Low beam headlight with beam forming optics for generating a light dark distribution with oblique extending edges

A low-beam headlight, comprising:

• a light source arrangement for generating a light cone of light that is less divergent in a first transverse direction than in a second transverse direction perpendicular to the first transverse direction;
• and with one of
• beamforming optics for generating, on the basis of light, a light/dark distribution comprising a light/dark edge extending obliquely at least in portions with respect to the first transverse direction and the second transverse direction, wherein the beamforming optics comprises a condenser lens array for receiving incident light;
• and a projection lens array with a multitude of projection lenses for outputting light received by the condenser lens array;
• wherein the condenser lens array comprises a plurality of condenser lenses arranged in a matrix arrangement with several columns and several lines, wherein condenser lenses of at least a first column are adapted to the obliquely-extending light/dark edge;
• wherein condenser lenses of the first column each comprise a first and an opposite second boundary edge extending along the first and second transverse directions and comprising at least one bend and extending obliquely at least in portions, adapted to the obliquely-extending light/dark edge in such a way;
• wherein, in at least one condenser lens, a bend of the first boundary edge is arranged so as to be offset with respect to a corresponding bend of the second boundary edge along the second transverse direction;
• or
• beamforming optics, wherein the beamforming optics is a micro-optical beamformer without diaphragms, comprising a first condenser lens array with condenser lenses arranged in columns of identical width and rows of individually different height so as to fill the area, the condenser lenses being formed at least partially as lens segments decentered along the first transverse direction;
• and a second projection lens array arranged behind the same along a light propagation direction, comprising at least partially decentered projection lenses, and comprising a greater pitch along the second transverse direction than the condenser lens array and an equal pitch along the first transverse direction, wherein each condenser lens images the light source into a projection lens assigned thereto, and each projection lens images the assigned condenser lens towards infinity;
• and thus forms a far-field distribution of the low-beam;
• wherein beamforming of the beamformer along the second transverse direction results at least in part from an interaction of a divergence distribution of the collimated light source arrangement along the second transverse direction and the beamforming of the lens arrays along the second transverse direction;
• wherein condenser lenses are equipped with a corresponding bend in boundaries opposite along the first transverse direction in a central area of the condenser lens array to generate an elbow-shoulder contour of a light/dark border in the far-field distribution;
• and the positions of the bends along the second transverse direction are different for at least a subset of the condenser lenses of a condenser lens array column, and the assigned projection lenses comprise lens segments with different decentered arrangements along the second transverse direction.

A beamforming optics for generating, on the basis of incident light, a light/dark distribution comprising a light/dark edge extending obliquely at least in portions with respect to a vertical first transverse direction and a horizontal second transverse direction perpendicular thereto, wherein the beamforming optics comprises:

• a condenser lens array for receiving the incident light;
• and a projection lens array with a multitude of projection lenses for outputting light received by the condenser lens array;
• wherein the condenser lens array comprises a plurality of condenser lenses arranged in a matrix arrangement with several columns and several lines, wherein condenser lenses of at least a first column are adapted to the obliquely-extending light/dark edge;
• wherein, compared to a second projection lens assigned to a second condenser lens of the first column, a first projection lens assigned to a first condenser lens of the first column of the matrix is decentered differently with respect to the assigned condenser lens along the second transverse direction.
