[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0045] This application provides an exemplary embodiment of a vehicle lighting assembly 100. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the vehicle lighting assembly 100 includes a light source 13 and a vehicle lighting decorative structure 10.

[0046] Light source 13 is configured to emit light. The light may include at least one of visible light and invisible light. Visible light may include at least one of red light, green light, blue light, yellow light, and cyan light. Invisible light may include at least one of ultraviolet light and infrared light. In one exemplary embodiment, the light includes visible light to meet the illumination requirements of light source 13.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the light source 13 includes multiple point light sources 131, which are arranged in a matrix to simplify the manufacturing process of the light source 13.

[0048] In some embodiments, the light emitted by the multiple point light sources 131 may be identical to reduce the cost of the light source 13. In one exemplary embodiment, the multiple point light sources 131 all emit white light.

[0049] In other embodiments, the light emitted by at least two point light sources 131 may be of different colors to enrich the light emission effect of the light source 13. In another exemplary embodiment, the two point light sources 131 may emit white light and red light respectively, but are not limited thereto.

[0050] In some embodiments, a point light source 131 may include one or more light-emitting units.

[0051] In one exemplary embodiment, a point light source 131 includes a plurality of light-emitting units. The plurality of light-emitting units includes a first light-emitting unit, a second light-emitting unit, and a third light-emitting unit. The light emitted by the first light-emitting unit, the second light-emitting unit, and the third light-emitting unit is of a different color.

[0052] In one exemplary embodiment, the first light-emitting unit, the second light-emitting unit, and the third light-emitting unit emit red light, blue light, and green light, respectively. The red light, blue light, and green light are mixed to form white light, causing the point light source 131 to emit white light.

[0053] In some embodiments, the point light source 131 may include a light-emitting diode (LED) or the like.

[0054] In some embodiments, the luminous intensity of each point light source 131 can be varied to enhance the luminous efficacy diversity of the light source 13.

[0055] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle headlight assembly 100 may also include a circuit board 15. The light source 13 is fixed on the circuit board 15, and the circuit board 15 may be provided with a driving circuit (not shown in the figure) connected to the light source 13 to drive the light source 13 to emit light.

[0056] In some embodiments, the headlight assembly 100 may further include a headlight controller (not shown). The headlight controller may be connected to the driving circuit of the light source 13 to control the light source 13 to emit light. In some embodiments, when the light source 13 includes a plurality of point light sources 131, the headlight controller periodically controls the illumination of the plurality of point light sources 131. In each cycle, the illumination of the plurality of point light sources 131 is controlled sequentially, that is, the plurality of point light sources 131 are illuminated in turn, thereby improving the luminous efficacy diversity of the light source 13.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the headlight decorative structure 10 includes a light-transmitting pattern layer 11. The light-transmitting pattern layer 11 provides a pattern that decorates the headlight and enhances the visibility of the headlight assembly 100. The light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is located in the light-emitting path of the light source 13. The light emitted by the light source 13 illuminates the pattern on the light-transmitting pattern layer 11, giving the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 a visual appearance and thus providing an aesthetically pleasing visual effect.

[0058] It should be noted that in one related technology, the headlight assembly does not include the aforementioned light-transmitting pattern layer, resulting in the headlight assembly failing to display a visual effect when emitting light. In another related technology, using high-resolution pixels to achieve the image display effect leads to greater power consumption and higher costs for the headlight assembly. In the exemplary embodiment of this application, the light source 13, combined with the light-transmitting pattern layer 11, provides an aesthetically pleasing visual effect while also reducing the power consumption and cost of the light source 13.

[0059] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may include at least one of text, numbers, and images.

[0060] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may include at least one of a colored pattern, a black pattern, and a white pattern.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, the translucent pattern layer 11 may include colored patterns. The colored patterns include patterns of various colors, so that the translucent pattern layer 11 presents an aesthetically pleasing colored image.

[0062] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 includes an ink layer 111. Thus, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 can be formed using an ink printing process, simplifying the manufacturing process of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11. The ink layer 111 includes a matrix material and a pigment. The matrix material may include at least one of photocurable organic materials, thermocurable organic materials, and thermoplastic organic materials. The pigment may include at least one of organic dyes and inorganic pigments.

