Optical system for vehicle headlamp with intensity hotspot
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000556B2) discloses an innovative optical system designed for use in the headlamp of a motor vehicle. The system includes condenser optics, reflective shields, and imaging optics to focus incoming light beams and create a cut-off line of outgoing light beams. One of the reflective shields features a kink at the edge facing the imaging optics, contributing to an intensity hotspot on one side of the cut-off line. The arrangement of the components ensures efficient light projection and distribution in front of the headlamp.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and features of the optical system, such as the positioning of reflective shields between the condenser and imaging optics, the use of absorbing shields to prevent crosstalk between light channels, and the integration of collimating optics for collimated incoming light beams. The inclusion of specific lens designs, such as axially symmetrical, astigmatic, or free-form surfaces, enhances the performance of the system. Additionally, the presence of absorbing shields and a mesh structure further optimizes the light distribution of outgoing beams. The incorporation of a kink in the reflective shields allows for adjustments in the light distribution, showcasing the versatility and adaptability of the patented optical system for headlamp applications.
