Complex reflector for a vehicle headlight, and method for the manufacture of the reflector

摘要

A reflector (10) for a vehicle headlight is described, capable of illuminating the surrounding space according to a predetermined light distribution. The reflector (10) is formed of a plurality of sectors (11) capable of reflecting the light beam emitted by a light source (20) of the headlight and directing it into predetermined regions of said light distribution. The major part of the sectors (11) of the reflector (10) is delimited at least in part by an edge (12) in which the divergence value (&thetas;) of the light beam reflected at said edge portions (12) is constant. The sectors (11) delimited by edge portions (12) having lower values of the angle of spread (&thetas;) are arranged to direct the light beam reflected thereby into the regions of the light distribution having a higher spatial gradient of illuminance. <IMAGE>
