controls some of the plurality of micro-mirrors to reflect light to the optical system;

controls the remaining plurality of micro-mirrors not to reflect light;

changes a size of the dark area included in a high beam by increasing or decreasing the number of micro-mirrors, which do not reflect light to the optical system, from among the plurality of micro-mirrors; and

changes a horizontal size of the dark area by increasing or decreasing the number of micro-mirrors in a horizontal direction, which do not reflect light to the optical system, from among the plurality of micro-mirrors.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the module controller changes a vertical size of the dark area by increasing or decreasing the number of micro-mirrors in a vertical direction, which do not reflect light to the optical system, from among the plurality of micro-mirrors.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the module controller selects road surface information according to the driving situations based on the signals provided from the vehicle sensor, and controls the first and second DMD modules to implement an image according to the selected road surface information on a road surface.

4.
