Optical device, in particular for a motor vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An optical device for automobile vehicles, notably a signaling and/or lighting device, said optical device comprising:
- at least one surface-emitting light source; and
a plurality of lenses distant from said at least one surface-emitting light source, disposed at least partially on a path of the light (R) emitted by said at least one surface-emitting light source so as to produce an image of an object area of said at least one surface-emitting light source, said at least one surface-emitting light source having said object area being substantially polygonal and of a size and dimension to provide light to each of said plurality of lenses;
wherein a light emitting area of said at least one surface-emitting light source is greater than 1 cm2;
wherein said at least one surface-emitting light source is an organic light-emitting diode that emits a substantially even distribution of light in a beam;
wherein each of said plurality of lenses is adapted to receive;
at least a portion of said substantially even distribution of light and increase a luminous intensity in a predetermined region of at least a portion of said beam.

Abstract
An optical device for automobile vehicles, notably a signalling and/or lighting device. The device comprises at least one surface-emitting light source, at least one lens, notably distant from the surface-emitting light source, disposed at least partially on the path of the light (R) emitted by the surface-emitting light source so as to produce an image of an object area of the surface-emitting light source.
