A light system comprising: a lens comprising: body portion and a waterfall portion that extends at an angle relative to the body portion so that the waterfall portion is exposed when the light system is installed in a vehicle, wherein the lens comprises a material of a first deposition and a material of a second deposition and the material of the first deposition exhibits one or more different characteristics than the material of the second deposition; a display mechanism located adjacent to the body portion, the waterfall portion, or both; and one or more light sources that direct light through the display mechanism and the lens so that when the one or more light sources are illuminated the display mechanism is visible through the lens.

Light system with a thick lens having a body portion, waterfall portion, and display mechanism

The present invention pertains to a luminous device of an automotive vehicle. The luminous device is configured to produce homogenous lit appearances when using multiple light sources. The luminous device comprises at least one light source for producing a light beam associated with a photometric function. Further, the at least one light source is encapsulated within an encapsulating material. The luminous device further comprises at least one optical element configured to produce said photometric function, wherein the at least one optical element is arranged juxtapose with said encapsulated light source and is configured to receive said light beam to perform at least one said photometric function of the luminance device.
