Publication number: 20240084988Abstract: An illumination device for vehicles is provided, and includes a headlamp with an imaging unit for generating a multitude of light pixels that can be actuated individually. The headlamp also includes a lens unit containing a lens arrangement with a number of lenses arranged in a fixed manner to each other. The light pixels of the imaging unit can be mapped to focused light spots at a specified distance. The headlamp also includes an actuator unit for actuating the imaging unit. A first lens unit of a first headlamp is different from a second lens unit of a second headlamp such that the light pixels of the imaging unit of the first headlamp and the second headlamp are mapped to be focused at different distances.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Sebastian Gatsios, Florian Herold, Dirk Kliebisch, Ingo Möllers, Alexander Schwan, Patrick Vogel