[0063] In some embodiments, ink layer 111 may include UV-curable ink. The UV-curable ink is formed by forming an initial ink layer using a printing process, followed by irradiating the initial ink with ultraviolet light, and the initial ink is cured to become ink layer 111.

[0064] In some embodiments, the translucent pattern layer 11 can be a full-color printed UV-cured pattern 112, meaning the translucent pattern layer 11 is formed using full-color printed UV-cured ink. Compared to traditional UV inks, the translucent pattern layer 11 prepared by the full-color printed UV-cured ink process, in conjunction with the light emitted by the light source 13, ensures a richer visual effect. Furthermore, compared to traditional UV inks, the full-color printed UV-cured pattern 112 has better corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, water resistance, and high and low temperature resistance, meeting the requirements for automotive logo exterior decoration.

[0065] In some embodiments, the thickness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is 10 micrometers to 1 millimeter. This provides a suitable thickness for the light-transmitting pattern layer 11, reducing the difficulty of its formation while ensuring its performance characteristics, such as abrasion resistance and light transmittance. Optionally, the thickness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 can be 30 micrometers to 800 micrometers, 50 micrometers to 600 micrometers, or 100 micrometers to 400 micrometers.

[0066] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 includes at least two regions with different thicknesses. Thus, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 has different transmittances of light emitted from the light source 13 in the at least two regions with different thicknesses, resulting in different levels of brightness in the at least two different regions, thereby ensuring that the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 presents diverse visual effects. Furthermore, the fact that the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 includes at least two regions with different thicknesses gives it a three-dimensional tactile depth.

[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least two regions with different thicknesses include a first region 11A and a second region 11B. The thickness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the first region 11A is less than the thickness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the second region 11B.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first region 11A and the second region 11B can be adjacent to each other to present different levels of brightness in adjacent regions.

[0069] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the first region 11A can be larger than the area of ​​the second region 11B, ensuring that the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 presents a three-dimensional tactile sense of layering and diverse visual effects, while also ensuring the lighting effect of the vehicle headlight assembly 100.

[0070] In other embodiments, the first region 11A and the second region 11B may be spaced apart from each other.

[0071] It is understandable that the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may also include three or more regions of different thicknesses. The thickness of each region is designed based on the light transmittance and the complexity of the manufacturing process. The difference in thickness between different regions can be designed based on the differences in transmittance among multiple local areas.

[0072] It should be noted that the differentiated design of the thickness of the translucent pattern layer 11 can be achieved by controlling the ink printing process.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, when the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 includes at least two regions with different thicknesses, the headlight assembly 100 may also include a transparent planarization layer 16. The transparent planarization layer 16 is located on the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 to planarize the light-transmitting pattern layer 11, while also ensuring the light transmittance of the light source 13.

[0074] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may include at least two regions with different light transmittances. Thus, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 has different transmittances of light emitted by the light source 13 in at least two different regions, causing the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 to exhibit different levels of brightness in at least two different regions, thereby ensuring that the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 presents a variety of visual effects.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least two regions with different transmittances include a first region 11A and a second region 11B. The transmittance of the light emitted by the light source 13 is different between the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 of the first region 11A and the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 of the second region 11B.

[0076] In some embodiments, the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the first region 11A to the light emitted by the light source 13 is greater than the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the second region 11B to the light emitted by the light source 13.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 of the first region 11A to the light emitted by the light source 13 is greater than the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 of the second region 11B to the light emitted by the light source 13, the second region 11B is disposed around at least a portion of the first region 11A to improve the recognizability of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 of the first region 11A.

[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, when the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the first region 11A to the light emitted by the light source 13 is greater than that in the second region 11B to the light emitted by the light source 13, the first region 11A is located in the middle of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11, so as to improve the recognizability of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the first region 11A.

[0079] In some embodiments, the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 to the light emitted by the light source 13 is greater than or equal to 10%. Thus, while the light emitted by the light source 13 illuminates the light-transmitting pattern layer 11, the light passing through the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 also provides some degree of illumination. Optionally, the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 to the light emitted by the light source 13 may be greater than or equal to 15%.

