Light module for a motor vehicle headlamp
First Claim
1. A light module for a motor vehicle headlamp, having numerous light emitting diodes as light sources, a primary lens having a lower edge, and a secondary lens, wherein the primary lens collects light emitted from the light sources, and to convert the light into an intermediate light distribution having a shape of a closed and illuminating surface area, and wherein the secondary lens has an object-side focal length and at least one concave mirror reflector having a reflector surface that includes a plurality of reflector facets which are implemented as paraboloids of revolution which have different focal points, all of which lie on the lower edge of the light emission surface of the primary lens, wherein the primary lens and the secondary lens are disposed such that the intermediate light distribution lies in a beam path in front of the secondary lens at a spacing of the object side focal length, and the primary lens is a single-piece base body including collecting lens sub-regions, and a chip in the light emitting diode lies between a collecting lens sub-region that collects light from the light emitting diode and an object-side focal point of the light emitting diode, wherein light emission surfaces of the light sources are separated from one another by spacings therebetween, and the primary lens distributes light emitted from the light sources such that the spacings in the intermediate light distribution cannot be perceived.

Abstract
The present invention is directed toward light module for a motor vehicle headlamp that has numerous light sources, a primary lens, and a secondary lens. The primary lens is configured to collect light emitted from the light sources, and to convert this light to an intermediate light distribution having the form of a closed, illuminating surface area. The secondary lens has an object-side focal length, and the primary lens and the secondary lens are disposed such that the intermediate light distribution lies, at a spacing of this focal length, in the beam path in front of the secondary lens. The light emission surfaces of the light sources are separated from one another by spacings lying between them, and the primary lens is configured to distribute the light emitted from the light sources such that the spacings in the intermediate light distribution can no longer be perceived.
