Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0933586A1] The lamp includes the source mounted transversely w.r.t. the mirror axis. The headlamp for a motor vehicle comprises a light source (10) and a mirror (20) and a cover glass. The light source is orientated transversely w.r.t. the optical axis of the mirror. The mirror includes at least one region (Z) which is designed to generate images of the source, with an inclination which varies in a limited interval about a given inclination w.r.t. the horizontal. An optical correction system is designed to position these images along the length of an inclined part of the a cut through the beam, generated by the mirror. The inclination of this part corresponds to the given inclination of the images.
