  • Patent number: 11235700
    Abstract: An illumination device for a motor vehicle includes a multi-aperture projection display having a lighting means for illuminating a plurality of image segments and an array of projection lenses, where each projection lens is assigned an image segment, from the plurality of image segments, that is projected into a projection plane by way of a corresponding one of the projection lens, such that a light distribution is produced from all of the projected image segments in the projection plane. The array of projection lenses comprises a plurality of subarrays, where a respective subarray contains the same projection lenses and the projection lenses of different subarrays differ from one another such that each subarray generates a surface area in the light distribution and a size and/or a position of the generated surface areas varies between the plurality of subarrays.

  • Patent number: 10746369
    Abstract: A headlamp for a motor vehicle has a multi-aperture projection display, which has a lighting device and a planar image generator and an array of projection lenses, wherein each projection lens is associated with a segment of the planar image generator such that, when the array is illuminated by the lighting device, at least some of the segments are projected in front of the headlamp by the associated projection lenses in order to produce at least one light distribution. Predetermined segments from the segments of the planar image generator in one or more partial areas of the planar image generator are designed and arranged in relation to each other in such a way that, when the illuminant is switched off, a symbol arrangement perceptible to an observer is presented on the planar image generator at a viewing angle of the observer in a predetermined viewing angle range toward the headlamp.
