Disclosed is a method of automatically adjusting the leveling of a pixel light headlamp for a vehicle, which may automatically adjust the leveling of a headlamp that is configured for implementing a pixel light using a DMD optical system.

A headlamp control apparatus includes: a headlamp configured to emit light having a high beam pattern in a forward direction from a vehicle; an image capturing unit configured to capture a surrounding image of the vehicle, the surrounding image of the vehicle referring to an image of a peripheral environment of the vehicle; a median barrier detection unit configured to detect a presence of a median barrier around the vehicle, by using information obtained from the surrounding image; and a lamp controller configured to control the light of the headlamp in response to detecting the presence of the median barrier and determining that the vehicle is close to the median barrier.

A lighting module for a motor vehicle including at least one light source designed to emit light rays, optical deviation elements mounted movably in rotation about a first axis of rotation and arranged so as to deviate the light rays to form a light beam, and an actuator designed to rotate the optical element. According to the invention, the module is also designed to be movable in rotation about a second of rotation.

A vehicle lamp includes: a light source unit including at least one light source configured to generate light; a lens that is arranged closer to a front of the vehicle lamp as compared to the light source unit, the lens configured to transmit the light generated by the light source unit; and a shield that is arranged between the light source unit and the lens, and configured to receive the light generated by the light source and allow at least a portion of the received light to pass therethrough, wherein the shield includes a plurality of pixels having respective light transmittances that are configured to be variably controlled, and wherein each of the plurality of pixels is configured to allow independent control of respective light transmittances.

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.

A vehicle lamp includes: a light source unit including one or more light sources and configured to generate light; a reflector configured to reflect at least part of the light generated by the light source unit; and a lens configured to transmit therethrough a first portion of the light that is generated by the light source unit and that is reflected by the reflector to the lens. The reflector includes: a reflective part configured to reflect, to the lens, the first portion of the light generated by the light source unit; and a non-reflective part configured not to reflect, to the lens, the light generated by the light source unit. The reflective part and the non-reflective part of the reflector are configured to selectively reflect the light generated by the light source unit towards the lens to output a light distribution pattern from the vehicle lamp.

The invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle (10) that has one or preferably two such lighting devices that are set up to produce a headlamp flasher signaling function, the lighting device being associated with a controller, the controller controlling the lighting device upon activation of the headlamp flasher signaling function to produce, from the lighting device, a headlamp flasher light distribution, especially in the form of a high beam light distribution (LHV), especially for a defined period of time, in an area in front of the at least one lighting device or in an area in front of the vehicle (10). It is provided that in the case in which the motor vehicle is located on a one-way multilane road (FB) that can only be traveled in one direction (R) and a motor vehicle (20) is driving in front in the lane (FS1) of the motor vehicle (10), the at least one lighting device is set up to produce, in accordance with control commands of the controller (7), a modified headlamp flasher light distribution which only illuminates a subarea (LHV) of the area (LHV) illuminable by the unmodified headlamp flasher light distribution.

A vehicular lamp is provided with a plurality of light emitting units and configured to independently control ON/OFF of the light emitting units. The plurality of light emitting units are disposed so that a desired light distribution is formed by overlapping scanning of illumination spots formed on a virtual screen by emitted lights thereof. The plurality of light emitting units are divided in a plurality of channels, the same direct drive current is supplied to at least one light emitting unit of all of the light emitting units included in the same channel, and the direct drive current is constantly maintained during a scanning period. The current amount of drive current for each channel is set in accordance with a light distribution mode, and ON/OFF of each light emitting unit is switched at a predetermined timing determined in accordance with the light distribution mode during a scanning period.
