The present invention relates to an illumination system for a vehicle, including at least a first projection device for projecting at least one pixelated light source defining at least a first projection envelope and at least a second projection device for projecting at least one pixelated light beam defining at least a second projection envelope and configured to project at least one pictogram, wherein at least a first projection envelope and the at least a second projection envelope have at least one area of overlap.

Illumination system for an automotive vehicle

A method for projecting at least one image, by a projection system of a motor vehicle. The method includes the following steps: detecting a disruption area, determining the position of the driver in a predefined reference frame referred to as the projection reference frame, calculating a transformation matrix for transforming an image depending on the determined position of the driver, generating the control signal, the control signal being obtained by applying said transformation matrix to at least one stored image, controlling the imaging device from the control signal so as to project a transformed image, the pictogram appearing in a vertical plane (PV) to said driver in the transformed image, and projecting the transformed image.

Method for projecting an image by a projection system of a motor vehicle, and associated projection system

The present invention relates to a lighting module for a motor vehicle headlamp module including a light source able to emit light radiation, a processing device able to generate a light flux from said light radiation, and an imaging optical system able to project an exit beam from said light flux. The lighting module includes means for controlling an angular aperture of the exit beam, the angular aperture being chosen from a first aperture and a second aperture, the first aperture corresponding to a wider angle than the second aperture, so that, for a given intensity of the light radiation of the light source, the exit beam corresponding to the second aperture has a higher light intensity than the exit beam corresponding to the first aperture.

Variable aperture beam motor vehicle headlamp lighting module

A motor-vehicle lighting system including a device for projecting a low beam into a projection zone, wherein the projecting device is configured so that the low beam includes a zone of lesser illumination located in the interior of the projection zone. A preferred application is the field of lighting equipment for motor vehicles.

Lighting system for motor vehicles

The invention concerns a signaling device adapted to display pictograms, notably for a motor vehicle. The device is configured to implement at least one signaling function of a motor vehicle. The device includes display means including a display zone intended to be disposed on the vehicle, the display means being adapted to display pictograms in the display zone, each pictogram emitting a light beam having at least in part the statutory photometric characteristics of at least one of said at least one signaling functions.

Pictogram-displaying signaling device for a motor vehicle, and signal light equipped with such a lighting device

A projection method for a motor vehicle, for projecting at least one image onto a projection surface by means of a light module suitable for projecting a light beam, wherein the projection method includes the steps of detecting an observation position of an observer in a light module reference frame, calculating the observation position of the observer in an image reference frame, and projecting the image onto the projection surface according to the observation position of the observer in the image reference frame, the image being integrated into the light beam of the light module.

Projection method for a motor vehicle, for projecting an image on to a projection surface

A method for projecting at least one image, by a projection system of a motor vehicle comprising a device for detecting an event, an estimation device capable of estimating the time taken to reach the event, a processing unit capable of generating a control signal, a projection device capable of receiving the control signal and projecting digital images, and a storage unit storing at least one image representative of a pictogram. The method includes detecting an event, estimating the time taken to reach the event, selecting at least one image representing a pictogram characteristic of the detected event, and establishing a sequence of images representing an animation of the pictogram. The sequence of images is paced depending on the time estimated in estimation, and projecting the sequence of images onto the roadway.
