Optical structure for a lighting device for a motor vehicle headlight

An optical structure (100) for a lighting device (1) of a motor vehicle headlight, wherein light radiated from the lighting device (1) forms a predefined light distribution (LV1), the optical structure comprising:

• at least one optics element (5, 6);
• and
• a plurality of optical structural elements (110) which are distributed over at least one defined area (111) of the at least one optics element and which are configured to provide a light-scattering effect,
• wherein the at least one defined area (111) is divided into a virtual, hexagonal grid structure (200) and the plurality of optical structural elements are arranged at grid points (201), or between the grid points (201), of the virtual, hexagonal grid structure (200),
• wherein the predefined light distribution (LV1) comprises a segmented light distribution formed from individual light distributions (LS1), wherein the individual light distributions (LS1) are arranged inn rows and m columns, wherein n>1, m≥1 or n≥1, m>1,
• wherein the optical structure (100) of the lighting device (1) is associated with the lighting device (1) or is part of the lighting device (1) such that substantially all light from the lighting device (1) passes through the optical structure (100), and the unmodified light distribution produced by the lighting device (1) is modified by the optical structure (100) into a predefinable, modified light distribution (LV2),
• wherein the predefinable, modified light distribution (LV2) is formed by convolution of the unmodified light distribution with a scattering function (PSF),
• wherein adjacent optical structural elements (110) of the plurality of optical structural elements (i) are arranged in contact with one another, or (ii) are isolated from one another and do not contact one another,
• wherein the optical structural elements (110) are configured to provide that at least some of the light of the lighting device (1) is deflected into boundary regions, in each of which two individual light distributions are arranged adjacently to one another, and
• wherein the plurality of optical structural elements is arranged on at least one boundary surface of the at least one optics element, and the at least one optics element is a diffusing plate or covering plate (6) of the lighting device (1).
