  • Patent number: 10821879
    Abstract: A vehicle equipped with analysing means that analyse a zone (ZA) located in front of the vehicle is equipped with a lighting device (DE). This device (DE) comprises: —a first source (S1) that generates first photons and a reflector (RP) that reflects the first photons toward the zone (ZA) so that they form a first light beam (F1) that performs a photometric lighting function, —a second source (S2) that is installed in front of a central portion (PC) of the reflector (RP) and that generates second photons, —a lens (LF) that is inserted between the second source (S2) and the zone (ZA), that is positionable in various positions, and that forms, with the second photons, a second light beam (F2) that is narrow and that points toward a sub-zone of the zone (ZA) that depends on a set lens position, and—controlling means (MC) that set the position of the lens in case of detection of an obstacle in a sub-zone of known position.

  • Publication number: 20120250345
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dedicated lighting unit (D) which includes: i) at least one light guide (GL) comprising two opposing ends, at least one of which is coupled with a light source (SL); ii) a reflector (RL) having at least one concave section and intended for being placed opposite a rear portion of the light guide (GL) in order to reflect the guided light from the light source (SL) towards a front portion (PV) of the light guide (GL); and iii) a screen (EC) having at least one transparent central portion (PC) intended for being placed opposite at least one portion of the front portion (PV) of the light guide (GL) in order to be illuminated by the light transferred towards the outside and thus to induce a style effect and/or a three-dimensional effect.
