This object is achieved by a cabin arrangement having the features of claim 1 and by a method for illuminating the cabin arrangement having the features of claim 9.The invention relates to a cabin arrangement for an aircraft interior of an aircraft, in particular for a passenger compartment of a passenger aircraft. The cabin arrangement has at least one cabin section for equipping the aircraft interior. The cabin arrangement preferably has a plurality of cabin sections, wherein these are arranged adjacent and / or adjacent to one another. The cabin section is designed, for example, as a wall section, in particular a side wall section, or as a ceiling section for cladding the aircraft interior. The side wall section or the ceiling section have at least one side wall cladding or ceiling cladding or are formed from at least one of these, preferably from a plurality of these. Alternatively or optionally additionally, the cabin section is designed as a partition wall and / or setting wall for dividing the aircraft interior or as a monument in the aircraft interior. The monument is designed, for example, as a kitchen module, a so-called galley, as a toilet module, a so-called lavatory, or as a rest region, a so-called crew rest compartment. It is furthermore conceivable for the cabin section to have one or more passenger seats or luggage compartments or to be formed by these. The cabin arrangement preferably has the plurality of cabin sections, wherein these are configured differently, for example as the aforementioned cabin sections, such that the cabin arrangement has any desired combination of the cabin sections.The cabin section has at least one cladding region for lining the aircraft interior. The cladding region is preferably designed as a large-area region for lining the aircraft interior, for example for covering an aircraft fuselage of the aircraft. The cladding region is preferably formed facing the aircraft interior. The cladding region is arranged, for example, on the one or more side wall claddings and / or ceiling claddings and / or partition walls and / or monuments or is formed by a surface thereof. The cabin section preferably has a plurality of cladding regions. The cladding regions are preferably formed adjacent to one another and / or continuously.Furthermore, the cabin arrangement has a lighting device for lighting the aircraft interior. The lighting device is preferably designed as a surface light and / or an accent lighting in the aircraft interior, wherein these are designed for extensive illumination and / or for emphasis of objects in the aircraft cabin by light. The lighting device is arranged within the cladding region of the cabin section. The lighting device lines the cladding region, so that the lighting device is arranged facing the aircraft interior. The lighting device has a visible surface which covers the cladding region. The lighting device is preferably arranged supportingly within the cladding region on the cabin section and / or fastened thereto. For example, the cladding region or the cabin section is designed as a substructure, for example as a honeycomb core plate, of the cabin arrangement, wherein the lighting device is connected to the latter in a supporting manner.The illumination device has a layer structure with a plurality of layers. The layered structure of the lighting device preferably has a total layered thickness of a few millimeters to a few centimeters, preferably of at least 2 mm to 5 cm, in particular of at least 3 mm to 3 cm. The layer structure of the illumination device is preferably flexible and / or elastically deformable. For example, the lighting device can be adapted by the flexible layer structure to contours in the cladding region, e.g. to a rounding and / or curvature of the side wall cladding.The lighting device has a lighting means layer with a plurality of lighting means regions for generating light. The illuminant layer is preferably formed as a film, in particular as an LED film. The illuminant layer is preferably manufactured from a plastic material, e.g. a plastic film, wherein the illuminant film preferably has conductor tracks for electrical contacting. The illuminant layer is preferably flexible or made of a flexible material. The lighting means regions are preferably arranged distributed over the entire extent on the lighting means layer. In particular, the lighting means regions are formed on one side of the lighting means layer. The light is emitted within the illuminant regions, such that a plurality of luminous regions are created on the illumination layer. The lighting means regions are preferably distributed uniformly over the surface of the lighting means layer, either at a distance or closely adjacent in a grid and / or a matrix. Alternatively or optionally additionally, the lighting means regions are formed combined into a plurality of lighting means groups. The light-emitting means groups are preferably suitable for emitting a common light. For example, a lighting means group lights up with a common brightness and / or a light color. The light-emitting means groups are preferably arranged overlapping and / or overlying on the light-emitting means layer.Furthermore, the illumination device has a light-opaque cover layer with a plurality of light-transmissive passage regions. The illuminant layer and the cover layer form the common layer structure of the illumination device from at least two layers. The cover layer is preferably made of a plastic material, e.g. of polyvinyl fluoride (PVF). The covering layer is preferably formed as a plastic film, in particular as a PVF film, or also called Tedlar film. Alternatively or optionally additionally, the covering layer is formed in multiple layers and / or has a reinforcing layer and / or reinforcing fibers, e.g. glass or carbon fibers. The cover layer is preferably formed as a black opaque film. The cover layer shields in particular the light of the illuminant layer from the aircraft interior. For this purpose, the illuminant layer and the cover layer are arranged in such a way that the cover layer is arranged on the side of the illumination device facing the aircraft interior.The passage regions of the cover layer are formed to be transparent to light, so that the light of the lighting means layer penetrates through the passage regions into the aircraft interior for illumination. For