像素化大灯在迎宾图样的多样性和投影范围上都存在明显优势,具有成为新一代智能迎宾投影灯的潜质,当前,现有像素化大灯的垂直视场约为7°,然而车前投影距离通常大于8m,因此较小的垂直视场难以达成良好的迎宾效果。为了拉近迎宾投影的距离,通常采用电机将像素化大灯整体向下倾斜一定的角度。然而这种方案的调节范围十分有限,通常小于6°,同时还会侵占灯内的空间,导致造型布局难度大幅增加。
鉴于此,本申请提出一种投影模组,能够应用于像素化投影大灯中,通过更小的体积占用实现对宽光谱光束的偏转,从而满足像素化大灯的超近场投影需求,例如迎宾场景,具备优秀的投影效果和投影质量。

需要说明的是,本实施例所示的投影模组150不仅可应用至车辆上,还可应用至船、飞机、直升飞机等驾驶工具上。
本申请方案涉及胶合菲涅尔棱镜,本申请方案中提供的各种菲涅尔棱镜不仅可以应用于像素化大灯,还可以应用于照相机、投影仪、显微镜、望远镜、光刻机等与光学成像、光学投影相关的领域,此外,还可应用于利用折射原理的任意系统,包括声学系统、声光系统等等,本申请不做限定。
图2为本申请实施例提供的第一种投影模组200的结构示意图。可以理解的是,投影模组200可以应用于如图1所示的交通工具中,作为投影模组150的一例。如图2所示,投影模组200包括图像生成单元210和胶合菲涅尔棱镜220。具体地,当投影模组200进行近场投影时,图像生成单元210用于向胶合菲涅尔棱镜出射第一光束。胶合菲涅尔棱镜220用于基于第一光束出射第二光束,该第二光束与水平方向的夹角为第一夹角。其中,胶合菲涅尔棱镜220包括至少一个胶合面、第一外表面和第二外表面,至少一个胶合面和第二外表面为锯齿面,锯齿面的锯齿倾角基于第一夹角确定。
需要说明的是,锯齿倾角为锯齿与光轴垂直面的夹角。在本申请方案中,锯齿面的锯齿倾角的范围为[0°,80°],即胶合面的锯齿倾角为[0°,80°]中的一个,第二外表面的锯齿倾角选择为[0°,80°]中的一个,胶合面的锯齿倾角和第二外表面的锯齿倾角可以相同也可以不同。
在本申请的投影模组200中,使用了胶合菲涅耳棱镜220,对于胶合菲涅耳棱镜220来说,其可以将入射的第一光束的方向进行一定角度的偏折,同时,胶合菲涅耳棱镜220可以将至少两个棱镜胶合在一起,形成一个整体的光学系统,从而使得投影模组200体积变小的同时,通过胶合面削弱界面的反射导致的杂散光和鬼像,使投影模组具备良好的光学性能。需要说明的是,在本申请方案中,图像生成单元210出射的第一光束可以通过第一外表面进入胶合菲涅耳棱镜220,此时,第二光束从胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的第二外表面出射,或者,图像生成单元210出射的第一光束可以通过第二外表面进入胶合菲涅耳棱镜220,此时,第二光束从胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的第一外表面出射,本申请不做限定。
在本申请方案中,胶合菲涅耳棱镜220包含锯齿面,该锯齿面的锯齿倾角与胶合菲涅耳棱镜220出射的第二光束的第一夹角相关。即在本申请方案中,可以通过第一夹角确定胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的锯齿倾角,从而实现投影模组200出射的第二光束在第一夹角下的投影效果。换句话说,本申请提供的投影模组200可以根据期望的投影场景下投影模组200出射的第二光束的第一夹角,对胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的锯齿倾角进行相应的设计,从而实现不同第一夹角下的投影场景。可以理解的是,在本申请方案中第一夹角大于6°时,能够实现超近场的投影效果,当该投影模组200应用于像素大灯时,可以实现超近场的迎宾投影效果,提升用户体验。
接下来,结合图3至图6详细说明本申请实施例提供的三种胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的具体结构。
