Summary

Headlamps with dynamic high beam, also termed Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) are becoming a must have due to their superior road illumination and therefore safety and comfort they offer to drivers.

Microlens-arrays (MLAs) offer interesting styling options with their slim shape and can result in headlamps with a cleaned up look and exciting options to hide functionalities. Already, several car models are equipped with MLA-based headlamps. While some dynamics in the low beam is integrated, none of the existing MLA headlamp designs feature a full ADB solution based on MLAs.

We will present our approach to realise ADB functionality with MLAs, following our design principles that we have established with our Miraluz® headlamp MLA series:

-     Multiple, relatively small MLA elements

-     Short optical path

-     Compact layout of light engine

-     Modular approach enabling flexible arrangements

-     Styling options for our customers

Tight integration of light sources with optics will bring the ultimate solution to challenging lighting tasks such as automotive lighting. Focuslight’s commitment to micro-optics is demonstrated by the recent integration of ams Osram’s passive optical component business and the revival of the Heptagon brand.
