Vehicle headlamp
A headlamp for a vehicle configured to generate a lighting region (3) in front of the vehicle comprises: a fixed matrix-array first light source configured to emit a high beam, a movable second light source configured to emit a low beam, a correcting mechanism configured to keep a vertical inclination of the low beam constant with respect to a reference horizontal line, when the vehicle is in motion, and a dioptric prism configured to remove at least one shadow region that may occur, in said lighting region, between the high beam and the low beam.
Lighting device for vehicles having two light sources and a free form light directing member for emitting two light distributions
A lighting device for vehicles having a first light source, a second light source and a light-shaping apparatus allocated to the first light source and the second light source, wherein the second light source is offset in relation to the first light source, at least in a direction running perpendicularly to the optical axis of the light-shaping apparatus. The light that is incident on the light-shaping apparatus from the first light source is deflected to produce a first light function and wherein the light that is incident on the light-shaping apparatus from the second light source is deflected to produce a second light function, wherein the light-directing surface of the light-shaping apparatus has a free-form surface comprising multiple varyingly curved surface elements.

Lamp for automobile and automobile including the same
A lamp for an automobile and an automobile including the same include first and second modules that generate light to emit the light to the outside and are spaced apart from each other, respectively including a first light source unit and a second light source unit that include a plurality of light sources which generate light and are provided in a horizontal direction. The light generated from the plurality of light sources provided in each of the first light source unit and the second light source unit is emitted to the outside to produce a plurality of beam patterns, and thus a first beam pattern group and a second beam pattern group are produced. A portion of the plurality of beam patterns constituting the second beam pattern group are produced in at least a portion of a region between the plurality of beam patterns constituting the first beam pattern group.
Vehicle LED lamp
A vehicle LED lamp having a housing with a front lens of lens elements, a circuit board with LEDs, each providing light of one of three different colors, in which each LED is positioned with respect to a different one of the lens elements. A controller for operating the LEDs of a first color to indicate one or more of brake application (stop), activation of headlights, or turn signal, a second color to indicate reverse vehicle motion, and a third color to provide visual warning signals of one of solid on or flashing patterns. The LEDs of each of the different colors are positioned along the circuit board to substantially enable an entirety of the front lens to provide illumination from the lamp in each of the first, second, and third colors by the controller actuating those ones of the LEDs of the first, second, and third colors, respectively.

Lighting Device for a Motor Vehicle Headlight
The invention relates to a lighting device (1) which comprises an imaging unit (2) which is configured to generate an intermediate light image in an imaging plane (ZBE, ZBE′), wherein each imaging unit (2) is composed of a light source (3) and a collimator optics (4), wherein the collimator optics (4) are designed in such a way that the light emitted by the light source (3) in the imaging plane (ZBE, ZBE′) is imaged as an intermediate light image, and wherein the lighting device (1) comprises a projection lens (5) which has a focal plane (BE), and the imaging unit (2) and the projection device (5) are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that the imaging plane (ZBE, ZBE′) lies substantially in the focal plane (BE) of the at least one projection device (5). According to the invention, the imaging unit (2) is designed as a convergence imaging unit (2) being characterized in that the body (4A) of the collimator optics (4) is designed such that the light, which is coupled into the body (4A) via the light coupling region (41A) form a collimator body light bundle (KLB, KLB′) converging into a common virtual intermediate light image plane (VBE, VBE′), wherein the virtual intermediate light image plane (VBE, VBE′) lies in front of the imaging plane (ZBE, ZBE′) of the convergence imaging unit (2) in the direction of light propagation, and wherein a light exit surface (41C) of the body (4A) is designed in such a way that when the collimator body light bundle (KLB, KLB′) exits from the body (4A), the light beams are deflected at the light exit surface (41C) and are formed into an exit light bundle (ALB, ALB′) such that the light beams of the exit light bundle (ALB, ALB′) form the intermediate light image in the imaging plane (ZBE, ZBE′), which intermediate light image lying in the imaging plane is imaged by the projection device (5) into a region in front of the lighting device (1), e.g. into a traffic area in front of the motor vehicle in the case of a lighting device installed in a motor vehicle, as a light distribution or part of a light distribution.
