Patent ID: 7963684

Claim:
Projection module for a headlamp mounted to the front of an automobile, with the module comprising; at least one semiconductor emission source emitting electromagnetic radiation and thermally connected with a heat sink; a reflector to reflect the emitted irradiation; a baffle arrangement to shade at least a portion of the reflected irradiation mounted co-planar to the at least one semiconductor emission source; and a projection lens to project the reflected irradiation and a lens bracket, the irradiation path being from the emission source to the reflector then passing by the baffle arrangement and directly through the projection lens to create a desired emission distribution from the projection module in a first direction towards the front of the automobile; characterized in that the at least one emission source is mounted on the rear side of the baffle arrangement with the main irradiation direction of the at least one emission source being directed opposing the first direction and towards a semi-open space created between the baffle arrangement and the reflector, whereby the heat sink and the lens bracket are a single unit and provides a securing frame which holds together the emission source, the reflector, the baffle arrangement, and the projection lens in a defined relationship to one another in order to provide the irradiation path.
