Patent number: 10562447Abstract: An interior lighting module for a motor vehicle interior, the lighting module including at least two light sources, each light source being associated with an optical guide in order to make at least two distinct light beams. The lighting module thus makes it possible to produce at least two light functions, preferentially distinct from one another. According to the invention, the light sources of the lighting module are secured to one and the same planar substrate in order to facilitate the incorporation thereof in the interior of the motor vehicle and to facilitate the establishing of the electrical connections with the electrical circuit of the interior and also relates to a motor vehicle interior including such an interior lighting module.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: VALEO VISIONInventors: Pierre-Louis Tassy, Jingjing Xue, Martin Trebes, Peter Haebler

Publication number: 20180118104Abstract: Light guide for a lighting module, notably for a motor vehicle. The light guide is designed to guide light emanating from a light source within it. The light guide includes a bent inlet portion intended to be optically coupled to the light source for injecting light into the light guide. An outlet portion is optically coupled to the inlet portion and designed to radiate all or some of the light injected into the light guide. The inlet portion has an optical element configured to radiate part of the light passing into the inlet portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2017Publication date: May 3, 2018Applicant: Valeo VisionInventors: Remi Letoumelin, Pierre-Louis Tassy

Patent number: 9091407Abstract: The invention deals with a light module, notably for motor vehicles, comprising a reflector with a reflecting surface , a screen arranged facing the reflector, the screen a semi-reflecting area, and a light guide extending longitudinally along the screen and the reflector. The guide comprises a diffusing output face extending transversally from the semi-reflecting area of the screen to the reflector. A portion of the rays exiting from the output face passes through the semi-transparent area, the other portion being also reflected toward the reflecting surface to form successive images with a depth effect of 3D type, without dark areas between these images.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Valeo VisionInventors: Christophe Dubosc, Pierre Louis Tassy
