A headlamp device includes a headlamp, an object detector, and a controller. The headlamp is mounted on a vehicle and includes a light emitting unit composed of multiple light emitting cells. The object detector detects an object around the vehicle and generates an object detection signal including object coordinates corresponding to a location of the detected object. The controller controls light of the headlamp based on information on the object coordinates. The controller may control the light emitting unit such that at least some light emitting cells are turned off according to an object detection signal. Each of multiple light emitting units includes a circuit board, the multiple light emitting cells separated from each other on the circuit board, a molding member formed between the light emitting structures, and a protective member formed on the molding member to surround sides of the multiple wavelength conversion members while filling a gap between the multiple wavelength conversion members.

A controller pulse width modulation (PWM) controls multiple light-emitting pixels arranged in an array that form a variable light distribution lamp. A common counter is provided in common for the multiple light-emitting pixels, and generates a common count value having a ramp waveform. A signal processing unit generates multiple duty cycle instruction values for specifying the duty cycles of the multiple light-emitting pixels according to a light distribution instruction. Furthermore, the signal processing unit stores multiple offset values that correspond to the multiple light-emitting pixels, generates an individual count value for each light-emitting pixel by adding the corresponding offset value to the common count value, and generates individual PWM signals pwml through pwmn that correspond to results of comparison between the individual count values and the corresponding duty cycle instruction values.

A composite array has two two-dimensional arrays on a substrate each having two rows of LEDs. The LEDs in each array have the same orientation as all other LEDs in that array. First electrical traces sequentially couple LEDs in the first string and the second string by beginning at opposite corners of the composite array and alternating between rows of each of the first and second arrays. A second electrical trace couples ends of the first and second strings across rows of the composite array. Third electrical traces route outside the composite array and are coupled, respectively, to a beginning of the first string for the row of the composite array containing the beginning of the first string, a beginning of the second string for the other row, the end of the first LED string for the other row, and electrodes of LEDs in the other row.
