  • Publication number: 20150219298
    Abstract: A headlamp for vehicles with a semiconductor-based light source arrangement including a number of chips with a matrix-type arrangement of the light sources for the forming of a light source group. Neighboring light sources have an equidistant distance relative to one another. The headlamp also includes an optics unit for the projection of the light sources to form a given light distribution. At least two light source groups are arranged on a common carrier, and a group distance between neighboring light source groups is larger than the distance between the neighboring light sources of the respective light source groups. The light source groups are assigned a common optics unit, and the optics unit being configured so that border light sources of neighboring light sources groups arranged on edges of the respective neighboring light source groups and facing one another are projected to form overlapping light spots.

  • Publication number: 20140056020
    Abstract: A light unit for a motor vehicle with an illuminated area through which visible light can be emitted. The illuminated area is formed by a first and a second planar OLED-element and the first OLED-element can be controlled independent from the second OLED-element, thus a segmenting of the illuminated area occurs.

  • Patent number: 8292481
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle headlamp containing a multiple number of LED light sources and at least one optical unit upstream of the LED sources, whereby the LED light sources are arranged in groups with one group of LED light sources to generate a specified light distribution, whereby the LED light sources within one group of LED light sources are of equal size, whereby the dimensions of the LED light sources within one group of LED light sources and/or the optical unit demonstrate the illumination characteristics needed to ensure that the group of LED light sources completely fulfills at least one specified lighting function in the vehicle environment, whereby light spots are produced with a vertical and/or horizontal critical angle within the range of between 0.2° and 1°.