图3为本申请实施例提供的第一种胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的示意图。如图3所示,图3中的(a)为胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的侧视图。具体地,胶合菲涅尔棱镜220为双胶合菲涅尔棱镜,由第一镜片310和第二镜片320构成,第一镜片310包括第一表面311和第二表面312。第二镜片320包括第三表面321和第四表面322。其中,第一镜片310的第二表面312与第二镜片320的第三表面321的面型重合,并通过胶合的方式粘贴在一起构成胶合面。第一表面311和第四表面322分别为胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的第一外表面和第二外表面。
具体地,在图3所示的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220中,第二表面312、第三表面321和第四表面322为锯齿面。根据上述图2的说明可知,第二表面312、第三表面321和第四表面322的锯齿倾角是基于第一夹角确定的。具体地,确定系统要求的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220对主光线的偏折角度(即第一夹角),并选定胶合菲涅尔棱镜220第一镜片310和第二镜片320的材料后,根据消色差原理使不同波长入射光经过胶合菲涅尔棱镜220后,以相同的第一夹角出射在相同的位置处,从而实现对锯齿倾角的逆向设计。可以理解的是,对锯齿倾角的光学设计和优化过程可以通过光学软件或者光学公式、脚本等进行。
本申请方案对于锯齿的面型不做限定,即第二表面312、第三表面321和第四表面322的锯齿可以为倾斜平面或者为自由曲面。为了简化加工难度和设计难度,通常选择锯齿的面型为倾斜平面。
可以理解的是,由于第二表面312与第三表面321的面型重合,因此,为了使第二表面312与第三表面321完全啮合,本申请方案中,第二表面312与第三表面321的锯齿间距相同。可以理解的是,第二表面312与第三表面321的锯齿间距与第一镜片310和第二镜片320的材料的加工工艺相关。示例性地,当第一镜片310或第二镜片320的材料为塑料时,锯齿间距可以根据注塑工艺选择4mm等。当第一镜片310或第二镜片320的材料为玻璃时,锯齿间距可以根据冷加工工艺选择2mm等。需要说明的是,本申请不对第三表面321和第四表面322的锯齿间距进行限定,既可以相同也可以不同。
可选地,第一表面311为平面、锯齿面、球面或自由曲面。当第一表面311为锯齿面时,本申请不对第一表面311与第二表面312的锯齿间距进行限定,即第一表面311的锯齿间距可以与第二表面312的锯齿间距相同,也可以不同。可以理解的是,当第一表面311为锯齿面时,第一表面311锯齿的面型可以为倾斜平面或者为自由曲面,本申请不做限定。同样地,第一表面311的锯齿倾角可以根据胶合菲涅尔棱镜220对主光线的偏折角度、第一镜片310和第二镜片320的材料、以及投影模组200对胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的消色差需求来确定。第一表面311的锯齿面的锯齿倾角为[0°,80°]中的一个。当第一表面311为球面或自由曲面时,能够用于对图像生成单元210的离焦进行补偿,从而实现近场成像清晰的效果。
需要说明的是,本申请方案对于胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的第一镜片310和第二镜片320的材料不做限定。可选地,第一镜片310和第二镜片320的材料为塑料、玻璃、晶体及它们的任意组合。其中,塑料镜可以是聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(polymethyl methacrylate,PMMA)、聚碳酸酯(polycarbonate,PC)等,通过精密加工、注塑、纳米压印等方式加工而成。玻璃镜片可以是常见的光学玻璃H-K9L材质、H-ZF1材质等,并通过冷加工、精密加工、高温模压、纳米压印等方式加工而成。可以理解的是,为了达到消色差的效果,第一镜片310和第二镜片320的材料设置为不同。