[0080] It is understandable that the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may also include three or more regions with different light transmittance. The light transmittance of each region can be designed according to the brightness of the image presented in that local region, and the difference in light transmittance between different regions can be designed according to the brightness levels of the image presented in multiple local regions.

[0081] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 includes at least two regions with different hardnesses. This allows for differentiated design of the hardness of the light-transmitting pattern in different regions, better protecting key patterns within the light-transmitting pattern. For example, the portion of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 that presents key information can have a higher hardness.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, at least two regions with different hardnesses include a third region 11C and a fourth region 11D. The hardness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the third region 11C is different from the hardness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the fourth region 11D.

[0083] In some embodiments, the hardness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the third region 11C is greater than the hardness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 in the fourth region 11D.

[0084] The number of light-transmitting pattern layers 11 can be one or more. When the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 includes an ink layer 111, each light-transmitting pattern layer is an ink layer.

[0085] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the number of light-transmitting pattern layers 11 is one, which simplifies the formation process of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11.

[0086] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2As shown, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may include a first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 and a second light-transmitting pattern layer 114. The second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 is located on the side of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 that faces away from the light source 13. The second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 is different from the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113. While the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 and the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 jointly present the image under the action of the light emitted by the light source 13, the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 and the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 can also play other roles to further improve the performance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11.

[0087] In some embodiments, the transmittance of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 to the light emitted by the light source 13 may be different from the transmittance of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 to the light emitted by the light source 13, so as to flexibly adjust the transmittance of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 to the light emitted by the light source 13. In an exemplary embodiment, the transmittance of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 to the light emitted by the light source 13 is greater than the transmittance of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 to the light emitted by the light source 13.

[0088] It should be noted that the differentiated design of the transmittance of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 and the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 can be achieved by controlling the thickness of both.

[0089] In some embodiments, the hardness of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 may differ from that of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 to flexibly adjust the hardness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11. In an exemplary embodiment, the hardness of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 may be greater than that of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113. Thus, while the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 and the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 jointly present the image under the light emitted by the light source 13, the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 also enhances abrasion resistance, helping to prevent damage to the pattern and colors.

[0090] It should be noted that the differentiated design of the hardness of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 and the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 can be achieved by controlling the UV curing time, the type of UV curing ink, and the thickness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11.

[0091] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 may differ from the thickness of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113. While providing visual appeal, the thinner of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114 and the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 also increases the transmittance of light emitted from the light source 13. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the first light-transmitting pattern layer 113 is greater than the thickness of the second light-transmitting pattern layer 114.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second translucent pattern layer 114 and the first translucent pattern layer 113 may each include pigments of different mass percentages to adjust the overall color saturation of the translucent pattern layer 11.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, the mass percentage of pigment in the second translucent pattern layer 114 is greater than the mass percentage of pigment in the first translucent pattern layer 113, thereby increasing the color saturation of the second translucent pattern layer 114 located on the outer side, and thus the overall color saturation of the translucent pattern layer 11.

[0094] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the headlight decorative structure 10 also includes a light-transmitting carrier 12. The light-transmitting carrier 12 is located in the light-emitting path of the light source 13. The light-transmitting carrier 12 is configured to allow light emitted from the light source 13 to pass through. A light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is located on the light-transmitting carrier 12. The light-transmitting carrier 12 supports the light-transmitting pattern layer 11. The light-transmitting pattern layer 11 can be formed on the light-transmitting carrier 12.

[0095] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting carrier 12 is located on the light-emitting side of the light source 13. For example, the light-transmitting carrier 12 may be located above the light source 13.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the light-transmitting support 12 is located on the light-emitting side of the light source 13, at least one light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may be located on the surface of the light-transmitting support 12 near the light source 13, and / or, at least one light-transmitting pattern layer 11 may be located on the surface of the light-transmitting support 12 away from the light source 13. Wherein, when at least one light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is located on the surface of the light-transmitting support 12 near the light source 13, the light-transmitting support 12 not only supports the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 but also protects it. When at least one light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is located on the surface of the light-transmitting support 12 away from the light source 13, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 can better present the image quality.

