Abstract
A motor vehicle headlamp includes numerous semiconductor light sources disposed in a matrix, which can be activated individually for emitting light, numerous primary lenses disposed in a matrix, allocated to the semiconductor light sources, for bundling the light emitted by the semiconductor light sources and for generating a primary light distribution on light exit surfaces of the primary lenses, and a shared secondary lens for projecting the primary light distributions as secondary light distributions onto a roadway in front of the motor vehicle, such that the secondary light distributions illuminate a high-beam region. To reduce the structural height of the secondary lens without losses in terms of efficiency, the motor vehicle headlamp includes a cylindrical lens having a cylinder axis disposed in the beam path of the light module between the primary lenses and the secondary lens that is oriented such that it is substantially horizontal.
