple the holder support to the circuit support. The second coupler is intended to retain the microlenses support.
