Abstract

A headlamp for a motor vehicle has a multi-aperture projection display, which has a lighting device and a planar image generator and an array of projection lenses, wherein each projection lens is associated with a segment of the planar image generator such that, when the array is illuminated by the lighting device, at least some of the segments are projected in front of the headlamp by the associated projection lenses in order to produce at least one light distribution. Predetermined segments from the segments of the planar image generator in one or more partial areas of the planar image generator are designed and arranged in relation to each other in such a way that, when the illuminant is switched off, a symbol arrangement perceptible to an observer is presented on the planar image generator at a viewing angle of the observer in a predetermined viewing angle range toward the headlamp.