[0097] In one exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 can be located on the surface of the light-transmitting carrier 12 that is away from the light source 13.

[0098] In some embodiments, the thickness of the light-transmitting carrier 12 is greater than the thickness of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11. The greater thickness of the light-transmitting carrier 12 improves its mechanical properties.

[0099] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting carrier 12 may be transparent to increase its transmittance of light emitted by the light source 13.

[0100] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the light-transmitting support 12 may include a light-transmitting rigid support 121 to ensure that the light-transmitting support 12 can provide sufficient mechanical strength. The light-transmitting rigid support 121 may include a transparent rigid plastic. The transparent rigid plastic may include plastics such as polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

[0101] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting rigid carrier 121 can be an outer cover of the vehicle lamp, but is not limited thereto. When the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is disposed on the outer cover of the vehicle lamp, the inner cover of the vehicle lamp can be omitted, simplifying the forming process of the vehicle lamp assembly.

[0102] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the light-transmitting carrier 12 may further include a light-transmitting flexible carrier 122. The hardness of the light-transmitting rigid carrier 121 is greater than that of the light-transmitting flexible carrier 122. The light-transmitting flexible carrier 122 is located between the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 and the light-transmitting rigid carrier 121. After the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is formed on the light-transmitting flexible carrier 122, the light-transmitting flexible carrier 122 is then attached to the harder light-transmitting rigid carrier 121, reducing the difficulty of forming the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 when the light-transmitting rigid carrier 121 has a curved or other irregular structure.

[0103] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting flexible support 122 may include a flexible film. The flexible film includes, but is not limited to, at least one of polyvinyl chloride film and polyethylene film.

[0104] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting rigid carrier 121 may include a flat plate portion to simplify its manufacturing. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting rigid carrier 121 may include a curved portion to enhance the pattern display effect of the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 located thereon.

[0105] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle light assembly 100 may also include a fastener 14. The fastener 14 is connected to the light-transmitting carrier 12 to fix the light-transmitting carrier 12. The fastener 14 can fix the light-transmitting carrier 12 to other structures of the vehicle 300, thereby fixing the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 located on the light-transmitting carrier 12 to the vehicle 300.

[0106] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting pattern layer 11 is also located on the fastener 14. The light-transmitting pattern layer 11 serves to shield and beautify the fastener 14, enhance the integration of the fastener 14 and the light-transmitting carrier 12, and increase the coverage area of ​​the light-transmitting pattern layer 11.

[0107] In some embodiments, the fastener 14 and the light-transmitting carrier 12 can be an integral structure, that is, they can be molded together, simplifying the manufacturing process of the vehicle lamp assembly 100. When the fastener 14 and the light-transmitting carrier 12 are an integral structure, the fastener 14 may include organic materials.

[0108] In some embodiments, the fastener 14 and the light-transmitting support 12 can also be detachably connected to facilitate flexible disassembly of the light-transmitting support 12. The detachable connection can be achieved through a snap-fit ​​structure and a mating structure of bolts and threaded holes.

[0109] In some embodiments, the fastener 14 may include a detachable connection structure. The detachable connection structure may include a snap-fit ​​portion and a threaded hole. The snap-fit ​​portion may include at least one of a retaining ring, a retaining groove, and a retaining claw. In an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part may include a snap-fit ​​slot.

[0110] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 As shown, multiple fasteners 14 are arranged along the edge of the light-transmitting carrier 12 to fix the entire light-transmitting carrier 12 to the vehicle 300.

[0111] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle lighting system 200. (Refer to...) Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle lighting system 200 includes the aforementioned vehicle lighting assembly 100, and / or the aforementioned vehicle lighting decorative structure 10.

[0112] The vehicle lighting system 200 includes a front lighting system and a rear lighting system. At least one of the lighting assembly 100 and the lighting trim structure 10 can be applied to at least one of the front lighting system and the rear lighting system to enhance the visual effect of the vehicle lighting system.
