Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a lighting device (500) for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the lighting device comprises at least one optical body (1) and at least one mounting device (100) for the at least one optical body (1), wherein the at least one optical body (1) has a number of adjacently arranged ancillary optics (11, 12, 13, 14, 15), wherein each ancillary optics (11-15) is formed from a light-guiding material and each ancillary optics (11-15) has a light-coupling face (11a-15a) and a light-decoupling face (11b-15b), wherein the at least one mounting device (100) has at least one receptacle (111, 112, 113, 114, 115) for each ancillary optics (11-15), and wherein receptacles (111-115) are delimited by delimiting walls (111′, 112′, 113′, 114′, 115′), wherein the delimiting walls (111′, 112′, 113′, 114′, 115′) have boundary edges (111a′, 112a′, 113a′, 114a′, 115a′) on the light exit side, which boundary edges (111a′, 112a′, 113a′, 114a′, 115a′) are imaged, in a light distribution produced by means of the at least one optical body (1), as light-dark edges between the partial light distributions produced by the individual ancillary optics (11-15), and wherein a projection arrangement, preferably a projection lens (501), is arranged downstream of the at least one optical body (1) in the light exit direction, and wherein the ancillary optics (11-15) are arranged and/or configured in such a way that the light-decoupling faces (11b-15b) of the ancillary optics (11-15) protrude in the light exit direction beyond the boundary edges (111a′, 112a′, 113a′, 114a′, 115a′) of the delimiting walls (111′, 112′, 113′, 114′, 115′).
