Definitions

  • the invention further relates to a micro-projection light module for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising at least one projection device according to the invention and at least one light source for feeding light into the projection device.
  • the invention further relates to a vehicle headlight, in particular a motor vehicle headlight, comprising at least one micro-projection light module according to the invention.
  • the document for example, is from the prior art AT 514967 B1 has become known, which shows a projection device of the type mentioned.
  • a projection device is shown therein which has a number of micro-entry optics and micro-exit optics, with diaphragm devices being arranged between the micro-entry and exit optics.
  • the light distribution in the focal plane is cut by a beam diaphragm. With a low beam distribution, the light above the cut-off line is absorbed or reflected in order to prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled.
  • the translucent windows provided according to the invention, light can be directed into the scattering area, which is provided, for example, for illuminating traffic signs, the intensity of the lighting in this area being able to be achieved by selecting a suitable number and design of the windows or the screen devices of the second variant .
  • An optically effective diaphragm edge is understood to mean a diaphragm edge which engages in the image of the light distribution to delimit the same.
  • essentially all of the ... emerging light means that efforts are made to radiate at least the majority of the total luminous flux that emerges from a micro-entry optic solely into the associated micro-exit optic. In particular, care should be taken not to radiate any luminous flux into the neighboring micro-exit optics in such a way that this does not result in any disadvantageous optical effects, such as scattered light which can lead to glare, etc.
  • the wording “where the micro-entry optics are designed in such a way and / or the micro-entry optics and the micro-exit optics are arranged in relation to one another” also mean that additional measures, such as diaphragms (see FIG further below) can be provided, which either exclusively or preferably in addition to their actual function also have the function that the entire luminous flux is directed precisely onto the assigned micro-exit optics.
  • both the focal lengths and the dimensions of the micro-optics are per se significantly smaller than with "conventional" optics.
  • the center thickness can also be reduced compared to conventional optics.
  • the overall depth of the projection device can be significantly reduced compared to conventional optics.
  • the luminous flux can be increased or scaled, with an upper limit with regard to the number of micro-optic systems being primarily limited by the manufacturing processes available in each case. For example, 200 to 400 micro-optic systems can be sufficient or favorable for generating a low beam function, although this is not intended to describe a limiting value upwards or downwards, but merely an exemplary number.
  • the multitude of micro-optics can be used to introduce micro-optics with different optical behavior into a projection system in order to generate or superimpose different light distributions. The multitude of micro-optics also allows design options that are not available with conventional optics.
  • Such a light module is also scalable, i.e. several identical or similarly structured light modules can be combined to form a larger overall system, e.g. a vehicle headlight.
  • the lens typically has a diameter of between 60 mm and 90 mm.
  • the individual micro-optic systems have typical dimensions of approximately 2 mm ⁇ 2 mm (in V and H) and a depth (in Z, see e.g. Figure 2 ) of approx. 6 mm - 10 mm, so that a module according to the invention has a significantly smaller depth in the Z direction compared to conventional modules.
  • the light module according to the invention or the projection device can have a small overall depth and are basically freely shapable, ie it is possible, for example, to design a first light module for generating a first partial light distribution separately from a second light module for a second partial light distribution and to design this relatively freely, ie vertically and / or to be arranged horizontally and / or offset from one another in terms of depth, so that design specifications can also be implemented more easily.
  • a light module or a projection device Another advantage of a light module or a projection device according to the invention is that the exact positioning of the light source (s) in relation to the projection device is not necessary. Exact positioning is less critical insofar as the distance between the lighting unit and the microlens array does not have to be exact. Now that the micro-entry and micro-exit optics have already been optimally matched to one another, since they form a system, an inexact positioning of the real light source (s) is less important.
  • the real light sources are, for example, approximately point-like light sources such as light-emitting diodes, whose light is directed parallel by collimators such as compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) or TIR lenses (total inner reflection).
  • the projection device or the light module can also contain additional micro-optic systems with the aid of which other types of light distributions than a low beam distribution are generated.
  • "A certain type" of light distribution is understood to mean a light distribution generated in accordance with relevant standards, for example light distribution in accordance with standards of the UN / ECE regulations in the states of the European Union, in particular regulations 123 and 48, or relevant standards in the other countries or regions .
  • Examples of such light distributions include the document AT 514967 B1 removable.
