Patent ID: 8096690

Claim:
A motor vehicle light module for emitting a beam along a main direction outside a motor vehicle after the motor vehicle light module is mounted on the motor vehicle, said motor vehicle light module comprising: a light source for generating the beam; a luminous flux recovery mirror made up of a set of reflecting tiles for reflecting light from said light source, each of said reflecting tiles being formed of a conical segment comprising a first focal point and a second focal point, said first focal point being focused on said light source and said second focal point being focused, with respect to said reflecting tile, in a specific direction in reference to said main direction, each of said reflecting tiles forming an image of said light source that is visible outside the vehicle, insofar as parameters of said conical segments with said first and second focal points containing said reflecting tiles are adjusted to confer upon said second focal points pre-determined photometric characteristics, and in that images of said light source are directly visible from outside the motor vehicle; wherein a size of said plurality of said reflecting tiles increases as a distance from said light source increases so that images reflected from said plurality of said plurality of reflecting tiles all comprise generally similar intensities; each of said reflecting tiles forming said images of said light source that are visible outside the motor vehicle with said images of said light source causing said motor vehicle light module to appear to have multiple visible light sources when viewed from outside the motor vehicle after the motor vehicle light module is mounted on the motor vehicle.
