LIGHTING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18196315 titled 'LIGHTING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation:

This patent application describes a lighting apparatus for vehicles that creates a unique and aesthetically pleasing image of an electrified vehicle. The apparatus includes a light source, a light guide plate to diffuse the light, and a lens cover to transmit and emit the light forwards. Irregularities on the internal surface of the lens cover create thickness differences to enhance the light emission.

  • The lighting apparatus for vehicles includes a light source, a light guide plate, and a lens cover with irregularities on the internal surface.
  • The irregularities on the lens cover create thickness differences to improve the light emission.
  • The apparatus is designed to provide a unique and beautiful image of an electrified vehicle.
  • The light emitted by the light source is diffused by the light guide plate before being transmitted and emitted forwards by the lens cover.
  • The irregularities on the lens cover enhance the aesthetic sensibility of the lighting apparatus.

Potential Applications: The technology can be used in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, to enhance their visual appeal and create a distinctive lighting effect.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for innovative lighting solutions in the automotive industry that not only provide functionality but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of vehicles.

Benefits: - Creates a unique and beautiful image of an electrified vehicle - Enhances the aesthetic sensibility of the vehicle - Improves visibility and safety on the road - Provides a customizable lighting solution for vehicle manufacturers

Commercial Applications: The technology can be used by automotive manufacturers to differentiate their vehicles in the market, attract customers looking for innovative design features, and enhance the overall brand image.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the irregularity on the lens cover improve the light emission? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this lighting apparatus in vehicles?


Original Abstract Submitted

A lighting apparatus for vehicles which may provide a unique and beautiful image of an electrified vehicle and aesthetic sensibility, and a method of manufacturing the same, include a light source configured to emit light, a light guide plate configured to diffuse the light emitted by the light source, and a lens cover configured to transmit the light diffused by the light guide plate and to emit the light forwards of the light cover, and irregularities configured to form thickness differences of the lens cover depending on a position on the lens cover or a portion of the lens cover are formed on an internal surface of the lens cover configured so that light having passed through the light guide plate is incident thereupon.
