Illumination device for a motor vehicle
An illumination device for a motor vehicle includes a first light source and a scanner, wherein, in the switched-on state of the first light source, light coming from same is incident upon the scanner and the scanner performs a scanning movement, by which the beam path of the light from the first light source is modified after passing via the scanner and a moving first light spot is thereby generated, with which a first lighting function is provided, which represents an illumination of a surrounding area of the motor vehicle with visible light. A conversion element is arranged in the beam path of the light from the first light source after passing via the scanner, which converts the light that is incident upon the element into white light. One or more second light sources are provided, wherein, in the switched-on state of a respective second light source, light coming from same is incident upon the scanner and the scanner performs a scanning movement, by which the beam path of the light from the respective second light source is modified after passing via the scanner, without encountering a conversion element provided in the illumination device, and a moving second light spot is thereby generated, with which a respective second lighting function is provided.

Headlight matrix systems and methods for a vehicle
A headlight system for a banking vehicle is provided. The headlight system includes a plurality of optical assemblies being arranged about an optical horizon and an optical vertical axis. Each of the plurality of optical assemblies includes an illumination source and an optical element. Each of the illumination sources is configured to direct light toward a corresponding one of the optical elements to produce an illumination region. The illumination regions combine to form an illumination pattern that includes at least one illumination region that is radial and is positioned relative an optical origin. The intersection between the optical horizon and the optical vertical axis defines the optical origin.

HEADLAMP FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
A headlamp for a vehicle may include: a left inner high beam source having a plurality of left inner high beam elements arranged therein, and configured to emit a left inner high beam; a left outer high beam source having a plurality of left outer high beam elements arranged therein, and configured to emit a left outer high beam to overlap the left inner high beam emitted from the left inner high beam source; a right inner high beam source having a plurality of right inner high beam elements arranged therein, and configured to emit a right inner high beam; and a right outer high beam source having a plurality of right outer high beam elements arranged therein, and configured to emit a right outer high beam to overlap the right inner high beam emitted from the right inner high beam source.
ANTI-GLARE HEADLAMP AND MOTOR VEHICLE
An anti-glare headlamp for a motor vehicle, including a large number of light units, each of the light units having: a light source element, which is configured to emit light along a first optical axis in the direction of a space; a projection optic, which is disposed behind the light source element in the direction of the emitted light and is configured to project the light emitted by the light source element into the space at a solid angle; and a photodetector, which is situated in front of the projection optic in the direction of the emitted light and is configured to detect the light projected into the space by the projection optic and reflected from an object in the space, along a second optical axis back to the projection optic.
Micro front lighting system for vehicle
A method and apparatus provide a light module that includes a plurality of optical functions supported by a single housing. The method and apparatus further adjusts aiming of all optical functions of the light module in multiple directions when needed.
Vehicle head light control apparatus
A vehicle head light control apparatus controls a lighting apparatus included in a headlight of a vehicle to avoid irradiating to an irradiation avoidance region which is a region overlaps with a detected object. The lighting apparatus can irradiate an irradiation region which is a set of irradiation sections. When the vehicle is in a manual driving state, irradiating to the irradiation sections included in an adjacent region which is a region adjacent to the irradiation avoidance region is reduced as a distance between the irradiation section and the irradiation avoidance region becomes shorter. When the vehicle is in an autonomous driving state, the adjacent region is not provided or the adjacent region becomes smaller as compared with a case where the vehicle is in the manual driving state.
Vehicle lamp
A vehicle lamp includes a lamp unit configured such that emitted light from a light source is emitted toward the front of the lamp via a projection lens. The lamp unit includes first and second light sources as the light source, which are turned on at respective required turning on modes. The first light source includes at least one light emitting element disposed in a vicinity of a rear focal point of the projection lens. The second light source includes at least one light emitting element disposed at a position obtained by being moved from the rear focal point in a front-rear direction above the rear focal point. Light emitting elements including the first and second light source respectively are mounted on the same substrate extending obliquely in the front-rear direction of the lamp relative to a vertical plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the lamp.
Vehicle high beam with selective directional illumination
A system and method involve driver-side high beams to be selectively deactivated for oncoming traffic. It is intended to allow passenger-side high beams to continue operation to preserve the driver's peripheral vision. The driver's side high beam is manually controlled by a separate switch. During use, when an oncoming vehicle approaches, the activation of the switch allows the driver to deactivate only the driver side high beam while the passenger side high beam remains activated. This produces a situation in which the oncoming driver is no longer blinded, but the vehicle driver still maintains the extended vision of the high beam on the left-hand side of the vehicle.
