A lighting device to be mounted on a vehicle has a light source, a projection lens having an optical axis, and disposed so as to allow at least some of light emitted from the light source to pass therethrough, a holder that holds the projection lens, a pivot shaft provided at one of the projection lens and the holder and extending in a direction intersecting with the optical axis of the projection lens, a bearing provided at the other of the projection lens and the holder and that holds the pivot shaft, an aiming mechanism configured to pivot the projection lens relative to the holder about the pivot shaft, and a reflector configured to reflect the light emitted from the light source in a predetermined direction. The reflector is provided in the holder. The position of the holder to the light source is fixed.

An illumination device is provided, including a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam and an optical device that diffuses the coherent light beam. The optical device includes a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to display predetermined information in a second area. A timing control unit individually controls a light emission timing at which the coherent light source emits the coherent light so that the coherent light is irradiated to the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region, an incident timing at which the coherent light from the coherent light source is incident on the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region, or an illumination timing at which the coherent light diffused by the optical device illuminates the first area and the second area.

A head lamp device of a straddle vehicle, the head lamp device having an optical axis adjustment mechanism, comprises a housing; and an internal unit including a light source device which emits light, and a light output device which outputs in a forward direction the light emitted from the light source device, through the housing, the internal unit being accommodated in the housing in a state in which the internal unit is tiltable with respect to the housing. The internal unit includes a support point part which is tiltably supported by the housing. In a front view, the support point part is disposed in an area center of the internal unit or at a location that is in the vicinity of the area center.

A headlight module includes: a light source for emitting light; a condensing optical element for concentrating the light; and an optical element including an incident surface for receiving the concentrated light, a reflecting surface for reflecting the received light, and an emitting surface for emitting the reflected light. The condensing optical element changes a divergence angle of the light to form a light distribution pattern. The reflected light and light that enters the optical element and is not reflected by the reflecting surface are superposed on a plane including a point located at a focal position of the emitting surface in a direction of an optical axis of the emitting surface and being perpendicular to the optical axis, thereby forming a high luminous intensity region in the light distribution pattern on the plane. The emitting surface has positive refractive power and projects the light distribution pattern formed on the plane.

The light module for motor vehicle offers a light source associated with a first part of an imaging system so as to produce a reflected beam coincident with the reflection surface of a high definition pixellated spatial light modulator, which makes it possible to avoid unnecessarily lighting the periphery of the spatial light modulator. The light source consists essentially in one or more light emitting diodes and/or has a punctiform or virtually punctiform appearance. The reflected radiation arrives on a second part of the imaging system, this part characteristically consisting in an optical projection system, some of whose elements can form a back focussing system. The module remains compact and is clearly suitable for providing adaptive lighting in a homogeneous, efficient manner and with high resolution.

Provided is a beam-steering mechanism, comprising a lens and a light source positioned in a focal plane of the lens. One of the light source and the lens moves relative to the other of the light source and the lens. The light source outputs a light beam at the lens which forms an illumination spot on a surface from the light beam. The illumination spot moves in a direction in response to a movement of one of the light source and the lens.
