  • Patent number: 10267477
    Abstract: A lighting module for a motor vehicle includes a first light source and a first collimator for generating a first light beam of “low beam” type in collaboration with a first projection lens. Also included are second and a third light sources, the second light source collaborating with a second collimator to generate a first beam complementing the first light beam in order to form a second light beam of “high beam” type. In order to reduce the visibility of a cut-off zone in the second beam, the third light source collaborates with a third collimator and/or a second projection lens in order to form a second complementary beam which at least partly overlaps the cut-off zone. A front headlight for a motor vehicle can include such a lighting module.

  • Patent number: 8820991
    Abstract: A lighting and/or signalling device for a motor vehicle comprising at least one light source (S) emitting a light beam and at least one optical guide (G) within which the light beam propagates, the optical guide comprising: a first face forming an exit face (FS) for the light beam, a second face forming a face (FR) for reflecting the light beam, and a screen (ED) disposed facing the reflection face (FR) of the light guide (G) and comprising an orientation means redirecting light rays escaping from the guide at the reflection face, so as to return them, at least partially, into the guide, the orientation means comprising catadioptric reflecting patterns.
