An automotive light comprising: a substantially basin-shaped, rear casing; a front half-shell which is arranged to close the mouth of the rear casing and is provided with a plurality of transparent or semi-transparent sectors (5, 6), each sector (5, 6) being associated with a specific light signal; and at least one lighting assembly that emits light on command, and is located inside the rear casing so as to selectively backlight said transparent or semi-transparent sectors (5, 6) of the front half-shell separately and independently from one another; wherein the lighting assembly comprises: an electrically-powered platelike light source which emits light on command and is placed inside the rear casing to contemporaneously backlight said plurality of transparent or semi-transparent sectors (5, 6) of the front half-shell; an LCD panel that extends inside the rear casing, in front of the transparent or semi-transparent sectors (5, 6) of the front half-shell, so as to be crossed by the light emitted by the platelike light source and directed towards the front half-shell, and is divided into a multitude of pixels each of which is capable of, selectively and alternatively, allowing or preventing the light to pass through the same pixel; a multidirectional collimation device which is placed inside the rear casing, between the platelike light source and the LCD panel, and is adapted to collimate the light emitted by the platelike light source into a plurality of main emission directions (d 0) suitably angled to one another and each of which is uniquely associated to a respective transparent or semi-transparent sector (5, 6) of the front half-shell; and an electronic control unit which is adapted to drive the LCD panel in order to control the passing of the light through the single pixels of the LCD panel so that the platelike light source can selectively backlight each transparent or semi-transparent sector (5, 6) of the front half-shell, or part of the same transparent or semi-transparent sector (5, 6), separately and independently from the other transparent or semi-transparent sectors (5, 6); wherein said platelike light source comprises a multitude of LEDs or other electrically-powered point light sources, which are suitably distributed beneath the transparent or semi-transparent area(s) of said front half-shell to be backlighted, so as to direct the emitted light towards the same transparent or semi-transparent area(s) of said front half-shell; and wherein said multidirectional collimation device is adapted to collimate the light emitted from the platelike light source so that the light beam coming out from each transparent or semi-transparent sector (5, 6) of the front half-shell has a prevailing component parallel to the corresponding main emission direction (d 0), and a predetermined angular distribution of the light around said main emission direction (d 0) in accordance with automotive regulations, and comprises a series of basic collimator members (16, 26) that are located each at a respective LED or other electrically-powered point light source, and are structured to collimate the light rays coming out of the same LED or other electrically-powered point light source each in a respective predetermined direction (d c).
