Abstract

A vehicle light module includes a light source assembly, a driving assembly, and a shielding assembly. The driving assembly is connected to the shielding assembly. The light source assembly is configured to send a first beam to the shielding assembly, where the shielding assembly is located on a transmission optical path of the first beam. The driving assembly is configured to drive, according to a driving instruction, the shielding assembly to move, to change a relative position between the shielding assembly and the first beam. A second beam emitted from the shielding assembly is displayed on a path around the vehicle in a target light pattern. The shielding assembly includes at least one movable member, at least a part of the first beam is illuminated on the at least one movable member, and a shape of a cross section of the second beam corresponds to the target light pattern.

Claims (23)
