Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3270044A1] An automotive lighting unit (1) comprising a lighting assembly (5) capable of backlighting a transparent or semi-transparent portion (3a) of the front half-shell (3); the lighting assembly (5) comprising: a platelike light-guide body (6) made of photoconductive material, which is arranged inside the rear casing (2) with its front sidewall (7) facing said transparent or semi-transparent portion (3a), and with its rear side (8) facing the rear casing (2); and a series of LED diodes (10) which are spaced one side-by-side the other along a reference line that substantially follows the shape of the rear sidewall (8) of the platelike light-guide body (6), which face the rear sidewall (8) so as to direct the light towards the rear sidewall (8), and which are spaced from the rear sidewall (8) of the platelike light-guide body (6) so that the intersection line (f) of the light cones (C) emitted by the LED diodes (10) is located between the rear sidewall (8) of the platelike light-guide body (6) and the same LED diodes (10).
