  • Patent number: 10960815
    Abstract: A method for controlling a display means on board a motor vehicle, characterized in that it includes: a first step of determining the presence of a disruption in front of the vehicle, in which it is checked that at least one parameter representative of the presence of a disruption in front of the vehicle meets at least one predetermined condition; a second step of developing a display order that is triggered when the predetermined conditions are met, and in which an order to display a pictogram representative of the disruption on the display means is transmitted by an electronic control unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10619818
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a support for a light module, notably for a motor vehicle, including a reception zone for at least one light source. A reception zone for an optical device for forming the light is emitted by the light source or sources. A reception zone for an electromechanical microsystem with at least one mirror capable for receiving the rays originates from the optical forming device. A reception zone for at least one optical projection device receives the rays reflected by the mirror or mirrors of the electromechanical microsystem. The support forms a cavity with an aperture and comprises an outer surface around said aperture, said surface forming the reception zone for the electromechanical microsystem.

  • Patent number: 10364957
    Abstract: A lighting device, for a motor vehicle, including a transparent or translucent screen; and a lighting module able to project a light beam onto the screen. The screen includes a first diffusive area and a second non-diffusive area, such that a first part of the light beam, projected onto the first area, is diffused by the screen and that a second part of the beam is transmitted by the screen to an external projection surface.

  • Patent number: 9873938
    Abstract: A biaxially textured crystalline layer formed on a substrate using ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) is provided. The biaxially textured crystalline layer includes an oriented CaF2 crystalline layer having crystalline grains oriented in both in-plane and out-of-plane directions, where the out-of-plane orientation is a (111) out-of-plane orientation. The oriented CaF2 crystalline layer is disposed for growth of a subsequent epitaxial layer and the CaF2 crystalline layer is an IBAD CaF2 layer. The biaxially textured CaF2 layer can be used in a photovoltaic cell, an electronic or optoelectronic device, an integrated circuit, an optical sensor, or a magnetic device.
