Abstract

Vorgestellt wird ein Lichtmodul für einen Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfer (30) mit einer Lichtleiteranordnung (10) mit wenigstens einem erstem Lichtleiterzweig (12) und einem zweiten Lichtleiterzweig (14). Jeder der beiden Zweige weist eine Lichtaustrittsfläche (12.1, 14.1) auf. Die Lichtaustrittsfläche (12.2, 14.2) wird jeweils von zwei Schmalseiten (12.3, 12.4, 14.3, 14.4) begrenzt. Die beiden Zweige (12, 14) sind so angeordnet, dass eine Schmalseite (12.4) des ersten Zweiges (12) parallel und unmittelbar benachbart zu einer Schmalseite (14.3) der Lichtaustrittsfläche des zweiten Zweiges (14) angeordnet ist. Jeder Zweig weist zwei Transportflächen (12.7, 12.8, 14.7, 14.8) auf. Das Lichtmodul zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Transportflächen Flächennormalen (12.7n, 12.8n, 14.7n, 14.8n) mit einer Richtungskomponente aufweisen, die mehr zu einer ersten Schmalseite (12.3, 12.4) der beiden Schmalseiten des Zweiges als zu einer zweiten Schmalseite (12.4, 14.4) der beiden Schmalseiten des Zweiges weist, wobei die unmittelbar benachbart und parallel zueinander liegenden Schmalseiten eine zweite Schmalseite (12.4) des ersten Zweiges und eine erste Schmalseite (14.3) des zweiten Zweiges sind.

Disclosed is a light module for a motor vehicle headlight (30) with a light guide arrangement (10) with at least a first light guide branch (12) and a second light guide branch (14). Each of the two branches has a light exit surface (12.1, 14.1). The light exit surface (12.2, 14.2) is limited in each case by two narrow sides (12.3, 12.4, 14.3, 14.4). The two branches (12, 14) are arranged so that a narrow side (12.4) of the first branch (12) is arranged parallel and immediately adjacent to a narrow side (14.3) of the light exit surface of the second branch (14). Each branch has two transport surfaces (12.7, 12.8, 14.7, 14.8). The light module is characterized in that the transport surfaces have surface normals (12.7n, 12.8n, 14.7n, 14.8n) with a directional component which is more to a first narrow side (12.3, 12.4) of the two narrow sides of the branch than to a second narrow side (12.4, 14.4) of the two narrow sides of the branch, wherein the immediately adjacent and parallel narrow sides are a second narrow side (12.4) of the first branch and a first narrow side (14.3) of the second branch.
