SIDE FACE IRRADIATION NEAR FIELD LENS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automotive light module having a near field lens collecting and directing light from a light source such as a light emitting diode.

SOLUTION: A near field lens for an automotive light assembly has a reduced thickness. Generally, the near field lens includes a main body of light transmitting material. A pocket is formed in the main body for receiving light from the light source. The pocket is defined by an inner radially facing surface and an inner axially facing surface. The inner radially facing surface is structured to reduce the thickness of the lens.
