Publication number: 20190195455Abstract: A headlight device includes a light source, a reflection mirror, a Fresnel lens and a blocking plate. The light source and the reflection mirror are disposed on a circuit board. After the light beam emitted from the light source is reflected by the reflection mirror, the light beam is gathered and projected to the Fresnel lens. By the means of the refraction through the Fresnel lens, a light shape which is applied to a vehicle is produced. The blocking plate is configured to produce a light shape with cut-off line.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Luan-Ying CHEN, Kao Der Chang

Publication number: 20190195456Abstract: A lighting device comprises a light-emitting module with light-emitting elements, wherein the light-emitting elements are arranged adjacent to each other and are configured to emit light towards a light-emitting side. The light-emitting module is configured such that the light-emitting elements can be addressed partially independently of each other, such that some may be brought into a switched-on state while others are brought into a switched-off state. A top layer is disposed on the light-emitting module at the light-emitting side. Further comprising a switching material capable of a reversible change in transmittance for the light emitted by changing to a higher transmittance in regions where the top layer situated on light-emitting elements in the switched-on state or to a lower transmittance in regions of the top layer situated in the switched-off state. The invention further refers to methods for producing and operating a lighting device and using a lighting device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: Lumileds Holding B.V.Inventors: Nicola Bettina PFEFFER, ARJEN VAN DER SIJDE, Marcel BOHMER
