Publication number: 20240059217Abstract: To allow an easily producible lighting device that manages with few components and enables an efficient, desired light distribution in an interior space, the provided method and device includes a light guide with a longitudinal transport section and at least one transverse transport section. The longitudinal transport section has at least one light entry surface, arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal extension of the longitudinal transport section, for coupling light into the longitudinal transport section, and a light exit section along the longitudinal extension. The transverse transport section has a flat design, and is connected to the longitudinal transport section at at least one first narrow side. The transverse transport section also has secondary deflection elements at which the coupled-in light is deflected in such a way that the light exits at the opposite broad sides.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: HELLA GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20230406202Abstract: A method for producing a lighting device and a lighting device, comprising a flat light guide extending in a z-direction, wherein the light guide has a thickness, a back side, a front side and circumferential narrow sides, and scattering particles are arranged in its volume. A reflector is arranged at the back of the light guide and at least one light source is optically connected to the light guide for coupling light. Furthermore, the lighting device has a surface coating. In order to provide homogeneous illumination of the interior and a compact lighting device, the surface coating has a light transmission starting from the at least one light source in the z-direction, which increases to the extent that the curve of the light intensity of the at least one light source decreases and the light guide is formed by cohesive back-injection of a carrier foil with the surface coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: HELLA GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 11754910Abstract: A system is provided for illuminating the face of an occupant for a video call in a car. At least one light source has a main light emission direction (A) which is directed toward the face of the occupant. The system also includes a camera provided to record the face of the occupant. The system controls the light source in such a way to obtain a flickering free recording of the face of the occupant.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: René Berthold, Ana Bizal, Simon Luetzelschwab, Heiko Schoene
