Definitions
- the invention relates to a projection device for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the projection device is configured to image light of at least one light source associated with the projection device in an area in front of a motor vehicle in the form of at least one light distribution, namely a low-beam light distribution, wherein the projection device comprises:
- an entrance optic comprising a total number of micro entrance optics (3a), which are preferably arranged in an array,
- an exit optics comprising a total number of micro exit optics (4a), which are preferably arranged in an array, wherein each micro entrance optic is associated with exactly one micro exit optic, wherein the micro entrance optics are formed and / or the micro entrance optics Entry optics and the micro-exit optics are arranged such that substantially all the light emerging from a micro-entry optics light only enters the associated micro-exit optics, and wherein the pre-formed by the micro-entry optics of the micro-exit optics in a range in front of the motor vehicle as at least one light distribution is imaged, wherein each micro-entry optics focuses the light passing through them into at least one micro-entry optical focus, the micro-entry optical focus is between the micro-entry optics and the associated micro exit optics, wherein between the micro-entry optics un d the micro-exit optics at least one aperture device is arranged, in each case at least by the micro-entry optics, the associated micro exit optics and the intervening at least one
- the invention further relates to a microprojection light module for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising at least one inventive
- Projection device and at least one light source for feeding light into the projection device are provided.
- the invention relates to a vehicle headlight, in particular motor vehicle headlight, comprising at least one microprojection light module according to the invention.
- the document AT 514967 Bl has become known from the prior art, which shows a projection device of the type mentioned in the introduction. Therein is shown a projection device having a number of micro-entry optics and micro-exit optics with aperture devices disposed between the micro-entry and exit optics.
- a projection device having a number of micro-entry optics and micro-exit optics with aperture devices disposed between the micro-entry and exit optics.
- aperture devices disposed between the micro-entry and exit optics.
- the disadvantage of this is that shading element darkens the shaded area strongly and a consistently uniform brightness transition to non-darkened areas could not be realized with such a shading element.
- the area shaded in the light image was previously clearly visible to the naked eye as a local minimum of the intensity of the light distribution and thus adversely affected the overall impression of the light distribution. It is an object of the invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art. This object is achieved with a projection device of the aforementioned type, in which, according to the invention, the total number of low-beam micro-optics comprises at least two groups of low-beam micro-optics, namely
- a second group of low-beam micro-optics having at least one second variant of diaphragm devices, wherein the embodiment of the second variant of diaphragm devices at least differs from the embodiment of the first variant of diaphragm devices by the second variant of diaphragm devices
- An optically effective diaphragm edge is understood to mean a diaphragm edge which engages in the image of the light distribution for limiting the same.
- the wording "essentially all the light emerging " means that it is intended to irradiate at least the majority of the total luminous flux that emerges from a micro-entry optic only in the associated micro-exit optics. In particular, it must be ensured that no luminous flux is introduced into the adjacent micro-outlet To radiate optics in such a way that thereby no adverse optical effects, such as stray light, which can lead to glare, etc., arise.
- micro-entrance optics being designed in this way and / or the micro-entry optics and the micro-exit optics being arranged relative to one another
- additional measures such as apertures (see below) may be provided either exclusively or preferably in addition to their actual function, they still have the function that the entire luminous flux is directed precisely to the associated micro-exit optics.
- both the focal lengths and the dimensions of the micro-optics per se are significantly less than with a "conventional" optic As a result, the depth of the projection device can be significantly reduced compared to conventional optics.
- the luminous flux can be increased or scaled, wherein an upper limit with regard to the number of micro-optics systems is limited primarily by the respectively available production methods.
- a low beam function e.g. 200 to 400 micro-optical systems suffice or be favorable, this being neither a limiting value to describe above or below, but only an exemplary number.
- Such a light module is also scalable, ie, it is possible to combine a plurality of identical or similarly constructed light modules to form a larger overall system, for example to a vehicle headlight.
- the lens In a conventional projection system with a projection lens, the lens has typical diameters between 60 mm and 90 mm.
- the individual micro-optical systems In a module according to the invention, the individual micro-optical systems have typical dimensions of approximately 2 mm ⁇ 2 mm (in V and H) and a depth (in Z, see, for example, FIG. 2) of approximately 6 mm-10 mm, so that in the Z direction results in a much smaller depth of a module according to the invention 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 formable, i. it is e.g. it is possible 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 make it relatively free, i. arranged vertically and / or horizontally and / or offset in depth to each other, so that design specifications can be realized easier.
- a light module according to the invention or a projection device Another advantage of a light module according to the invention or a projection device is that the exact positioning of the light source (s) with respect to the projection device is eliminated. Precise positioning is less critical in that the distance of the illumination unit to the microlens array does not have to be exact. Now, however, since the micro-entry and micro-exit optics are already optimally matched to one another, since they form a quasi-system, an inaccurate positioning of the real light source (s) is less significant.
- the real light sources are, for example, approximately point-like light sources such as e.g. Light-emitting diodes whose light is collimated by collimators such as Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPC) or TIR (Total Inner Reflection) lenses.
- CPC Compound Parabolic Concentrators
- TIR Total Inner Reflection
- the projection device or the light module may also contain additional micro-optics systems, with the help of which generates other types of light distributions than a low-beam distribution.
- a certain type of the light distribution is understood to mean a light distribution generated according to relevant standards, for example a light distribution according to UN / ECE regulations in the European Union states, in particular regulations 123 and 48, or relevant standards in the other countries or regions .
