An example headlight includes: a multi-segment illumination source comprising: a first illumination source segment; and a second illumination source segment; driver circuitry coupled to the multi-segment illumination source, the driver circuitry comprising: a first driver coupled to the first illumination source segment, the first driver configured to generate a first drive signal to cause the first illumination source segment to produce a first light having a first brightness; and a second driver coupled to the second illumination source segment, the second driver configured to generate a second drive signal to cause the second illumination source segment to produce a second light having a second brightness; and a spatial light modulator (SLM) optically coupled to the multi-segment illumination source, the SLM configured to: receive the first light; modulate the first light to produce first modulated light; receive the second light; and modulate the second light to produce second modulated light.
LENS UNIT, OPTICAL LENS, ILLUMINATION MODULE, VEHICLE LIGHT, AND VEHICLE
Disclosed are a lens unit, an optical lens, an illumination module, a vehicle light, and a vehicle. The lens unit comprises a light incident portion (1) having first unidirectional collimation and a light emergent portion (2) having second unidirectional collimation, so as to form an asymmetric light shape. The lens unit can meet the requirement of the anisotropy of the illumination light shape of the vehicle light so as to form the asymmetric light shape, thereby meeting the requirement for a narrow and long model.
VEHICLE LAMP OPTICAL ASSEMBLY, VEHICLE LAMP MODULE, VEHICLE LAMP, AND VEHICLE
A vehicle lamp optical assembly includes a primary optical unit having a plurality of primary optical units arranged side by side. The primary optical unit has a light entrance portion and a light guide portion. The light guide portion has a light entrance portion mounting surface and a primary light emission surface.
