Patent ID: 8096689

Claim:
A motor-vehicle headlight, comprising: at least one light-emitting diode, and an apparatus for controllable manipulation of the beam path of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the light-emitting diode˜ the apparatus for controllable manipulation of the beam path comprising a deflection mirror shaped as an n-edged pane, n being an integer greater than two, and the deflection mirror having at least two mirror surfaces, each mirror surface arranged at an edge of the pane, wherein the deflection mirror pivots about a longitudinal axis of the pane such that different mirror surfaces are illuminated by the electromagnetic radiation as the deflection mirror pivots about the longitudinal axis, wherein each mirror surface has a different optical characteristic that is assigned to a light function, the deflection mirror is rotatable about an angle such that light of the at least one light-emitting diode illuminates a first or second of the at least two mirror surfaces, and the assigned light functions of the mirror surfaces are chosen from at least two different of the following light functions such that the motor-vehicle headlight emits light with an emission characteristic assigned to the chosen light function: urban driving light; dipped-beam; main-beam; and motorway light, wherein the at least one light-emitting diode is a light source of the motor-vehicle headlight.
