Abstract
The invention relates to an optical element having a plurality of projection lenses (4) and at least one housing (2). in which the projection lenses (4) are accommodated. The projection lenses (4) are connected to the housing (2) by overmolding the projection lenses (4) during the production of the housing 2 by means of an injection molding method. Furthermore. the invention relates to a projection module having the optical element, to a vehicle having the optical element and to a method for producing the optical element.
Claims14
An optical element comprising:
- projection optics including a plurality of projection lenses;
- and
- at least one housing in which the projection lenses are accommodated,
- wherein the projection lenses are connected to the housing by overmolding, wherein the housing has at least one diaphragm for influencing a light which can radiate through the plurality of projection lenses, wherein the diaphragm is integrally formed with the housing and arranged between the projection optics, and wherein the projection optics are recessed into the diaphragm so that the diaphragm at least partially protrudes beyond the projection optics in a direction in which the light can radiate through the projection optics such that stray light is avoided between the projection optics on an out-coupling side.
