Abstract
A luminous motor-vehicle module including in a first light source, and a first reflective surface that is configured to collect and reflect the light rays emitted by the first light source into a first light beam, a second light source and a second reflective surface that is configured to collect and reflect the light rays emitted by said second light source into a second light beam, and an optical system configured to project the first and second light beams; the first and second light sources emitting the light rays in the same direction, the first and second reflective surfaces are offset along the optical axis and the optical system is configured to form an image of the second reflective surface.

A luminous module, comprising:
- a collector having a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface, and a planar auxiliary reflective surface;
- a first light source able to emit light rays, and the first reflective surface configured to collect and reflect the light rays directly emitted by the first light source into a first light beam along an optical axis of the module;
- a second light source and the second reflective surface configured to collect and reflect the light rays directly emitted by the second light source into a second light beam along the optical axis;
- s
- the planar auxiliary reflective surface between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface and between the first light source and the second light source;
- an optical system configured to project the first and second light beams;
- wherein the first and second light sources emit the light rays in the same direction, the first and second reflective surfaces are offset along the optical axis, and the optical system is configured to form an image of the second reflective surface.
A luminous module, comprising:
- a collector having a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface, and a third reflective surface;
- a first light source able to emit light rays, and the first reflective surface configured to collect and reflect the light rays emitted by the first light source into a first light beam along an optical axis of the module;
- a second light source and the second reflective surface configured to collect and reflect the light rays emitted by the second light source into a second light beam along the optical axis;
- a third light source able to emit light rays, and the third reflective surface adjacent to, and in front of, the second reflective surface, the third surface being configured to collect and reflect the light rays emitted by the third light source into a third light beam along the optical axis, with the first reflective surface, the second reflective surface, and the third reflective surface being parts of a continuous surface;
- an optical system configured to project the first and second light beams;
- wherein the first and second light sources emit the light rays in the same direction, the first and second reflective surfaces are offset along the optical axis, and the optical system is configured to form an image of the second reflective surface.
