  • Publication number: 20210162910
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle headlamp, comprising a primary optical element (100) which is arranged in the main beam direction of a first light fixture (50) and which has a light coupling-in surface (110) for coupling in light into the primary optical element (100), a light coupling-out surface (120) as well as a lateral surface which extends between the light coupling-in surface (110) and the light coupling-out surface (120) and on which the light coupled in can be relayed by total reflection in the direction of the light coupling-out surface (120) of the primary optical element (100), a secondary optical element (200) which is arranged after the light coupling-out surface (120) of the primary optical element (100) and which has a light coupling-in surface (210) and a light coupling-out surface (220), and an arranged reflector (400, 410, 420), the secondary optical element (200, 250, 500) being designed as part of a quadric, the secondary optical element (200, 250, 500) bein

  • Publication number: 20210048161
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle headlight (1) having a lamp unit (2), which has at least one light source (3) and an optical attachment (4) having a light emission surface (5), and having a projection lens (7) downstream of the lamp unit, wherein the optical attachment has a plurality of waveguide elements (6), each having a light coupling surface (8) for feeding in light from the at least one light source and having light decoupling surfaces (9) arranged in the light emission surface of the optical attachment and projects a light pattern forward in the traffic space, the waveguide elements extend between the light coupling surface and the light decoupling surface, wherein the light decoupling surface has a greater area than the light coupling surface, and each waveguide element is laterally delimited by two lateral surfaces (10), from above by a roof surface (11) and below by a floor surface (12) and tapers between the light decoupling surface and the light coupling surface, wherein the width of the
