Communication device for a vehicle

A communication device for a vehicle, which is able to transmit information to other road users in the form of light signals, the communication device comprising:

• at least one light source from which light emerges during operation of the communication device or an array of light sources adapted to selectively generate light which at least partially emerge from the communication device in the form of a light signal;
• and
• a controllable light influencer that is adapted to selectively deflect or reflect or shade at least a portion of the light emerging from the at least one light source such that the at least one portion of the light emerges as a light signal from the communication device;
• and
• an imaging optical system through which the at least one portion of the light deflected or reflected or shaded by the light influencer or the light generated by the array of light sources at least partially moves before exiting the communication device.
