A headlight (1) includes a lamp unit (20) including: light sources (52R,52G,52B) that emit laser light; and phase modulation elements (54R,54G,54B) that diffract the laser light emitted from the light sources (52R,52G,52B) with a phase modulation pattern that is changeable, and emit light of a light distribution pattern based on the phase modulation pattern. The lamp unit (20) adjusts a total luminous flux amount of light emitted from the lamp unit (20) according to the light distribution pattern.

A lighting device having a light source, an optical element associated with the light source and designed as a reflection lens which, in a central region accommodating an optical axis of the optical element, has a lens section which has a first coupling-in surface on a coupling-in side and a first coupling-out surface on a coupling-out side. The light source is tilted and/or is arranged rotated about the optical axis in the plane running perpendicular to the optical axis, with the formation of an obliquely running edge of the light source, and the first coupling-in surface, the second coupling-in surface, the reflection surface, the first coupling-out surface, and/or the second coupling-out surface of the optical element are shaped in such a way that the predetermined light distribution is produced with imaging of the edge of the light source as a cut-off line.

A vehicle lamp is configured to form a required light distribution pattern by irradiating light emitted from a light source unit toward a lamp front side via a microlens array. The microlens array is configured such that a plurality of condenser lens portions configured to converge the light emitted from the light source unit are formed on a rear surface, while a plurality of projection lens portions configured to project a plurality of light source images formed by the plurality of condenser lens portions are formed on a front surface, and a laterally long light distribution pattern is formed by the light emitted from the microlens array.

A vehicle lamp includes: a light source that emits a light; an optical member including a lens that irradiates the light from the light source to a front of the vehicle lamp and forms a predetermined light distribution pattern including a plurality of regions; and a controller that, when an object outside the vehicle is detected, adjusts the predetermined light distribution pattern so as not to irradiate at least one first region including the object among the plurality of regions with the light. When the vehicle body is in a cornering state, the controller acquires inclination information of the vehicle body, determines whether there is a second region that does not exceed a reference line, based on the inclination information, and when determining that there is the second region, irradiates the second region with the light even when the object is included in the second region.

A headlight assembly for an automobile comprising a left region and a right region, the headlight assembly being configured to reduce an intensity of a light beam when an oncoming automobile is detected, is described. The headlight assembly includes, at least one light source, at least one light detector configured to detect the oncoming automobile and generate a signal, and a control module configured to receive the signal from the light detector, and reduce the intensity of the light beam. A method for reducing the intensity of a light beam of a headlight assembly for an automobile when an oncoming automobile is detected, is also described.

A vehicular lamp includes a two-dimensional image forming device configured to form a contrast image from light emitted by a light source; and a projection optical system configured to project the contrast image forward. The two-dimensional image forming device includes an image-forming performance decreasing portion configured to decrease image-forming performance of forming a part of the projected contrast image.

An arrangement for producing a glare-free high-beam for vehicles is disclosed with headlights, which have a plurality of LEDs controllable by an ADB control and regulating unit and that a front camera is provided which is connected with the ADB control and regulating unit and which is designed to transmit information about oncoming and/or preceding vehicles to the ADB control unit, the arrangement being characterized in that the headlights are designed to generate an ADB illumination area asymmetrically only for an area of the own lane and that the headlights are designed to generate for an area of the oncoming lane only a low-beam area and a high-beam area. A method for producing an asymmetrical, glare-free high-beam is also disclosed.

A vehicle light fixture comprises a light source unit and a lens. The light source unit comprises: a substrate; a first light-emitting chip array having first light-emitting chips arranged in a horizontal direction on the substrate; a second chip array having second light-emitting chips arranged in a horizontal direction on the substrate; and a third light-emitting chip array having third light-emitting chips arranged in a horizontal direction on the substrate. The second light-emitting chip array is positioned beneath the first light-emitting chip array in the plumb-bob vertical direction, and separated by a first distance. The third light-emitting chip array is positioned beneath the second light-emitting chip array in the plumb-bob vertical direction, and separated by a second distance. The first distance is longer than the second distance.
