Abstract
A light unit for a motor vehicle, including a row of light sources emitting light rays, a support on which the row of light sources is arranged, a primary lens having an optical axis and a first input face, and a projecting lens. The row of light sources includes light sources that can be activated individually and are aligned in a first direction. The support forms an angle α other than 90° with the optical axis. The first input face includes a planar upper portion, a planar lower portion and a connecting portion. The lower portion is offset relative to the upper portion about the optical axis. The upper portion and the lower portion are connected.

A luminous unit for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a row of light sources emitting light rays, the row of light sources including light sources aligned in a first direction, each light source of the row of light sources being individually activatable,
- a support on which the row of light sources is disposed, and
- an optical system including:
- a primary lens including an optical axis, a first entrance face and an exit face, and
- a projection lens, the light rays passing first through the primary lens and second through the projection lens,
- wherein a plane is perpendicular to the first direction and includes the optical axis, and
- wherein the support forms with the optical axis an angle different from 90°, and in that the first entrance face includes a planar upper portion, a planar lower portion and a connecting portion, the lower portion being offset relative to the upper portion along the optical axis, the upper portion and the lower portion being connected by the connecting portion.
A luminous module for an automotive vehicle, comprising a plurality of luminous units, the luminous units including a row of light sources emitting light rays, the row of light sources including light sources aligned in a first direction, each light source of the row of light sources being individually activatable, a support on which the row of light sources is disposed, and an optical system including a primary lens including an optical axis, a first entrance face and an exit face, and a projection lens, the light rays passing first through the primary lens and second through the projection lens, wherein a plane is perpendicular to the first direction and includes the optical axis, and wherein the support forms with the optical axis an angle different from 90°, and in that the first entrance face includes a planar upper portion, a planar lower portion and a connecting portion, the lower portion being offset relative to the upper portion along the optical axis, the upper portion and the lower portion being connected by the connecting portion, the luminous unit being superposed in a second direction, the luminous units sharing the same support, the second direction being perpendicular to the optical axis and to the first direction.
