An anti-glare system for vehicles has a linear polarized filter mounted to a headlight of a vehicle with the positive side of the filter placed at a 135 degree angle relative to a horizontal line. A second linear polarized filter is mounted to a windshield of the vehicle with the negative side of the second filter placed at an angle of 45 degrees relative to a horizontal line. When vehicles equipped with this anti-glare system meet travelling in opposite directions, the polarized light emitted by the headlight of one vehicle is blocked by the filter installed in the windshield of the other vehicle. A third linear polarized filter may be mounted to rear and side view mirrors of the vehicle with the positive side of the third filter placed at an angle of 135 degrees relative to a horizontal line. When vehicles equipped with the anti-glare system meet travelling in the same direction, the polarized light emitted by the headlight of one vehicle is blocked by the filter installed in the rear or side view mirror of the other vehicle.

A light source assembly for a headlamp of a vehicle includes a light source, a lens group, a light adjusting device, and a fluorescent layer. The light source emits light. The lens group increases an incident angle of the light from the light source while the light adjusting device, comprising three different types of crystal, can change an outgoing direction of light from the lens group, thereby adjusting an intensity of the light through different portions of the light adjusting device. The fluorescent layer is triggered by the light and different fluorescent layers can be compensated for by the light adjusting device to form a final emitted white light.

A lighting apparatus including a light generating device and at least one light wavelength conversion element and also at least one light directing means is provided. The light generating device and the at least one light directing means are configured in such a way that linearly polarized light is generated and directed from different directions to the at least one light wavelength conversion element, such that the linearly polarized light impinges on a surface of the at least one light wavelength conversion element from different directions in each case at an angle of incidence which corresponds to a Brewster angle, wherein the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light is parallel to the plane of incidence thereof.

A headlamp for vehicles, in which the laser beam of at least one laser light source (1) is directed via a beam deflection means (7) towards at least one light conversion means (8) in a scanning manner, which at least one light conversion means comprises a phosphor for converting light, and having a projection system (10) for projecting the light image (9) generated at the light conversion means onto the roadway (11), characterised in that at least one electro-optical modulator (4) is arranged in the beam path of the at least one laser light source (1), which at least one electro-optical modulator is controlled by a control unit (12) and lies before the light conversion means (8) in the beam path and affects the polarisation of the light, wherein a polarisation element (3, 5, 17) is arranged at least after the modulator in the beam path.

A headlamp for vehicles having a light source, a lens unit and a liquid crystal shutter arranged between the light source and the lens unit. The liquid crystal shutter includes a multitude of surface areas that can each be controlled to switch the respective surface areas to a transparent or a non-transparent state so that a given light distribution pattern is generated. A polarizing reflector is assigned to the light source, so that a linearly polarized light beam is reflected in the direction of the liquid crystal shutter.

A lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include a light source for emitting polarized beams in different directions, a filter for receiving the polarized beams emitted from the light source, reflecting a first of the polarized beams, and transmitting a second of the polarized beams, a reflective condenser for receiving the polarized beams from the filter, and focusing the received polarized beams on a focal point, and an emitter disposed on a path, along which the polarized beams emerging from the reflective condenser travel to be focused, to emit the received polarized beams as light of a predetermined color.
