Abstract

Automotive light (1) comprising: a substantially basin-shaped rear casing (2); a front half-shell (3) which is arranged to close the mouth of the rear casing (2); one or more lighting assemblies (4, 5, 6) each of which emits light on command, and is located inside the rear casing (2) so as to selectively backlight a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent sector of the front half-shell (3); an LCD panel (10) that extends skimmed over, or is incorporated into, the front half-shell (3) so as to be crossed by the light also crossing the half-shell (3); and an electronic control unit (11) which is adapted to drive the LCD panel (10) so as to make, on command, the body of the LCD panel (10) transparent or opaque to the incident light.
