VEHICLE HEADLAMP HAVING A LIGHTING FUNCTION SITUATED BEHIND A SIGNALLING FUNCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027046 titled 'VEHICLE HEADLAMP HAVING A LIGHTING FUNCTION SITUATED BEHIND A SIGNALLING FUNCTION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle headlamp that consists of a housing with a transparent outer lens. Inside the housing, there is a lighting module that emits a light beam in a specific direction defined by an optical axis. A transparent screen is positioned between the lighting module and the outer lens, which receives the light beam emitted by a light source. The internal face of the screen is equipped with optical modules that reflect the light in the direction of the outer lens. The outer lens forms an angle of 60 to 100 degrees with the optical axis, while the screen forms a second angle that allows a portion of the light beam situated below the optical axis to be reflected by the screen above the lighting module.
- The vehicle headlamp includes a housing with a transparent outer lens.
- Inside the housing, there is a lighting module that emits a light beam in a specific direction.
- A transparent screen is positioned between the lighting module and the outer lens.
- The screen receives the light beam emitted by a light source.
- The internal face of the screen is equipped with optical modules that reflect the light in the direction of the outer lens.
- The outer lens forms an angle of 60 to 100 degrees with the optical axis.
- The screen forms a second angle that allows a portion of the light beam situated below the optical axis to be reflected by the screen above the lighting module.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: The vehicle headlamp can be used in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc.
- Road safety: The improved lighting module and screen design can enhance visibility for drivers, improving safety on the road.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient light distribution: The optical modules and screen design ensure that the light beam is properly directed and distributed, maximizing visibility for the driver.
- Glare reduction: By reflecting a portion of the light beam below the optical axis, the screen helps reduce glare for oncoming drivers, improving overall road safety.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced visibility: The improved light distribution and reduced glare contribute to better visibility for the driver, especially in low-light conditions.
- Improved safety: By providing a clearer and more focused light beam, the headlamp helps drivers see obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles more easily, reducing the risk of accidents.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle headlamp includes a housing closed by a transparent outer lens and, inside the housing, a lighting module that emits a light beam in the direction of an optical axis defining a cone of light and a transparent screen that is positioned between the lighting module and the outer lens and receives, in its thickness, a light beam emitted by a light source. an internal face of the screen is provided with optical modules that reflect the light emitted by the light source in the direction of the outer lens. the outer lens forms a first angle of 60 to 100� with the optical axis of the lighting module and the screen forms a second angle such that a part of the cone of light of the light beam that is situated beneath the optical axis is reflected by the screen above the lighting module.
