Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a tail lamp assembly for a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a compact packaging of the tail lamp assembly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] In existing vehicles, a plurality of vehicle light units such as tail lamp assembly and a light unit for illumination of a number plate are provided, and each of the plurality of vehicle light units are provided with separate Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Use of multiple PCBs and LEDs increases the overall cost, part count, size, dimensions and design complexity of the vehicle light units, and also use of multiple vehicle light units increases the overall cost, part count, size, dimensions and design complexity of the vehicle.
[003] In order to overcome this problem, conventionally, the vehicle light units are provided with a single PCB and a plurality of LEDs being disposed on both sides of the PCB for optimum utilization of space. However, in such configurations, the amount of light being distributed on a tail lamp assembly or on the number plate is not adequate. In order to provide adequate illumination, a reflector is provided over the LEDs for directing light from the LEDs towards the number plate and the lens of the tail lamp assembly. However, use of a reflector increases the overall part count of the vehicle light unit which results in increased size and dimensions of the tail lamp assembly. Also, as the reflector is fastened to a portion of a bezel of the vehicle light unit through fasteners, the reflector inadvertently increases the size, dimensions and design complexity of the vehicle light unit. Furthermore, light reflected through the reflectors gets concentrated at a single location of the lens of the vehicle light unit such as a tail lamp lens and the number plate lens and, in turn, increases the visible hotspots on the lens of the vehicle light unit. The visible hotspots reduce aesthetic appearances of the tail lamp assembly and concentration of light at hotspots reduces visibility of the vehicle for an incoming vehicle. Furthermore, different mating parts are required to be designed for accommodating the plurality of vehicle light units in the vehicle which increases part count, size, dimensions and design complexity of the vehicle. Furthermore, increased part count in vehicle light units results in difficulty in packaging.
[004] In view thereof, there is a need-felt to overcome at least the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.

[023] The claimed invention as discussed above is not routine, conventional, or well understood in the art, as the claimed invention enable the following advantages in addressing existing problems in conventional technologies. Specifically, the technical problem of multiple light units and multiple Printed Circuit Boards and Light Emitting Diodes in each vehicle light unit which increase the design complexity and cost of the vehicle light unit as well as the vehicle is solved by the present invention.
[024] In the present invention, the light source for the number plate is provided in the tail lamp assembly. Therefore, no separate light source outside the tail lamp assembly is required for illumination of tail lamp assembly.
[025] In the present invention, the tail lamp assembly does not utilize a reflector which reduces the number of part counts in the vehicle which decreases the manufacturing cost as well as the assembly cost of the vehicle. As the reflector is not present, the size and dimensions of the tail lamp assembly is also reduced. The reduction in the size of the tail lamp assembly increases the aesthetics of the vehicle and provides more space for other components of the vehicle.
[026] In the present invention, the light source provided in the tail lamp assembly illuminates the number plate of the vehicle. Therefore, a separate light unit for illumination of the number plate is not required which decreases part count, manufacturing cost as well as assembly cost of the vehicle.
[027] In the present invention, the light emitted from the first set of light emitting diodes is directed to the light bar via the cavity formed in the bottom flat portion of the bottom wall of the bezel and towards the lens by the plurality of ribs provided on the bottom projected portion of the bottom wall of the bezel which results in homogenous illumination of the tail lamp assembly and reduction in visible hotspots.
[028] In the present invention, a single printed circuit board is used for illumination of both the tail lamp assembly and the number plate, which decreases the cost and design complexity of the vehicle.
[029] While the present invention has been described with respect to certain embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modification may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