this purpose, the two layers of the layer structure are preferably arranged in such a way that the passage regions overlap the lighting means regions at least partially in a intersecting manner. The passage regions are preferably designed as a template and / or light diaphragm, wherein these have a specific contour. The through regions preferably have one or more specific outlines which are preferably arranged in a repeating pattern on the cover sheet. For example, the contours of the passage regions are formed as points and / or slots which are formed uniformly with respect to one another and are arranged distributed over the surface of the covering layer. Optionally, the passage areas are assigned to one of the light fixture groups in each case with the same contours.According to the invention, it is provided that the illumination device generates at least one illumination pattern for representation in the aircraft interior. The illumination pattern is preferably designed as a luminous surface pattern of the illumination device. The illumination pattern can preferably be displayed in a plurality of cabin sections within the cladding regions. For example, at a ceiling portion and a side wall portion of the cabin arrangement. The illumination pattern is formed at least from a part of the backlit passage regions, wherein the illuminant regions can be selectively activated for backlighting the passage regions, such that different illumination patterns are represented. In principle, the lighting means regions diffuse the light into the interior of the aircraft, so that no clear contours are recognizable. The layered structure of the lighting device with the cover layer with the passage regions creates a shield for the light, which emits the light in the form of the lighting pattern directed into the aircraft interior. The passage regions are in particular formative for the illumination pattern. In particular, the outlines of the through regions form the shape of the illumination pattern shown when backlighting. The different illumination patterns, which can be changed by selective actuation of the lighting means regions, preferably differ by different geometries and / or by a local change on the illumination device. For example, by targeted actuation of a first lighting means region, to which one or more first passage regions are assigned, a first illumination pattern, for example a dot pattern, can be displayed on the surface of the illumination device in the aircraft interior. By selectively activating a second illuminant region, to which one or more second passage regions are assigned, a second illumination pattern, for example a line pattern and / or a writing, can be displayed on the surface of the illumination device in an expanding manner or instead of the first illumination pattern. The different illumination patterns can preferably be electrically switched on and off, so that it is possible to switch between the different illumination patterns and / or these can be switched in the aircraft interior. The illumination pattern on the illumination device in the aircraft interior is only visible when the corresponding illuminant region with the associated shaping passage region is electrically actuated, such that said illumination pattern emits the light which is perceived and / or perceptible as an illumination pattern on the surface of the illumination device in the aircraft interior.It is advantageous that a cabin arrangement with a lighting device is provided, which presents a lighting pattern within one or more cabin sections over a large area, wherein complicated cabling and / or installation of space-occupying objects, such as a projector, can be dispensed with. This creates a space-saving and visually non-noticeable cabin arrangement with a lighting device, which is easy to install. It is further advantageous that the lighting device with at least one illuminant layer and a cover layer forms a particularly flat and flexible layer structure which can be adapted to different cladding regions, such as a side wall cladding, a ceiling cladding and / or a cabin monument. This creates a lighting device that can be used and arranged in a versatile manner. It is also advantageous that different illumination patterns can be displayed in the aircraft interior. For example, the illumination pattern can be changed during night flight to a desired night illumination pattern, for example a star pattern. The illumination pattern can be selected and / or designed individually, for example by the aircraft builder or the airline company, so that a cabin arrangement with an illumination device is created, which is distinguished by a large diversity of designs in the illumination of the aircraft interior. It is furthermore advantageous that different illumination patterns can be simultaneously switched on by the passage regions and the selectively actuatable illumination means regions, so that a combined illumination image of a plurality of illumination patterns can be generated and / or displayed in the aircraft interior by combining the illumination patterns or the respective backlit passage regions.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the passage regions are formed as light-transmissive openings in the covering layer. The openings are preferably introduced through the covering layer. Preferably, the openings are formed by punching, recessing or perforating the covering layer. For example, the cover layer is formed as an opaque film, wherein the openings are embossed and / or engraved into the film in a production method. The openings are preferably shaped as narrow slits or dots. Alternatively or optionally additionally, the openings are designed as a writing. In principle, the openings can be designed as desired in terms of their basic shape and / or contours, wherein the openings are designed at least so large that light appears through the openings. For example, the openings are designed as slots, wherein these preferably have a width of at least 0.1 mm, preferably of at least 0.5 mm, in particular of at least 1 mm. The generated light of the illuminant layer is dimmed by the cover layer within the passage regions in order to generate the illumination pattern in the aircraft interior. In other words, it is provided that the cover layer is preferably designed as a shutter, in particular a light shutter, for dimming light. The cover layer with the through regions generates a clearly defined illumination pattern on a surface of the illumination device, which is deposited from the non-illuminated surrounding surface.