An apparatus for driving a headlamp shield is provided, which simplifies the operation structure of a bi-functional headlamp shield to reduce costs and improve quality. The apparatus includes a shield that rotates integrally with a rotary shaft thereof, and a coil section formed to cylindrically surround the rotary shaft, and that is configured to generate an electromagnetic force for moving the rotary shaft in a linear trajectory when a current is applied to the coil section. Further, a motion direction switching component adjusts the linear axial movement of the rotary shaft to axial rotation thereof.

A light emitting module includes a reflector, a lens and a light source disposed in the reflector. The lens is disposed in front of the reflector to refract light forwards so that the illuminating area of the light emitting module is adjustable. The light emitting module is particularly suitable for head light of vehicles. The light emitting module has a high illuminating efficiency and prevent light from dazzling a driver's eyes.

A control apparatus (1) for vehicle headlight including a rear end detection unit (3, 7) that detects a rear end (117) of a preceding vehicle (111) and a light blocking area setting unit (7) that sets a light blocking area (123) that includes the rear end within a light illumination area of a headlight (101, 103) of an own vehicle (107), wherein the light blocking area setting unit sets the light blocking area such that a spreading extent (125, 127) of the light blocking area outside the rear end is wider on a side in which a front end of the preceding vehicle is present than on the opposite side with reference to the rear end as viewed from the own vehicle.

A light path processing element, comprising an element main body having a cut-off portion, wherein the element main body is a double-sided reflecting plate, or has a protrusion on one side and a reflecting surface on the other side. A headlamp module, comprising a low-beam illumination unit, a high-beam illumination unit, a collimating optical device, and the light path processing element, wherein light rays emitted by the low-beam illumination unit and the high-beam illumination unit can form low-beam and high-beam light patterns under the action of the light path processing element, and the low-beam and high-beam light patterns can be quickly and noiselessly switched between without needing to move the light path processing element. Further disclosed are a vehicle lamp including the headlamp module, and a vehicle including the vehicle lamp.

An external shutter assembly to control a light beam emitted by a headlight of a vehicle includes a pair of transparent structures arranged facing the headlight and a blind assembly arranged between the transparent structures. The blind assembly includes a support rod extending movably coupled to a first transparent structure and a base rod fixedly coupled to a second transparent structure. The support rod is arranged to be displaced in the vertical direction. The blind assembly further includes a plurality of blinds arrayed in a vertical direction and arranged spaced apart from each other with first ends the blinds being pivotally coupled to the base rod and second end of the blinds attached to the support rod. The blinds pivot between a horizontal position and a slanted position in response to the vertical displacement of the support rod to control an angle of the light beam.