还需要说明的是,本申请方案对于第一镜片310和第二镜片320的形状不做限定。可选地,第一镜片310和第二镜片320的形状为圆形、矩形或者其他任意需求的形状。示例性地,图3中的(b)和图3中的(c)为胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的正视图。其中,图3中的(b)对应的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的口径形状为圆形,图3中的(c)对应的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的口径形状为矩形。
为了减少胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的通光表面由于反射而导致的杂散光,在一些实施例中,可以在胶合菲涅尔棱镜220与空气界面增加抗反层。即在第一表面311和/或第四表面322增加抗反层。示例性地,抗反层可以为抗反膜。
可选地,为了减少第四表面322的锯齿垂直面在掠入射下的强烈反射,可以在第四表面322的锯齿垂直面上设置光线吸收层。可以理解的是,当第一表面311为锯齿面时,同样可以在第一表面311的锯齿垂直面上设置光线吸收层。
此外,为了减少第四表面322的锯齿垂直面在掠入射下的反射,以及锯齿尖角和底角处的杂散光,在一些实施例中,可以通过在第四表面322的锯齿尖角和底角的垂直投影区域增加光线吸收层,包括但不限于涂墨、丝印、贴膜、镀膜等方式。或者,在另一些实施例中,可以通过在第四表面322上增加消光结构件来阻挡光线,即吸收杂散光。其中,消光结构件通过水平遮挡区域来吸收杂散光,该水平区域的覆盖锯齿尖角和底角处,即每个锯齿的锯齿尖角和底角与消光结构件的水平遮挡区一一对应。同时,水平遮挡区域的宽度可以根据每个锯齿的锯齿尖角、底角进行设计,以阻挡杂散光进入锯齿,从而避免出现杂散光或者鬼像。可选地,该消光结构件可以紧贴镜片第一表面311和/或第四表面322放置,也可以与第一表面311和/或第四表面322间隔一定距离布置。示例性地,图4为本申请实施例提供的一种消光结构件400的示意图。如图4中的(a)所示,消光结构件400的形状类似于“梯子”形状,其中,“梯子”的“梁”用于覆盖胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的尖角和底角区域,且与胶合菲涅耳棱镜220的锯齿尖角和底角一一对应。当图4中的(a)设置在图3所示的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220上时,包含消光结构件400的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220如图4中的(b)所示。

与图3所示的第一种胶合菲涅尔棱镜220不同的是,在图5所示的第二种胶合菲涅尔棱镜220中,第一镜片510和第二镜片520均为梯形棱镜粘接而成。可以理解的是,梯形棱镜相对于整体菲涅耳棱镜的加工更为容易,因此,使用梯形棱镜制作菲涅尔棱镜,可以达到简化工艺的效果。
可以理解的是,在图5所示的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220中,第二表面512、第三表面521和第四表面522为梯形棱镜的斜面。该斜面的倾角同样是基于第一夹角确定的。即基于系统要求的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220对主光线的偏折角度(即第一夹角),和第一镜片510和第二镜片520的材料后,根据消色差原理通过光学软件或者光学公式、脚本等进行逆向设计和优化。
同样的,第二表面512、第三表面521和第四表面522的斜面面型可以为倾斜平面或者为自由曲面。
可以理解的是,为了使第二表面512与第三表面521完全重合,每个梯形棱镜的高度相等。
