In some embodiments, light sources 11, 22, and 33 may be disposed on the same substrate. In some embodiments, at least some of light sources 11, 22, and 33 are disposed on the same substrate.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the substrate 2 is disposed adjacent to the substrate 1, and the light source 11 and the light source 22 respectively disposed on the substrate 1 and the substrate 2 are optically isolated from each other in the lamp system 20. In some embodiments, light isolation between light source 11 and light source 22 may be provided by a shielding member, which may be formed as a single member or may be formed by a protrusion on either the substrate (1 or 2) or the fixture structure. Therefore, the light beams between the light sources 11 and 22 disposed on the substrates 1 and 2 do not interfere with each other.

In one embodiment, the substrate 3, the optical element 333 and the light source 33 of the lamp system 20 have a configuration similar to the substrate 1, the optical element 111 and the light source 11, so that the light for illumination and indication can be provided by the light source 11 and the light source 33 symmetrically to the substrate 2.
In some embodiments, in the lamp system 20, the light sources 22 and 33 respectively disposed on the substrate 2 and the substrate 3 are optically isolated from each other in the lamp system 20, so that light beams between the light sources 22 and 33 disposed on the substrate 2 and the substrate 3 do not interfere with each other. In one embodiment, a baffle plate 52 is disposed between the substrate 2 and the substrate 3, and the baffle plate 52 is used to isolate the light generated by the light sources 22 and 33 disposed on the substrate 3 and the substrate 2.
In some embodiments, in the lamp system 20, the optical element 4 may have a single color, and the optical element 4 covers the light source 11, the optical element 111, the light source 22, the substrate 2, the light source 33, and the optical element 333 together. The monochromatic optical element 4 is easy to manufacture and low in cost, so that the lamp system 20 can emit light rays with different chromaticity coordinates with a low cost and a simple structure. In addition, the monochromatic optical element 4 is more beautiful, so that the overall texture and the beauty of the lamp system 20 can be improved. In one embodiment, the substrate 2 and the light source 22 are disposed at the position of the center line in the rear view of the vehicle, the combination of the substrate 1 and the optical element 111 and the combination of the substrate 3 and the optical element 333 are disposed on the left side and the right side of the substrate 2 and the light source 22, respectively, and the optical element 4 covers the optical element 111, the substrate 2 and the optical element 333 in the rear view of the vehicle.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a lamp device 10 according to an embodiment of the invention, and fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of fig. 3. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the optical element 111 is used to make the light of the light source 11 converge toward the irradiation direction as much as possible, thereby improving the brightness of the light projected toward the irradiation direction. The optical element 111 includes an incident surface 1111, an emergent surface 1112, and a lateral surface 1113. In some embodiments, the optical element 111 is gradually enlarged from the light incident surface 1111 to the light emitting surface 1112. The light incident surface 1111 is concave or spherical (but the invention is not limited thereto), so as to refract the incident light from the light source 11 and make the light go to the light emitting surface 1112 as far as possible. The light emitting surface 1112 may have a planar shape (but the invention is not limited thereto). The side surface 1113 can reflect the light rays with large lateral angles after entering the light incident surface 1111 toward the light emitting surface 1112. Side 1113 may function like a mirror. As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, the side surface 1113 of the optical element 111 is formed in a manner of gradually increasing from the light incident surface 1111 to the light emitting surface 1112. In some embodiments, side 1113 is tapered. In some embodiments, side 1113 is curved. In some embodiments, side 1113 is parabolic. In some embodiments, side 1113 is ellipsoidal. The light incident surface 1111 is concave or spherical, and the side surface 1113 can reflect the light rays with large lateral angles after entering the light incident surface 1111 toward the light emitting surface 1112, so that the optical element 111 can converge the light emitted from the light source 11, thereby increasing the brightness of the light source 11 irradiating in a desired direction. Although the optical element 111 is described in this paragraph, in some embodiments, the above description is also applicable to the optical element 333.
As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, optical element 111 may be integrally formed by injection molding by mixing a transparent plastic with a green colorant. When light passes through the optical element 111, the colorant causes scattering of the light and shifts the color of the light, thereby generating light of a different color from the light emitted by the light source 11. Although the optical element 111 is taken as an example for the present embodiment, in some embodiments, the above description is also applied to the optical element 333.
Referring to FIG. 2, in one embodiment, for example, a white LED light source device capable of generating white light is used as the light sources 11 and 33 of the present invention, the white light is shifted to green light by the green optical elements 111 and 333, and the green light is mixed or shifted to amber, orange or yellow in accordance with vehicle regulations in the chromaticity coordinates within the ranges of the green boundary y ≦ x-0.120, the red boundary y ≧ 0.390, and the white boundary y ≧ 0.790-0.670x by the red optical element 4.

In one embodiment, amber, orange or yellow according to the vehicle regulations can be achieved by only passing the light source 11, 33 with a specific color light through the optical element 4.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, for example, a green LED light source device capable of generating green light can be used as the light source 11 and the light source 33 of the present invention instead of the green optical element 111 and the optical element 333 to shift the white light to green light in the embodiment 1, and the light directly passing through the green LED light source capable of generating green light can be mixed into amber, orange or yellow according to the vehicle regulations in the chromaticity coordinates within the ranges of the green boundary y ≦ x-0.120, the red boundary y ≧ 0.390, and the white boundary y ≧ 0.790-0.670x by the red optical element 4.
