An illumination device is provided for a motor vehicle, including a light source consisting of a number of semiconductor diodes, and a scanner onto which a light beam produced by light of the light source falls and which modifies the position of the light beam during operation of the illumination device and thereby moves a light spot generated by the light beam at a distance from the illumination device. The moved light spot allows a predetermined light distribution to be generated. The illumination device is characterized in that a beam delimiting device, which allows the cross-section of the light beam to be delimited along a predetermined boundary, is provided between the light source and the scanner. The illumination device is designed in such a way that one or more light-shadow lines can be formed in the predetermined light distribution by way of at least one section of the predetermined boundary.

A moving-body light-emitting device for a vehicle includes: a light source including a light-emitting element; a substrate on which the light source is provided; a first lens that covers the light-emitting element and includes a curved surface that transmits light emitted from the light-emitting element, the curved surface including a first curved surface and a second curved surface; and a reflective surface that covers the first curved surface of the first lens and reflects the light transmitted through the first lens. The second curved surface of the first lens is not covered with the reflective surface, and transmits the light reflected by the reflective surface.

The light module for motor vehicle offers a light source associated with a first part of an imaging system so as to produce a reflected beam coincident with the reflection surface of a high definition pixellated spatial light modulator, which makes it possible to avoid unnecessarily lighting the periphery of the spatial light modulator. The light source consists essentially in one or more light emitting diodes and/or has a punctiform or virtually punctiform appearance. The reflected radiation arrives on a second part of the imaging system, this part characteristically consisting in an optical projection system, some of whose elements can form a back focussing system. The module remains compact and is clearly suitable for providing adaptive lighting in a homogeneous, efficient manner and with high resolution.
