Abstract
The invention relates to a lighting module including an upper row of light sources, an upper row of upper light guides, each of which is associated with an upper light source, a lower row of lower light sources, a lower row of lower light guides, each of which is associated with a lower light source, and a primary lens that has an optical axis and includes an exit dioptric interface. The exit dioptric interface includes an upper portion with a lower edge and a lower portion with an upper edge. The lower edge and the upper edge are connected by a connecting section. The upper edge is further forward with respect to the primary lens than the lower edge in the direction of the optical axis.
Claims14
A lighting module comprising:
- an upper row of upper light sources, light rays originating from the upper row being intended to generate a first beam, the upper light sources being aligned in a direction,
- an upper row of upper light guides each including an upper entry face and an upper exit face, the upper light guides each being separately associated with an upper light source, each upper light guide conducting light rays originating from the associated upper light source from the upper entry face to the upper exit face of the upper light guide,
- a lower row of lower light sources, light rays originating from the lower row being intended to generate a second beam, the lower light sources being aligned in the direction,
- a lower row of lower light guides each including a lower entry face and a lower exit face the lower light guides each being separately associated with a lower light source, each lower light guide conducting light rays originating from the associated lower light source from the lower entry face to the lower exit face of the lower light guide,
- a primary lens having an optical axis and configured to receive the light rays originating from the upper light sources and lower light sources, the primary lens comprising an exit dioptric interface,
- a first plane including the optical axis and being parallel to the direction and
- second planes perpendicular to the direction,
- wherein one from among the first beam and the second beam is a part high complementary high beam and
- the exit dioptric interface includes a convex upper part including a lower edge and a convex lower part comprising-including an upper the upper part being at least predominantly intended for the exit of the light rays originating from the upper row, the lower part being at least predominantly intended for the exit of the light rays originating from the lower row, the lower edge and the upper edge being joined by a connecting portion the upper edge being farther in front of the primary lens, in the direction of the optical axis, than the lower edge is, in the direction of the optical axis.
