Overhead Signlight Functionality

“Overhead signlights” have become a top-of-the-mind issue for both headlight manufacturers and lawmakers. In general, it’s already obvious that overhead signlights will be subject to stringent requirements. One thing is clear:

A satisfactory solution will have to make it possible to comply with legal requirements and illuminate country-specific traffic signs without blinding the drivers of oncoming vehicles. With the projection lenses especially developed by Docter Optics, optimal overhead signlight functionality can be integrated directly into the lenses themselves as a function of customer specifications, the type of light source used and differences in country-specific requirements or laws.

 
The advanced technology employed by Docter Optics in the production of molded optical components enables headlight manufacturers to simplify the design of their projection modules considerably since additional apertures and complex shutter designs are no longer necessary. The beam of light for the overhead signlight is simply shaped by the lens itself.
