Abstract
An illumination device for a motor vehicle headlight for producing light distribution with a cut-off line. The device includes a light-permeable body, a light injection element and a light source, wherein the light injection element is designed to inject light emitted by the light source into the light-permeable body. The light injection element has a first deflection structure, which is configured such that light from the light source which enters the light injection element and strikes the deflection structure is totally reflected. The totally reflected light is directed at a second deflection structure which is arranged on an upper boundary surface of the light-guiding body and configured such that the light striking it is deflected to a first surface region of a first lower boundary surface of a screen device. The surface region deflects the light striking it into a region of the projection device, which projects the light as a sign light light beam into a region of the light distribution located above the cut-off line as additional light distribution, e.g., as sign light light distribution.
