Abstract
An illumination device for vehicles with a first light module for producing a first light distribution and with a second light module for producing a second light distribution. The second light module has numerous semiconductor-based light sources arranged as a matrix, a primary optics unit with primary optical elements assigned to each of the light sources and a secondary optics unit. An intermediary optics unit is arranged between the primary optics unit and the secondary optics unit of the second light module; the intermediary optics unit is designed so that a light-intensity gradient of the second light distribution gradually diminishes in a vertical and/or horizontal direction in a lower subarea, in which the first light distribution of the first light module connects or overlaps with an upper subarea.
Claims9
An illumination device for vehicles comprising:
- a first light module for producing a first light distribution;
- and
- a second light module for producing a second light distribution, said second light module including:
- numerous semiconductor-based light sources arranged as a matrix,
- a primary optics unit with at least one primary optical element assigned to each of the light sources and
- a secondary optics unit;
- wherein an intermediary optics unit is arranged between the primary optics unit and the secondary optics unit of the second light module;
- wherein said intermediary optics unit is configured in such a way that a light-intensity gradient of the second light distribution gradually diminishes in at least one of a vertical and horizontal direction in a lower subarea (T), in which the first light distribution of the first light module connects or overlaps with an upper subarea.
