- the lowermost LED row 303 couples the light into the light guide elements 303a of the high-beam row 313 of the optical attachment 304.
- the apron row 311, the asymmetry row 312 and the high beam row 313 together form a high beam distribution in the activated state.
- the LEDs 300 are energized more strongly in a central area 307 than in the edge areas 308 to the left and to the right of the central area 307, which is why the maximum of the light distribution lies in the central area 307.
- the vertical spacing between the LEDs 300 of the rows 301 and 302 is always constant (Fig. the LEDs 300 of the front row row always have the same vertical distance from the LEDs of the row of asymmetry.
- the arrangement according to the invention of the LED light sources 300 of FIG. 1 c thus differs from the arrangement according to the prior art (FIG. 1 a) in that the vertical distance between the LED light sources 300 is assigned to the row 303 (associated with the high beam row 313) and the LED light sources 300 of the upwardly adjacent LED array 302 (assigned to the asymmetry row 312) in the lateral edge regions 308 of the light field 309 is smaller than in a central region 307 of the light field 309. In other words, the vertical distance between the light sources 300 increases the high beam row and the
- Edge regions 308 of the luminous field 309 successively from.
- the horizontal distance between adjacent LED light sources 300 in the edge regions 308 of all three LED rows 301, 302, 303 in this embodiment increases towards the row edge.
- the individual rows 301, 302 and 303 are also different in length.
- the LED light sources 300 are arranged asymmetrically with respect to an optical axis 310.
- Headlight module is the board on which the LED light sources 300 are mounted, usually a common part.
- the board is installed the same way in the left and right headlights for a motor vehicle.
- the attachment optics 30 are available in mirror symmetry
- An imaging optics provided in the light emission direction is then again a common part, but becomes, e.g. with the help of a lens holder, mirror-symmetrically shifted.
- the difference in the construction of the attachment optics 30 to the attachment optics 10 or 20 described above lies in the fact that the light guide elements 301a, 302a, 303a are likewise displaced horizontally correspondingly due to the additional horizontal displacement of the LEDs 300 in the edge regions 308 (see FIG. 3).
- the LED light sources 300 of the LED rows 301 and 302 and the LED light sources 300 in the central area 307 of the LED row 303 are consequently positioned so that they receive the light in the center of the light coupling surface 301b, 302b, 303b of the respective light guide element 301a, 302a , 303a.
- the LED light sources 300 in the edge regions 308 of the LED array 303 i.e., associated with the high beam row 313) are, according to the invention, out of the center of the light coupling surface 303b of the respective one
- Asymmetry row 312 shifted.
- the light guide elements 201a, 202a, 203a or 301a, 302a, 303a shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be made, for example, of silicone, plastic, glass or any other materials suitable for light conduction.
- the light-guiding elements 201a, 202a, 203a and 301a, 302a, 303a are designed as solid bodies and consist of a single continuous optical medium, wherein the light conduit takes place within this medium.
- the LEDs 200 and 300 may be, for example, Oslon compact LEDs with light-emitting areas of 0.5 ⁇ 0.5 mm 2 .
- the entire arrangement is about 10 cm wide.
- the invention may be modified in any manner known to those skilled in the art and is not limited to the embodiment shown. Also, individual aspects of the invention can be taken up and largely combined with each other. Essential are the ideas underlying the invention, which in view of this doctrine can be performed by a person skilled in many ways and still remain maintained as such.