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the illuminant layer has a plurality of illuminants for generating light. The lighting means are preferably designed as LEDs (light emitting diodes). The lighting means are preferably designed to emit light in different colors and / or within a color spectrum. For example, the lighting means are designed as RGB LEDs, wherein the light of a plurality of colored LEDs is mixed, as a result of which, for example, color transitions can be generated. The lighting means are formed on one side on the lighting means layer, wherein the lighting means are arranged within the lighting means regions. The lighting means are designed to be electrically controllable, so that selectively controllable lighting means regions are formed. Preferably, a plurality of lighting means form a lighting means region.Optionally in addition, the lighting means layer is formed as a flexible printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board is preferably designed as strip goods. For example, the lighting means are arranged on a printed circuit board reel in a repeating arrangement pattern, wherein a plurality of strips of the printed circuit board reel form the flexible printed circuit board. Alternatively, a plurality of strips of the printed circuit board reel are arranged on a foil carrier, wherein the strips of the printed circuit board reel form the lighting means regions. The printed circuit board has a plurality of conductor tracks for contacting the lighting means, so that these can be controlled individually. The printed circuit board is equipped with the lighting means, in particular micro-LEDs or so-called SMD-LEDs, so that these form a thin lighting means layer. The illuminant layer preferably has a total thickness of less than 10 millimeters, preferably of less than 5 millimeters, in particular of less than 3 millimeters. The lighting means are preferably already arranged in such a way that the passage regions of the covering layer lying above it in the layer structure follow the arrangement pattern of the lighting means. However, it is preferably sufficient if the lighting means are arranged on an edge section of the passage regions, so that the light is introduced and / or can be introduced into the passage regions on the edge side.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the illumination device has a compensating layer, wherein the compensating layer is arranged between the illuminant layer and the covering layer for leveling the layer structure of the illumination device. The compensating layer is preferably made of a plastic material, e.g. polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The compensating layer is preferably formed as a foam layer, preferably as a PVDF foam. The compensating layer is preferably formed to be transparent to light. The compensating layer preferably has a material thickness of at least 1 mm, preferably of at least 2 mm, in particular of at least 3 mm.The compensating layer is designed to compensate differences in height of the illuminant layer and / or the illuminants. Preferably, this creates a uniform overall layer thickness of the lighting device. "Leveling" preferably means compensating for unevennesses in the illuminant layer, which lead to locally different material thicknesses of the illuminant layer. For example, the illuminant layer has a greater material thickness in the regions in which the illuminants are arranged. The compensating layer preferably has bulges on the side of the illuminant layer, wherein the bulges are arranged on the compensating layer within the regions with the unevennesses, e.g. the illuminants. The protrusions are, for example, milled-in grooves or grooves, which correspond, for example, to the arrangement pattern of the lighting means. The compensating layer is preferably designed as a dimensionally stable foam. Alternatively, the compensating layer is designed to be elastically deformable. For example, the compensating layer is deformed on one side of the illuminant layer in the regions with the illuminants, wherein the compensating layer is formed planar on the side of the covering layer. It is advantageous that a millimeter of thin distance between the illuminant layer and the cover layer is formed by the compensating layer for compensating for unevennesses, so that an illumination device having a smooth and uniform surface is created. In addition, the compensating layer forms exactly required installation space for sinking the lighting means, so that the lighting device can be arranged in the aircraft interior in an invisible and installation space-saving manner.In a preferred further development of the invention, it is provided that the illumination device has the compensating layer for leveling, wherein the compensating layer is formed translucent, so that the light of the illuminant layer is diffusely scattered when transmitted through the compensating view. By "translucent" is meant a partial light transmission of the compensation layer, so that the light appears at least partially through the compensation layer. The compensating layer is preferably designed as a diffuser layer for scattering the light, so that the light is preferably scattered when it exits from the passage regions into the aircraft interior. A diffuser layer is preferably understood to mean an optical diffuser which breaks parallel-running light and / or light beams within its volume by imperfections, as a result of which the light is scattered and / or is scattering in different directions. These imperfections are preferably formed by a foam structure of the compensation layer. For example, the compensating layer is formed as a translucent foam layer, preferably as a translucent PVDF foam layer. The compensating layer is translucent, for example as in the case of milk glass, so that the light only partially shines through the compensating layer. It is advantageous that the light is refracted by the compensating layer and uniformly scattered into the aircraft interior. As a result, the illumination pattern appears with a uniform brightness for a passenger in the aircraft interior, whereby a uniform appearance of the illumination pattern is created.