An arrangement for producing a glare-free high-beam for vehicles is disclosed with headlights, which have a plurality of LEDs controllable by an ADB control and regulating unit and that a front camera is provided which is connected with the ADB control and regulating unit and which is designed to transmit information about oncoming and/or preceding vehicles to the ADB control unit, the arrangement being characterized in that the headlights are designed to generate an ADB illumination area asymmetrically only for an area of the own lane and that the headlights are designed to generate for an area of the oncoming lane only a low-beam area and a high-beam area. A method for producing an asymmetrical, glare-free high-beam is also disclosed.

An adaptive light module for incorporation into a vehicle's headlight assembly is provided, where the light module may be incorporated as a single unit, or incorporated as one of a plurality of units. The light module, which uses an LED array, collimating optics, illumination and projection micro-lens-arrays (HLAs), is configured to allow tailoring of the illumination intensity distribution by selectively activating/deactivating subsets of the LED array.

A drive circuit is configured to drive a light emitting unit which is provided in a vehicle lamp and includes a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements connected in series. The drive circuit includes a drive voltage generation unit configured to reduce an input voltage from a battery to generate a drive voltage for driving the semiconductor light emitting elements, and a control unit configured to perform ON/OFF control for a bypass switch connected in parallel to a part of the semiconductor light emitting elements and to perform interlock dimming control when the input voltage becomes a first threshold value or lower. The interlock dimming control selects a dimming mode and increases an ON ratio per unit time of the bypass switch as the input voltage drops in the dimming mode.

A vehicle lighting system that projects a primary beam and that comprises a supplemental or auxiliary beam that augments the primary beam that does not exceed any regulatory maximum intensity values. In one embodiment, the lighting system utilizes a multi-lobed lens adapted to distribute light to predetermined areas of the primary beam. A combined beam is created having no portion that exceeds the regulatory maximum intensity. In one illustrative embodiment, the primary beam is a high beam and the combined beam is an augmented primary beam that does not exceed the high beam regulatory limit of 75,000 candelas.

Disclosed are a lamp for a vehicle, and a lamp assembly for a vehicle. The lamp for a vehicle includes a first light source that emits a first light along a first direction that is perpendicular to an upward/downward direction, a refractor that refracts the first light emitted from the first light source, a second light source that emits a second light toward the refractor along a second direction that crosses the first direction, and a third light source disposed adjacent to the second light source, and that emits a third light toward the refractor along the second direction.

The present invention relates to a method for operating a high-resolution projection headlight for a motor vehicle. The high-resolution projection headlight has an active LED pixel matrix light source which comprises an LED matrix monolithically integrated into a semiconductor chip with a plurality of light diode-based pixels and a driver circuit for separately controlling each individual pixel within the LED matrix. A current digital image of a sequence of images is continuously rasterized by means of a graphical controller from graphical data with at least one graphical object (50) and is provided for image reproduction with the projection headlight. A value for a thermal loading of the LED pixel matrix light source is continuously determined. During the rasterizing of a current digital image, surface areas (52) of the graphical objects (50) to be projected are at least partially masked with a masking (60, 61) and modulated, provided that the value for thermal loading exceeds a limit value. The invention also relates to a corresponding projection headlight system for a motor vehicle.

A system may have lights produce illumination. A light may be provided with a collimated light source that produces collimated light. The collimated light source may use lenses or reflective optical elements to produce the collimated light. The light may have an array of light elements each of which emits a respective beam of the illumination. Each light element may have a preshaping lens that receives the collimated light and produces corresponding preshaped output light and an output lens that receives the output light from the preshaping lens and produces a corresponding beam of the illumination. An electrically adjustable shutter may be located between each preshaping lens and output lens to adjust the illumination between a low-beam pattern and high-beam pattern.

A lighting apparatus includes a light source part having a first light source and a second light source provided away from the first light source, a reflective part provided away from the first light source and second light source and reflecting light emitted from the first light source and second light source, and a support part facing the reflective part and supporting the light source part. The reflective part includes a plurality of reflective plates which are continuously provided. Each of the reflective plates provided adjacent to one another has a reflective surface which is shaped differently from one another.

An integrated dual-color vehicle light device includes a vehicle light source module and a vehicle light optical assembly. The vehicle light source module includes a substrate and a plurality of light-emitting units. The light-emitting units are disposed on the substrate and spaced apart from each other. Each of the light-emitting units has a light-emitting surface. A minimum separation distance is defined between the light-emitting surfaces of any two adjacent ones of the light-emitting units, and is less than or equal to 0.3 millimeters. The light-emitting units can jointly emit a first light source and a second light source that have different chromaticities. The vehicle light optical assembly can reflect or refract the first light source and the second light source.