- the term "road surface” is used in the following only for the sake of simplicity, because of course it depends on the local conditions whether the light image is actually on the roadway or extends beyond it, for example to test the radiated light distributions, one creates one Projection of the photograph onto a vertical surface in accordance with relevant standards, for example, in accordance with Regulations No.
- the first group has shading elements.
- the independent claim of the present invention does not mean that the first group must be free of shading elements, but that the second group has at least a second variant of aperture device, which differs from the first variant, for example by a different type of shading elements is provided , Of course, the first group, however, also be free of shading elements.
- each group forming a different light distribution which is selected, for example, from one of the following light distributions:
- each low-beam micro-optics which has a diaphragm device of the second variant, has exactly one shading element projecting along a section of the course of the diaphragm edge.
- the shading element preferably extends in the vertical direction in order to shade the point "50L" of the light distribution, although of course other shading elements may be provided which do not protrude from the diaphragm edge.
- protrusion from the diaphragm edge is understood to mean that the diaphragm edge can still be seen as the diaphragm edge for a low-beam light distribution as such.
- the longitudinal extent of the diaphragm edge which is composed of rectilinear diaphragm edge portions, which are inclined horizontally or obliquely, is thus interrupted by the protruding shading element.
- the diaphragm edge in the region of a completely opaque shading element is no longer recognizable, since this due to the presence of the protruding shading element in this area no longer visible as an edge.
- the diaphragm edge continues again (visually visible) before and after the shading element.
- each Abbleriumtmikrooptik having a diaphragm device of the second variant exactly one of the diaphragm edge spaced shading element, which is completely enclosed by a light-transmissive region of the diaphragm device comprises.
- These shading elements may be arranged to effect shading within the segment 10 of a low beam distribution.
- a correspondingly homogeneous and uniform darkening within the segment 10 can be created, for example, by selecting a suitable number and dimensioning of dimming micro-optics with these shading elements.
- the at least one diaphragm device is connected to a light-transmissive carrier, which is coated on its surface for forming a predefinable light distribution with an at least partially opaque material.
- the at least partially opaque layer may e.g. be applied by means of a lithographic process.
- another aperture device e.g. to avoid stray light, be provided.
- At least individual shading elements of the diaphragm device of the second variant are completely opaque to light.
- the configuration of the total shading can be varied by suitable selection of the number and the design of the shading elements.
- individual shading elements of the diaphragm device of the second variant for limiting the luminous intensity of the light distribution in a 50 L Measuring point are provided.
- the 50L measurement point is at an angle 3.43 * to the left (L) and 0.86 ° downward (D).
- FMVSS is a measuring point without special designation at 0,86D 3,5L.
- the individual shading elements are arranged such that they shade a region of the light distribution emitted by the respective low-beam micro-optics, the region comprising a horizontal angle of a maximum of 5 ° and a vertical angle of not more than 5 °.
- the shaded area could include a horizontal and vertical angle of (1 ° or 2 °) to 5 ° and could be circular, for example.
- the size of at least one shading element of a diaphragm device of the second variant deviates from the size of at least one shading element of a further diaphragm device of the second variant.
- size is understood to mean the area over which the respective shading element extends, either the shape can be scaled, or, alternatively, the shapes of the shading elements may differ, that is, represent different geometric figures.
- individual shading elements of the diaphragm device of the second variant are provided for limiting the luminous intensity of the light distribution in the segment 10 of the low-beam light distribution.
- segment 10 is meant a line at -4 ° (-4D) between 4.5 ° L and 2R °.
- individual shading elements are arranged in such a way that they shade a region of the light distribution emitted by the respective low-beam micro-optics, the region comprising a horizontal angle of a maximum of 10 ° and a vertical angle of not more than 3 °.
- the width can therefore be, for example, a maximum of 10 ° and the height, for example, between 1 ° and 3 °.
- This shading element can thus be designed as a floating bar, wherein the dimensions of the individual shading elements can vary to produce a homogeneous transition.
- the production of these shading elements by means of lithographic processes is particularly advantageous.
- the carrier of the at least one diaphragm device consists of glass.
- the entry optics and the exit optics are firmly connected to at least one carrier of the diaphragm device arranged between the entry optics and the exit optics.

- the total number of low-beam optical micro-optics comprises a third group of low-beam micro-optics with diaphragm devices of a third variant, in the case of the diaphragm device of the third variant
- At least one at least partially transparent window for forming a lying above the light-dark boundary light distribution is formed.
- This above the light-dark border area is thus illuminated, so that, for example, traffic signs are more visible.
- This light function is often referred to as "sign-light", wherein the intensity of the illumination in this area can be determined by the design of the translucent window as well as by the number of low-beam micro-optics of the third variant that of the first or second variant possible.
- different low-beam micro-optics eg at least two differently shaped aperture devices or (eg at least two) shading elements have different sizes, wherein the shadowed by the shading elements photometric area overlaps at least partially.
- This can apply to the shading elements of the first, the second and / or the third variant or group.
- the shadowed Photometric region of the smaller shading element is completely included in the shadowed photometric region of the next larger shading element or the shading elements may be formed such that this effect occurs.

In bad weather this can be much higher than in Class C. If you place consciously behind a collimator only segment 10 lines, the affected collimator can be switched on in bad weather, but a collimator without segment 10 lines in the associated systems are switched off. This keeps the total luminous flux, but the segment 10 line is reduced in the overall light distribution. Exactly the opposite can be done with the 50L measuring point.
