Holographic automotive high mount stop lamp
First Claim
1. An automotive high mount stop lamp comprising:
- a hologram provided on a curved portion of a rear window glass, and a regenerative light source for regenerating an image to the rear of an automobile by irradiating said hologram, said regenerative light source emitting light from an opening of a body of said light source, said opening being curved along said hologram, wherein said regenerative light source emits condensing light from said opening of said body, and wherein said opening is curved parallel to said hologram.

Abstract
A hologram fitted to a rear window glass is irradiated with light from a regenerative light source to produce a holographic image to ensure the effective operation of a high mount stop lamp and to simultaneously prevent light from dazzling the driver of a following vehicle. The high mount stop lamp is provided with a hologram disposed on the inside surface of a rear automotive window glass, and a regenerative light source for regenerating the holographic image by irradiating the hologram. Part of the regenerative light source is buried in a recess in a rear parcel shelf of the automobile. A shielding wall is fitted to a part of the periphery of the regenerative light source so as, together with the rear window glass, to surround the regenerative light source to shield the light directed to the front of the automobile. The shielding wall is formed, for example, by folding up part of the decorative panel of the rear parcel shelf in the form of a wall.
