  • Clear obelisk projector shield
    Patent number: 11396991
    Abstract: A projector shield including a clear obelisk optic configured to modulate light exiting a vehicular headlamp. The clear obelisk optic comprises a base configured to sufficiently allow the passage of light therethrough, and a tip configured to refract light thereby preventing it from exiting the vehicular headlamp. The clear obelisk optic generates a light projection having a sufficiently dimmed area compared to surrounding areas.
    Type: Grant

  • Adaptive headlamp for optically and electronically shaping light
    Patent number: 10876699
    Abstract: An adaptive driving beam headlamp includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) aligned in a first direction. One or more projection lenses having a toric-shape are adapted for shaping light emitted from the plurality of LEDs along the first direction. A beam shaping optic is adapted to shape light emitted from the one or more projection lenses along a second direction, different from the first direction, such that a desired beam shaping pattern is produced by the beam shaping optic in combination with the one or more projection lenses. A controller is adapted for independently controlling each of the plurality of LEDs for adaptively dimming portions of a vehicle headlamp beam of light.
