  • Patent number: 11774058
    Abstract: An illumination device (10) for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the illumination device (10) comprises: a light source (50) for irradiating a light beam in a first direction of radiation (X1), a first deflection device (100) configured to deflect the light beam in a second direction of radiation (X2), and a second deflection device (200) for deflecting the light beam deflected by the first deflection device (100) in a third direction of radiation (X3) and for producing a light distribution in front of the illumination device (10), wherein the illumination device comprises at least one expanding optic (300) with a focus (F1), wherein said expanding optic (300) is associated with the at least one light source (50) and is configured to expand the light beam emitted by the light source (50) in the direction of the first direction of radiation (X1), wherein the at least one light source (50) is arranged in the direction of the first direction of radiation (X1) between the at least one expanding optic (300)

  • Patent number: 11698175
    Abstract: A lighting device (10) for a motor vehicle headlight, comprising: a first light module (100) for generating a low beam distribution, a second light module (200) for generating a high beam distribution having a light-guiding body (220), in which light-guiding body (220) light can be irradiated via a coupling surface (221) and can be decoupled via a decoupling surface (222), the light-guiding body (220) having a first reflective surface (223a) on a roof side (223), and a projection lens (500) that is configured to image the light that can be generated by the first and second light modules (100, 200) in front of the lighting device (10), the light-guiding body (220) being designed in such a way that an aperture for part of the light that can be generated by the first light module (100) is arranged between the first light module (100) and the projection lens (500), the lighting device (10) comprising a third light module (300) for generating an additional light distribution, and the light-guiding body (220)
