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.

ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
A motor vehicle includes headlamps having a plurality of LED light sources, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions. One or more processors executing the instructions are enabled to receive first data, including at least map data, indicating a road curvature upcoming along a road on which the motor vehicle is traveling. The processors are also enabled to determine a light change, the change adapting a light pattern of the headlamps in at least one of color, intensity or spatial distribution to increase light in a direction of the road curvature ahead of the motor vehicle and shaping light based at least in part on the road curvature. The processors are further enabled to control at least a first plurality of the LED light sources to provide light based at least in part on the determined light change and prior to the motor vehicle reaching the road curvature.

Lamp for vehicle and vehicle
A lamp for a vehicle includes an array module including a plurality of micro Light Emitting Diode (LED) chips. The array module has an emission surface that is concave in a first direction of the array module. The lamp further includes a lens system configured to change a waveform of light output from the array module, where the lens system has a positive optical power that represents a degree of convergence of the waveform through the lens system.
