Method for Operation-Optimized Control of a Deflection Unit
Method for operation-optimized control of a deflection unit (DU) for a light module. The light module is designed to emit segmented light distribution. The light module includes the DU, with which a native resolution of the light module can be visually increased by at least temporary beam deflection via the DU. The method includes: a) receiving a setpoint operating signal (SOS) which contains information on at least one of: setpoint's energy efficiency, temperature, image resolution, image sharpness, clarity, or offset correction; and b) manipulating a control variable (CV) of the DU depending on the SOS, wherein the extent and temporal process of deflection by the DU occurs depending on the CV. At least two of the following aspects of the deflection, predetermined by the CV, are manipulated in amount and/or time period: amplitude; zero position; temporal rate of change; signal basic form; or time period between the zero position passes.
