A vehicular lighting device includes a scanning light source that includes a semiconductor light source and a motor, and scans a region in front of the lighting device, with light emitted from the semiconductor light source, in accordance with motion of the motor, and a lighting circuit that changes the light quantity of the semiconductor light source in synchronization with the motion of the motor, during a normal lighting period, so as to obtain a predetermined light distribution pattern. The lighting circuit starts the motion of the motor, in response to a lighting command for headlight flashing during a stop period of the motor, and continuously lights the semiconductor light source asynchronously with the motion of the motor, during a start-up period that precedes the normal lighting period.

The invention describes a method of providing an illumination pattern for vehicle lighting, the method comprising the steps of: providing a light pattern comprising a multitude of scanlines of white light by illuminating a light converter by means of a scanning laser arrangement for illuminating an area, wherein the scanlines are characterized by a defined scanline width; adapting a cut-off of the light pattern by changing a position of at least one scanline with respect to a reference illumination pattern or by dimming at least a limited portion of at least one scanline. The invention further describes a vehicle headlight system and a computer program product.

A lamp module includes a light source unit that generates light; and a light guide unit that emits at least a portion of the light incident from the light source unit to generate a beam pattern. The light guide unit comprises a light incident portion configured to receive at least a portion of the light incident from the light source unit; a light emitting portion configured to emit at least a portion of the light incident through the light incident portion; and a transmission portion disposed between the light incident portion and the light emitting portion and configured to transmit at least a portion of the light incident through the light incident portion to the light emitting portion. The transmission portion comprises a shield portion including an edge portion formed along a rear focal plane of the light emitting portion and configured to obstruct a portion of the light.

Provided is a mobile object capable of appropriately communicating a status of the mobile object to the outside. The mobile object includes: a main body that moves; a pair of left and right headlights that are arranged on a front surface of the main body; and a pair of linear light emitters each including a light emission area which emits light linearly, the pair of linear light emitters being arranged respectively above the pair of left and right headlights.

Provided is a lamp for a vehicle capable of forming a plurality of different beam patterns. The vehicle lamp includes a light source system, a lens system, and a shield system. The lens system includes a plurality of incident lenses onto which light emitted from the light source system is incident and a plurality of exit lenses to output the light incident thereto from the plurality of incident lenses to form a predetermined beam pattern. The shield system includes a plurality of main shields to block some of light beams from being directed to the plurality of exit lenses, wherein each of the plurality of shields includes a blocking surface to block a light beam from being directed to the plurality of exit lenses and at least one transmission hole formed in the blocking surface.

A configurable vehicle lighting module system includes a shared lens that provides a first light pattern for a first vehicle lighting function and a second light pattern for a second vehicle lighting function. The shared lens includes a mounting axis as a reference for mounting on a vehicle. First internal optics direct light toward the shared lens to provide the first light pattern; second internal optics direct light toward the shared lens to provide the second light pattern. A coupling system joins the shared lens with either the first internal optics to form a first module configuration for the first vehicle lighting function or with the second internal optics to form a second module configuration for the second vehicle lighting function. The shared lens conceals physical differences between internal optics configurations such that the first and second light module configurations appear the same when viewed along the shared lens.
