Patent granted for head lamp module with single circuit board
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12000568B2) discloses a head lamp module for motor vehicles that includes a single printed circuit board, two groups of light sources arranged on the board, a lens, and an optical device made from a single component. This optical device features light coupling surfaces, air channels, and geometrical light ways that converge towards the lens, guiding light emitted by the two groups of light sources. The patent emphasizes the adaptability of the lens to assume different states, affecting the light distribution of the headlamp module.
Furthermore, the patent details the specific configuration of the optical device, highlighting the precise positioning of light coupling surfaces to receive light from individual sources within each group. The patent also mentions the dismountable nature of the optical device from the head lamp module, as well as the ability of the second group of light sources to be independently switched on and off. The use of light emitting diodes as the light sources and the inclusion of a shutter element to limit the range of light emitted by the first group of sources are also outlined in the patent claims. Overall, the patent showcases a sophisticated head lamp module design that optimizes light distribution and functionality for motor vehicles.
