The present invention relates to an automotive optical system; the optical system includes one or more first optical elements that reflect light rays emitted from a number of first light sources that are configured to perform a first lighting function and a second optical element; the second optical element is configured to project a light beam from the first optical elements configured to perform the first lighting function where a portion of the second optical element is made of a diffusive material. Furthermore, the optical system includes a number of secondary light sources where the second optical element is configured to receive light ray emissions from the secondary light sources and perform a second lighting function by scattering light rays received from secondary light sources.

A lighting apparatus is disclosed with a light generating device, at least one collimator lens, first and second parabolic mirrors, an optical diaphragm embodied in a light reflecting fashion, and a spherical mirror. The diaphragm is arranged between the parabolic mirrors, extending as far as a common focus of them. The parabolic mirror, the device and the lens are arranged so that light emitted by the device and collimated by the lens is directed onto the first parabolic mirror reflection surface and light reflected by the first parabolic mirror reflection surface impinges on the second parabolic mirror reflection surface or on the diaphragm. The spherical mirror is arranged so that its focus is arranged at the common focus of the parabolic mirrors and light reflected at the diaphragm impinges on the spherical mirror reflection surface and is directed from the reflection surface onto the second parabolic mirror reflection surface.

A vehicle head lamp includes a spatial light modulator and a control device. The vehicle head lamp forms a desired light distribution pattern by radiating light forward via the spatial light modulator, a high luminous intensity region and a low luminous intensity region adjacent to an outer edge of the high luminous intensity region are formed in the desired light distribution pattern to be irradiated by controlling the spatial light modulator, the low luminous intensity region is configured such that the luminous intensity decreases gradationally from the outer edge of the high luminous intensity region toward an outside of the low luminous intensity region, and the control device controls the spatial light modulator so as to relatively change at least one of sizes, luminous intensities, and positions of the high luminous intensity region and the low luminous intensity region based on a traveling condition of a vehicle.

A lighting apparatus for vehicles with a plurality of light sources and with a defined light distribution. The optical unit has an upstream optical unit with upstream optical elements allocated to the respective light sources, which are immediately adjacent to the light sources in the primary emission direction upstream of same. The majority of upstream optical elements have a segmented embodiment and is connected by joining.

A low-beam headlight element includes a lens (301) for modifying the distribution pattern of light penetrating the lens, and a reflector element (302) including a first end having a place for a light source (303) and a second end having an opening constituting a passage for the light penetrating the lens. The thickness of the lens is shaped to decrease more strongly towards a first edge (303) of the lens than towards an opposite second edge of lens so as to provide more refractivity on a first area of the lens abutting on the first edge than on a second area of the lens abutting on the second edge. The refractivity on the first area produces a cutoff line in a resulting light distribution pattern. Hence, for achieving a cutoff line meandering in a desired way, there is no need for a screen element which converts light into heat.
