Abstract:
1. A lighting or indicator device, in particular for motor vehicles, comprising at least two modules each associated with a light source, each module comprising an input optical system comprising a collimating element receiving light rays emitted by said light source and transmitting a beam of parallel rays to an output optical system to form a lighting or indicator light beam, the input optical system and the output optical system being of a single integral one-piece construction, at least one reflecting surface being located in the path of the beam of parallel rays, the light sources being located on the same planar electrical power circuit, the output optical systems being located in different planes, wherein the planes in which the output optical systems are located form an angle which is not zero with the plane of the electrical power circuit, each of said optical output systems comprising at least one lens unit comprising a complex surface, said complex surface receiving generally parallel light rays and causing said light rays to diffuse away from an axis of said light source when they exit said at least one unit.
