BACKGROUND
1. Field
The embodiment relates to a lamp unit and a lighting system for a vehicle.
2. Description of Related Art
In general, a lamp refers to a device for providing or controlling light for the specific purpose. An incandescent bulb, a fluorescent lamp, a neon lamp, etc., may be used as a light source of the lamp, and recently, a light emitting diode (LED) is also being used. The LED is a device which converts an electrical signal into infrared ray or light by using compound semiconductor characteristics. Unlike the fluorescent lamp, the LED does not use harmful substances such as mercury or the like and causes less environmental pollution. The LED has a longer lifespan than those of the incandescent bulb, the fluorescent lamp and the neon lamp. Compared with the incandescent bulb, the fluorescent lamp and the neon lamp, the LED has low power consumption, less glare and excellent visibility due to high color temperature.
A lamp unit may be used in a backlight, a display device, a lighting lamp, an indicating lamp for a vehicle, or a head lamp, etc. In particular, since the lamp unit used in the vehicle is very closely related to safe driving of the vehicle, it is very important to allow a driver of the vehicle adjacent to a traveling vehicle to clearly identify the light emitting states. Therefore, it is necessary that the lamp unit used in the vehicle should obtain not only the light intensity appropriate for safe driving standards but also the aesthetic features of the vehicle's appearance.
Also, the vehicle includes a lighting device which is used to allow a driver to see objects well in a traveling direction when driving and is used to cause drivers of other vehicles and road users to recognize the driving conditions of his/her own vehicle.
Here, the lighting device is a head lamp which is attached to the front of the vehicle and functions to throw light on the road along which the vehicle moves forward. Usually, the head lamp is formed by integrally attaching a low beam for irradiating a short distance and a high beam for irradiating a long distance, so that the low beam or the high beam is lighted according to the driver's choice.
The lighting pattern of the head lamp is required to meet a basic objective to throw light as much as possible in such a manner that the driver is able to obtain the best driving visibility, and is required to also meet an objective to maintain the minimum glare in such a manner that a driver of another vehicle coming from the opposite lane is able to safely drive.
However, such a head lamp for a vehicle provides only fixed directional lighting irrespective of the variously changing ambient conditions, road conditions and the state of the vehicle, and cannot reflect the changes according to the ambient conditions when driving.
Therefore, in a condition where a front visibility is extremely unfavorable, for example, fog, heavy rain or the like, it is hard for the conventional head lamp to obtain sufficient visibility required for safe driving of the driver. Further, in a highway where vehicles travel at a high speed, a larger amount of light capable of traveling a longer distance is necessary due to the speed of the vehicle. However, the conventional head lamp provides a lighting pattern of a general road without satisfying the requirement.
Also, while it is important to obtain ambient visibility and short distance visibility rather than long distance visibility in roads in cities well-equipped with lighting, the conventional head lamp is configured to be suitable for a medium distance and a long distance, so that energy cannot be efficiently utilized.
Additionally, the conventional head lamp is configured to light only the front of the vehicle. Therefore, when the vehicle is tilted by driving on the sloping road of an intersection or a curved road, it is not possible to light in such a manner that the driver can obtain visibility appropriate for this case.
The above references are incorporated by reference herein where appropriate for appropriate teachings of additional or alternative details, features and/or technical background.

