The present invention provides a photosensitive composition with which a cured film having excellent patterning properties and excellent electrode anticorrosion properties can be produced. In addition, it also provides a cured film formed of the photosensitive composition, a color filter, a light shielding film, an optical element, a solid-state imaging element, an infrared sensor, and a headlight unit.

The photosensitive composition of the present invention contains a zirconium nitride-based particle containing one or more selected from the group consisting of zirconium nitride and zirconium oxynitride a resin, a polymerizable compound, and a photopolymerization initiator, in which the zirconium nitride-based particle contains 0.001% to 0.400% by mass of a Fe atom with respect to a total mass of the zirconium nitride-based particle.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a lighting device for a motor vehicle comprising at least first and second light modules arranged to emit, respectively, first and second pixelated light beams in first and second predetermined emission zones which are associated with them, the resolution of the first pixelated light beam being greater than the resolution of the second pixelated light beam and the first and second predetermined emission zones being adjacent, the method includes detecting the presence of a target object in a given zone among the first and second predetermined emission zones and forming a dark zone in the pixelated light beam associated with the given zone, by extinction or attenuation of at least one pixel of the pixelated light beam, located at the level of the target object.

A control method of a lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include: sensing, by a sensing unit, a distance between the vehicle and a pedestrian; determining, by a control unit, whether the distance between the vehicle and the pedestrian falls within a first distance; determining, by the control unit, a walking direction of the pedestrian when the distance between the vehicle and the pedestrian falls within the first distance; and indicating, by the control unit, the walking direction to the pedestrian by operating a plurality of flap units.

A vehicle may have lights such as headlights. The lights may emit visible and infrared light. Infrared light may be used to illuminate objects that are monitored using infrared image sensors or other infrared sensors. Visible light may be used to illuminate objects that are viewed by vehicle occupants and which may be monitored using sensors. Headlights and other lights in the vehicle may be adjustable. An adjustable light may have a light source that contains an infrared light-emitting device such as an infrared light-emitting diode and a visible light-emitting device such as a visible light-emitting diode. A reflector may reflect light from the light source towards a lens. An adjustable light-blocking device may be located between the reflector and the lens. The light-blocking device may allow infrared light to pass unimpeded while adjusting visible light passing to the lens.

A movable shade mechanism for a vehicular headlight and a vehicular headlight capable of reducing the entire weight while enhancing rigidity of a bracket is provided. A movable shade mechanism for a vehicular headlight includes a shade member rotating around a rotary shaft and adjusting a shielding amount of light from a light source, a drive unit to generate power to drive the shade member, a transmission member to transmit power of the drive unit to the shade member, and a plate bracket to hold the rotary shaft and the drive unit, wherein the bracket includes a base that is disposed along a horizontal plane in a vehicle-mounted state and supports the drive unit, and a shade support that is bent upwardly from a rear end of the base in the vehicle-mounted state and supports the rotary shaft.

A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes a housing having a front lighting surface, a substantially planar plate and at least one lighting module mounted on the plate. The plate has a general plane of extension that is horizontal when the housing is mounted in the vehicle, and has a surface referred to as a lower surface and a surface referred to as an upper surface. The plate includes a first control system which comprises a first male element and is arranged to cause translation of the first male element in an axis parallel to the plate, the plate being provided with a first recess receiving the first male element, and a second control system that includes a second male element and is arranged to cause translation of the second male element in an axis perpendicular to the plate, the plate being provided with a second recess on its upper or lower surface that receives the second male element. The housing thus takes up less space above the modules, which can easily be raised.
