A lighting device may include: a plurality of light sources; and a plurality of waveguides; wherein the waveguides each have a light coupling-in surface and a light coupling-out surface; wherein the light coupling-in surfaces are respectively assigned a light-emitting surface of a light source, such that light emitted by the light-emitting surface of the light source impinges on the light coupling-in surface of the waveguide assigned thereto; wherein the light coupling-out surfaces of the waveguides are arranged in a matrix-like manner; wherein the light coupling-in surface of the respective waveguide is smaller than the light-emitting surface of the light source assigned to said waveguide, and a grating-like optical diaphragm having grating cells is provided, which is arranged in the region of the light coupling-in surfaces of the waveguides, such that light coupling-in surfaces belonging to different waveguides are arranged in different grating cells of the grating-like optical diaphragm.