However, the embodiments and the constitution illustrated in the drawings are merely preferable embodiments, so that it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications can exist which can replace the embodiments described in the time of the application. Also, in the detailed description of the operation principle of the exemplary embodiment, the detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein is omitted to avoid making the subject matter of the present invention unclear. The below-mentioned terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the embodiment. The meaning of each term should be construed based on this entire specification. Throughout the drawings, parts having similar functions and operations are given the same reference numeral.
The embodiment provides a lighting system for a vehicle. In the lighting system for a vehicle in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, a sensor unit capable of sensing ambient conditions of the vehicle is interlinked with an electronic control unit capable of controlling the head lamp of the vehicle, and individually operable lamp units are employed, so that it is possible to implement a variety of lighting patterns appropriate for the ambient conditions of the vehicle, to improve the convenience for users by more efficiently controlling the vehicle, and to save energy.
[Lighting System According to the Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a lighting system according to an embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicle lighting system 10 according to the embodiment may include a sensor unit 100, an electronic control unit (ECU) 700 and a head lamp 305 including a lamp unit. The sensor unit 100 is able to sense the ambient conditions of the vehicle. The sensor unit 100 may include at least any one of a speed sensor 110 sensing the speed of the vehicle, an optical sensor 120 sensing the light intensity, a motion sensor 130 sensing the movement of the vehicle, for example, forward and backward movement, right and left turning, etc., a tilt sensor 140 sensing the tilt of the vehicle, an image sensor 150 like CMOS or CCD, etc., sensing the ambient images of the vehicle, a radar sensor 160 sensing a distance between an obstacle and the vehicle or between the vehicle and another vehicle, a rain sensor 170 sensing moisture like rainwater, and a location information sensor 180. However, the sensor unit 100 is not limited to include the aforementioned sensors, and may include any sensor capable of sensing the ambient conditions of the vehicle. For example, the sensor unit 100 may include a sensor capable of sensing sound, wind, smoke, gravity, location, etc. Through the sensor unit 100, it is possible to sense various ambient conditions of the vehicle.
The ECU 700 is able to individually drive light sources constituting a lamp unit in accordance with the sensing result produced by the sensor unit 100. For example, when the lamp unit includes a plurality of light source arrays, the ECU 700 is able to individually drive the plurality of the light source arrays in accordance with the sensing result produced by the sensor unit 100. Therefore, a lighting pattern can be implemented, which is appropriate for the ambient conditions of the vehicle.
The ECU 700 may include a driving mode determination unit 710 which determines the driving mode of the vehicle in accordance with the driving environment by means of the sensing value sensed by the sensor unit 100 and may include a driving signal output unit 720 which outputs a driving signal for driving the lamp unit on the basis of the driving mode determined by the driving mode determination unit 710.
Here, the driving mode determined by the driving mode decision unit 710 may be comprised of a normal driving mode, a high-speed driving mode, a slow driving mode, a parking mode, a stop mode, an city driving mode, a suburban driving mode, a curve driving mode, a slope driving mode, a rain driving mode, an oncoming vehicle anti-glare driving mode. This will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings.
The head lamp 305 may include the lamp unit which includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed on the first substrate, and a plurality of light source arrays formed by disposing a plurality of the light sources on the second substrate. A first light source array and a second light source array are adjacent to each other and are electrically isolated from each other. The first light source array and the second light source array may be individually driven.
Here, the head lamp 305 may further include a reflector which changes the direction of light generated from the lamp unit, and a lens which refracts the light reflected from the reflector. The light source may be a light emitting diode.
As such, through the use of the lamp unit which can be individually driven, it is possible to provide a variety of beam patterns, light colors and luminous fluxes of light in accordance with the ambient conditions of the vehicle. An optimum luminous flux can be provided by a small number of the light sources and the overall size of the lamp unit can be reduced. Also, there is no need to provide a separate driving device which pivots the lamp unit in the up, down, right and left directions.
The lamp unit will be described in detail later in FIGS. 10 to 19.
The vehicle lighting system according to the embodiment may further include a display unit 600 which displays an image sensed by the sensor unit 100. For example, the vehicle lighting system may further include the display unit 600 which displays an image sensed by the image sensor 150. The display unit 600 may be disposed within the vehicle such that the driver can watch the display unit 600. For instance, the display unit 600 may be disposed on the rearview mirror.
Also, the vehicle lighting system according to the embodiment may further include a side lighting unit 505 disposed on both sides of the vehicle, e.g., the side or rear of the outside mirror, etc.
When the parking mode is determined by the driving mode determination unit 710, the side lighting unit 505 is operated, and then light is provided on both sides of the parking vehicle, so that the convenience for the driver can be enhanced.

As shown in FIGS. 29a to 29c, the second substrate 200 may include the first upper surface 210 and the second upper surface 220, and the side surface 230 between the first upper surface 210 and the second upper surface 220.
Here, the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200 may be higher than the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200. A side surface 230 between the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200 and the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200 may be tilted at a certain angle with respect to the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200 or the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200.
That is, an angle between the side surface 230 of the second substrate 200 and the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200 may be an obtuse angle.
The light sources 330-1 included in the second light source array 330 may be disposed on the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200, the light sources 310-1 included in the first light source array 310 may be disposed on the side surface 230 of the second substrate 200, and no light source may be disposed on the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200.

The reason that the light sources 310-1 included in the first light source array 310 emit light in the third direction is that the light sources 310-1 included in the first light source array 310 are disposed on the inclined side surface of the second substrate 200.
As shown in FIG. 29b, the light sources 330-1 included in the second light source array 330 may emit light in the first direction, and the light sources 310-1 included in the first light source array 310 may emit light in a fourth direction forming a predetermined angle with the first direction.

Here, the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200 may be higher than the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200. A side surface 230 between the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200 and the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200 may be tilted at a certain angle with respect to the first upper surface 210 of the second substrate 200 or the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200.
That is, an angle between the side surface 230 of the second substrate 200 and the second upper surface 220 of the second substrate 200 may be an obtuse angle.

In another example, the light source included in the first light source array 310 may emit the color light different from the color light emitted from the neighboring ones of the light sources included in the second light source array 330.
As described above, the light sources included in the light source array may generate the same color light, and, according to circumstances, at least one of the light sources included in the light source array may generate color light different from those generated from the other light sources.
Accordingly, in the embodiment, the light sources generating various color lights may be disposed in various ways in the light source arrays, thereby realizing beam patterns having various colors.
