An illuminated vehicle sign comprises a receptacle having an internal cavity with a light reflective internal surface. A cover over an end of the receptacle comprises one or more orifices opening into the internal cavity from an outside of the receptacle. The orifices are dimensioned and/or relatively arranged in accordance with one or more markings or alphanumeric characters. The orifices provide for ingress of air into the internal cavity from the outside of the receptacle and for emission of light from the internal cavity. A vent in the receptacle is positioned relative to the orifices to provide for egress of the air from the internal cavity. A light source is disposed within the receptacle to emit the light through the internal cavity and out of the orifices. An apertured screen is disposed inside of the internal cavity that is spaced apart from the cover.

A head section for a rear view device such as an internal or external mirror, for a motor vehicle that includes at least one housing section having a lid section arranged on a side of the housing section which faces away from the direction of driving of the motor vehicle, at least one electronic unit arranged in a hollow area formed between the housing section and the lid section, and at least one rear view means arranged on the lid section for displaying a side or rear area of the motor vehicle in relation to the direction of driving.

A head section for a rear view device for a motor vehicle includes a casing means including at least one housing section and a lid section arranged on a side of the housing section which faces away from a driving direction of the motor vehicle, at least one electronic unit arranged in a hollow area formed between the housing section and the lid section, a first rear view means for displaying an area of the motor vehicle, and a second rear view means for displaying a second are of the motor vehicle, where the second rear view means is arranged on the lid section, with the lid section and the second rear view means includes a combined, single-piece component, and where the lid section includes a polymeric substrate, which is coated with a chromium-based reflective coating.

A notification device for communication in a vehicle is provided. The notification device includes a display, a housing that houses the display, a transparent outer lens that covers a front-end opening of the housing and faces the display, and a display cooling device that cools the display with cooling air, in which the display cooling device includes a cooling air passage in which the cooling air flows from the rear of the housing toward a lower portion of the housing through a front surface side of the display and is discharged from the lower portion between the housing and the outer lens.

A motor vehicle lighting device has a housing and a cover plate covering a light exit hole in the housing, at least one ventilation intake opening and at least one air discharge opening, wherein an air guidance structure is disposed on the outside of the ventilation intake opening. The air guidance structure acts to deflect air that flows along the outside of the lighting device as a result of the effect of wind caused by driving, into an interior of the lighting device.
