Abstract
A vehicle headlamp includes a first light source, at least one second light source and an integrally designed, transparent shaped part. The shaped part includes a first optical structure for orienting light radiated by the first light source and at least one second optical structure for orienting light radiated by the second light source. The first optical structure and the second optical structure each have a continuously curved surface or a continuous, curved surface with an extent of at least in each case half a centimetre, in particular one centimetre, in two orthogonal directions.
Claims41
A device comprising:
- a vehicle headlight comprising:
- a first light source;
- at least a second light source;
- and
- a transparent shaped part configured in one piece, the transparent shaped part comprising:
- a first optical structure for the direction of light emitted by the first light source;
- and
- at least a second optical structure for the direction of light emitted by the second light source, wherein the first optical structure and the second optical structure each comprise a continuously curved surface extending at least half a centimeter in two orthogonal directions;
- wherein the second light source and the second optical structure are configured to form a static cornering light.
A device comprising:
- a vehicle headlight comprising:
- a first light source;
- at least a second light source;
- and
- a transparent shaped part configured in one piece, the transparent shaped part comprising:
- a first convex lens for the direction of light emitted by the first light source;
- and
- at least a second lens selected from the group consisting of (a) convex lens and (b) concave lens for the direction of light emitted by the second light source,
- wherein a substantial part of the light which is emitted by the first light source and passes through the transparent shaped part emerges from the first lens, and
- wherein the first light source in conjunction with the first convex lens directs light in a different direction from the second light source in conjunction with the second lens.
A vehicle headlight comprising:
- a first light source;
- at least a second light source;
- a light shield;
- and
- a transparent shaped part configured in one piece, the transparent shaped part comprising:
- a first optical structure configured as a lens for imaging an edge of the light shield as a bright-dark boundary by means of light emitted by the first light source;
- and
- at least a second optical structure for the direction of light emitted by the second light source.
