Abstract
A method is provided for constructing an optical functional unit that has an optical component. The optical component has a surface, on which an opaque coating is applied, through which light passes. Portions of the opaque coating are removed from the surface forming at least one window through which the light from at least one light source can pass. A frame is provided that has at least two reference points. The optical component is placed on the frame. The reference points are detected on the frame with an optical sensor. The positions of the windows are calculated on the surface through which light passes in relation to the reference points with a control unit. Portions of the opaque coating are removed using a laser beam source to create the at least one window. The light module is placed in alignment with the reference points on the frame.
