Abstract
Illumination device for a motor vehicle headlight. The device has a light source, a light-permeable body (LPB), a light injection element for injecting light from the light source into the LPB, and a projection device. Light from the light source forms a light distribution with a cut-off line formed by a screen edge of a screen device, which is formed by a boundary surface of the LPB. A sign light light source (SLLS) and a further sign light light injection element (SLLIE) associated with the SLLS are provided. The SLLIE forms the light emitted by the SLLS into a third light beam and directs the third light beam onto the boundary surface, which re-enter the LPB and are projected by the projection optics device as a sign light light beam into a region of the light distribution lying above the cut-off line and are displayed as sign light light distribution.
