  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20250137611
    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: 11313530
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle lighting device including a lens intended to deflect the light rays emitted by a light source and including a wheel sector with a driven surface. The wheel sector is made in one piece with the lens as a whole. Also included is a driving means with a driving surface such that the driving surface is in contact with the driven surface, and movement of the driving surface drives movement of the lens.

  • Patent number: 11193644
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a reflector device for a lighting module of a motor vehicle. The device includes a housing made of plastic, wherein the internal faces are metallized so as to reflect the light received. The housing on an external face of one of its walls has reception means able to house a support including at least one light source, the wall having an opening which leads toward the inside of the housing and which allows the light emitted by the light source or sources to propagate toward the inside of the housing. According to the provisions of the invention, the external face of the housing may be connected to ground potential so as to act as a shield against the electromagnetic waves emitted by various electronic components.

  • Patent number: 10760763
    Abstract: A lighting module intended to be placed behind a translucent or transparent outer lens or window, the module including: a place for at least one light source that is able to emit light rays; and an optical system that is able to deviate the light rays emitted by the one or more light sources so as to form a light beam along an optical axis of the module, the optical system extending in a main direction that is transverse to the optical axis and including an exit face for rays. The exit face of the optical system has in sagittal cross section a concave or convex curved general profile.

  • Patent number: 10118540
    Abstract: A signaling and/or lighting device for a motor vehicle, notably a stop light for a rear window of a motor vehicle, including a printed circuit received by a support. The printed circuit includes at least one light source an emitting face of which is oriented toward an optical lens of the device, the emitting face being generally perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. The printed circuit support makes it possible to receive the latter at a plurality of predetermined distances relative to the optical lens, thereby assuring the focusing of the light emitted by different types of light sources that can be used in the device.
