Illumination device () for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising a first light guide (), a second light guide (), an optical device () with a first () and second light input surface () and a first () and second light output surface (), wherein the light from the first light guide () can be injected into the optical device (), passes through the optical device () and can exit via the first light output surface (), wherein the light from the second light guide () can be injected into the optical device (), passes through the optical device () and can exit via the second light output surface (), wherein the first light output surface () is formed from a plurality of first surface elements () and the second light output surface () is formed from a plurality of second surface elements (), wherein the first () and second surface elements () are arranged alternately with respect to one another in such a way that they form a step-like structure, wherein a first () surface element with a subsequent second surface element () respectively form a step, wherein the first surface element () forms an angle of 45° to 135° with the subsequent second surface element ().

Illumination device for a motor vehicle headlamp

The invention relates to a lighting device () for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising:

Lighting device for a motor vehicle headlight

The invention relates to a lighting device () for a motor vehicle headlight for generating a light pattern with a light-shadow line, wherein the lighting device comprises a light source (), a light-permeable body (), a light injection element () for injecting light which the at least one light source () emits, and a projection device (). The light-permeable body () has an aperture device () with an aperture edge region (). A light beam (S) spreading in the optical element () is displayed by the projection device () as a light pattern (LV) with a light-shadow line (HD), with the light-shadow line (HD) being determined by the aperture edge region () of the aperture device (). At least one light guide element () is arranged on the optical element (), which light guide element has a light guide element light incoupling face () and a light guide element light outcoupling face (), the at least one light guide element () being arranged on the optical element () in such a manner that light (S) is injected from the light injection element () via the light guide element light incoupling face () into the at least one light guide element (), spreads within this, and enters the optical element () again via the light guide element light outcoupling face (), the light guide element light outcoupling face () of the at least one light guide element () issuing into the optical element () in such a manner that the at least one light guide element light outcoupling face () lies beneath the aperture edge region () as considered in the vertical direction (Z), so that the light rays (S) re-entering the optical element () from the projection optical assembly () are projected as a sign-light light beam (SL) into a region (B) of the light pattern located above the light-shadow line, and are displayed in the light pattern as a sign-light light pattern (SV), for instance.

Lighting device for a motor vehicle headlight and motor vehicle headlight

The invention relates to a light module for a motor vehicle headlamp, comprising: at least one light source () and at least one projection device (), the projection device () having an entry optical unit () and an exit optical unit (), the entry optical unit () being designed to form an intermediate image from light emitted by the at least one light source () in an intermediate image plane, which lies between the entry optical unit () and the exit optical unit () and is substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of the projection device (), and the exit optical unit () being designed to image the intermediate image into a region in front of the light module in the form of a light distribution of a first predefined type, at least one additional light source () being provided, which at least one additional light source () is designed to emit light between the entry optical unit () and the exit optical unit (); the exit optical unit () being designed to image the light emitted by the at least one additional light source () into the region in front of the light module in the form of a light distribution of a second predefined type; the entry optical unit () and the at least one additional light source () being designed in such a way and being associated with each other in such a way that neither the at least one additional light source () nor the light emitted by the at least one additional light source () changes the intermediate image.
