A system comprising a light assembly for illumination of a vehicle design element includes a plurality of light pipes, each comprising a core; one or more light sources, each of the one or more light sources being disposed adjacent to and directed toward one or more of the plurality of the light pipes, wherein light emitted from the one or more light sources is split into reflected light that propagates within the core of one or more of the plurality of light pipes and diffuse light that exits one or more of the plurality of light pipe; and a lens having an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface, the lens including a continuous transparent and/or translucent coating on the outer surface The continuous transparent and/or translucent coating is at least partially permeable to at least some of the diffuse light which is passed through the lens. The continuous transparent and/or translucent coating comprises a metal, an alloy or a conductive metalloid, providing a chromium or chromium-based reflective coating. End portions of at least two of the plurality of light sources overlap, providing at least one region of overlap.

A light emitting system includes a light pipe, a light source disposed at least partially within an interior of the light emitting system, and configured to emit light when receiving electrical power from an electrical power source, wherein the light source is arranged adjacent to and directed towards the light pipe, a lens substantially enclosing the interior of the light emitting system, the light pipe and the light source, the lens having an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface, and a mask comprising a coating that is applied on the lens and laser etched to form a desired pattern, wherein light emitted from the light source passes through the light pipe and lens.

Light emitting system, a design element, a rear view device, a covering device, and a body component of a vehicle

The present disclosure refers to a lighting unit, in particular in form of a RGB light assembly, comprising one or more lighting segments, wherein each lighting segment comprises several light sources emitting light rays into one or more light guides merging into one light out-coupling surface for guiding the outputted light rays to a lens providing a light output. The light unit may be provided in two alternatives either the light sources directly face the lens such that light rays are guided through the light guide to pass the lens to light up a surface, or the light sources emit light rays to enter the light guide to be guided to a reflector which focuses the light rays into a light window of a mask to light up the lens in the region of the light window.