可选地,第一表面511为平面、斜面、球面或自由曲面,本申请不做限定。当第一表面311为斜面时,该斜面的倾角可以根据胶合菲涅尔棱镜220对主光线的偏折角度、第一镜片510和第二镜片520的材料、以及投影模组200对胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的消色差需求来确定。第一表面511的斜面的倾角为[0°,80°]中的一个。同样地,为了实现更为清晰的投影效果,改善投影质量,可以将第一表面511设计为球面或自由曲面。
同样的,在本申请方案中,第一镜片510和第二镜片520的材料、形状均不做限定。例如,第一镜片510和第二镜片520的材料可以选择塑料、玻璃等。同时,第一镜片510和第二镜片520的形状可以为圆形,如图5中的(b)所示,或者为矩形,如图5中的(c)所示。具体地,可以参考上述图3中对第一镜片310和第二镜片320的相关说明,此处不再赘述。

可以理解的是,在图6所示的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220中,第二表面612、第三表面621、第四表面622、第五表面631和第六表面632为锯齿面。该锯齿面的倾角同样是基于第一夹角确定的。即基于系统要求的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220对主光线的偏折角度(即第一夹角),和第一镜片610、第二镜片620和第三镜片630的材料后,根据消色差原理通过光学软件或者光学公式、脚本等进行逆向设计和优化。
同样的,第二表面612、第三表面621、第四表面622、第五表面631和第六表面632的锯齿面型可以为倾斜平面或者为自由曲面。
可以理解的是,为了使第二表面612与第三表面621完全啮合,第二表面612与第三表面621的锯齿间距相同。为了使第四表面622和第五表面631完全啮合,第四表面622和第五表面631的锯齿间距相同。
可选地,第一表面611为平面、锯齿面、球面或自由曲面,本申请不做限定。当第一表面611为锯齿面时,该锯齿面的倾角可以根据胶合菲涅尔棱镜220对主光线的偏折角度、第一镜片610、第二镜片620和第三镜片630的材料、以及投影模组200对胶合菲涅尔棱镜220的消色差需求来确定。第一表面611的斜面的倾角为[0°,80°]中的一个。同样地,为了实现更为清晰的投影效果,改善投影质量,可以将第一表面611设计为球面或自由曲面。
同样的,在本申请方案中,第一镜片610、第二镜片620和第三镜片630的材料、形状均不做限定。例如,第一镜片610、第二镜片620和第三镜片630的材料可以选择塑料、玻璃等。可以理解的是,为了达到消色差的效果,第一镜片610、第二镜片620和第三镜片630的材料设置为不同。
同时,第一镜片610、第二镜片620和第三镜片630的形状可以为圆形,如图6中的(b)所示,或者为矩形,如图6中的(c)所示。具体地,可以参考上述图3中对第一镜片310和第二镜片320的相关说明,此处不再赘述。
此外,与图3所示的胶合菲涅尔220类似地,可选地,在第一表面611和/或第六表面632增加抗反层。或者,可选地,在第六表面632的锯齿尖角和底角的垂直投影区域通过涂墨、丝印、贴膜、镀膜等方式设置光线吸收层。或者,可选地,在第一表面611和/或第六表面632上增加例如图4所示的消光结构件来阻挡光线和吸收杂散光。具体地,可以参考上述图3中相关部分的说明,此处不再赘述。
示例性地,结合图6中的(a)和图6中的(c),表4示出了本申请实施例提供的一种口径为矩形的三胶合菲涅尔棱镜的相关光学数据。
表4
可以理解的是,上述表4中的数值仅为本申请实施例提供的示例,并不对本申请保护的胶合菲涅尔棱镜220构成限定。即在本申请的方案之下,可以根据需求设计出更多的双胶合菲涅尔棱镜,并不限定于上述表4所示。
图7为适用于本申请实施例的一种图像生成单元210的结构示意图。如图7所示,图像生成单元210包括光源710、调制单元720和投影模块730。其中,光源710用于提供承载图像数据的光束。调制单元720用于根据图像数据对光源发出的光束进行调制,使从调制单元720输出的光承载图像数据,即调制单元720输出的光为成像光(或称为图像光)。投影模块730用于将承载有图像数据的成像光投射。需要说明的是,图7仅为适用于本申请实施例的一种图像生成单元210的结构之一,即适用于本申请实施例的图像生成单元210并不限定于图7所示,在另一些实施例中,适用于本申请实施例的图像生成单元210还可以包括准直模块、匀光模块等。
