Lighting system for a vehicle
First Claim
1. A lighting system for a vehicle, the lighting system comprising:
- a sensor module configured to sense light entering from outside of the vehicle to generate a first sensing signal;
a control module configured to generate a shutter operation signal and a lighting operation signal based on the first sensing signal;
a shutter glass configured to be opened and closed according to the shutter operation signal; and
a headlamp module having a light source unit, wherein the light source unit is configured to alternately emit a first light having a first luminance and a second light having a second luminance according to the lighting operation signal,wherein the control module is configured to control the shutter operation signal and the lighting operation signal to enable the light source unit to alternately emit the first light and the second light in synchronization with the opening and closing operations of the shutter glass.

Abstract
A lighting system for a vehicle is provided. The lighting system includes a sensor module, a control mode, a shutter glass, and a headlamp module. The sensor module senses light entering from outside of the vehicle to generate a sensing signal. The control module generates shutter and lighting operation signals based on the sensing signal. The shutter glass is opened and closed according to the shutter operation signal. The headlamp module has a light source unit that alternately emits a first light having a first luminance and a second light having a second luminance according to the lighting operation signal. The control module controls the shutter and lighting operation signals to enable the light source unit to alternately emit the first and second lights in synchronization with the opening and closing operations of the shutter glass.

19. A lighting system for a vehicle, the lighting system comprising:
-
a sensor module including first and second sensor units, wherein the first sensor unit senses a first light to generate a first sensing signal, and the second sensor unit senses a second light to generate a second sensing signal; a control module configured to receive the first and second sensing signals, to determine one sensing signal having a higher illumination intensity than another sensing signal between the first and second sensing signals, and to generate a shutter operation signal and a lighting operation signal based on the one sensing signal having the higher illumination intensity than another sensing signal between the first and second sensing signals; a shutter glass configured to be opened and closed according to the shutter operation signal; and a headlamp module having a light source unit, wherein the light source unit is configured to alternately emit a third light having a first luminance and a fourth light having a second luminance according to the lighting operation signal. - View Dependent Claims (20)
