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.

A lighting system includes a first luminous component, with the emittable light of which a first illumination region is formable, and including a second luminous component, with the emittable light of which a second illumination region is formable. The first luminous component is configured in such a way that its light is dimmable and/or switchable on and off in a partial region of the first illumination region. The second luminous component is configured in such a way that its light is at least one of dimmable or switchable on and off in a partial region of the second illumination region, said partial region being formed such that it is at least larger than the minimum size, or the second luminous component is configured in such a way that its light is at least one of dimmable only in its entirety or is switchable on and off only in its entirety.

A vehicle lighting fixture is configured to form a predetermined light distribution pattern (for example, a high-beam (driving) light distribution pattern and a low-beam (passing) light distribution pattern) by superimposing N partial light distribution patterns wherein N is a natural number of 2 or more. The vehicle lighting fixture can include a light intensity changing unit configured to change a light intensity of at least one partial light distribution pattern out of the N partial light distribution patterns.

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 method and apparatus for controlling a headlight system of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The headlight system can be actuated in at least two control modes, each having an associated, predetermined maximum main beam width. First, a current driving situation of the motor vehicle is captured on the basis of at least one operating, parameter of the motor vehicle. A current control mode is ascertained based on which control mode from at least two control modes matches a control mode assigned to the captured driving situation on the basis of the captured current driving situation and at least one-time or temporal parameter. The controller is shifted into the assigned control mode when the current control mode does not match the assigned control mode, wherein a maximum main beam width is set for the current driving situation.
