Abstract: The invention relates to a light-reflecting object having a multiplicity of individually aligned mirrors, which are suitable for reflecting incident light such that the reflected light forms a predefined pattern on a projection surface. Provision is made for the multiplicity of mirrors to be formed or arranged on a curved target surface of the object, wherein each of the mirrors on the curved target surface of the object is aligned such that it images light, which is incident from a specified direction, onto exactly one pixel of the projection surface, and wherein the pattern that is formed on the projection surface is formed by the multiplicity of the pixels which are thus produced. The invention furthermore relates to a method for providing such a light-reflecting object.