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the lighting device has a decorative layer that is transparent at least in sections, wherein the decorative layer is connected to the covering layer. The decorative layer covers the covering layer over the full surface with the light-transmissive passage regions, wherein the decorative layer is configured facing the aircraft interior for the purpose of displaying the illumination pattern. The decorative layer preferably has an optical and / or haptic pattern. For example, the decorative layer is printed with a small pattern, wherein the design of the small pattern can be individually adapted to an aircraft builder and / or an airline or selected by them. Optionally, the decorative layer has a logo and / or layer tension as a pattern. The decorative layer preferably forms the visible side of the lighting device, which faces the aircraft interior in an installation state of the cabin arrangement. The decorative layer of the lighting device preferably has a pattern, color and / or design which corresponds and / or is the same as the surrounding cabin section, so that the lighting device preferably fuses to the cabin section and / or inserts itself into the appearance of the cabin section. The decorative layer is preferably designed as a decorative film. Alternatively, the decorative layer is designed as a coating and / or varnish. The decorative layer is preferably scratch-resistant and resistant to cleaning agents. The decorative layer covers the cover layer, preferably the black Tedlar film, so that the latter is concealed and protected from external influence. This creates a cabin arrangement which has a usual surface for an aircraft interior, but can be illuminated by the light-emitting layer lying underneath. The illumination pattern can be displayed on the decorative layer. In an unexposed state of the cabin arrangement, only the decorative layer, in particular the pattern of the decorative layer, is visible in the aircraft interior. For example, the cladding region is designed as the side wall cladding, wherein the lighting device is placed over it in a sheathing manner. In the non-illuminated state of the cabin arrangement, only the side wall cladding is perceived as such, wherein in an illuminated state of the cabin arrangement the illumination pattern is displayed and / or can be displayed on the decorative layer of the illumination device, such that an illuminated side wall cladding is created. In principle, different cladding regions can thus be connected to the illumination device and illuminated with the illumination pattern. It is advantageous that a pattern or surface pattern and / or print pattern can be displayed by the decorative layer, which is visible when the illumination of the illuminant layer is switched off, so that the illumination device fits in an imperceptible manner into the overall image of the aircraft interior, e.g. to a pattern lying around it. It is also advantageous that the decorative layer covers the passage regions, so that they cannot be perceived by the passengers, wherein these are shown and / or can be shown as the illumination pattern in the illuminated state of the cabin arrangement. By controlling specific lighting means regions, only the desired illumination pattern thus appears in the desired cladding region, for example a cloud pattern on the day on the side wall cladding and a star pattern on the ceiling cladding at night. This creates a cabin arrangement which enables individual illumination of the aircraft interior. It is further advantageous that the covering layer is protected from damage by the decorative layer, thereby creating a particularly robust lighting device.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the lighting device covers the cladding region over the full surface for formwork, wherein the lighting device has at least one surface of 1.5 m 2. The illumination pattern can preferably be displayed over the entire surface of the illumination device. The illumination device is preferably embodied over a large surface area, wherein the illumination device has in particular an area of at least 5 m 2. The cabin arrangement preferably has a plurality of cabin sections having a plurality of cladding regions, wherein the cabin arrangement has a plurality of lighting devices which are arranged within the cladding regions and are connected to the respective cabin section. Depending on the size of the cabin arrangement, for example a cabin arrangement for a passenger aircraft, the total area to be illuminated can be several tens to a few hundreds of square meters. The cabin arrangement is preferably lined with the lighting device over a large area, so that the cladding regions lined with the lighting device are covered preferably 50%, in particular 80% of the total surfaces of the cabin arrangement, in particular of the visible surfaces. For example, 50%, in particular 80%, of the side wall claddings and / or of the ceiling claddings are covered and / or lined with the lighting device for the purpose of displaying the lighting pattern.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the lighting device is connected to a cabin section via a hook and loop connection or via a releasable adhesive connection. The illumination device is preferably connected to the cabin section in a tool-free and / or non-destructive manner.The hook and loop fastener connection preferably has two layers which can be connected to one another in a planar manner. One layer has barbs and the other layer has loops, so-called hooks and loops, wherein these can be hooked into one another and can be released and / or released again in a non-destructive manner. The layer with the barbs is preferably designed as a strip or mat, wherein said layer is arranged on an inner side of the lighting device. Preferably, the layer with the barbs is arranged over the full surface on the inner side of the illumination device. The other layer with the loops is preferably designed as a tape or as a textile fleece, wherein this is arranged within the cladding region on the cabin section. For example, the other layer with the loops is arranged in such a way that it covers the covering region over the full surface. It is conceivable for the two layers to be arranged in a interchanged manner