A dial plate is provided with a mark layer having translucency, the mark layer including numbers of linear grooves formed on a surface of the mark layer, and a reflective layer that is arranged on a back face side of the mark layer, and reflects light incident from the mark layer side. The reflective layer includes a light transmission area that allows the light emitted from a light source arranged on the back face side to transmit therethrough to a front face side, and displays a display design by the light transmitting through the light transmission area when the light source is turned on. In the reflective layer, at least the light transmission area is composed of pearl ink.

The invention relates to a vehicle trim assembly (2), comprising: a storage compartment (6) defining a storage space (8) emerging through an opening (26); a shutter (10) moving relative to the storage compartment between a closing position, in which it closes off the opening, and an open position, in which it is freed from the opening.

The shutter (10) comprises at least one transmission zone (50) able to be steered between a viewing configuration, in which the transmission zone allows the visible light to pass through the shutter and makes it possible to distinguish the contents of the storage space through the shutter, and a concealing position, in which the transmission zone does not make it possible to distinguish the contents of the storage space through the shutter.

A cup holder assembly includes a lens and a cup holder liner. The lens is configured to receive light from a light source and direct the light towards a perimeter edge of the lens. The cup holder liner is composed of a light transmissive material and is disposed above the lens. The cup holder liner includes a peripheral wall that has an interior surface defining a receptacle. The lens extends beyond an exterior surface of the peripheral wall to define a perimeter edge segment of the lens that protrudes from the exterior surface of the peripheral wall to the perimeter edge of the lens. The lens is configured to emit light from the perimeter edge segment into the peripheral wall through the exterior surface thereof to illuminate the interior surface of the peripheral wall of the cup holder liner.

An integrated coat hook and light source assembly includes a housing, a base pivotally carried on the housing, a coat hook carried on the base and a light source carried on the base.
