Headlight system and method for providing a bending light function

A headlight system for a vehicle is enabled for a bending light function. A first light module generates a conventional asymmetrical dipped headlight with an upper first light/dark boundary on the driver's side of a central axis. A second light module has a matrix of light-emitting diode units....

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A headlight system for a vehicle is enabled for a bending light function. A first light module generates a conventional asymmetrical dipped headlight with an upper first light/dark boundary on the driver's side of a central axis. A second light module has a matrix of light-emitting diode units. A control unit actuates light emissions of the individual light-emitting diode units separately. A bend-detection unit detects the radius of a curve in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The light-emitting diode units have at maximum two horizontal lines, and they generate an emission characteristic with a lower second light/dark boundary below the first light/dark boundary of the dipped headlight, an upper third light/dark boundary above the first light/dark boundary of the dipped headlight, and a lateral fourth light/dark boundary on the side of the light emissions of the second light module the faces the driver's side.
