  • Publication number: 20240084988
    Abstract: An illumination device for vehicles is provided, and includes a headlamp with an imaging unit for generating a multitude of light pixels that can be actuated individually. The headlamp also includes a lens unit containing a lens arrangement with a number of lenses arranged in a fixed manner to each other. The light pixels of the imaging unit can be mapped to focused light spots at a specified distance. The headlamp also includes an actuator unit for actuating the imaging unit. A first lens unit of a first headlamp is different from a second lens unit of a second headlamp such that the light pixels of the imaging unit of the first headlamp and the second headlamp are mapped to be focused at different distances.

  • Publication number: 20240005849
    Abstract: A lighting arrangement with a control unit and two LED lighting modules, each comprising an LED matrix. Control information, including an image signal for generating a light image, can be generated with the control unit for each lighting module, and the light image can be generated with the LED matrix of each lighting module, which the control unit has generated for this lighting module. The control unit is connected to the lighting modules for the transmission of the image signals. The first lighting module has a processing unit and a first interface via which the information for the lighting modules can be extracted from the signal generated by the control unit. The processing unit provides the information intended for the second lighting module at the first interface of the first lighting module, and wherein the second lighting module is connected to the first interface of the first lighting module.

  • Publication number: 20230382291
    Abstract: An illumination arrangement includes with a control unit, an illumination module connected to the control unit via a bidirectional first channel that features an LED matrix for generating light, and a peripheral module connected to the illumination module via a second channel. The control unit can be used to generate data for controlling the illumination module and for controlling the peripheral module. The data for controlling the illumination module and data for controlling the peripheral module can be transferred to the illumination module via the first channel. The data for controlling the peripheral module can be transferred from the illumination module to the peripheral module via the second channel. The second channel is a bidirectional channel via which data can be transferred from the peripheral module to the illumination module that, after being received by the illumination module, can be transferred to the control unit via the first channel.

  • Publication number: 20230382292
    Abstract: An illumination arrangement is provided with a control unit, an illumination module including an LED matrix for the generation of light, and a peripheral module connected to the illumination module. The control unit generates data for controlling the illumination module and for controlling the peripheral module. The data for controlling the illumination module and for controlling the peripheral module is transferred to the illumination module. The data for controlling the peripheral module is transferred to the peripheral module. An RGB signal is generated by the control unit for generating a light pattern by the illumination module, and is transferred to the illumination module. The image data of the RGB signal is the data for controlling the illumination module or at least forms a part of the data for controlling the illumination module, and the RGB signal has a range not used for image data.

  • Patent number: 11566770
    Abstract: A lighting device for vehicles with a number of light sources, a number of reflectors reflecting the light emitted by the light sources into a specified main reflection direction, a number of diffusers scattering the light emitted by the light sources and a lens which is disposed in main reflection direction in front of the reflector and the diffuser. The lens is disposed at a v-shaped angle of a surface normal of the lens toward the main reflection direction of the reflector. A theoretical prolongation of the diffuser in relation to the surface normal of the lens extends in an acute angle of incidence or vertically to the lens. The diffuser is disposed as a separating wall between two reflectors which are disposed on stepped, offset levels and/or the diffuser is disposed as an end wall at a reflector.
