A temperature control module includes a separation element having a closed middle section and heat-conducting elements on two sides of the middle section, as well as a conveying device for air. The conveying device is designed as an integrated twin fan, which on the one hand conveys ambient air from the one side of the middle section and on the other hand conveys ambient air from the other side of the middle section to the separation element. The middle section has a Peltier element or is designed as such. The temperature control module can be used in a headlight for cooling and/or heating its internal volume.

A micro-lens array projection device has at least one light source, a field lens array, a projection lens array, and a pattern template arranged in a light beam path coming from the light source between the field lens array and the projection lens array for generating a light pattern from the light emitted by the light source. The pattern template is formed by a microslide array having at least two microslides. At least one microslide can be moved by at least one actuator in a plane located perpendicular to an optical axis between the field lens array and the projection lens array.

A cooling module includes a cooling element having a closed central part and heat-conducting elements on two sides of the central part, as well as a feeding apparatus for air. The feeding apparatus is designed as an integrated twin fan which, on the one hand, feeds ambient air from one side of the central part and, on the other hand, feeds ambient air from the other side of the central part to the cooling element.

Cooling module and headlight

A vehicle lighting device includes at least one headlight, a position and/or acceleration sensor, and a control unit for adjusting a light/dark boundary of the headlight. Pitch movements of the vehicle can be detected by the position and/or acceleration sensor, and a change in the light/dark boundary due to the respective pitch movement can be compensated for by the control unit. The position and/or acceleration sensor and the control unit are arranged in the headlight or directly on the headlight.

A method and a device for adjusting a light distribution of a vehicle headlight having a control unit for adjusting the light distribution. The headlight includes a number of light sources. The control unit includes an interface configured for receiving user-specified parameters for adjusting and/or modifying an illuminance distribution within the light distribution.

Method for determining control parameters for light sources of a vehicle headlamp

A control device for a headlight for emitting light according to a headlight signal corresponding to an adjustable light distribution. The control device outputs the headlight signal, corresponding to the adjustable light distribution, to the headlight. The control device has an evaluation unit that determines object position data of the object when particles are detected using a detection unit and a self-illuminating object is detected, and to determine, as a function of the object position data, a region in which the object is located. The evaluation unit also generates data for the light distribution as a function of the region in such a way that a light intensity in the region is reduced or increased with respect to a light intensity outside this region, and correspondingly to determine and output the headlight signal from the data for the light distribution.

Control device for a headlight and method for operating a headlight

A device for adjusting the light distribution of a vehicle headlight with a plurality of light sources, includes a first control unit for adjusting the light distribution. The first control unit is coupled to a second control unit, the second control unit being coupled to at least one input device for inputting user settings for adjusting the light distribution in a user -defined manner and/or includes at least one interface for coupling to at least one input device of this type, the second control unit generating control data from the user settings and transmitting the control data to the first control unit in order to adjust the light distribution.

Device and method for adjusting the light distribution of a headlight

A device and a method for controlling at least one headlight for a motor vehicle involve a control apparatus, at least one sensor configured to detect information about objects in a surrounding area of the motor vehicle and to supply the detected information to the control apparatus. The headlight can be adjusted by the control apparatus depending on at least one detected object. A range between at least one light source and at least one lens of the headlight can be adjusted by the control apparatus in order to adapt a projection of the light source to the at least one detected object.

Device and method for controlling a headlight

A sensor system and method for detecting particles, in particular dirt particles or water droplets on a vehicle windscreen, comprising an optical sensor (). The sensor () operates on the basis of light transit time and receives light signals (S) that are emitted by an emitter element and that are at least partially reflected, wherein the emitter element and the sensor () are located and aligned on the exterior of the vehicle, on or in the vicinity of a tailgate, hatchback or trunk lid () of said vehicle () in such a way that particles on the tailgate, hatchback or trunk lid () can be detected by means of the sensor () by sensing the part of light signals (S) emitted by the emitter element that is backscattered by the particles.
