- the data transmission takes place on the internal data bus via a plurality of different data lines for corresponding subsets of LED units.
- this embodiment of the invention is combined with the software SPI method described above, in which any pins of the processing module are used to transfer data to the SPI bus.

- one or more of the LED units of the plurality of LED units are each configured such that the integrated circuit and the one or more LEDs of the respective LED unit are integrated in a common housing.
- particularly compact LED units are used in the lighting device according to the invention, whereby their size can be reduced.
- LED units of the type APA10x and / or of the types WS281x, SK691x, PL982x and derivatives of these types are used. These types of LED units are known per se from the prior art and allow their stringing together with a very high packing density.
- one or more of the LED units of the plurality of LED units are each configured to supply power to the LED or LEDs of the respective LED unit from the power supply via PWM modulation.
- one or more of the LED units of the plurality of LED units are each configured to supply power to the LED or LEDs of the respective LED unit via the setting of variable current levels.
- the lighting device according to the invention may be provided for different purposes in the vehicle.
- the lighting device may be an interior lighting in the interior of the vehicle. Nevertheless, there is also the possibility that the lighting device is an outdoor lighting on the outside of the motor vehicle.
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle, in particular a car or optionally also a truck, which comprises one or more of the lighting devices according to the invention or preferred variants of these lighting devices.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a lighting device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of an LED unit from FIG. 1.
- a lighting device which comprises a plurality of LED units arranged on a belt as lighting means.
- These LED units are designated in FIG. 1 by the reference numeral 3.
- the individual LEDs of the LED units are designated by reference numerals 301, 302 and 303.
- the LED 301 is a red LED
- the LED 302 is a green LED
- the LED 303 is a blue LED.
- Each LED unit 3 includes an integrated circuit, which is designated by reference numeral 4.
- the LED units 3 are preferably LED units of the type APA10x or of the type WS281x, SK691x, PL982x, which have a very compact design.
- the LEDs and the integrated circuit are housed in a common housing. With the ribbon-shaped LED units, a very high packing density can be achieved (depending on the housing form from 144 to 367 LEDs / m).
- the individual LED units 3 are controlled via a digital data stream in the form of a bit stream which is supplied to the individual LED units by means of an internal data bus 2 (ie a data bus provided internally in the lighting device).
- the internal data bus in the embodiment described here is an SPI bus with a line CL for the clock and a line DL for the bit stream.
- two power lines L1 and L2 are provided, which are connected to a DC voltage Supply 5 are connected. Based on the bit stream received via the data line DL, a PWM modulation of the current supplied to the individual LEDs 301 to 303 takes place, in order thereby to drive the LEDs in accordance with the bit stream on the data line DL.
- FIG. 2 shows an input CKI and an output CKO for the clock signal of the clock line CL. Further, a data input terminal SDI and a data output terminal SDO for the bit stream are provided on the data line DL. The received bit stream of the data line DL and the clock signal of the clock line CL reach the serial data input DI. Subsequently, the bit stream is decoded in the decoder DEC.
- a so-called LED frame is generated in precisely timed sequence for each of the LEDs 301 to 303.
- the frames of all LEDs of an LED unit 3 are transmitted as a packet on the data bus 2 and decoded in the decoder DEC. After decoding, it is checked whether the current packet for the corresponding LED unit is determined, which can be recognized by a code in the frame. If so, the decoded bitstream is applied to respective shift registers SR1 to SR3, with the shift register SR1 associated with the red LED 301, the shift register SR2 with the green LED 302, and the shift register SR3 associated with the blue LED 303. On the individual shift registers thus the corresponding signal for driving the respective LED is given.
- the signal is a sequence of
- High / low signals which is converted in the LED unit 3 in a PWM signal for supplying power to the individual LEDs 301 to 303.
- the three PWM generators G1, G2 and G3 are provided, analogous to the shift registers, the generator G1 for the red LED 301, the generator G2 for the green LED 302 and the generator G3 for the blue LED 303 is provided.
- the individual PWM generators are connected to an oscillator OS, which receives an oscillator signal at the oscillator input OSCI.
- the entrance and the exit are coupled to the line L1.
- a voltage of 5 V is supplied thereto.
- the grounding of the LEDs via the terminal VSS which is coupled to the line L2.
- the SPI data bus known per se which is designated by reference numeral 2 in FIG. 1, is used to provide the bit stream for the individual LEDs. It is now essential to the invention that the bitstream is generated on the line DL by means of a processing module 1, which is coupled to a motor vehicle data bus 6, which in the embodiment described here is a LIN bus.
- the processing module 1 comprises a LIN transceiver 101. the corresponding digital signals for controlling the LED units 3 from the LIN bus 6 picks up, as well as a microprocessor 102, which converts the tapped signals into corresponding data signals on the data line DL.
- the signals transmitted on the LIN bus 6 in this case comprise signals which are intended for the lighting device and define a light pattern to be set for the lighting device.
- These signals in turn come from a control unit of the motor vehicle, which determines the light pattern to be generated based on an input of the driver, for example, and outputs it as a corresponding signal to the LIN bus.
- a control unit of the motor vehicle determines the light pattern to be generated based on an input of the driver, for example, and outputs it as a corresponding signal to the LIN bus.
- About the processing module 1 is detected whether the light pattern is provided according to the current signal on the LIN bus 6 for the lighting device. If this is the case, this signal is converted by means of the microprocessor 102 into a corresponding signal for the SPI data bus 2.
- the microprocessor 102 generates the signals for the SPI bus 2 by means of software SPI.
- Software SPI is known per se from the prior art and represents a program library with which any free pins of the microprocessor can be used for signal output to the SPI bus 2. Alternatively, however, hardware SPI can also be used. Special SPI pins are provided for signal output to the SPI bus 2.
- the use of software SPI has the advantage that in the internal data bus 2 a plurality of lines DL and CL can be provided for driving a larger number of LED units 3.
- the variant of the invention described above has a number of advantages.
- a signal on a LIN bus in an SPI signal can be achieved driving a very large number of LED units.
- any pins in a corresponding processing module can be used to generate signals for the SPI bus.
- only a single processing module can be used to control all LED units provided in a specific area of the motor vehicle (eg door or seat).
- the existing LIN architecture can be retained in a motor vehicle.
- known per se LED units can be used. It is only necessary to implement a suitable conversion of the LIN signals on the LIN bus into signals of an SPI bus.
