First Claim
Patent Images
1. A light module for a light device of a motor vehicle, said light module comprising:
- at least one electrical circuit branch comprising a plurality of light sources;
driving circuitry configured to supply electrical power to at least one light source of said at least one electrical circuit branch, the at least one light source being mounted as a load of said driving circuitry; and
switching circuitry supplied with electrical power independently of said driving circuitry, and the switching circuitry being configured to control, based on a received signal, emission of light from the plurality of light sources by selectively deactivating said at least one light source of said at least one electrical circuit branch, whereinsaid light module has no channel that (i) conveys signals that are based on whether said at least one light source is deactivated and (ii) directly connects said driving circuitry with said switching circuitry.

Abstract
A light module for a light device of a motor vehicle. The module according to the invention comprises driving means for the electrical power supply of at least one light source mounted as a load of the driving means and further comprises switching means capable of selectively short-circuiting at least one of the light sources of the module. The invention relates also to a method allowing for the selective short-circuiting of at least one light source of a light module according to the invention.
