Vehicle Lamp Assemblies Including Light Diverting System And Apparatus
A light diverting system for diverting light from a headlamp assembly of a vehicle includes a processor and a user input device communicatively coupled to the processor. A light diverting apparatus includes an actuator communicatively coupled to the processor and a light diverting member comprising a reflective surface configured to reflect light from a light source. A memory module is communicatively coupled to the processor that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to receive user instructions from the user input device and adjust a position of the light diverting member using the light diverting apparatus based on the user instructions.
VEHICULAR HEADLAMP
A vehicular headlamp comprising: a front lens body extending in a predetermined direction; a plurality of optical systems disposed along the predetermined direction behind the front lens body; and a control means, wherein the plurality of optical systems each includes: a rear lens unit disposed behind the front lens body; and a light source which is disposed behind the rear lens unit and emits light which is irradiated forward permeating the rear lens unit and the front lens body in that order to form a light distribution pattern for a headlamp, and the control means individually controls lighting states of the light sources in each of the plurality of optical systems.
Vehicle display system, vehicle system, and vehicle
A vehicle display system provided to a vehicle, includes a first display device, a second display device, and a display control unit. The first display device is configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle. The second display device is located inside the vehicle and configured to display predetermined information toward a passenger in the vehicle so that the predetermined information is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle. The display control unit is configured to control the first display device. The display control unit is configured to control emission of the light pattern according to a passenger's input operation on a display area where the predetermined information can be displayed.
Work Lighting for a Machine, and Machine Having the Work Lighting
The present invention relates to a work lighting (100) for a machine (200) for generating an adaptive working illumination, comprising a plurality of lighting means (10) arranged in the form of a light-emitting matrix (20) to generate the working illumination, and at least one central adjusting unit (60, 70, 80) for separately adjusting the working illumination of the individual lighting means (10) in the light-emitting matrix. The invention further relates to a machine (200) having a work lighting (100) according to the invention.
Headlight control data generation device and vehicle control device
A headlight control data generation device that generates headlight control data of a vehicle including a headlight includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit sequentially acquires, when a manual mode is selected, set data including a detection value of an illuminance around the vehicle, and ON and OFF data indicating that the headlight is in an ON state or in an OFF state at the time of sampling of the detection value, and generates the headlight control data based on the acquired set data. The headlight control data includes data regarding information on a probability of the headlight being in an ON state.
CAR LIGHT SENSOR WARNING FOR HEADLIGHTS
A method and system for controlling exterior lights on a vehicle. The method includes receiving an input indicative of a desired mode of operation of the exterior lights from a user-selectable input device. The user-selectable input device includes an on-setting, an off-setting, and an automatic-setting. The method further includes receiving sensor data indicative of a level of visibility outside the vehicle, comparing the sensor data to a threshold, and generating, by an electronic processor, a notification indicative of an improper positioning of the user-selectable input device when the sensor data indicates that the level of visibility is less than the threshold and the user-selectable input device is positioned in the off-setting.
Vehicular headlamp driving control device
A vehicular headlamp driving control device is provided, wherein the vehicular headlamp driving control device comprises: an AFL function on/off check unit; a headlamp driving controller that reads an AFL function execution initiation message and then controls operations of a left/right driving actuator, an up/down driving actuator, and a beam pattern changing actuator, which have been connected to the headlamp, so as to correspond to a sensing value from a sensor; and an AFL function detailed adjustment controller configured such that the AFL function can be distinguished as belonging to an AFL detailed level of an upper level, a middle level, or a lower level according to AFL detailed distinction particulars, which have been preset in AFL function detailed setting particulars, and controlled accordingly.
Vehicle headlight control apparatus
A vehicle headlight control apparatus controls headlights of a vehicle including LEDs. The vehicle headlight control apparatus includes: drivers and each of which gradually changes a luminance of the LEDs between a predetermined on state and a predetermined off state over a switching time period; and a lamp ECU that determines the switching time period in a changeable manner.
Solid state adaptive headlight
An adaptive light module for incorporation into a vehicle's headlight assembly is provided, where the light module may be incorporated as a single unit, or incorporated as one of a plurality of units. The light module, which uses an LED array, collimating optics, illumination and projection micro-lens-arrays (HLAs), is configured to allow tailoring of the illumination intensity distribution by selectively activating/deactivating subsets of the LED array.
VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, VEHICLE SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE
This display system which is provided in a vehicle comprises: a road surface drawing device that is configured so as to emit a light pattern (L1) toward a road surface outside the vehicle; an HUD that is located inside the vehicle and configured so as to display HUD information to an occupant of the vehicle such that the HUD information is overlaid on real space outside the vehicle; and a display control unit that is configured so as to control the road surface drawing device. The display control unit is configured so as to control the emission of the light pattern (L1) in accordance with an input operation by the occupant in an HUD display area (D1) where the HUD information can be displayed.
