  • Patent number: 11904775
    Abstract: The present invention refers to an indirect vision device for vehicles integrating a lighting unit, like light indicators or light decorative elements, preferably for vehicles. The lighting device (1) comprises: a light source (2), a light guide (5) for guiding light emitted by the light source (2). The light guide (5) comprises a light guide material and scattering particles (10) admixed therein, and the refractive index of the scattering particles (10) is different than the refractive index of the light guide matrix material, such that light guided by the light guide (5), can be scattered by the scattering particles (10) out of the light guide (5). The invention provides an indirect vision device with enhanced homogeneous luminance and increased luminance.

  • Patent number: 7690823
    Abstract: Comprises in combination: at least one light source; a support plate for the light source, which is at least one; a protective cover that permits the light emitted by the light source to reach the outside; at least one wall which, in combination with the cover, forms a casing to hold the said light source, in which at least the said support plate has a black coloured surface facing the said cover; and in which the position of said light source, which is at least one, in relation to the casing, is such that it emits the light directly to the exterior.
