  • Patent number: 10378722
    Abstract: A lighting system for a motor vehicle includes a printed circuit board equipped with light-emitting diodes for producing light and an optical module to propagate and transmit the light. The optical module includes a reception surface to receive the light produced and an emission surface for retransmitting the light produced. The optical module includes a housing for receiving the printed circuit board equipped with light-emitting diodes and the housing includes an internal wall forming the reception surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9821711
    Abstract: A lighting system for a motor vehicle includes a printed circuit board equipped with light emitting diodes for emitting light beams in lighting directions and an optical module formed to propagate and transmit the light beams. The optical module has a reception surface to receive the light beams and an emission surface for retransmitting the light beams. The lighting system also includes at least one element for masking the light beams emitted by the light emitting diodes. The element for masking which extends from at least one of the light emitting diodes toward the reception surface and substantially parallel to the lighting direction of the at least one light emitting diode, over at least a part of the periphery of the at least one light emitting diode and over at least a part of a distance separating the at least one light emitting diode and the reception surface.

  • Publication number: 20160195230
    Abstract: A lighting system for an automobile vehicle includes a rigid printed circuit board equipped with light-emitting diodes. The rigid board is disposed parallel to a predetermined lighting direction of the lighting system. The lighting system also includes an optical module to propagate and guide the light beams emitted by the light-emitting diodes such that each light beam exiting from the optical module is substantially parallel to the lighting direction.

  • Publication number: 20160186950
    Abstract: A lighting system for a motor vehicle headlight includes a rigid printed circuit plate equipped with light-emitting diodes on one face of the rigid plate, the rigid plate being inclined by an angle of 50° to 70° relative to a predetermined lighting direction of the lighting system, and an individual optical module associated with each of the light-emitting diodes. The individual optical module is formed to propagate and guide a light beam emitted by the associated light-emitting diode such that the light beam exiting from the individual optical module is substantially parallel to the lighting direction.