  • individual low beam micro-optics of the second variant are designed in such a way that the light distribution above the light-dark boundary is spaced from the light-dark boundary at a vertical angle between 0.5 ° and 2 °. All low beam micro-optics of the second variant could also be designed in this way.
  • individual (or all) low-beam micro-optics of the second variant are designed in such a way that the light distribution above the light-dark border spreads over a horizontal angular range between 10 ° and 50 ° and over a vertical angular range between 2 ° and 10 ° extends.
  • the at least partially transparent window of individual low beam micro-optics of the second variant has a substantially rectangular shape.
  • the course of the upper edge of the window can differ slightly in that it runs parallel to an optically effective edge of the diaphragm device, that is to say parallel to the light-dark border.
  • the at least partially transparent window of individual low beam micro-optics of the second variant is U-shaped.
  • Different configurations of transparent windows of individual screen devices can also be superimposed on one another so that the light distribution of the sign light can be optimized in a targeted manner - for example, homogenized.
  • the at least transparent window of individual low beam micro-optics of the second variant is completely transparent or only partially transparent.
  • the windows of individual low-beam micro-optics or the associated diaphragm devices can also differ from one another in terms of their shape and / or transparency. For example, it can be provided that individual windows overlap, but differ in size from one another. You are therefore responsible for shading areas that photometrically overlap each other.
  • the at least one screen device is connected to a carrier, the carrier being made of glass.
  • the entrance optics as well as the exit optics are firmly connected to at least one support of the diaphragm device arranged between the entrance optics and the exit optics. This way, undesired influences - e.g. due to thermal expansion - can be minimized and a permanent and exact positioning of the entrance optics in relation to the entrance optics and vice versa can be ensured.
  • the fixed connection of the entrance optics and the exit optics with the at least one carrier is each designed as a transparent adhesive connection.
  • the invention further relates to a micro-projection light module for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising at least one projection device according to the invention and at least one light source for feeding light into the projection device.
  • An LED light source is preferably assigned to each low beam micro-optics.

  • micro-entry optics 3a are designed and / or the micro-entry optics 3a and the micro-exit optics 4a are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that essentially all of the light exiting from a micro-entry optics 3a only enters the assigned micro-exit optics 4a, and wherein the light preformed by the micro-entry optics 3a is imaged by the micro-exit optics 4a in an area in front of the motor vehicle as at least one light distribution.
  • Each micro-entry optics 3a is designed in such a way that the micro-entry optics 3a focuses the light passing through it into at least one micro-entry optics focal point, the micro-entry optics focal point between the micro-entry optics 3a and the associated micro-exit optics 4a lies, with at least one diaphragm device 8a (see FIG Figure 3 ) is arranged, with a low beam micro-optics being formed in each case by at least the micro-entry optics 3a, the associated micro-exit optics 4a and the at least one diaphragm device 8a between them.
  • the at least one diaphragm device 8a is set up in such a way to limit the light distribution imaged by the respective micro-exit optics 4a that the light distribution emitted by the micro-exit optics 4a forms a portion of the low-beam light distribution, the diaphragm device 8a for this purpose having at least one of the course of a bright- Optically effective diaphragm edge K (see Figures 4a , 5a and 6a).
  • Figures 2 (a) to 2 (d) show a schematic representation of individual steps of a method for producing a projection device 1 according to the invention for a motor vehicle headlight, the projection device 1 being set up to image light from at least one light source 2 assigned to the projection device 1 in an area in front of a motor vehicle in the form of at least one light distribution.
  • Figure 2 (a) shows a carrier 5 with a first flat side 5a on which in FIG Figure 2 (b) a first screen device 8a, for example by screen printing or metallic vapor deposition, is applied, the carrier 5 at least partially consisting of glass.
  • Figure 2 (c) shows the next step b) of the method, namely the fastening of an entrance optic 3, which has a number of micro entrance optics 3a, which are preferably arranged in an array, on the first flat side 5a of the carrier 5, the entrance optics 3 being the first diaphragm device 8a is at least partially covered and arranged in such a way that light can at least partially enter the carrier 5 via the entrance optics 3 through the first aperture device 8a, and the entrance optics 3 are fastened to the first flat side 5a of the carrier 5 by means of a translucent adhesive.
