  • Patent number: 10272824
    Abstract: A lighting method comprising: definition, by a control system (CTRL_S) of a lighting device (HL), of a parameter (PAR) of the lighting device; transmission of this parameter, by the control system, to an actuator (LSS) of the lighting device; and generation, by the actuator, with a light source (LSR) of the lighting device, of a light beam producing an image corresponding to a light map obtained by modifying a light map stored in the actuator using the parameter received from the control system. The description also relates to a lighting device, a computer program and a storage medium for implementing such a method.

  • Patent number: 9677736
    Abstract: An adaptive lighting system for an automotive vehicle. The adaptive lighting system has a wavelength conversion device for receiving the light radiation (L) from the primary source and re-emitting white light radiation (B). An optical imaging system receives the white light (B) re-emitted by the wavelength conversion device and projects this light (B) in front of the vehicle to form a lighting beam, the wavelength conversion device being situated close to a focal plane of the optical imaging system, and the scanning system and the optical system being situated on the same side of the wavelength conversion device. An intensity of the white light radiation (B) emitted by the wavelength conversion device is capable of being modulated between a minimum value and a maximum value, and the scanning is performed at variable speed.
