A lighting unit for vehicles has a plurality of semiconductor light sources distributed in a grid. The grid of semiconductor light sources is divided into at least two grid segments, the grid segments being each activatable independently of each other and/or assigned to a different light functions, with an optical element in the beam path of a light beam emitted by the semiconductor light sources. The semiconductor light sources ( 3 ) are arranged on a common carrier substrate ( 5 ), with a chip cover ( 6 ) transparent to light in the direction of light propagation, in that the chip cover ( 6 ) is filled with a light-scattering and/or light-converting auxiliary material ( 8 ) and in that a shading device ( 9 ) is provided such that, in the boundary region between the activated grid segment ( 10 ) and the unactivated grid segment ( 11 ), a relatively steep transition of light intensity is adjustable to form a light/dark boundary. |