on the lighting device and the cabin section and / or to be partially formed only on the inner side of the lighting device or within the cladding region.Alternatively, the lighting device is connected to the cabin section via the releasable adhesive connection, wherein the adhesive connection is preferably formed as an adhesive film adhering to both sides. The adhesive connection can preferably be detached from the cabin section without leaving any residue, so that the lighting device can be detached and / or detached in a non-destructive manner, in particular without damaging the cabin section. The adhesive connection is preferably formed over the full surface between the lighting device, in particular its inner side, and the cabin section, in particular within the cladding region. Alternatively, the adhesive connection is applied as a soluble liquid adhesive to the lighting device and / or the cabin section. The adhesive compound preferably comprises a flame-resistant adhesive, for example a solvent-free adhesive, for adhesive bonding. It is advantageous that the releasable connection as a hook and loop fastener connection enables a particularly simple and quick installation of the lighting device. If the releasable connection is designed as an adhesive connection, it is advantageous that it can be produced particularly cost-effectively and can be applied to complex three-dimensional contours of the cladding region.A further subject matter of the invention relates to a method for illuminating a cabin arrangement in an aircraft interior, having an illumination device for generating an illumination pattern, wherein the illumination device is designed as described above. The illumination device has a layer structure. For this purpose, at least one illuminant layer having a plurality of illuminant regions is connected to a covering layer having a plurality of passage regions. Preferably, a compensating layer is arranged between the illuminant layer and the covering layer for leveling differences in height. The illuminant layer generates light, in particular the light is generated by a plurality of illuminants within the illuminant regions.By selective actuation of the lighting means regions of the lighting means layer, different illumination patterns are displayed in the aircraft interior. The lighting means regions are preferably controlled by an electrical control unit of the lighting device. The control unit is configured to actuate the individual lighting means regions, such that the illumination pattern is formed by the actuated lighting means regions. Optionally, a brightness and / or a color of the light is changed by the control unit, wherein the lighting means regions are preferably controlled with different brightness and / or color of the light. For this purpose, the lighting means are preferably designed as RGB LEDs or RGBW LEDs, which emit colored light within a color spectrum by mixing. The illumination pattern is displayed in particular on a surface of the illumination device in the aircraft interior. By selectively driving the respective lighting means regions, the illumination pattern is changed, for example, in the form, brightness and / or color of the light. For example, many illuminant regions with a high brightness and a blue light are activated during the day, wherein a few illuminant regions with a low brightness and a green or orange light are activated at night. It is advantageous that the cabin arrangement has the lighting device which generates the lighting pattern in the aircraft interior as a mood light and / or as an accent light and / or as a surface light, which lighting pattern can be changed depending on the situation or in a customer-related manner. This creates a variety of lighting arrangements for the cabin arrangement, for example the cabin monuments, the side walls or the ceiling.In a preferred embodiment of the method, it is provided that the illumination device has the cover layer with light-transmissive passage regions for shielding the illuminant layer, wherein the light of the illuminant layer is shielded by the cover layer, such that the light exits only from the light-transmissive passage regions, wherein the illumination pattern is generated by the respective backlit passage regions. The cover layer is preferably designed as an opaque film, e.g. black Tedlar film, wherein the light is dimmed by the cover layer with respect to the aircraft interior, preferably at least in regions. The passage areas are preferably cut as openings in the cover layer and / or cut out from the cover layer, wherein only a part of the light of the illuminant areas passes through the passage areas into the aircraft interior. The through portions are designed to have a specific outline. The light exits the pass-through areas according to the contours and is radiated into the aircraft interior. The shape of the outlines of the through regions determines the shape of the illumination pattern. For example, the illumination pattern can be designed individually as desired by the airline or aircraft builder. For example, a plurality of different passage regions comprising, for example, points and slots are incorporated into the covering layer, wherein, depending on the actuation of the associated lighting means regions, the respective illumination pattern is represented as points or slots in the aircraft interior.In a preferred embodiment of the method, it is provided that the lighting device has a decorative layer for enveloping the covering layer in the aircraft interior, wherein the passage regions are covered by the decorative layer, wherein the decorative layer is at least partially transparent, so that the lighting pattern is displayed on the decorative layer in the aircraft interior. The decorative layer is preferably designed as a decorative film, wherein this forms a visible side of the lighting device in the aircraft interior. For this purpose, the decorative layer has, for example, a brush line as the surface finish. The decorative layer is connected to the covering layer, so that the decorative layer forms the surface of the lighting device on which the lighting pattern is displayed. The decorative layer is partially transparent, so that the cover layer with the passage regions is optically shielded from the aircraft interior by the decorative layer, but the light is radiated through