  • Publication number: 20180224080
    Abstract: The invention relates to a laser lighting device for vehicles comprising two or more laser light sources, wherein each is configured to generate a primary laser light beam, a light guide associated with each laser light source, wherein each primary laser light beam is coupled into the first end of the guide and coupled out of the second end of the guide as a secondary laser light beam, and each secondary laser light beam is directed onto a light conversion means so as to generate a predefined luminous image thereon, which via a projection system associated with the light conversion means is projected as a light image onto the roadway, wherein each primary laser light beam has a first intensity profile, each secondary laser light beam has a second intensity profile different from the first intensity profile, and each secondary laser light beam is directed via a microscanner onto the light conversion means.

  • Publication number: 20180058652
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device (1) for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising a light module (2) with at least one light emission source (10), a primary lens (100) and a secondary lens (300), wherein said primary lens (100) comprises at least one light-conducting ancillary lens (102) which is designed to direct light (50) captured by the at least one light emission source (10) through at least one light-emitting surface (103) of the ancillary lens and on to the secondary lens (300) arranged downstream in optical longitudinal axial direction (150), and wherein the secondary lens (300) is designed to image a light distribution, which forms on the light-emitting surface (103) of the ancillary lens, in an area in front of the lighting device (1).

  • Publication number: 20180045392
    Abstract: A headlight for motor vehicles having at least one laser light source (1) which can be modulated by means of an actuator (3) and a processing unit (4) and of which the laser beam (2) is directed onto at least one light conversion means (8) via a beam deflection means (7) actuated by a beam deflection actuator (9), said light conversion means having a phosphor for converting light, and said headlight also comprising a projection system (12) for projecting the light image (12) generated at the at least one light conversion means onto the roadway (13), wherein in addition to changing a specified light distribution, the processing unit (4) is configured to change the intensity of the beam (2) of the laser light source (1) by means of the actuator (3) according to a specified function in the sense of increasing the intensity in the direction of the edges of the light image (11) generated on the light conversion means (8).

  • Publication number: 20170321857
    Abstract: Method for producing a light distribution on a road (8) using a motor vehicle headlight, wherein at least one laser beam (2) that can be modulated in intensity is directed in at least one coordinate direction in a scanning manner to a light conversion means (5) using at least one controlled beam deflection means (3) in order to generate an illuminated image (6) on same, said illuminated image being projected as a light image (6?) onto the road using projection optics (7), wherein the image generated from the laser beam (2) using the beam deflection means (3) is split by deflecting the laser beam (2?) by means of an image convolution means (4), and the sub-images are projected in a mirror-imaged manner in relation to a division line onto the light conversion means (5) to be combined and form an entire illuminated image (6).
