Abstract: Lit image projection devices and lamp assemblies containing the same for generation of three dimensional images. A projection device of the present disclosure comprises one or more light sources, a rippled substrate defining a reflective surface, the reflective surface configured to reflect light source light from the one or more light sources as reflected light, and a first lenticular lens configured to receive the reflected light from the reflective surface, wherein the reflected light received by the first lenticular lens generates a three-dimensional lit image.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp heat dissipation system includes a heat pipe, a heat sink having a slot adapted to receive the heat pipe, and a light-emitting diode (LED) mounted directly to the heat pipe. The heat pipe is disposed in the slot such that heat is transferred from the LED to the heat sink via the heat pipe for effectively cooling the LED.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hybrid material panel assembly for a vehicle. The panel assembly includes a panel and a plurality of mounting flanges integrally formed with the panel. The panel is formed of a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The plurality of mounting flanges are formed of a second material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion, where each of the plurality of mounting flanges include a mounting area that defines a mounting surface and at least one mounting hole. The first coefficient of thermal expansion is greater than the second coefficient of thermal expansion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for making a vehicle lamp have an overall solid occluded appearance when the lamp is inactive, and allowing for the passage and optional filtering of light when the lamp is on. A light modifier is created that has optical elements on an inside surface, and an opaque or translucent covering on an opposite side of the modifier. The optical elements and corresponding apertures are aligned with each other and diversely configured.

Abstract: A segmented switchable mirror vehicle headlamp includes a light source, a switchable electrochemical film having a plurality of segments, and a controller electrically coupled with each segment of the plurality of segments, such that each segment of the plurality of segments is individually controllable for switching between a substantially transparent state and a substantially reflective state. The plurality of segments include a low-beam array of segments configured for providing a low-beam light distribution from the light source, and a high-beam array of segments configured for providing a high-beam light distribution from the light source. The controller is configured for switching the low-beam array of segments and the high-beam array of segments between the substantially transparent state and the substantially reflective state for controlling the low-beam light distribution and the high-beam light distribution, respectively.
