  • Patent number: 11867370
    Abstract: An automotive lighting device, a vehicle and a method for operating an automotive lighting device are described. To economically fulfil different lighting functions the automotive lighting device includes a first and a second lighting unit. The first lighting unit is disposed to emit a first light of a first colour. The second lighting unit is disposed to emit a second light of a second colour different from the first colour. A mixing space is arranged to merge the first light and the second light to a third light of a third colour. The third light is disposed to fulfil a first automotive lighting function and the second light is disposed to fulfil a second automotive lighting function. The first automotive lighting function requires a colour within a first colour range and the second automotive lighting function requires a colour within a second colour range which is different from the first colour range.

  • Publication number: 20230206478
    Abstract: An imaging system includes multiple LED modules, a single image sensor, a controller, a processing unit and a depth map generator. Each LED module has a distinct angular emission profile and emits light having a distinct wavelength range. The image sensor detects light originating from at least two of the LED modules after reflection by an object in a field of view of the image sensor to provide an image sensor output. The controller controls the LED modules to turn on and off such that only one LED module emits light at a time. The processing unit processes the image sensor output to identify an intensity profile for the reflected light from each of the LED modules. The depth map generator determines an angular position of the object based at least on the intensity profile for the reflected light from each of the LED modules.
