  • the invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle headlight, which lighting device comprises the following:
  • At least one light source for emitting a light beam in a first emission direction
  • a first deflection device with a deflection surface which is set up to deflect at least part of the light bundle of the at least one light source in a second emission direction
  • a second deflection device with a plurality of independently controllable and movable deflection elements for deflecting at least part of the light beam of the light beam deflected by the first deflection device in a third emission direction and for generating a light distribution in front of the lighting device.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle headlight, comprising at least one lighting device according to the invention.
  • roadway is used here for the sake of simplicity, because of course it depends on the local conditions whether a photograph is actually located on the roadway or extends beyond it, for example onto the edge of the roadway.
  • the light image is described using a project on a vertical surface in accordance with the relevant standards that relate to vehicle lighting technology, wherein a variably controllable reflector surface is formed from a plurality of micromirrors and reflects light beams emitting from a first illuminant in an emission direction of the headlight.
  • Any light functions with different light distributions can be implemented, such as low beam light distribution, cornering light distribution, city light light distribution, motorway light distribution, cornering light distribution, high beam light distribution or the mapping of glare-free high beam.
  • symbol projections can also take place, such as hazard symbols, navigation arrows, manufacturer logos or the like.
  • DLP digital light processing
  • This technology is preferably based on an optoelectronic component that contains the rectangular arrangement in the form of a matrix of micromirrors and their control technology, for example a "digital micromirror device" - or DMD for short.
  • a DMD microsystem is a surface light modulator (Spatial Light Modulator, SLM), which consists of micromirror actuators arranged in a matrix, i.e. tiltable or pivotable reflective surfaces, for example with an edge length of about 7 pm.
  • SLM Surface Light Modulator
  • the mirror surfaces are designed in such a way that they can be moved by the action of electrostatic fields.
  • Each micromirror is individually adjustable in angle and usually has two stable end states, between which, for example, up to 5000 times can be changed within a second.
  • the number of micromirrors corresponds to the resolution of the projected image, whereby a micromirror can represent one or more pixels. DMD chips with high resolutions in the megapixel range are now available.
  • the generated light distribution for example for a glare-free high beam
  • the generated light distribution can be dynamically controlled in such a way that oncoming vehicles are detected and the light distribution generated, for example, by a matrix of LED light sources, is darkened in the direction of the oncoming vehicle.
  • the illumination V orcardi comprises at least one expansion optics having a focal point, which expansion optics which is assigned at least one light source and is adapted to expand the light beam emitted from the light source toward the first irradiation direction, wherein the at least one light source in Direction of the first emission direction is arranged between the at least one expansion optics and the focal point of the expansion optics.

  • the emitted light bundle is enlarged at the first deflection device. This has the effect that a larger area of the first deflecting device can be irradiated while at the same time minimizing the optical path between the light source and the first deflecting device, i.e. overall the installation space of the lighting device can be reduced.
  • Main direction of emission is to be understood as the direction in which the at least one light source emits the strongest or most light as a result of its directivity.
  • the second deflection device is designed as a digital micromirror array with a multiplicity of micromirrors that are arranged next to one another in an array-like manner and can be controlled individually or in groups.
  • the second deflection device can advantageously be designed as a DMD.
  • Each micromirror can be individually adjusted in its angle and usually has two stable end states between which it can be tilted.
  • the shape of the emitted light distribution of the lighting device can be varied by targeted movement of individual or a group of selected deflecting elements.
  • the emitted light distribution can thus be dynamically changed both in terms of its shape (extent and / or extension) and in terms of its brightness distribution.
  • the control of the deflection elements, and thus the variation of the light beam distribution can take place as a function of the operating parameters of the motor vehicle (e.g. vehicle speed, load, steering angle, lateral acceleration, etc.).

  • the lighting device comprises at least two light sources, preferably exactly two light sources.
