Headlamp control device
A headlamp control device configured to control a headlamp which illuminates forward of a vehicle, is provided. The device includes a visibility detector configured to detect visibility of a road state forward of the vehicle, and a headlamp controlling module configured to control brightness of the headlamp. The headlamp controlling module is able to adjust light emitted from the headlamp so that a brightness gradient that is a difference of brightness of a part distant from the vehicle and brightness of a part closer to the vehicle is changed. When a deterioration in the visibility is detected, the headlamp controlling module executes a brightness adjusting control in which the brightness gradient is increased by making the brightness of the part closer to the vehicle higher than the brightness of the part distant from the vehicle, as compared with the brightness gradient when the deterioration in the visibility is not detected.

CHANGING HEADLIGHT PROPERTIES TO RECOMMEND VEHICLE SPEED
Systems and methods are provided for adjusting headlight properties according to the speed of the vehicle. In particular, some embodiments aim to optimize a vehicle's lighting in suboptimal conditions. Using the data processed by the ADAS, the system is able to optimize the vehicle's lighting by taking into account various factors beyond the current speed limit on the road.

Optical unit
An optical unit includes a cylindrical rotatable lens and a light source provided in the rotatable lens. The rotatable lens is configured such that a light output from the light source is incident via an inner circumferential surface and is output via an outer circumferential surface as an irradiating beam, and a predetermined irradiated area is formed by scanning a space in front with the irradiating beam according to a periodical movement of the rotatable lens.
Lamp for vehicle
A lamp for a vehicle using micromirrors includes a variable beam forming part that generates light and forms a variable beam pattern. In particular, the variable beam forming part includes a first optical part that irradiates the light; a beam pattern forming part that reflects the light of the first optical part to form the variable beam pattern; and a second optical part that transmits the light reflected from the beam pattern forming part. The beam pattern forming part includes a reflection part including a plurality of micromirrors; and a housing that accommodates the reflection part. The housing includes an anti-reflection member to prevent secondary reflection of the light having been reflected by the reflection part.

Automotive lamp
A scanning light source includes a light source, and scans the output light of the light source ahead of a lamp. A control apparatus controls the lighting on/off state of the semiconductor light source in synchronization with the scanning operation of the scanning light source. The control apparatus judges the presence or absence of an abnormal state with at least one from among (i) a timing immediately before switching from a lighting-on state to a lighting-off state and (ii) a timing immediately before switching from a lighting-off state to a lighting-on state as a judgment timing.
