Abstract
The present invention relates to a light emitting device having an optical part. The optical part comprises at least a first portion comprising a first light input face for receiving first light rays from a first light source and transmitting the first light rays directly toward a light output face so that the light exits the optical part. The optical part further comprises a second light input face for receiving second light rays light from a second light source and transmitting the second light rays toward said light output face so that they are reflected at least one time by total internal reflection on a first zone of said light output face before exiting the optical part through a second zone of said light output face.
Claims16
An optical part for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- at least a first portion comprising a first light input face for receiving first light rays from a first light source and transmitting the first light rays directly toward a light output face so that the light exits the optical part;
- and
- at least a second portion comprising a second light input face for receiving second light rays light from a second light source and transmitting the second light rays toward said light output face so that they are reflected at least one time by total internal reflection on a first zone of said light output face before exiting the optical part through a second zone of said light output face.
(canceled)
A light emitting module comprising:
- an optical part with a plurality of first portions comprising each a first light input face for receiving first light rays and transmitting the first light rays directly toward a light output face so that the light exits the optical part and a plurality of second portions comprising each a second light input face for receiving second light rays light and transmitting the second light rays toward said light output face so that they are reflected at least one time by total internal reflection on a first zone of said light output face before exiting the optical part through a second zone of said light output face;
- a plurality of first light sources each opposite an associated first light input face of a first portion;
- and
- a plurality of second light sources each opposite an associated second light input face of a second portion;
- with each first light input face associated to a first light source and each second light input face is associated to a second light source.
A light emitting device comprising:
- a housing comporting a front opening;
- at least one light emitting module according to placed in the housing, the at least one light emitting module comprising:
- at least a first portion comprising a first light input face for receiving first light rays from a first light source and transmitting the first light rays directly toward a light output face so that the light exits the optical part;
- and
- at least a second portion comprising a second light input face for receiving second light rays light from a second light source and transmitting the second light rays toward said light output face so that they are reflected at least one time by total internal reflection on a first zone of said light output face before exiting the optical part through a second zone of said light output face.
