  • Patent number: 12172570
    Abstract: Disclosed are an automatic leveling system and a method for a headlamp, which accurately detects whether a road is uphill or downhill, and a lateral gradient condition of the road. The system and method also automatically adjust a light radiating direction through the headlamp according to the road. Further, a sensor capable of scanning a road surface and a lamp module radiating light are integrated with each other, so a light irradiation position is accurately and rapidly adjusted according to a road condition, thus improving the accuracy and the reliability of the light irradiation position. Further, as the light irradiation position of a headlamp is adjusted by comparing image capturing information obtained through an image capturing device with sensing information obtained through a laser sensor, the deterioration of the aiming accuracy due to the mounting state of a camera is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20240418950
    Abstract: A variable lighting apparatus allows the light to selectively enter the plurality of optical fibers by changing the position of the light output member having a circular plate shape in the state in which the number of light sources is minimized, such that the optical fibers simultaneously or individually emit light, and thus the patterns in which the light is to be outputted are diversified. In addition, the variable lighting apparatus may minimize the number of required light sources and implement various lighting images only by using the light output member, thereby reducing the manufacturing costs and simplifying the structure.

  • Patent number: 11959612
    Abstract: A chromaticity variable type road projection lamp system applied to a vehicle is composed of a chromaticity variable lamp that radiates a road surface radiation content, which is generated by reflecting the lights emitted from a first projection light-emitting diode (LED) of a warm white color and a second projection LED of a cool white color disposed in the direction symmetrical to a DMD at the tilting angle, with a projection beam from a chromaticity variable road projection, and radiates the low beam by comparing the warm white color of the first lamp LED and the cool white color of the second lamp LED with the road surface radiation content in chromaticity.

  • Publication number: 20240118426
    Abstract: An integrated lamp device for a vehicle includes a first light source module for lidar sensing and a second light source module for beam patterning installed in a single housing, thereby reducing an overall size. Further, an aiming adjustment is performed by a reflection unit separated from the light source modules, thereby stabilizing a structure and ensuring durability performance.

  • Patent number: 11850994
    Abstract: A leveling apparatus for a vehicle headlamp includes: a housing disposed at a front side of a vehicle; a light source module disposed in the housing to emit light; a tilting sensor disposed in the housing to detect an inclination degree of a road; a tilting means to tilt the light source module and the tilting sensor together; and a controller. The controller receives a signal detected by the tilting sensor and controls the tilting means based on the inclination degree of the road to adjust a light emission angle of the light source module. In addition, the tilting sensor operates until a sensed output of the tilting sensor reaches a normal range.
