Abstract

A Lighting device for a motor vehicle is provided comprising at least one light source from which light is emitted during operation of the lighting device. An optical component into which the light emanating from the at least one light source enters is also provided, along with a light influencing means having an active surface for selectively influencing individual pixels or groups of pixels of the light. The light influencing means reflects or deflects light incident thereon in such a way that it emerges at least partially from the lighting device. Illumination optics are formed on or in the optical component. The light is reflected or deflected by the illumination optics during operation of the lighting device onto the active surface of the light influencing means. The light influencing means is arranged outside the optical component in such a way that light emanating from the illumination optics emerges from the optical component, impinges on the active surface of the light influencing means, is reflected or deflected by the latter, and then re-enters into the optical component.
