Lighting System Headlamp Light Guide Segmentation

The patent divides the light guide into multiple segments corresponding to individual LED positions. Each light guide segment independently channels light from its associated LED, allowing precise control of light distribution patterns. This segmentation enables creation of homogeneous light images with strong contrasts using fewer total LEDs, resolving the contradiction between device simplicity and light quality precision.

The patent merges multiple light guide functions into a single integrated light guide structure. Instead of using separate modules that occupy additional space, the light guide is designed with integrated optical elements that combine the functions of multiple modules while maintaining compact form factor. This reduces installation space requirements while preserving the ability to produce high-quality light images with strong contrasts.

The patent implements a dynamic optical system where the light guide can be positioned at variable distances from the LED module along the optical axis. This dynamic positioning capability allows the system to adapt to different masking requirements and object distances. By enabling continuous adjustment of the light guide position, the system achieves versatile angle coverage while maintaining precise object position determination through controlled optical geometry.
