Patent attributes
Floor projection device for a motor vehicle for producing at least one floor projection, wherein the floor projection device has an illuminant and a projection means, wherein the illuminant is configured to generate and at least partially emit light onto the projection means, wherein the projection means is configured to project the light which is emitted by the illuminant onto the projection means, in a state of the floor projection device integrated into the motor vehicle, onto a carriageway as a floor projection to the side of the motor vehicle, wherein the floor projection comprises at least two light segments separated from one another, wherein the illuminant has for this purpose at least two individually controllable light sources, wherein each light segment is assigned at least one light source, wherein the projection means has a focal point or a focal line, wherein at least one of the at least two light sources is arranged offset relative to the focal point or focal line of the projection means, wherein a first portion of the light is emitted along a first beam direction, which is directed directly onto the projection means, wherein a second portion of the light is emitted in a second beam direction, which is not directed directly onto the projection means, wherein the floor projection device has absorption means and/or deflection means, which are configured to at least partially absorb and/or deflect the second portion of the light such that the second portion of the light does not reach the projection means.
