Abstract
This disclosure relates to a headlight for a motor vehicle comprising a carrier element, on which a plurality of LEDs are arranged, which can be individually controlled in terms of light output, in order to output light according to a predefinable light distribution by means of the headlight. The LEDs are designed as micro-LEDs and at least one sensor element is arranged in an LED-free region of the carrier element.
Claims8
A headlight for a motor vehicle, the headlight comprising:
- a carrier element;
- a plurality of light emitting diodes arranged on the carrier element, the plurality of light emitting diodes being individually controllable with respect to a light output, the plurality of light emitting diodes being configured to output light according to a presettable light distribution, wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes comprise micro light emitting diodes;
- and
- at least one sensor element arranged in a region of the carrier element free from the plurality of light emitting diodes, such that the plurality of light emitting diodes and the at least one sensor element are arranged on the carrier element,
- wherein the carrier element is transparently or opaquely formed,
- wherein the micro light emitting diodes are arranged on a first surface of two opposing surfaces of the carrier element,
- wherein the at least one sensor element is arranged on a second surface of the two opposing surfaces of the carrier element,
- wherein the second surface, opposing to the first surface, is arranged at a different surface from the first surface, and
- wherein the carrier element is formed plate-like and comprises a curvature.
