Abstract
A lighting device is provided for a motor vehicle, and contains a light source with numerous light-emitting diodes with which pixels in a light distribution generated outside the motor vehicle are generated in a targeted manner. Each of the light-emitting diodes has a light-emitting surface. The light-emitting surfaces are placed in first and second rows to form a matrix, in which the light distribution extends horizontally (X) and vertically (Y) outside the motor vehicle. The light source contains at least one first light-emitting diode with first light-emitting surfaces, and at least one second light-emitting diode with second light-emitting surfaces. The first light-emitting surfaces are smaller than the second light-emitting surfaces. The lighting device operates the at least one first light-emitting diode with a first current, and the at least one second light-emitting diode with a second current. The first current is weaker than the second.
