Vehicle headlight having a light source
A vehicle headlight includes a light source and an adjustable objective. The light source is designed as a field having a plurality of microlight sources. The adjustable objective includes at least three lens groups, at least two of which are designed to be displaceable along the optical axis in order to adjust the focal length and the focal plane.
1. A vehicle headlight, comprising:
a light source having a field comprising a plurality of microlight sources configured to produce a light image; and
an adjustable objective comprising at least three lens groups, wherein at least two lens groups of the at least three lens groups are displaceable along an optical axis of the vehicle headlight to adjust a focal length and a focal plane and lenses of a third lens group of the at least three lens groups is not displaceable along the optical axis such that a size of the light image in a plane of illumination and a focusing of the light image in the plane of illumination are adjustable; and
wherein the third lens group includes an aperture diaphragm that is not displaceable along the optical axis.
2. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein the microlight sources have microLEDs or micromirror devices.
3. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein the field comprises 30,000 to 1.5 million microlight sources.
4. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least three lens groups has at least one optical lens.
5. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable objective has at least one aperture diaphragm.
6. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein the adjustable objective additionally contains an iris diaphragm.
7. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein one or more surfaces of one or more optical elements of the adjustable objective are aspherical, and have diffractive structures or an anti-reflection coating.
8. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , wherein materials of individual optical elements of the adjustable objective have different refractive indices.
9. The vehicle headlight of claim 1 , further comprising:
DC motors, stepper motors, or piezo actuators arranged to displace the at least two lens groups.
10. The vehicle light of claim 1 , wherein the third lens group is arranged closer to the light source than the first and second lens groups.
11. The vehicle light of claim 1 , wherein the second lens group comprises two convex-concave lenses.
12. The vehicle light of claim 11 , wherein the first lens group comprises a plano-convex lens, and the second lens group is arranged closer to the light source than the first lens group.