the decorative layer as the illumination pattern when the lighting means regions are controlled.The method for illuminating the cabin arrangement, in particular changing the different illumination patterns, can preferably be operated according to the following steps. The cabin arrangement for an aircraft interior with the lighting device preferably generates a first lighting pattern, wherein the first lighting pattern is represented in the aircraft interior. It is provided that the first illumination pattern is formed from a first set of illumination means regions and associated passage regions, wherein the corresponding illumination means regions of the set are actuated so that they emit light in order to generate the first illumination pattern in the aircraft interior, wherein an appearance of the first illumination pattern is determined by the appropriately backlit passage regions. In a further step, it is preferably provided that a second illumination pattern is generated in the aircraft interior by selective actuation of further illumination means regions which form a second set of illumination means regions and associated passage regions. The second illumination pattern is formed by a set of illuminant regions and associated passage regions of the second set, wherein the second set consists of further and / or a subset of illuminant regions and passage regions of the first set. The second illumination pattern is displayed in the aircraft interior in addition or as an alternative to the first illumination pattern.Further features, effects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention and from the attached figures.

Optionally, the control unit controls a color change of the illumination pattern 16 and / or its brightness.FIG. 2 shows the lighting device 4 bas a formwork for the cabin section 2 bconfigured as a side wall section. FIG. 2 shows a detail of this, wherein the cabin section 2 bhas the cladding region 3 b. The lighting device 4 bis shown in an installation state, so that it lies flat against the cladding region 3 b. For example, these are connected to one another via the releasable connection, e.g. via the hook and loop connection or the releasable adhesive connection. The lighting device 4 bis designed for the one or more side wall cladding, which has a plurality of windows or at least window holes. The lighting device 4 bhas window recesses 5, which are formed as a round and / or oval opening. The window recesses 5 are arranged to correspond to the windows in correspondence with the window holes. In FIG. 2, two lighting devices 4 bare formed with a window cutout 5 for a common cladding region 3 b, respectively. Alternatively, an illumination device 4 bmay also cover the entire cladding region 3 b.The illumination device 4 bhas the illumination pattern 16, which is shown by way of example in FIG. 2. For example, the illumination pattern 16 is formed as a repeating small pattern of one dot and a plurality of bars. In principle, the illumination pattern can be configured in any desired manner and comprise simple or complex images, such as a logo or a writing. The illumination pattern 16 in FIG. 2 differs from the illumination pattern 16 from FIG. 1. In principle, any desired illumination pattern 16 can be displayed in the interior of the aircraft, wherein the illumination device 4 a, bis designed to generate and display different illumination patterns 16.The illumination device 4 a, bis designed to illuminate the aircraft interior. For this purpose, the illumination device 4 a, bhas a layer structure. The visible structure of the illumination device 4 a, bgenerates and determines the illumination pattern 16. The illumination device 4 a, bis connected to a carrier 6. For example, these are detachably connected to one another. The carrier 6 is formed, for example, as in FIGS. 1 and 2, by the cabin section 2 a, bof the cabin arrangement 1. For this purpose, the carrier 6 can be designed as a sandwich component with, for example, a honeycomb honeycomb or an organosheet of the cabin arrangement. The lighting device 4 a, bis supported by the support 6 in an installation state. The illumination device 4 a, bis connected to the carrier 6 via a connecting element 7. The connecting element 7 is shown in simplified form as a layer. It is conceivable for the connecting element 7 to partially connect the illumination device 4 a, bto the carrier 6. The connecting element 7 is designed, for example, as the hook and loop fastener connection or the releasable adhesive connection. A part, e.g. the hooks and loops, remains on the lighting device 4 a, band on the carrier 6 in each case as a hook-and-loop fastener connection. The connecting element 7 can alternatively be formed as the releasable adhesive layer, wherein this is formed, for example, over the full surface between the illumination device 4 a, band the carrier 6. The adhesive layer can be formed, for example, as a double-sided adhesive film which can be removed again without residue.The lighting device 4 a, bhas a lighting means layer 8 for lighting the aircraft interior. The illuminant layer 8 has a plurality of illuminant regions 9. The illuminant layer 8 has a plurality of illuminants 17 which are arranged within the illuminant regions 9. For simplification, light-emitting element regions 9 and light-emitting element 17 are indicated in FIG. 3 merely as a thin layer of the light-emitting element layer 8. The lighting means 17 are designed, for example, as LEDs and are arranged in an arrangement pattern on the lighting means layer 8. The illuminant layer 8 is designed for generating light, wherein the illuminants 17 emit the light within the illuminant regions 9 in the direction of the aircraft interior. For this purpose, the illuminant regions 9 are arranged on one side on the illuminant layer 8. The lighting means regions 9 are configured to be selectively actuatable. For example, these can be electrically controlled individually by the control unit. As a result, each lighting means 17 can be controlled individually or combined into arrays, so that these can be switched on and off, for example. Optionally, the respective brightness and / or color rendering of the lighting means 17 can be controlled via the control unit.The illumination device 4 a, bhas a compensation layer 11. The compensating layer 11 is connected to the illuminant layer 