Abstract
A headlamp for a vehicle includes a light source adapted to emit a spotlight, a lens adapted to receive and transmit the spotlight, a lens actuator adapted to adjust a size of the spotlight transmitted through the lens, a two-dimensional optical deflector adapted to deflect the spotlight from the lens to an illumination area ahead of the vehicle, and a control circuit configured to control the lens actuator in such a way that irregularity of illumination in the illumination area is avoided.
