ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle headlamp comprises a source, a mirror possessing first and second focal regions, and a converging lens. The source is located in the first focal region and the lens possesses a focus situated in the second focal region. The mirror and the lens have axes which are essentially coincident defining an optical axis of the headlamp, and the headlamp further includes a mask located in the region of the focus of the lens, in order to project a beam an upper cut-off of which is defined by said mask. Finally, the mirror concentrates the light, in the vertical direction, towards a vertical focusing baseline extending substantially horizontally and transversely to the optical axis and passing close to the focus of the lens. The mirror has at least one corrected vertical focusing area able to concentrate the light, in the vertical direction, towards vertical focusing locuses remote from said vertical focusing line in the axial direction, in order thus to increase the thickness of the light reflected by said area.
