Abstract
A lighting device for a motor vehicle, in particular a high-definition headlamp, includes an imaging component that has an active surface on which light-emitting diodes or laser diodes are arranged in a matrix to generate pixels in a light distribution in a targeted manner, and a projection lens with which the light emitted from the active surface is projected outward from the motor vehicle when the lighting device is in operation. The lighting device is designed to switch the projection lens from a first setting to a second and from the second setting to the first. The projection lens has a first focal length in the first setting, and a second focal length in the second setting, which is greater than the first focal length.
