Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for generating light distributions on roadways with motor vehicle headlights having at least one laser light source which is modulated by an actuator and a processing unit and of which the laser beam is directed onto at least one light conversion element via a beam deflection element actuated by a beam deflection actuator, said light conversion element having a phosphor for converting light, and said headlight also comprising a projection system for projecting the light image generated at the at least one light conversion element onto the roadway, wherein in addition to changing a specified light distribution, the processing unit is configured to change the intensity of the beam of the laser light source by the actuator according to a specified function in the sense of increasing the intensity in the direction of the edges of the light image generated on the light conversion element.
