Fig. 2. den erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeugscheinwerfer in Fig. 1 in einer Seiten­ ansicht mit verschiedenen Leuchtweiteneinstellungen. Fig. 2. The vehicle headlight according to the invention in Fig. 1 in a side view with different headlight range settings.

Der in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeugscheinwerfer 10 weist eine erste, zweite, dritte und vierte Zeile 12, 14, 16, 18 aus jeweils sechs Leuchtdioden 20 auf, die von dem Hersteller der Leuchtdioden 20 zu einem relativpositionierten Paket gebündelt worden sind, bei dem die Zeilen 12, 14, 16, 18 vertikal zueinander versetzt sind. Die Leuchtdioden 20 werden zeilen­ weise von einer Steuerung 22 angesteuert, welche in ein Gehäuse 24 des Fahrzeugscheinwerfers 10 integriert oder - wie gezeigt - separat dazu ange­ ordnet sein kann. The vehicle headlight 10 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a first, second, third and fourth row 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 each consisting of six light-emitting diodes 20 which have been bundled by the manufacturer of the light-emitting diodes 20 into a relatively positioned package, in which the rows 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 are vertically offset from one another. The LEDs 20 are driven line by line by a controller 22 , which is integrated in a housing 24 of the vehicle headlight 10 or - as shown - can be arranged separately.

Mit der Steuerung 22 ist es möglich, die Leuchtdioden 20 zeilenweise anzu­ steuern, wobei es möglich ist, unterschiedliche Hell-Dunkelgrenzen 26, 28, 30, 32 einzustellen. Wenn von der Steuerung 22 lediglich die sechs Leuchtdioden 20 der ersten Zeile 12 angesteuert werden, liegt die Hell-Dunkelgrenze 32 des vor einem Fahrzeug beleuchteten Bereiches 34 sehr niedrig und es wird auch nur ein sehr kurzer Bereich 34 vor dem Fahrzeugscheinwerfer 10 beleuchtet.With the control 22 it is possible to control the light-emitting diodes 20 line by line, it being possible to set different light-dark limits 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 . If only the six light-emitting diodes 20 of the first line 12 are controlled by the control 22 , the light-dark limit 32 of the area 34 illuminated in front of a vehicle is very low and only a very short area 34 in front of the vehicle headlight 10 is illuminated.

Werden die erste und die zweite Zeile 12, 14 gemeinsam angesteuert, liegt die Hell-Dunkelgrenze 30 höher und es wird ein Bereich 34' beleuchtet, welcher in der Fig. 2 sowohl durch die waagerechte als auch die senkrechte Schraffierung markiert ist. Eine Einstellung eines solchen beleuchteten Bereiches 34' ist ins­ besondere dann sinnvoll, wenn bei Niederschlägen eine andere Lichtverteilung zu einer Blendung des Fahrers durch Rückstreuung führen würde.If the first and the second line 12 , 14 are controlled together, the light-dark boundary 30 is higher and an area 34 'is illuminated, which is marked in FIG. 2 by both the horizontal and the vertical hatching. A setting of such an illuminated area 34 ′ is particularly useful when a different light distribution would cause glare to the driver due to backscattering during precipitation.

Werden die ersten drei Zeilen 12, 14, 16 angesteuert, ergibt sich eine normale Abblendlichtverteilung mit einer Hell-Dunkelgrenze 28 und einem weit nach vorne rechenden Bereich 34", der aus Gründen der Darstellbarkeit nicht voll­ ständig gezeigt ist.If the first three lines 12 , 14 , 16 are activated, there is a normal low beam distribution with a light-dark boundary 28 and a far forward area 34 ″, which is not shown continuously for reasons of illustration.

Die dritte Zeile 16 ist als geteilter Zusatzblock 36 ausgebildet, um eine asymmetrische Lichtverteilung zu bewirken und dabei eine asymmetrische Hell- Dunkelgrenze abzubilden.The third line 16 is designed as a split additional block 36 in order to effect an asymmetrical light distribution and to represent an asymmetrical light-dark boundary.

Werden alle vier Zeilen 12, 14, 16, 18 der Leuchtdioden 20 von der Steuerung 22 angesteuert, ergibt sich die Hell-Dunkelgrenze 26, wobei die Ausrichtung der Leuchtdioden 20 mit einer vorgesehenen Sekundäroptik 37 nach Unendlich weist und den Bereich 34''' beleuchtet.If all four lines 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 of the light-emitting diodes 20 are controlled by the control 22 , the light-dark boundary 26 results, the alignment of the light-emitting diodes 20 with an intended secondary optics 37 pointing to infinity and illuminating the area 34 ″ ″ ,

An der Oberseite des Gehäuses 24 ist ein Overhead-Block 38 mit zwei elektro­ optischen Elementen 40 ausgebildet, welche nach oben ausgerichtet sind, um Overhead-Anzeigen zu beleuchten. Der mit dem Overhead-Block 38 ausge­ leuchtete Raumwinkel 42 weist eine Spreizung von 10° auf. Der Overhead­ block 38 wird von der Steuerung 22 in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel automatisch angesteuert, wenn eine Anzeigendetektiervorrichtung eine Overhead-Anzeige nachweist. Zusätzlich ist eine manuelle Betätigung möglich.On the top of the housing 24 , an overhead block 38 is formed with two electro-optical elements 40 , which are aligned upwards to illuminate overhead displays. The solid angle 42 illuminated with the overhead block 38 has a spread of 10 °. The overhead block 38 is automatically controlled by the controller 22 in the exemplary embodiment shown if a display detection device detects an overhead display. Manual operation is also possible.

Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, daß die Ausgestaltungen der Leuchtdioden 20 und deren Ausrichtung so gewählt ist, daß, wenn mehr als eine Zeile 12, 14, 16, 18 angesteuert wird, sich die von diesen ausgehenden Lichtstrahlen in ihrer Wirkung überlagern. Ferner sei darauf hingewiesen, daß die Steuerung 22 die Leuchtdioden 20 in Abhängigkeit vom Beladezustand und der Fahrgeschwin­ digkeit des Fahrzeuges automatisch einstellt, wobei diese Einstellung benutzer­ definiert übersteuert werden kann. Der erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeug­ scheinwerfer wird vorzugsweise zusammen mit einem Scheinwerfer mit Glüh- oder Entladungslampe eingesetzt.It should also be pointed out that the configurations of the light-emitting diodes 20 and their alignment are selected such that when more than one line 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 is driven, the light rays emanating from them overlap in their effect. It should also be noted that the controller 22 automatically adjusts the light emitting diodes 20 as a function of the loading condition and the driving speed of the vehicle, this setting being able to be overridden in a user-defined manner. The vehicle headlight according to the invention is preferably used together with a headlight with incandescent or discharge lamp.
