Abstract
The invention concerns a vehicle headlight, comprising a two-dimensional array () of a plurality of electronic light emitter elements (), which are arranged for emitting a plurality of parallel light beams (), a collection lens (), which is provided one focal length away essentially parallel to the two-dimensional array and positioned for receiving the light emitted by the array, and a control electronic for the light emitter elements operatively associated for energizing the light emitter elements () individually or in groups. This results in a headlight with variable light emission characteristics, which is mechanically particularly simple to construct, is operationally reliable, and is rapid to react.
