  • Patent number: 11732859
    Abstract: A headlamp for a vehicle configured to generate a lighting region (3) in front of the vehicle comprises: a fixed matrix-array first light source configured to emit a high beam, a movable second light source configured to emit a low beam, a correcting mechanism configured to keep a vertical inclination of the low beam constant with respect to a reference horizontal line, when the vehicle is in motion, and a dioptric prism configured to remove at least one shadow region that may occur, in said lighting region, between the high beam and the low beam.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023
    Assignee: PSA AUTOMOBILES SA

  • Patent number: 10821879
    Abstract: A vehicle equipped with analysing means that analyse a zone (ZA) located in front of the vehicle is equipped with a lighting device (DE). This device (DE) comprises: —a first source (S1) that generates first photons and a reflector (RP) that reflects the first photons toward the zone (ZA) so that they form a first light beam (F1) that performs a photometric lighting function, —a second source (S2) that is installed in front of a central portion (PC) of the reflector (RP) and that generates second photons, —a lens (LF) that is inserted between the second source (S2) and the zone (ZA), that is positionable in various positions, and that forms, with the second photons, a second light beam (F2) that is narrow and that points toward a sub-zone of the zone (ZA) that depends on a set lens position, and—controlling means (MC) that set the position of the lens in case of detection of an obstacle in a sub-zone of known position.
