1. An illumination device for a motor vehicle, the illumination device comprising:
a printed circuit board;
a plurality of light emitting diodes arranged on the printed circuit board;
an optical pane;
a reflector element arranged between the printed circuit board and the optical pane, the reflector element having a plurality of segments into which the reflector element is divided,
wherein each light emitting diode is assigned a respective one of the segments so that light emitted from the light emitting diodes is reflected by reflective walls of the segments of the reflector element and passes through the optical pane, and
wherein the light emitting diodes are radial-beam light emitting diodes and the reflective walls of the segments are each obliquely angled with respect to the printed circuit board.
