The present invention relates to an illuminated or illuminable trim part of or for a vehicle. The trim part includes a light source for providing light, a transparent or translucent carrier layer, and a foil. At least one opaque component is applied to the carrier layer or is integrated into the carrier layer, and/or at least one painted layer is applied to the carrier layer. The foil comprises printed areas and/or has at least one cut-out through which light provided by the light source can penetrate. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing such a trim part.

An automotive lighting unit is disclosed that comprises a rear casing fixable to a vehicle, a front bezel forming a rigid container with the rear casing, and a light-guide plate made of photoconductive material inserted in a pass-through manner in a slit in the front bezel. The automotive lighting unit further comprises a lighting assembly which emits light on command and is arranged inside the rigid container facing a rear sidewall of the light-guide plate so as to direct the light produced within the light-guide plate, through the rear sidewall in such a way that the light travels within the light-guide plate by total internal reflection up to the front sidewall of the light-guide plate, and a diffusing filter which is interposed between the lighting assembly and the light-guide plate so as to be crossed by the light emitted by the lighting assembly.

The lighting device disclosed in the embodiment of the invention includes a substrate; a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the substrate and emitting light in at least a first direction; a resin layer sealing the plurality of light emitting devices; and an optical member disposed on the resin layer, wherein the resin layer may include a first light blocking portion integrally formed with the resin layer and having a transmittance lower than that of the resin layer on an emission-side region of each of the plurality of light emitting devices.

A vehicle lamp that reflects or obstructs light using a film filled with metal flakes, thereby emitting light in a preset pattern includes a light source that emits light, a main film disposed in a light emission path of the light source, and a magnetic field generating unit that generates a magnetic field that influences the main film. The main film includes a functional layer that selectively transmits the light depending on the magnetic field.

Provided is a lighting device for a vehicle including a light source configured to emit light, a shield layer configured to be positioned in front of the light source, and have a shield portion that shields light emitted from the light source and a first pattern portion through which the light emitted from the light source is transmitted, and a pattern layer configured to be positioned in front of the shield layer, include a light-transmissive material, and have a second pattern portion.

A light transmissive panel for a vehicle includes base and a decorative layer. The base is disposed at a side of the light transmissive panel at which a design surface is provided. The base is transmissive to visible light. The decorative layer is stacked on a surface of the base body on a side opposite to the design surface. The light transmissive panel includes multiple apertures formed through the decorative layer in a thickness direction. Each aperture has a bottom surface formed by the base. The bottom surface has irregularities. The apertures are filled with filling portions, which are transmissive to visible light. The base and the filling portions are each formed of a plastic material with which the difference in refractive index between the base and the filling portions is less than the difference in refractive index between the base and air.
