A head lamp device of a vehicle comprises a pair of lamp units arranged in a direction perpendicular to a forward and rearward direction of a vehicle body, each of the pair of lamp units including at least one light emitting element; and a lighting circuit unit which is supplied with electric power from a power supply and lights the at least one light emitting element, wherein at least a portion of the lighting circuit unit is disposed in a gap formed between the pair of lamp units in the direction in which the pair of lamp units are arranged.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling an intelligent lamp. The apparatus includes a camera that photographs an image of a front control area, a pattern analysis device that checks a target location for a control area of the camera, logs data for each segment corresponding to the target location, and analyzes a light-on/off frequency pattern, and a controller that adjusts a margin width of an anti-glare area for a preceding vehicle by calculating a light-on/off frequency corresponding to a location of the front vehicle based on the light-on/off frequency pattern when the front vehicle is detected.

The invention is related to a method for controlling a light pattern provided by an automotive lighting device of an automotive vehicle, wherein a dynamic portion of the light pattern is provided at least by a matrix arrangement of light sources. This method includes the steps of sensing a turn in a steering system of the automotive vehicle, dividing the dynamic portion in a first portion and a second portion, shifting the operation of the light sources associated to the first portion in the same direction as the sensed turn and create a third portion between the shifted first portion and the second portion. The invention also provides an automotive lighting device with control means to perform the steps of the method.
