Vehicle headlight and method for assisting a parking maneuver

A vehicle headlamp (1), comprising:

• a high-resolution lighting apparatus (2) for projecting various light distributions onto a roadway area (4) positioned in front of a vehicle (3), wherein the high-resolution lighting apparatus (2) is suitable to project various light distributions onto a roadway at a resolution of 1° or less;
• an environmental detection device (5) for detecting at least one parking space (6) located in the environment surrounding the vehicle (3);
• and
• a control device (7) for dynamically controlling the lighting apparatus (2);
• wherein the environmental detection device (5) is set up to issue information corresponding to a detected parking space (6) to the control device (7), wherein the control device (7) is designed, in case the environmental detection device (5) detects a parking space (6), to control the lighting apparatus (2), under consideration of at least the information issued by the environmental detection device (5) related to the parking space (6), in such a manner that the lighting apparatus (2) at least projects a definable ground projection (8), which at least represents the vehicle length, onto the roadway area (4) in front of the vehicle (3), wherein the control device (7) is set up to calculate or determine at least one target parking maneuver, under consideration of
• the position and orientation of the vehicle (3) in relation to the parking space,
• as well as of a detected position and dimension of the parking space (6), and to control the lighting apparatus (2) in such a manner that symbols representing steering instructions are projected onto the roadway, in dependence on a comparison
• between the position and orientation of the vehicle (3) in relation to the parking space (6) as detected by the environmental detection device (5)
• and the at least one target parking maneuver,
• wherein the lighting apparatus (2) comprises at least one laser light source having a light conversion element for converting the laser light into visible light, which is downstream of the laser light source, for projecting various light distributions, wherein the light emitted by the laser light source is directed toward at least one light-deflecting unit, wherein the light-deflecting unit is set up to deflect the light emitted by the laser light source in such a manner onto the light conversion element in various definable directions that various distinct light distributions can be generated, wherein the light-deflecting unit comprises at least one micro mirror for this purpose, which at least one micro mirror can be swivelled about one or two axes.
