    摘要: A headlight controller and a vehicle headlight system including an ADB can include a headlight controller and an optical unit. The headlight controller can include a system controller and a camera photographing vehicles located in a forward direction thereof, and the system controller can be configured to output a control signal to provide various favorable light distribution patterns by using image data output from the camera in accordance with traffic conditions. The optical unit can be configured to emit beam lights using lights emitted from a first and second light-emitting device via a projector lens so that the beam lights can be used as a high beam and a low beam without movable parts. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can include providing vehicle headlight systems that can form various favorable light distribution patterns by utilizing the characteristics of the controller and the optical unit in accordance with the traffic conditions.

    摘要: A lens body configured to radiate light entering from a light source forward along a forward/rearward reference axis extending in a forward/rearward direction of a vehicle, the lens body including a first reflecting surface having an elliptic spherical shape, a second reflecting surface configured to internally reflect at least some of the light internally reflected by the first reflecting surface, and a light emitting surface, and the light emitting surface having a first leftward/rightward emission region configured to refract an entered light, which has passed through a first focal point, in a direction approaching a forward/rearward reference axis and a second leftward/rightward emission region configured to refract an entered light, which has passed through the first focal point, in a direction separating away from the forward/rearward reference axis at cross sections in a forward/rearward direction and a leftward/rightward direction.

    摘要: A headlight control device automatically switches a light distribution pattern of a headlight for illumination ahead of a vehicle. The headlight control device including an imager that sequentially takes images of a view ahead of the vehicle in a predetermined frame rate, an another-vehicle recognizer that recognizes a light source of another vehicle from each of the images sequentially taken by the imager, a light distribution controller that switches the light distribution pattern according to a recognition result of the another-vehicle recognizer, and a signal provider that provides a signal to illumination light of the headlight by causing the luminance of the headlight to change in a predetermined cycle. The another-vehicle recognizer recognizes, as reflected light of the headlight of the vehicle, a light source which is present within the image and of which luminance change is substantially similar to a luminance change of the signal.

    摘要: A lighting device for a motor vehicle headlamp is described. The device includes a reflector for focusing light emitted by a light source. At the rear end of the reflector is an opening to receive at least a part of the light source, and a reflector neck that surrounds the opening and to which the light source is fastened in a defined position relative to a reflective surface of the reflector. A plurality of locking members are formed on the reflector which in the course of a rotary movement of the light source about the optical axis of the reflector or about an axis parallel thereto when the light source has been at least partly inserted in the reflector neck, engage in corresponding perforations formed in the fight source.
