  • Lighting device for a motor vehicle headlight
    Patent number: 12253228
    Abstract: Illumination device (10) for a motor vehicle headlight for producing segmented full beam distribution (FL), wherein the illumination device (10) comprises the following for this purpose: an optical element (100), comprising light guiding bodies (200) for forming the definable segment full beam distribution (FL), which light guiding bodies (200) respectively have a light entry surface (210) and an exit surface (220), projection optics (300) arranged downstream of the beam path of the optical element (100) having an optical axis (A), which projection optics (300) are designed to project the light exiting from the common exit surface (200a) in front of the illumination device (10) in the direction of a main emission direction (X), and wherein each light guiding body (200) has two lateral side surfaces (230a, 230b) and an upper and a lower side surface (240a, 240b), wherein the optical element (100) has a first and a second light emission half (L1, L2), which can be delimited from one another by a virtual vert
