Abstract

An illuminating device for vehicles, including a first light unit, which contains a first light source having a number of first light pixels for generating a first partial light distribution including a second light unit, which contains a second light source having a number of second light pixels for generating a second partial light distribution. The second light pixels are arranged in a boundary region of the second light source and are controllable as a group in such a way that a number of the second light pixels controlled as a group in the boundary region of the second light source per unit of surface area increases from a first end of the boundary region in the direction of a second end of the boundary region.
