  • Patent number: 11491908
    Abstract: The invention proposes a lighting device for a motor vehicle comprising a matrix light source that performs a lighting function within the motor vehicle. The same source is used, together with a photodiode, to estimate the time of flight of captured light pulses initially generated by the matrix source. It becomes possible to detect objects and/or gestures using light in the visible spectrum, and without having to use specific pulse sources dedicated for this purpose.

  • Patent number: 11378242
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light device for a motor vehicle, comprising a matrix light source having a matrix of elementary light sources with an electroluminescent semiconductor element. Each elementary light source has an emitting surface that is less than or equal to 0.2 mm2. The measures proposed by the invention allow such a matrix light source to be powered without any risk of damage due to overheating of the semiconductive junctions of the elementary light sources that make up the light source.