可选地,图像生成单元210可以采用液晶显示(liquid crystal display,LCD)显示器、硅基液晶(liquid crystal on silicon,LCOS)显示器、有机发光二极管(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)显示器、微型发光二极管(Micro-LED)显示器、采用miniLED的显示技术的显示器、数字光处理(digital light procession,DLP)显示器或微机电系统(micro-electro-mechanical systems,MEMS)显示器等,本申请不做限定。
图8为本申请实施例提供的第二种投影模组800的示意性光路结构图。可以理解的是,投影模组800可以应用于如图1所示的交通工具中,作为投影模组150的一例。如图8所示,投影模组800包括图像生成单元810、胶合菲涅尔棱镜820和传动单元830。其中,传动单元830与胶合菲涅尔棱镜820连接,传动单元830用于移动胶合菲涅尔棱镜820,使投影模组800的状态为第一状态或第二状态,第一状态下投影模组800出射的第二光束与水平方向的夹角为第一夹角,第二状态下投影模组800出射的第一光束与水平方向的夹角为第二夹角,第一夹角大于第二夹角。
需要说明的是,在本申请方案中,第一状态为投影模组800的近距离投影状态,示例性地,当投影模组应用于汽车的像素化大灯时,该第一状态可以是投影模组800应用于近场投影场景下的投影状态,例如迎宾投影场景。第二状态为投影模组800的远距离投影状态或照明状态,示例性地,当投影模组应用于汽车的像素化大灯时,该第二状态可以是投影模组800应用于辅助近光或者辅助远光下的照明状态。或者,还可以是远距离大画幅的观影场景下的投影状态。
具体地,当投影模组800应用于第一状态时,传动单元830用于将胶合菲涅尔棱镜820移动到图像生成单元810的前方,此时,图像生成单元810用于向胶合菲涅尔棱镜820出射第一光束。胶合菲涅尔棱镜820用于将来自图像生成单元810的第一光束的传输方向进行偏折,并出射第二光束。可以理解的是,当投影模组800应用于近场投影场景下时,第一光束和第二光束均为承载图像信息的图像光,第二光束用于生成投影模组800在第一状态下的第一图像。当投影模组800应用于第二状态时,传动单元830移动胶合菲涅尔棱镜820的位置,使图像生成单元810出射的第一光束无法投射到胶合菲涅尔棱镜820,此时,投影模组800出射的光束为图像生成单元810出射的第一光束。可以理解的是,当投影模组800应用于远场投影场景下时,该第一光束为携带图像信息的图像光,用于生成投影模组800在第二状态下的第二图像。当投影模组800应用于照明场景下时,该第一光束不携带图像信息,用于投影模组800在第二状态下照明。
根据上述说明可知,当投影模组800应用于第一状态下时,图像生成单元810出射的光束会经过胶合菲涅尔棱镜820。当投影模组800应用于第二状态下时,图像生成单元810出射的光束不会经过胶合菲涅尔棱镜820,而是直接出射。由于第一状态下投影模组800出射的第二光束与水平方向的第一夹角,大于第二状态下投影模组800出射的第一光束与水平方向的第二夹角。因此,投影模组800在第一状态下出射的第二光束的投影位置比投影模组800在第二状态下出射的第一光束的投影位置更靠近图像生成单元810。换句话说,第一光束经过胶合菲涅尔棱镜820的投影位置比不经过胶合菲涅尔棱镜820的投影位置更靠近图像生成单元810。示例性地,图9为本申请实施例中投影模组800在第一状态和第二状态下的工作模式示意图。如图9所示,投影模组800在第一状态下的投影位置为投影位置1,投影模组800在第二状态下的投影位置为投影位置2,当以驾驶员的视角来看时,投影位置1相对于投影位置2将更靠近驾驶员。
