An adaptable-driving-beam headlamp for a vehicle includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on one or more printed circuit boards. An inner lens assembly has a plurality of discrete sub-lenses. Each discrete sub-lens of the inner lens assembly is aligned with a respective one of the plurality of LEDs for shaping emitted light. An outer lens is adapted to receive light from the inner lens assembly and project the light from the vehicle. A camera system for imaging a forward view from the vehicle. A controller is adapted for determining a target location based images received from the camera system such that dimming of one or more LEDs via the controller reduces glare from the vehicle adaptable-driving-beam headlamp as perceived at the target location.

An adaptive beam scanning headlamp for a vehicle includes a plurality of light sources arranged linearly, with each of the plurality of light sources having a linear array of LEDs. A plurality of primary projection lenses shape light from the plurality of light sources. An oscillating mirror obliquely angled between the plurality of primary projection lenses and a secondary projection lens receives light from the plurality of primary projection lenses and redirects the light to the secondary projection lens. The secondary projection lens is adapted to further shape the light for projecting a beam pattern from the vehicle. A controller is adapted for controlling each of the plurality of light sources and the oscillating mirror to actively dim or turn off portions of the beam pattern for reducing glare perceived outside the vehicle.

An adaptive driving beam headlamp includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) aligned in a first direction. One or more projection lenses having a toric-shape are adapted for shaping light emitted from the plurality of LEDs along the first direction. A beam shaping optic is adapted to shape light emitted from the one or more projection lenses along a second direction, different from the first direction, such that a desired beam shaping pattern is produced by the beam shaping optic in combination with the one or more projection lenses. A controller is adapted for independently controlling each of the plurality of LEDs for adaptively dimming portions of a vehicle headlamp beam of light.

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 present invention relates to an optical device for automotive lighting. The optical device comprises: a plurality of light sources; a plurality of primary optics arranged in a matrix and configured to receive and redirect light from the plurality of light sources; and a secondary optics configured to receive the redirected light from the plurality of primary optics and project out the received light into a desired beam pattern. Each of the primary optics is shaped as a light guide with a light entrance face and a light exit face at two opposite ends thereof, which light guide is configured to guide light incident at the light entrance face via total internal reflection to the light exit face where light is refracted out towards the secondary optics. Each light guide further comprises a plurality of side faces extending between the light entrance face and the light exit face. For at least one light guide, at least one side face comprises a curved face, whose curvatures at different positions are designed, by sweeping a polygonal line along a direction perpendicular to the desired direction and perpendicular to a light guiding direction of the at least one light guide, such that a first desired gradient light intensity distribution is projected out along a desired direction by the secondary optics.
