Lighting device for a motor vehicle

A lighting device for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a light source with numerous light-emitting diodes with which pixels in a light distribution generated outside the motor vehicle are generated in a targeted manner,
• wherein each of the light-emitting diodes has a light-emitting surface (L1-L48),
• wherein the light-emitting surfaces (L1-L48) are placed in first and second rows to form a matrix, in which the light distribution extends horizontally (X) and vertically (Y) outside the motor vehicle,
• wherein the light source contains at least one first light-emitting diode with first light-emitting surfaces (L1-L24), and at least one second light-emitting diode with second light-emitting surfaces (L27-L46),
• wherein the first light-emitting surfaces (L1-L24) are smaller than the second light-emitting surfaces (L27-L46),
• wherein the at least one first light-emitting diode is configured to operate with a first current, and the at least one second light-emitting diode is configured to operate with a second current,
• wherein the first current is weaker than the second,
• wherein light-emitting diodes in the light source are in at least two rows, wherein the rows extend horizontally (X) and are adjacent to one another vertically (Y),
• wherein at least one row of light-emitting diodes has at least one intermediate connection for the anodes and cathodes in the light-emitting diodes, such that partial rows of light-emitting diodes are formed to the left and right of each intermediate connection, in which the light-emitting diodes can be operated with different currents.
