Method for producing a lit component for a vehicle

An illuminated component of a vehicle, the illuminated component comprising:

• a multi-layered structure with integrated electronic components,
• wherein one layer of the multi-layered structure has a metal,
• wherein on a side facing away from a visible side of the one layer having metal, the one layer having metal includes light-emitting diodes as part of the electronic components,
• wherein the one layer having the metal is partially covered with a colored layer on a surface of the one layer having metal facing the visible side of the one layer,
• wherein portions of the one layer having the metal not covered by the colored layer have a three-dimensional shape,
• wherein a region of the portions of the one layer having metal not covered by the colored layer include light de-coupling structures arranged on the side of the one layer having the metal which facing away from the visible side of the one layer, and
• wherein the one layer having the metal is a chromium film.

A method for producing an illuminated component of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• providing a first layer having metal as a film, wherein the first layer has a visible side facing a visible side of the illuminated component and a rear side opposite the visible side of the illuminated component;
• forming a colored layer on portions of the visible side of the first layer;
• mounting electronic components on the rear side of the first layer;
• three-dimensionally shaping portions of the first layer not covered by the colored layer by deep drawing or thermoforming;
• applying a supporting layer to the rear side of the first layer;
• and
• forming a transparent plastic covering layer on the visible side of the first layer.
