Headlamp for vehicles

A headlamp for vehicles, the headlamp comprising:

• a light source unit containing a plurality of light sources arranged in a matrix;
• an optics unit including an optics element, the optics unit positioned in front of the light source unit in a main beam direction (H), wherein the optics unit focuses light from the light sources into light spots with which a predefined light distribution is obtained, wherein the optics unit has a light entry surface on a side facing the light source unit, and has a light emission surface on a side facing away from the light source unit, wherein the light source unit is positioned at a predefined distance (a) to the light entry surface on the optics unit along an optical axis (A);
• and
• a control unit operably connected to the light sources and the optics element,
• wherein the optics element is movable transverse to the optical axis (A) of the light source unit and/or optics unit, the optics element being positioned between the light source unit and the light emission surface of the optics unit such that the light spots are in a first position when the optics element is in a first setting, and the same light spots are in a second position offset to the first position along one or more displacement paths when the adjustable optics element is in a second setting,
• wherein the control unit has a synchronizer that generates a first synchronization signal with which the light sources are switched on and off at a switching frequency, and a second synchronization signal with which an actuator is actuated such that the optics element is moved back and forth between the first and second positions at a setting frequency, wherein the setting frequency and switching frequency are the same, and
• wherein the light sources are on while the optics element is in the first setting or in the second setting and the light sources are off while the optics element moves between the first setting and the second setting.
