Light beam projection device provided with submatrices of light sources, lighting and headlight module provided with such a device
An optical light beam projection device, notably for a motor vehicle, includes upstream in the direction of propagation of the light rays, a set of at least two associated submatrices each provided with primary light sources capable of emitting light rays. Downstream, a primary optical system is provided with a plurality of convergent optics, at least one convergent optic being associated with each submatrix and arranged downstream thereof, the separation between the optical axes of two adjacent convergent optics corresponds respectively to the separation between the centers of the corresponding adjacent submatrices. Another subject of the invention is an optical module comprising the device and a motor vehicle headlight.
LED Headlamp System with Brightness Control
A headlamp illumination source that switches from a first configuration conforming to on-road illumination standards to a second configuration that does not conform to on-road illumination standards. The switching is preferably controlled by a wireless signal but in some embodiments the switching can be controlled by a hard-wired signal or by a switch proximate the illumination source itself.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE ELECTRIC CURRENT WITHIN A SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT SOURCE DEFINING AT LEAST TWO DISTINCT LIGHT-EMISSION REGIONS
A method for controlling an electric current within a semiconductor light source, the light source comprising a substrate with at least two distinct light-emitting regions, wherein the method comprises the following steps: activating a first luminous region, regulating the mean value of the electrical variable relating to the electric current received by the light source as a function of a first setpoint, so as to obtain a first value of a first luminous flux corresponding to the flux emitted by the first luminous region, activating at least a second luminous region of the light source, regulating the mean value of the electrical variable relating to the electric current received by the light source, so as to obtain a second value of a second luminous flux corresponding to the flux emitted by at least the second luminous region.
OPTICAL ARRANGEMENT WITH IMPROVED STABILITY
The invention relates to an optical arrangement including LED lighting elements arranged on a support surface. An optical axis X extends from the support surface. A first collimator unit includes at least one support element and first collimator elements. The support element is supported on the support surface between at least two of the LED lighting elements.
