Abstract
A lighting module and a headlamp for vehicle lighting are provided. The lighting module includes a dynamic bending light module; and a lens that is situated in operative relationship with the dynamic bending light module; wherein the lens has a thin aspect.
Claims11
A lighting module for a low-beam headlamp comprising:
- a dynamic bending light module configured to generate an elbow or kink from a cut-off profile of a light beam pattern, the dynamic bending light module including a number of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) arranged on a LED board and a collector lens;
- an alignment module separate from the dynamic bending light module, the alignment module configured to provide light to the light beam pattern generated by the dynamic bending light module;
- a lens that is situated in operative relationship with the dynamic bending light module and the alignment module;
- wherein the lens has a thin aspect ratio that is generally narrow along a length of the lens and is situated with the low-beam headlamp that is tall and narrow;
- the dynamic bending light module being configured to rotate independently of the alignment module;
- and
- a drive device configured to perform a rotation of the dynamic bending light module wherein rotation is controlled by a controller device coupled to a steering wheel sensor.

A low-beam headlamp of a vehicle, said headlamp comprising:
- a lighting module including
- a dynamic bending light module configured to generate an elbow or kink from a cut-off profile of a light beam pattern, the dynamic bending light module including a number of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) arranged on a LED board and a collector lens;
- an alignment module that is spaced separate from the dynamic bending light module, the alignment module is configured to provide light to the light beam pattern generated by the dynamic bending light module;
- and
- a lens that is situated in operative relationship with the dynamic bending light module and the alignment module;
- wherein the lens has a thin aspect ratio that is generally narrow along a length of the lens and is situated with said headlamp that is tall and narrow;
- the dynamic bending light module being configured to rotate independently of the alignment module;
- where the lighting module further includes a drive device that is configured to rotate the dynamic bending light module and wherein rotation is controlled by a controller device coupled to a steering wheel sensor.
