An automotive headlamp system and an automotive lamp. The automotive headlamp system comprises a light source, a primary optical element, an automotive signal lamp structure, and a secondary optical element arranged sequentially along the light emitting direction. The automotive signal lamp structure comprises a light-transmitting portion and a rotating shaft. The light-transmitting portion comprises at least one light-transmitting plate mounted on the rotating shaft which can be driven to rotate by the rotating shaft. By means of rotation, light from the light source exits from the primary optical element, then selectively passes through one of or none of the light-transmitting plates, and is then projected by means of the secondary optical element to achieve a corresponding signal lamp function. The light-transmitting plate mounted on the rotating shaft is used to replace an existing signal lamp, reducing the space occupied by the original signal lamp, decreasing the volume of a headlamp.

A vehicle may have lights such as headlights and other vehicle lights for providing vehicle illumination. The lights may be electrically adjustable so that the color and pattern of the illumination may be varied. Sensor data and/or other data may be used in determining how to adjust the lights. A light such as headlight may have a light source such as a white light source or multicolored light source, a light collimator that receives light from the light source, and an adjustable lens array that receives collimated light from the light collimator and outputs corresponding adjustable vehicle illumination. The adjustable lens array may have fixed and/or adjustable lens elements and corresponding electrically adjustable light modulator elements.

The second support is configured to support the first support, wherein the first support and second support are respectively configured to form a first space and a second space of the film portion.

A headlamp for a vehicle configured to generate a lighting region (3) in front of the vehicle comprises: a fixed matrix-array first light source configured to emit a high beam, a movable second light source configured to emit a low beam, a correcting mechanism configured to keep a vertical inclination of the low beam constant with respect to a reference horizontal line, when the vehicle is in motion, and a dioptric prism configured to remove at least one shadow region that may occur, in said lighting region, between the high beam and the low beam.

A vehicle lamp including a plurality of solid state light emitters that emit light that passes through a cold mirror to be converted to human visible light by a conversion layer. Some converted light will exit the lamp in the desired direction. Some converted light will transmit toward the cold minor be reflected by the cold minor toward the exit of the lamp. A micro-optics layer is optically connected to the solid state light emitters to direct the light therefrom to the cold mirror. Controller is provided to control solid state light emitters and/or the controllable elements of microprism layer.

An assembly for projecting a light beam includes a first sub-assembly for generating light rays, and a second sub-assembly comprising a converging lens. The first sub-assembly is arranged upstream of the second sub-assembly such that the light rays coming from the first sub-assembly are sent to the converging lens and such that the light rays emerging from the converging lens form the light beam. According to the invention, the projection assembly includes at least one connection system connecting the first sub-assembly to the second sub-assembly and allowing at least one translational movement of the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly relative to each other in a first longitudinal direction (X). Moreover, the connection system comprises a locking member that is movable between a first position in which the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly are motionless with respect to each other and a second position enabling the translational movement.

Light-based devices may be provided that emit light. The light-based devices may be incorporated into systems such as vehicles. The light-based devices may include light sources such as light-emitting diodes and lasers. Mirrors may be used to collimate light from the light sources. Light modulators may be used to pattern light from the light sources. The light sources may include light sources of different colors. Arrays of pixels may be used to provide dynamically varying patterns of emitted light. A light source may produce light that is diffracted by an array of diffractive elements on a window. Mechanical and electrical shutters may obscure light sources, mirrors, and light-emitting components mounted on windows.
