A head lamp includes a plate-shaped base supported in a housing. A first light source is disposed on an upper surface of the base. A second light source is disposed on a lower surface of the base. An upper reflector extends from the upper surface of the base and is configured to reflect incident light emitted from the first light source in a forward direction. A lower reflector extends from the lower surface of the base and is configured to reflect light emitted from the second light source in the forward direction. A shield main body extends from an end of the base and is configured to: block a portion of light reflected from the upper reflector and the lower reflector, and form a beam pattern. A shield protrusion protrudes from the shield main body and is configured to block another portion of the light reflected by the lower reflector.

An optical unit includes a light source having both a first light emitting element for emitting light having a first color and a second light emitting element for emitting light having a second color that is different from the first color; and a rotating reflector configured to be rotated in one direction around a rotational shaft, while reflecting the light having the first color and the light having the second color, which have been emitted from the light source. In the rotating reflector, a reflecting surface is provided such that a predetermined light distribution pattern is formed with the light having the first color and the light having the second color, which have been reflected by the rotation of the rotating reflector, being superimposed one on another.

A vehicle lighting fixture can include a plurality of light sources; a plurality of optical deflectors provided to correspond to the light sources, the optical deflector configured to include a mirror part; a screen member configured to form a luminance distribution assigned to each optical deflector with the scanning light by the mirror part of the optical deflector; an optical system configured to project the luminance distributions on the screen member to thereby form a predetermined light distribution pattern; a changing unit configured to change the luminance distribution assigned to each of the optical deflectors; and a control unit configured to control the light sources and the optical deflectors so that the optical deflectors each can form the respective luminance distributions assigned to the respective optical deflectors on the screen member. The changing unit can change the respective luminance distributions assigned to the respective optical deflectors at a prescribed timing.

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 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 lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include a lamp housing part mounted on a vehicle body, a projection optical system disposed within the lamp housing part and configured to radiate light, and a reflection part rotatably disposed in a light path of the light radiated by the projection optical system and configured to reflect, toward a lighting-up surface of the vehicle, the light radiated by the projection optical system.

A lighting device for vehicles having a light source unit and having an optical unit that contains a reflector with at least one reflector surface for creating a specified light distribution, wherein the light source unit has a first light source that is arranged in a focal point region of the reflector surface. A second light source is arranged outside the focal point region of the reflector surface. A lens is arranged ahead of the reflector surface in the direction of light emission. The second light source is arranged outside the focal point region such that the light emitted by the second light source strikes a lens segment of the lens which a light emitted by the first light source and reflected by the reflector surface does not strike, so that all lens segments of the lens are illuminated.
