A headlight of a motor vehicle including a light source and first projection optics, in which each one includes a respective first pair made of one respective first image mask and of one respective first projection lens with a first focal length, which is illuminated by the light source through the one respective image mask. The headlight has two projection optics, in which each one is featuring a respective second pair made of one respective second image mask and of one respective second projection lens with a second focal length, which is illuminated by the light source through the one respective second image mask. The second focal length is greater than the first focal length. An illuminated portion of the first image mask, has a shape of at least a first portion of an overall light distribution of the headlight, and a portion of the second image masks, has a shape of a central portion of the overall light distribution of the headlight.

A control device includes a sensing unit configured to detect information regarding an environment of a vehicle; a head lamp configured to selectively output light of at least one color among a plurality of colors; and at least one processor configured to control the head lamp to selectively output light of a first color based on the information regarding the environment of the vehicle satisfying a first condition. In addition, a method for controlling a vehicle includes: detecting, through a sensing unit, information regarding an environment of the vehicle; and controlling, by at least one processor, a head lamp of the vehicle to selectively output light of a first color among a plurality of colors based on the information regarding the environment of the vehicle satisfying a first condition.

A lighting device for a vehicle, having a plurality of light sources, which are arranged in an array, in particular in line-by-line and column-by-column fashion, and can be operated independently of each other at least in part, wherein the light sources emit light during operation; an exit face through which the light emanating from the light sources passes; and a plurality of extensive boundary elements, which extend at least partly in a region between the light sources and the exit face and serve to separate the light emanating from different light sources, wherein at least some, preferably all, of the extensive boundary elements have a reflector which at least partly reflects the light emanating from one of the light sources in the direction of the exit face.

Provided is a light source device, including: a light-emitting chip arranged on a base plate and configured to emit first light; a light guide rod including first and second light guide portions, the first light guide portion including a light incident end surface, the first light entering the light guide rod through the light incident end surface and being transmitted to the second light guide portion after passing through the first light guide portion, and the second light guide portion including a light-outputting surface for outputting light; a first positioning member including a first groove for accommodating the light guide rod, being directly or indirectly fixed relative to the base plate; and a movable fixing assembly configured to fix, together with the groove of the first positioning member, the light guide rod along a radial direction of the light guide rod, and deforms when fixing the light guide rod.

Multiple light sources are arranged in an array. A light guide member receives light emitted from the multiple light sources on its back face, and outputs the light thus received from its front face. The light guide member has a base portion such that its back face faces the multiple light sources and such that it extends in the array direction of the multiple light sources. Multiple back-face protrusions and multiple front-face protrusions are formed such that they protrude from the back face and the front face of the base portion. The front-face protrusion has multiple continuous faces in the circumferential direction along the front face of the base portion.
