  • Publication number: 20250237365
    Abstract: Illumination device (10) for a motor vehicle headlamp for generating a low beam, wherein a vertical extension of the low beam extends along a VV-line from at least 0° down to at least ?10° on the VV-line, said illumination device (10) comprises: —an optic body (100) comprising a common light input section (110), a light output section (130) and a shell surface (140) limiting the optic body (100), —a projection lens system (200) configured to project the light-rays in front of the illumination device (10), wherein the projection lens system (200) in combination with the optic body (100) are configured to generate the low beam illuminated by the projection lens system (200), wherein the optic body (100) comprises a first set of optically operative surfaces for guiding light-rays along a first light-ray path (LR1), wherein the first set of operative surfaces comprises a first and second light deflection surface (300a, 300b), and a first light exit surface (300c), wherein the first and second light deflection sur

  • Patent number: 12253228
    Abstract: Illumination device (10) for a motor vehicle headlight for producing segmented full beam distribution (FL), wherein the illumination device (10) comprises the following for this purpose: an optical element (100), comprising light guiding bodies (200) for forming the definable segment full beam distribution (FL), which light guiding bodies (200) respectively have a light entry surface (210) and an exit surface (220), projection optics (300) arranged downstream of the beam path of the optical element (100) having an optical axis (A), which projection optics (300) are designed to project the light exiting from the common exit surface (200a) in front of the illumination device (10) in the direction of a main emission direction (X), and wherein each light guiding body (200) has two lateral side surfaces (230a, 230b) and an upper and a lower side surface (240a, 240b), wherein the optical element (100) has a first and a second light emission half (L1, L2), which can be delimited from one another by a virtual vert