需要说明的是,当投影模组800在第一状态和第二状态之间进行切换时,传动单元830移动胶合菲涅尔棱镜820,可以是将胶合菲涅尔棱镜820相对于光轴方向左右移动,或者是相对于光轴方向上下移动均可,本申请不做限定。同时,传动单元830移动胶合菲涅尔棱镜820的方式可以是平移、旋转中的至少一个,本申请不做限定。此外,还需要说明的是,当投影模组800应用于第一状态时,传动单元830移动胶合菲涅尔棱镜820至图像生成单元810的前方,此时,胶合菲涅尔棱镜820可以与投影模组的光轴垂直,或者相对于光轴旋转,均不会影响对第一光束的偏折,投影的第一图像的位置保持大致不变。换句话说,本申请提供的投影装置800对装配公差具有较高的容忍度,使得本身请提供的投影模组的装配简单,容易操作。
可选地,在本申请方案中,传动单元830基于投影模组800的状态信息移动菲涅尔棱镜820。
在一些实施例中,该状态信息可以是压力信号,示例性地,用户通过按压控制传动单元830的按钮,当传动单元830接收到压力信号后,则将菲涅尔棱镜820移动到图像生成单元810的前方,使第一光束透射菲涅尔棱镜820。当传动单元830未接收到压力信号,例如,用户操作控制传动单元830的按钮弹出,或者控制传动单元830的按钮为默认的出厂弹出状态时,传动单元830则将菲涅尔棱镜820移出图像生成单元810的前方,使得第一光束不会透射菲涅尔棱镜820。
在另一些实施例中,该状态信息可以是电信号,示例性地,用户通过与投影模组800连接的显示设备上的状态选择功能,选择投影模组800的不同状态,此时不同的状态对应不同的电信号,例如,第一状态对应第一电信号,第二状态对应第二电信号,当传动单元830接收到第一电信号后,则将菲涅尔棱镜820移动到图像生成单元810的前方,使第一光束透射菲涅尔棱镜820。当传动单元830接收到第二信号后,传动单元830则将菲涅尔棱镜820移出图像生成单元810的前方,使得第一光束不会透射菲涅尔棱镜820。
在另一些实施例中,该状态信息可以是无线电信号,例如蓝牙信号等,示例性地,用户通过操作与投影模组800连接的控制设备,例如手机、遥控等设备,选择投影模组800的不同状态,此时不同的状态对应不同的蓝牙信号,例如,第一状态对应第一蓝牙信号,第二状态对应第二蓝牙信号,当传动单元830接收到第一蓝牙信号后,则将菲涅尔棱镜820移动到图像生成单元810的前方,使第一光束透射胶合菲涅尔棱镜820。当传动单元830接收到第二蓝牙信号后,传动单元830则将胶合菲涅尔棱镜820移出图像生成单元810的前方,使得第一光束不会透射菲涅尔棱镜820。
可以理解的是,胶合菲涅尔棱镜820可以是上述图3、图5和图6中的任意一种胶合菲涅尔棱镜,或者其他本申请未示出的胶合菲涅尔棱镜中的一例,具体地,可以参考上述图3、图5和图6中的相关说明,此处不再赘述。
图10为本申请实施例提供的一种控制投影模组的方法1000的示意图。该方法可以用于对上述图8所示的投影模组800进行控制,由控制器、控制设备、控制芯片等执行,本申请对此不作限定。具体地,该方法包括如下多个步骤。
S1001,响应于用户对投影模组的控制操作,投影模组工作在第一状态或第二状态下,其中,投影模组包括图像生成单元和胶合菲涅尔棱镜,胶合菲涅尔棱镜包括至少一个胶合面、第一外表面和第二外表面,至少一个胶合面和第二外表面为锯齿面,第一状态下图像生成单元向胶合菲涅尔棱镜出射第一光束,胶合菲涅尔棱镜基于第一光束出射第二光束,第二光束与水平方向的夹角为第一夹角,锯齿面的锯齿倾角基于第一夹角确定,第二状态下图像生成单元出射的第一光束无法投射至胶合菲涅尔棱镜,第一光束与水平方向的夹角为第二夹角,第一夹角大于第二夹角。
具体地,当方法100应用于图8所示的投影模组800中时,用户通过控制操作使投影模组800工作在第一状态或者第二状态下。其中,第一状态和第二状态的说明可以参考上述图8中的相关说明,此处不再赘述。同时,用户的控制操作可以包括上述图8中举例说明的按压按钮、触摸显示设备、或者控制手机或者遥控设备等,此处不再赘述。
可选地,在S1001之前,方法1000还包括S1002。
S1002,获取状态信息,根据状态信息移动胶合菲涅尔棱镜,其中,状态信息为第一状态信息或第二状态信息,第一状态信息对应第一状态,第二状态信息对应第二状态。
