    摘要: An illuminator for a vehicle includes a light-source unit, a reflective member, a shade, a projection lens, and an outer-lens member. The outer-lens member includes a light-transmissive part and a slat. The slat has a flat plate shape whose thicknesswise direction coincides with a vehicle top-bottom direction of the vehicle and extending in a vehicle widthwise direction of the vehicle. The slat includes a slope inclining toward a vehicle lower side while extending toward the vehicle front side, a reflective layer disposed at a vehicle-upper-side surface of the slat, and a heat-absorbing layer disposed at the vehicle-lower-side surface of the slat.

    摘要: A device for determining a position of a vehicle includes a camera system, a digital headlight system having a left digital headlight and a right digital headlight, and a data processing unit. The data processing unit is configured to assign a first detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the left digital headlight with a first angle, assign a second detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the right digital headlight with a second angle, and trigonometrically determine a distance of the vehicle from a charging module in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and an offset in a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis on a basis of the first and second angles and a distance between the left digital headlight and the right digital headlight.

    摘要: An automotive headlight includes: a light source for emitting light; a polarization beam splitter for receiving a light flux from the light source, and dividing the light flux into a first polarization and a second polarization; a liquid crystal element disposed to receive the first polarization and the second polarization, divided by the polarization beam splitter; a phase shifter disposed on optical axis of one of the first polarization and the second polarization, and aligning polarization axis directions of the first polarization and the second polarization; and an output side polarizer disposed on output side of the liquid crystal element, wherein illumination regions corresponding to respective control electrodes in the liquid crystal element can be controlled to shield light.
