Abstract
A lighting module for a motor vehicle headlight including at least one light source and optical elements for forming at least one light pattern, characterized in that each light pattern is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion which are lit simultaneously and inseparably, the upper portion being delimited transversely by two vertical edges for each of which the light intensity decreases according to a first determined gradient, and the lower portion being delimited transversely by two vertical edges for each of which the light intensity decreases according to a second determined gradient lower than the first determined gradient.
Claims19
A lighting module for a motor vehicle headlight comprising a plurality of light sources and a primary optical element for forming a plurality of light patterns, wherein:
- each light pattern is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion which are lit simultaneously and inseparably, the upper portion being delimited transversely by two vertical edges for each of which the light intensity decreases according to a first determined gradient, and the lower portion being delimited transversely by two vertical edges for each of which the light intensity decreases according to a second determined gradient lower than said first determined gradient,
- the plurality of light patterns are contiguously aligned transversely and controlled independently of one another to participate in the formation of a pixel light beam,
- the primary optical element is associated with the plurality of light sources each of which is associated with one of the plurality of light patterns, the primary optical element comprising a light output face and a plurality of adjacent light guides each associated with one of the light sources, and
- wherein the lower portions of the light patterns are produced by joining a corresponding part of the lateral faces of the adjacent light guides to form a forming layer, the upper portions of the light patterns being produced by a portion of the lateral faces of the light guides separated transversely from one another.
