    摘要: Method for controlling a lighting system with the lighting system including a plurality of light sources, wherein each light source is capable of emitting an elementary light beam with the vertical angular aperture of which is less than 1°. The method includes detecting a target object, determining a relative distance between a given point of the host vehicle sensor system and a detected point of the target object and determining a gradient of the road on which the target object is located, determining a lower angle and an upper angle between a given point of the host vehicle lighting system and a high cut-off point and a low cut-off point, controlling the light sources of the host vehicle lighting system in order to emit a pixelated light beam of the driving beam type in order to generate a dark zone extending substantially between the high and low cut-off points.

    摘要: The invention is related to a method for controlling a light pattern provided by an automotive lighting device of an automotive vehicle, wherein a dynamic portion of the light pattern is provided at least by a matrix arrangement of light sources. This method includes the steps of sensing a turn in a steering system of the automotive vehicle, dividing the dynamic portion in a first portion and a second portion, shifting the operation of the light sources associated to the first portion in the same direction as the sensed turn and create a third portion between the shifted first portion and the second portion. The invention also provides an automotive lighting device with control means to perform the steps of the method.

    摘要: This vehicular lighting equipment provided on a vehicle (100), which is capable of travelling around a corner by tilting the vehicle body toward the turning direction, comprises a light source, an optical member by which the light emitted from the light source is directed forward from the lighting equipment to form a predetermined light distribution pattern (PL), and a control unit for adjusting the predetermined light distribution pattern (PL) according to the tilted state of the vehicle body. The control unit is configured to adjust a predetermined light distribution pattern (PL2) such that in a light distribution pattern (PL1) corresponding to when the vehicle body is tilted, no light is irradiated in a region located outside the light distribution pattern (PL) corresponding to when the vehicle body is in the vertical state.

    摘要: An optical system for use in a headlamp of a motor vehicle includes condenser optics formed by a condenser lens matrix and being provided to focus incoming light beams. It further includes at least one reflective shield being provided to reflect at least a subset of the focused light beams and to create a cut-off line of outgoing light beams. It further includes imaging optics formed by an imaging lens matrix, which is provided to project the focused light beams and the reflected light beams in front of the headlamp, such that the reflected light beams contribute to an intensity hotspot on one side of the cut-off line.

    摘要: A high-low beam switching device includes an installation housing, a high-low beam switching unit, and an actuating unit. The high-low beam switching unit includes a light occluding member movable between a low beam position and a high beam position, a retaining protrusion disposed on a downward surface of the light occluding member, and an elastic member disposed for biasing the light occluding member toward the low beam position. The actuating unit includes an actuating rod engaging the retaining protrusion and operable for driving the light occluding member to switch between the low beam position and the high beam position.