8 via an adhesive point connection 10, for example by adhesive points of a dispersant adhesive. The compensating layer 11 is connected to the illuminant layer 8 on the illuminant regions 9. The compensating layer 11 is made of a foam material, for example a PVDF foam. The PVDF foam has, for example, grooves or grooves (not shown) which are formed in the regions of the lighting means 17, so that these can be inserted into the grooves or grooves. As a result, unevenness of the illuminant layer 8 can be compensated for. For this purpose, the foam material is, for example, dimensionally stable. Alternatively, the compensating layer 11 is designed to be elastically deformable, so that elevations of the illuminant layer 8, e.g. by the illuminants 17, are compensated by elastic deformation. The compensating layer 11 is translucent and / or partially transparent, so that the light of the illuminant layer 8 can be diffusely radiated through the compensating layer 11 in the direction of the aircraft interior. The compensating layer 11 is formed, for example, as a diffuser layer which breaks the light within its volume, so that it exits the compensating layer 11 in a scattered manner.The illumination device 4 a, bhas a cover layer 13 which is connected to the compensation layer 11. The covering layer 13 is connected over its entire surface to the compensating layer 11 via a connecting layer 12. The compensation layer 11 levels out the irregularities of the illuminant layer 8, so that the cover layer 13 is formed to be uniformly planar. The connecting layer 12 is formed, for example, as a light-transmissive adhesive layer. The covering layer 13 is formed as an opaque film, e.g., an opaque black Tedlar film. The light of the illuminant layer 8 cannot fundamentally illuminate through the cover layer 13 in the direction of the aircraft interior. In order that the aircraft interior is nevertheless illuminated, the cover layer 13 has a plurality of light-transmissive passage regions 15. The passage regions 15 are indicated in FIG. 3 as openings of the covering layer 13. Alternatively, the through regions 15 are formed as light-transmissive windows, so that a closed cover layer 13 is formed. The light of the illuminant layer 8 penetrates only through the light-transmissive passage regions 15 into the aircraft interior. As a result, the illumination pattern 16 is produced on the visible side of the illumination device 4 a, b. The illumination pattern 16 is visible to a passenger only when the luminous means layer 8 emits the light.The lighting device 4 a, bhas a decorative layer 14, wherein the decorative layer 14 forms the visible side of the lighting device 4 a, b. The decorative layer 14 is connected to the covering layer 13 over its entire surface. The decorative layer 14 is designed, for example, as a decorative film or a coating and / or varnishing. The decorative layer 14 is translucent and / or partially transparent. The decorative layer 14 covers the passage regions 15, so that the passage regions 15 are not visible when the illumination of the illuminant layer 8 is switched off. Alternatively, the decorative layer 14 has a plurality of light-transmissive windows in the regions where it intersects with the passage regions 15. The decorative layer 14 is suitable for forming a visible side for the lighting device 4 a, band for covering the light-impermeable cover layer 13 with the light-transmissive passage regions 15, so that these are protected, for example, from damage, e.g. by scratches. Optionally, the decorative layer 14 has a decorative pattern, e.g. a brush line, which is formed, for example, as a printed and / or illuminatable pattern.In an exemplary manufacturing method, it may be provided that the layers of FIG. 3 are assembled as follows. In a first step, provision is made for the covering layer 13 and the compensating layer 11 to be connected. For example, the connecting layer 12 is formed as a liquid adhesive or as an adhesive film. For example, the cover layer 13 and the compensation layer 11 are formed as the black Tedlar film and as the PVDF foam, respectively. In a further step or together with the joining of the cover layer 13 to the compensation layer 11, it is provided that a plurality of bulges for receiving the illuminant layer 8 and / or illuminant 17 are impressed on the side of the compensation layer 11 facing away from the cover layer 13. For example, material is removed from the compensation layer 11, wherein, for example, grooves or grooves are worked in, e.g., milled. In a further step, it is provided that the openings which form the passage regions 15 are introduced into the covering layer 13. For example, the openings or the passage regions 15 are introduced into the covering layer 13 by engraving and / or milling. As a result, light-transmissive openings are produced in the cover layer 13. In this case, this is adapted to a three-dimensional contour of the carrier 6 or of the cabin section 2 a, b. In the same or a further step, it is provided that the decorative layer 14 is applied for covering to the covering layer 13 with the passage regions 15. For example, it is designed as a decorative film and is adhesively bonded in a planar manner to the covering layer 13. In a final step, it is provided that the illuminant layer 8 with the plurality of illuminant regions 9 is connected to the compensating layer 11, wherein the illuminant layer 8 is arranged in such a way that the illuminants 17 are accommodated in the bulges of the compensating layer 11 for compensating differences in height. The illuminant layer 8 is formed, for example, as a film with micro-LEDs as illuminants 17, wherein the illuminant layer 8 is connected to the compensating layer 11 formed as PVDF foam.FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the cover layer 13 made of the layer structure of the illumination device 4 a, bfrom FIG. 3. FIG. 4 shows a section of the covering layer 13 with a plurality of passage regions 15. The passage regions 15 are introduced into the covering layer 13 as openings, for example by cutting or engraving the covering layer 13. By contrast, the cover layer 13 is designed to be opaque, so that no light penetrates through the remaining surface of the cover layer 13 when exposed to light. Consequently, the cover layer 13 shields the light, so that it is limited to the passage regions 15 