  • Patent number: 11940104
    Abstract: An Illumination device includes light emitting devices and an optical system for collimating light emitted by the light emitting devices. A first group of the light emitting devices are arranged in a first array having first gaps, and a first optical system is arranged near the first group of light emitting devices. At least one second group of the light emitting devices are arranged in a second array, and the second array has second gaps. The second optical system is arranged near the second group of light emitting devices. The first and second optical systems are arranged so that, in a distance from the illumination device, light emitted by the first group of light emitting devices, collimated by the first optical system, and light emitted by the second group of light emitting devices, collimated by the second optical system, are superimposed to form a gap-free illumination field.

  • Patent number: 10895677
    Abstract: The invention describes a fiber light module comprising at least two light distribution fibers, wherein each light distribution fiber is enclosed in a corresponding fiber guiding tube, wherein the fiber guiding tubes are at least partly translucent and mechanically coupled by a stabilization structure, wherein the fiber light module further comprises a guiding structure mechanically coupled to the stabilization structure by means of a mechanical coupling interface, wherein the guiding structure is arranged to preserve a spatial arrangement of the stabilization structure along the mechanical coupling interface. The invention further describes a vehicle signaling light assembly comprising such a fiber light module and a vehicle signaling light which comprises such a vehicle signaling light assembly or fiber light module.
