Cover element having a display area designed to extend in front of a display element, associated display assembly, method for manufacturing and trim element

Method for manufacturing a cover element having a display area designed to extend in front of a display element configured to generate a displayed content, the display area forming at least a part of an external surface of the cover element, the display area being configured to present the visual appearance of a predefined material and the display area having the texture of the predefined material, the method comprising the following steps:

• realizing a support comprising at least a part being translucent, said translucent part of the support having an external face and an internal face opposed to the external face, at least a portion of the external face of the translucent part of the support forming the display area, said portion of the external face of the translucent part of the support having the texture of the predefined material, the support comprising a material distinct from said predefined material,
• the step of realizing the support comprising a sub-step of etching at least a part of a substrate layer of the translucent part of the support and/or a sub-step of coating at least a coating layer on a substrate layer of the translucent part of the support to form said portion of the external face of the translucent part of the support having the texture of the predefined material,
• providing a decorative layer having at least a portion having the visual appearance of the predefined material, and
• assembling the provided decorative layer to the internal face of the translucent part of the realized support, said portion of the decorative layer having the visual appearance of the predefined material extending at least in front of the display area.
