COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. 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.

Abstract
A communication device for a vehicle which can transmit information in the form of light signals to other road users, wherein the communication device has at least one light source from which light emerges when operating the communication device, and controllable light influencer which selectively deflect or reflect or shade at least a portion of the light emanating from the at least one light source such that the at least one portion of the light exits the communication device as a light signal, or wherein the communication device comprises an array of light sources that can selectively generate light that at least partially emerges as a light signal from the communication device.
