The patent US12066159B2 describes a vehicle lamp that integrates multiple light sources and a sophisticated projection lens system to enhance lighting performance. The lamp features a first light source and a second light source positioned adjacent to each other, both emitting light in the same direction. A projection lens is designed to project the emitted light from both sources, comprising two lens bodies: the first lens body has an incidence part facing the first light source and an emission part on the opposite side, while the second lens body has an incidence part for the second light source and a third incidence part positioned between the first and second incidence parts. The lens bodies are structured to abut each other, with boundary surfaces arranged at an acute angle, facilitating the reflection and emission of light through the lens system.

Further claims detail the optical properties and configurations of the lens bodies. Notably, the refractive index of the second lens body is specified to be lower than that of the first lens body, potentially enhancing light transmission. The design includes an intermediate layer between the lens bodies, and the emission part is equipped with a lens surface that condenses light in specific directions. Additional features include a third lens body that further condenses the emitted light and the possibility of integrating the light sources on a single board. The lamp is engineered to create distinct light distribution patterns, with the first light forming a cutoff line and the second and third lights creating additional patterns above it, thereby optimizing visibility and safety for vehicle operation.
