Abstract

An illumination device of a motor vehicle includes one or more multi-aperture projection displays, where a respective multi-aperture projection display contain a luminous means for illuminating a plurality of object structures and an array of projection lenses. Each projection lens is assigned to an object structure which is projected by the respective projection lens into at least one projection plane extending perpendicularly or obliquely with respect to the ground in an area surrounding the motor vehicle. The one or more multi-aperture projection displays are configured such that an overall image containing symbols perceivable by a driver of the motor vehicle is produced in the at least one projection plane by the projected object structures.
