摘要: For measuring the oscillation amplitude of a scanner mirror in a projection system of a motor vehicle headlight, a laser beam generated by a laser source is directed onto the scanner mirror and reflected by the latter so that the laser beam thus reflected is incident on a detector device (20) that has a plurality of photodetector elements (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) and there describes a curve (P) based on the oscillation movement of the scanner mirror. The center point of the curve (P) is offset by an offset value (xoffset, yoffset) from the center of the detector device (20). The time period (tON,X, tON,Y) in which the curve passes through the specific detector region (RX, RY) that corresponds to a coordinate to be measured is determined; and the oscillation amplitude (xpp, ypp) in the direction of the specific coordinate is determined using the ratio of the time period (tON,X, tON,Y) determined in this manner to the total duration (T) of an oscillation period and the offsets (xoffset, yoffset).

摘要: In order to determine a zero position of the actuating drive (14) of a luminous range adjustment of a light module (10) in a headlamp for vehicles, light coming from the light source (1) is directed onto an absorber surface (12). The absorber surface (12) has an opening, through which light passes as a delimited light beam (17). By means of the actuating drive (14), the light module (10) is pivoted in terms of its angle position, an intensity of the light beam (17) passing through the opening being detected by means of a light-sensitive sensor (15) which is arranged behind the absorber surface (12).

摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling a motor vehicle headlight which at least comprises a laser diode (1) and a light conversion element (8) paired with the laser diode (1). Light conversion element (8) regions corresponding to different regions of the light image (11′) can be illuminated periodically and with a varying intensity by means of a light beam (2) of the laser diode (1), and the illumination intensity in the light conversion element (8) regions corresponding to the different regions of the light image (11′) is adjusted simultaneously by both the relative illumination duration of the different regions as well as different luminous intensities of the laser diode (1) in the light conversion element (8) regions corresponding to the different regions of the light image (11′). In regions in which the light beam (2) is moved with an angular speed below a defined value for the angular speed, the laser diode (1) is solely deactivated and activated, and different luminous intensities of the laser diode (1) are set when the angular speed is above a defined value. The motor vehicle headlight according to the invention has a computing unit (4) for carrying out the method according to the invention.
