Abstract
An illuminable vehicle component includes a visible side and a component surface that is arranged on the visible side and provided with a three-dimensional structure pattern. At least one first light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates first structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on second structure portions. At least one second light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates the second structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on the first structure portions.
Claims12
An illuminable vehicle component, comprising:
- a visible side and a component surface arranged on the visible side, wherein the component surface is provided with a three-dimensional structural pattern,
- a first light generating device, which is arranged in a defined position with respect to the component surface such that light emitted by the first light generating device illuminates first structural sections and generates shadowing on second structural sections, and
- a second light generating device, which is arranged in a defined position with respect to the component surface such that light emitted by the second light generating device illuminates the second structural sections and generates shadowing on the first structural sections, wherein:
- two or more first light generating devices are provided, which are respectively configured to illuminate different first structural sections, and
- light cones of the two or more first light generating devices partially overlap one another.
