Publication number: 20240093852Abstract: A headlight for a motor vehicle having at least one light source which emits light during operation of the headlight. A primary optical system has at least one light entry surface for the light emitted by the at least one light source and at least one light exit surface. A secondary optical system, which, during operation of the headlight, projects the light emitted from the at least one light exit surface of the primary optical system into the space outside the motor vehicle where it produces a light distribution which has a horizontal cut-off line and light portions located above the cut-off line in order to implement an OS function (overhead sign function). The headlight being designed such that a portion of the light emitted by the primary optical system is reflected back to the primary optical system by the secondary optical system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: HELLA GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20240077185Abstract: A lighting module is provided for generating two different lighting effects, and includes at least one light source, a first primary optical element, a second primary optical element, and a projection lens. The first primary optical element contains a diffusion surface diffusing the light beams from the light source to homogenously light the projections lens for a first lighting effect. The first primary optical element has a first reflector and second reflector. The first reflector reflects light beams from the light source in a boundary area between the diffusion surface and another section of the lighting module onto the second reflector to direct these light beams through the diffusion surface onto the projection lens. The second primary optical element directs light beams from the light source onto the projection lens to light the projection lens for a second lighting effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Björn Dreßler, Fabian Schüler

Publication number: 20140376249Abstract: A headlight for vehicles, having a reflector, a light source unit which is functionally assigned to the reflector, a lens placed in front of the light source unit in the primary beam direction, and an aperture device arranged between the light source unit and the lens. The aperture device is positioned in a focal point region of the lens and has an aperture edge which runs perpendicular to the optical axis for the purpose of generating a light/dark boundary for a prespecified light distribution. The light source unit has a plurality of light sources separated spatially from each other, such that light can be emitted from an illumination surface. The aperture edge transitions into a correction edge from a central region of the aperture device towards opposite ends of the same. The correction edge runs in such a manner that an optical lens aberration resulting from the light source unit being constructed as an illumination surface is compensated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Björn Dreßler, Matthias Ehm, Daniel Süsselbeck
