    摘要: Lighting panels and methods of manufacturing lighting panels are described. An example lighting panel includes a substrate that has a planar surface, electrically conductive traces printed onto the planar surface of the substrate, and light sources mounted onto the electrically conductive traces at mounting positions such that the electrically conductive traces form an electrical interconnection between selected ones of the electrically conductive traces and associated ones of the light sources. The lighting panel also includes a polymer sheet provided over the light sources, and a composite base upon which a stack-up of the substrate with the printed electrically conductive traces, the light sources, and the polymer sheet is applied. The light sources are embedded into the composite base and are also flush with a top surface of the stack-up, and the substrate is also embedded into the composite base underneath the light sources at the mounting positions.

    摘要: A vehicle, a vehicle light system, a light projection apparatus for implementation in the vehicle light system, a computer-implemented method of operating a vehicle, and a computer program product for operating a vehicle. The light projection apparatus is controlled to generate one or more projections of a graphical image, pattern, text, symbol, character, geometric shape, indicia, or combinations thereof on a target roadway surface (e.g., projection surface, road surface, etc.) to visually indicate an intended or actual implementation of a vehicle maneuver (e.g., change of lane and/or left or right turn) and/or an intended actuation of the vehicle braking. The one or more projection(s) would be supplemental to the use of forward and rear turn signal light indicators.

    摘要: A lighting module disclosed in an embodiment comprises: a plurality of light emitting devices on a substrate; and a reflector arranged in the direction of emission of light from each light emitting device on the substrate. The light emitting device has a light exit surface, and the reflector has a reflecting surface concave toward the substrate, at least a portion of the reflecting surface corresponding to the light exit surface of the light emitting device. The reflecting surface is arranged at a height that increases gradually in proportion to the interval from the light emitting device arranged in the light incident direction. The reflecting surface comprises a plurality of convex portions arranged in a first direction and first bridge portions that connect between the plurality of convex portions. The first bridge portions are arranged along the convex portions and are arranged to be lower than a straight line that connect high points of adjacent convex portions. The convex portions and the first bridge portions have the same length in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, and the area of the convex portions may be larger than the area of the first bridge portions.

    摘要: A system for signaling vehicle deceleration having an acceleration sensor, processor, lamp controller, power supply, mount, and lamp. The acceleration sensor gathers acceleration data of the vehicle, and the processor interprets the acceleration data gathered. If, based on that data, the processor determines that the vehicle is decelerating beyond a preset threshold, the processor powers the lamp via the lamp controller. The system adjusts for various orientations and positions of installment.

    摘要: Methods for reducing road surface glare from an automotive headlight for an observer not viewing through a polarizing filter are described. The use of a reflective polarizer for reducing road surface glare from an automotive headlight for an observer not viewing through a polarizing filter are also described. A low-beam headlight including a light source, a housing, and a reflective polarizer is also described. The reflective polarizer has a pass axis and the pass axis forms an angle with a road surface between 45 degrees and 135 degrees.

    摘要: Provided is a vehicle headlamp which is capable of forming a light distribution pattern with a high degree of flexibility in shape. A vehicle headlamp includes an excitation light source, a phosphor, a scanning mechanism which includes a reflecting mirror configured to be swingable and which is configured to receive light emitted from the excitation light source on a reflecting surface of the reflecting mirror to scan light reflected on the reflecting surface toward the phosphor, a projection lens which is configured to transmit therethrough light emitted from the phosphor to form a light distribution pattern, and a condensing lens which is configured to condense the light emitted from the excitation light source onto the reflecting surface.
