An adaptive lighting system for an automotive vehicle. The adaptive lighting system has a wavelength conversion device for receiving the light radiation (L) from the primary source and re-emitting white light radiation (B). An optical imaging system receives the white light (B) re-emitted by the wavelength conversion device and projects this light (B) in front of the vehicle to form a lighting beam, the wavelength conversion device being situated close to a focal plane of the optical imaging system, and the scanning system and the optical system being situated on the same side or on opposite sides of the wavelength conversion device. An intensity of the white light radiation (B) emitted by the wavelength conversion device is capable of being modulated between a minimum value and a maximum value, and the scanning is performed at variable speed.

A headlamp for vehicles having a light source, a lens unit and a liquid crystal shutter arranged between the light source and the lens unit. The liquid crystal shutter includes a multitude of surface areas that can each be controlled to switch the respective surface areas to a transparent or a non-transparent state so that a given light distribution pattern is generated. A polarizing reflector is assigned to the light source, so that a linearly polarized light beam is reflected in the direction of the liquid crystal shutter.
