Definitions

  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle headlight provided with such an optical module.
  • the displacement follows a periodic function substantially in time slots.
  • the upper 16 and lower plates 17 of the slots correspond to the holding time in each of the two extreme positions, and the slopes 18 each joining a high plate 16 to a low plate 17 correspond to the transition time.
  • the hold time lasts about four times longer than the hold time. transition.
  • the holding time is at least four times longer than the transition time, preferably at least twenty times, more preferably at least fifty times.
  • the angle of resolution of the shadow area is reduced to 0.5 °.
  • the shadow zones 21 can only appear on certain components with a resolution angle of 0.5 °, an additional component always being on. More precisely, only one component of a resolution angle of 0.5 ° out of two of the beam can appear extinct.
  • the mechanical actuator 5 is configured to periodically move the source assembly 2 between an intermediate position and another position at choose from two extreme positions opposite to the intermediate position.
  • the periodic displacement between the intermediate position and the first extreme position makes it possible to reveal a shadow zone with a resolution angle of 0.5 ° on the beam with an inactive light source.
  • the periodic displacement between the intermediate position and the second extreme position makes it possible to reveal an additional shadow zone with a resolution angle of 0.5 ° on the beam with the same inactive light source. Consequently, the axis of the beam is periodically oriented between an intermediate direction and a second direction chosen from two extreme directions corresponding to the movement of the source element 2.
  • the device 1 comprises a mirror 9 configured to reflect the light beam coming from the source assembly 2 towards the projection lens 3.
  • the mechanical actuator 5 moves the mirror 9, either in translation when the mirror 9 is the only one element to be moved, either in rotation when it moves together with the source assembly 2.
  • the description presents examples of the invention of a resolution angle divided by two.
  • the device could be adapted so as to further divide the beam resolution angle.
  • the actuator 5 is configured to periodically move at least one of the elements of the device 1 to three positions.
  • the frequency of displacement of the beam is therefore chosen so that the displacement is not perceptible to an observer. In the three-directional example, the frequency is at least 60Hz.
