A lighting device for projecting an image onto the ground around a motor vehicle. The lighting device includes a light source capable of producing a light beam, a first mask with a first pattern and a second pattern, the first mask being movable between a first position and a second position, a second mask with a third pattern and a fourth pattern, the second mask being movable between a first position and a second position, an actuator configured to move the first mask between its first position and its second position, and a drive means configured to optionally move the second mask between its first position and its second position at the same time as the first mask.

A lamp (1) for a vehicle, which lamp (1) has an image generator (2), a projection system (3) and an adaptive aperture device (4), wherein the aperture device (4) has a first opening (5) in a first plane (6) and a second opening (7) in a second plane (8) along the beam path, wherein, during operation of the lamp (1), a beam (20) is reduced through the first opening (5) to a first portion of the beam and this first portion is reduced through the second opening (7) to a residual portion of the beam (20), wherein the first opening (5) in the first plane (6) and the second opening (7) in the second plane (8) are displaceable relative to one another.

A luminous emblem has an outer lens configuring a design of the luminous emblem, a housing, a light-emitting element accommodated in a space sealed by the housing and the outer lens and configured to emit light toward the outer lens, and a light adjustment layer provided between the light-emitting element and the outer lens. The light adjustment layer includes a light transmissive portion configured to transmit light emitted from the light-emitting element, and a light adjustment portion configured to adjust a brightness or a color of the light emitted from the light-emitting element.

In a drawing lamp configured to form a drawing light distribution pattern, it is possible to form the drawing light distribution pattern without giving discomfort to the surroundings. Light is emitted from a drawing unit 20 to a lamp front via a translucent cover 14. In this case, a reflecting mirror 40 that reflects the light emitted from the drawing unit 20 downward is disposed between the drawing unit 20 and the translucent cover 14. In addition, the reflecting mirror 40 is disposed at a position overlapping with a light emitting region A of the drawing unit 20 in an up-down direction. As a result, it is possible to effectively reduce light emission from the drawing unit 20 itself from being visually recognized when a drawing lamp 10 is ON and to prevent unnecessary discomfort from being given to other vehicles, pedestrians, and the like.