具体地,传动单元830在对胶合菲涅尔棱镜820移动之前,传动单元830获取状态信息,并根据状态信息响应用户的控制操作。可以理解的是,状态信息根据用户的控制操作具有不同的形式,例如,若用户操作为按压按钮操作时,状态信息为压力信号。若用户操作为触摸显示设备的操作时,状态信息为电信号。若用户操作为对无线控制设备的操作时,状态信息为无线信号。具体地,可以参考上述图8中的相关说明,此处不再赘述。
以照明提示系统为车灯为例,本申请实施例还提供一种车灯。图11为本申请实施例中一种车灯的功能示意图。如图11所示,该车灯20包括控制器21,驱动模组22以及照明模组23。上述实施例中的投影模组具体可以应用在照明模组23中。由于车辆一般有左右两个前大灯,故照明模组23分为左右两个,一般具有各自对应的驱动模组22,当然,也不排除利用同一个驱动模组同时驱动两个照明模组23的情况。通常情况下,控制器21通过总线与车辆中的计算机系统通信,用于接收各种信息或者控制信号,再分别给两个驱动模组22发送信息,控制驱动模组22来驱动对应的照明模组23,实现想要达到的照明效果。需要说明的是,随着技术的发展,控制器21的功能可能会集成到整车的计算机系统中实现,由计算机系统直接控制驱动模组22来驱动对应的照明模组23,本申请不做限定。此外,车灯20还可能集成一些感知模块,例如,将激光雷达、毫米波雷达或红外探测装置等感知模块中的任一种集成到智能车灯中,形成感照一体化的车灯。
控制器21可包括一个或多个处理器和存储器。该存储器用于存储解析来自计算机系统的指令的代码,以及控制驱动模组22的代码,处理器根据上述代码,解析指令,并控制驱动模组23。在实际应用中,存储器可在控制器21内部,也可在控制器21外部,本申请不作限定。其中,处理器可为一个或多个现场可编程门阵列(field-programmable gate array,FPGA)、专用集成芯片(application specific integrated circuit,ASIC)、系统芯片(system on chip,SoC)、中央处理器(central processor unit,CPU)、网络处理器(network processor,NP)、数字信号处理电路(digital signal processor,DSP)、微控制器(micro controller unit,MCU),可编程控制器(programmable logic device,PLD)或其它集成芯片,或者上述芯片或者处理器的任意组合等。存储器可以包括易失性存储器(volatile memory),例如RAM;存储器也可以包括非易失性存储器(non-vlatile memory),例如ROM、快闪存储器(flash memory)、机械硬盘HDD或固态硬盘SSD;存储器还可以包括上述种类的存储器的组合。
驱动模组22是与照明模组23配套的,例如,当照明模组23采用DLP技术时,驱动模组22为数字微镜器件(Digital Micro-mirror Device,DMD)的驱动芯片;当照明模组23采用LCD技术时,驱动模组22为LCD的驱动芯片;当照明模组23采用LCOS时,驱动模组22为LCOS的驱动芯片;本申请对此不做限定。
照明模组23利用矩阵式LED、Micro-LED、DMD、LCD、LCOS以及激光扫描等技术,可以实现ADB功能,还可以投射出文字,交通标志、甚至视频等,提升驾驶安全以及用户体验。应理解,图11仅为车灯的示意图,并不构成限定;车灯可以由照明模组23在实现投影的同时,实现远近光的功能,也可以包括单独的远近光模组;其中,如果包括单独的远近光模组,远近光模组可以由控制器21来控制远光和近光的开或关,也可以通过总线与车辆的计算机系统通信,由计算机系统来控制远光和近光的开或关,本申请不做限定。
在本申请所提供的几个实施例中,应该理解到,以上所描述的实施例仅仅是示意性的,例如,所述模块的划分,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式,例如多个单元或组件可以结合或者可以集成到另一个系统,或一些特征可以忽略,或不执行。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
