Abstract
The invention relates to a light source () comprising at least one light module () and one control module () provided with a control electronics system. The invention also relates to an image-generating unit () for a head-up display provided with an inventive light source (). Traditional solutions require too much construction space or cannot be mass-produced in order to obtain sufficient brightness. The aim of the invention is to combine a high degree of brightness, little construction space and mass-producibility, particularly for a head-up-display. According to the invention, the light module () and the control module () respectively comprise their own carrier element ()and are firmly connected to a common carrier (). The light module () is connected to the control module () by means of first electrical lines which are configured in such a way that thermally induced relative movements between the control modules () and light module () are received in a trouble-free manner by modification of the form of the lines.
