Abstract
The invention relates to an illumination device for a motor vehicle, for the visible display of at least one ornament. The illumination device includes a plurality of light units with light sources for generating light and with at least one light exit region. At least one light-transparent cover element closes the at least one light exit region. The light-transparent cover element, with respect to an optical axis (A) of the illumination device, is arranged outside a radar encoupling surface of at least one radar-transparent portion for encoupling radar beams; and the at least one radar-transparent portion with the radar encoupling surface is provided for encoupling the radar radiation.
Claims10
An illumination device for a motor vehicle, for the visible display of at least one ornament, the illumination device comprising:
- a plurality of light units with light sources for generating light and with at least one light exit region wherein at least one light-transparent cover element closes the at least one light exit region wherein the light-transparent cover element, with respect to an optical axis (A) of the illumination device is arranged outside a radar encoupling surface of at least one radar-transparent section for encoupling radar beams;
- and
- the at least one radar-transparent section with the radar encoupling surface for encoupling the radar radiation, with at least one light encoupling surface for encoupling the light emitted by the light units and with a decoupling surface for decoupling the encoupled radar radiation and for emitting a light distribution which represents the at least one ornament, depending upon the light coupled into the radar-transparent portion via the light encoupling surfaces.
