A control method of a lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include: sensing, by a sensing unit, a distance between the vehicle and a pedestrian; determining, by a control unit, whether the distance between the vehicle and the pedestrian falls within a first distance; determining, by the control unit, a walking direction of the pedestrian when the distance between the vehicle and the pedestrian falls within the first distance; and indicating, by the control unit, the walking direction to the pedestrian by operating a plurality of flap units.

A movable shade mechanism for a vehicular headlight and a vehicular headlight capable of reducing the entire weight while enhancing rigidity of a bracket is provided. A movable shade mechanism for a vehicular headlight includes a shade member rotating around a rotary shaft and adjusting a shielding amount of light from a light source, a drive unit to generate power to drive the shade member, a transmission member to transmit power of the drive unit to the shade member, and a plate bracket to hold the rotary shaft and the drive unit, wherein the bracket includes a base that is disposed along a horizontal plane in a vehicle-mounted state and supports the drive unit, and a shade support that is bent upwardly from a rear end of the base in the vehicle-mounted state and supports the rotary shaft.

Disclosed are PBS-based ADB function adjustment method and an intelligent vehicle light module therefor. A light source system and a light control element constitute an intelligent illumination light control system. One part of light rays emitted by the intelligent illumination light control system penetrate through a PBS to form an illumination light shape, and the other part of the light rays emitted by the intelligent illumination light control system are reflected by the PBS in a direction opposite to a photosensitive chip integrated circuit. Ambient light enters an imaging lens group in a direction opposite to an illumination light path, and one part of the ambient light is reflected by the PBS to the photosensitive chip integrated circuit to form an information source for dynamic control of the light control system.
