Embodiment Construction

[0057] The invention relates to the field of motor vehicle headlights. exist Figure 19 Such a headlight is shown by way of example in , and is indicated as a whole by the reference numeral 1 . The headlight 1 contains a headlight housing 2 which is preferably made of plastic. In the light exit direction 3 , the housing 2 has a light exit opening 4 which is closed by a transparent cover 5 , preferably made of glass or transparent plastic. Of course, the housing 2 and the cover plate 5 can also be made of other materials different from the above materials. The cover plate 5 can have optically active elements, such as prisms or cylindrical lenses, in order to spread the penetrating light in the horizontal and / or vertical direction. However, it is also conceivable that the cover plate 5 is designed as a so-called clear disk without optically active elements.

[0058] Arranged within the headlight housing 2 is at least one projection module 10 according to the invention, the d...

Abstract

The invention relates to a headlight projection module (10) for a vehicle, which is used for generating preset light distribution. The headlight projection module (10) has a light source (11) for emitting light, a primary lens (12) for concentrating a part of the emitted light, and a secondary lens (14) for projecting a part of the concentrated light in a light emitting direction (3) of the projection module. In order to enable the headlight projection module (10) to realize maximally effective structure and to illuminate a non-circular secondary optical unit (14) as uniform as possible with the whole surface, it is suggested that an optically active micro-structure (24) that refracts light be arranged in the beam path of the concentrated light in a virtual object position of the secondary optical unit (14). The micro-structure (24) has dimensions of the function-determining structural elements (26, 27) in the micrometer range, especially a height difference of the single structural elements (26, 27).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a headlight projection module for a motor vehicle for generating a predetermined light distribution. The projection module contains: [0002] - a light source for emitting light; [0003] - a primary optical unit that bundles at least a portion of the emitted light; [0004] - A secondary optics unit which projects at least a part of the bundled light in the light emission direction of the projection module, for example onto a roadway ahead of the motor vehicle. Background technique [0005] New projection headlights now mainly use semiconductor light sources, especially light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as light sources. Light-emitting diodes, at least not yet, do not produce high luminous density values ​​such as occur in high-pressure gas discharge lamps. For this reason, light-emitting diodes are controllable in an extended dynamic range and can be operated at significantly lower temperatures. light is generated in the case ...
