Illuminated interior trim for vehicles

Abstract

Illuminated inner trim (1) for vehicles comprising a substrate (2), a decorative lining (3), and integrated between these a set of LEDs (4) that can provide a decorative illumination such that when on they are visible through the decorative lining as well-defined points of light, while when off they are unseen. Specifically, when said LEDs are on and the vehicle occupants change their angle of vision with respect to the LEDs, a set of points of light will be seen with variable intensity due to the contrast between areas of direct light and areas of shade, causing a sparkling effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an illuminated interior for a vehicle comprising a base material, a trim lining and a set of LEDs integrated between these components to provide decorative lighting such that when they are switched on, the trim Linings are visible as well-defined dots of light and are invisible when they are off. [0002] Additionally, as the vehicle occupant changes their viewing angle relative to the light spots, they will see a set of light spots of varying intensity due to the contrast between the direct light areas and the shadowed areas, creating a flickering effect. Background technique [0003] It is known for the interior trim of a vehicle to integrate a lighting device comprising a set of LED point sources such that the LEDs are hidden between trim layers. [0004] The light emitted by the LEDs is transmitted into the vehicle interior through openings formed in the trim liner or, in the case of a translucent trim liner, throu...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In this case, however, the fact that the light has to pass through the decorative lining creates a diffusion effect that creates unwanted halos, loss of sharpness of the light spot, loss of intensity, and is therefore detrimental to the quality of the decorative lighting obtained. Harmful