for transmission. The through regions 15 have different sizes and contours. A part of the passage areas 15 are formed as slits and / or thin beams, the other part of the passage areas 15 are formed as dots and / or circular openings. The differently shaped through regions 15 are arranged on the covering layer 13 in such a way that they produce a repeating pattern. The pattern of the through regions 15 is arranged as a grid and / or a matrix, so that the pattern repeats in a first direction and in a second direction, which is formed perpendicular to the first direction. For example, the pattern of the passage regions 15 is arranged such that they spread vertically and horizontally on the side wall section and / or are arranged in a repeating manner.The cover layer 13, according to the layer structure from FIG. 3, is connected on one side to the compensation layer 11 and the illuminant layer 8 lying behind it, wherein the cover layer 13 is connected on the other side to the decorative layer 14. Consequently, the cover layer 13 lies between the illuminant layer 8, which emit the light, and the decorative layer 14, which forms the visible side in the aircraft interior. The through regions 15 form the illumination pattern 16 when backlighted by the illuminant layer 8. The illuminant regions 9 of the illuminant layer 8 can be selectively actuated, such that, for example, only a part of the illuminant regions 9 emit light. The passage areas 15 lying above cover the light. As a result, the light is dimmed and is limited to the size and the contours of the passage region 15, so that the illumination pattern 16 is generated and / or can be generated on the opposite side with the decorative layer 14. Depending on which illuminant regions 9 are controlled, the passage regions 15 illuminate and generate the individual illumination pattern 16. The other part of this is, for example, unexposed and therefore remains concealed by the decorative layer 14. The first set 18 of illuminant regions 9 and passage regions 15 generates a first illumination pattern 20 a. According to FIG. 4, the first illumination pattern 20a has a plurality of lines and / or slits and a point, wherein the lines are arranged in a star shape and / or point symmetry about the point. The first illumination pattern 20 a("star pattern") can be generated, for example, on the entire surface of the illumination device 4 a, b. The illumination device 4 a, bis configured to generate a second illumination pattern 20 b. The second illumination pattern 20 bis formed by a second set 19 of illuminant regions 9 and passage regions 15. As already the first set 18, the second set 19 consists of a subset thereof, wherein the first and the second set 18, 19 have an intersection of illumination and passage regions 9, 15. The second illumination pattern 20 bcan be generated, for example, by switching specific illuminant regions 9 of the first and second sets 18, 19 on and off. The second illumination pattern 20 bis formed as a "box pattern" of four vertices, a center point, four edge lines, and four diagonal lines, as shown in FIG. 4. The illumination device 4 a, bis designed to change between the first and second illumination patterns 20 a, bby selective actuation of the illuminant regions 9.FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the illuminant layer 8 of the illumination device 4 a, b. FIG. 5 shows a detail of the lighting means layer 8, which is formed as a thin printed circuit board 21. The printed circuit board 21 is produced, for example, from a plastic material, e.g., a plastic film, and has a plurality of conductor tracks (not shown) for electrical contacting. The printed circuit board 21 is formed from a plurality of printed circuit board strips 22, which can be separated from a printed circuit board reel, for example, and can be assembled to form the printed circuit board 21. The printed circuit board strips 22 have a plurality of lighting means sections 23, which are arranged one after the other on the printed circuit board strips 22. For example, the printed circuit board strip 22 can be separated at the lighting means regions 23. According to FIG. 5, two printed circuit board strips 22 each having four lighting means sections 23 are arranged in parallel in order to form a closed printed circuit board 21 or lighting means layer 8. In principle, any number of printed circuit board strips 22 can be assembled to form the printed circuit board 21 or lighting means layer 8. The individual lighting means sections 23 are electrically contacted to one another along the printed circuit board strip 22, e.g. via the conductor tracks, wherein the printed circuit board strips 22 are electrically connected to one another, for example, via a bus connection. The bus connection can be formed, for example, between the lighting means section 23 and an adjacent lighting means section 23 on another printed circuit board strip 22. For example, all the lighting means sections 23 have a bus connection, so that when further printed circuit board strips 22 are applied they are electrically contacted.The lighting means sections 23 have the lighting means regions 9. The lighting means regions 9 are formed by at least one, exactly one or by a plurality of contiguous lighting means 17. The lighting means regions 9 are formed, for example, from three lighting means 17, e.g. three LEDs, which are arranged in rows or arrays. The illuminant regions 9 are arranged in such a way that, when the illuminant layer 8 is superimposed on the cover layer 13, the passage regions 15 are arranged exactly above the illuminant regions 9. The lighting means 17 of a lighting means region 9 are each assigned to a passage region 15. According to the structure from FIG. 3, the compensating layer 11 is formed between the illuminant layer 8 and the covering layer 13, wherein said compensating layer diffuses the light of the illuminants 17. As a result, the light distributes itself, but is blocked by the cover layer 13 when it exits from the compensation view 11 and is restricted to the transmission regions 15. A more uniform illumination pattern 16 is produced by the compensating layer 13.To generate the first illumination pattern 20 a, the first set 18 of illuminant regions 9 is illuminated. These rays the light through the translucent balancing layer 11, the light being dimmed by the overlying cover layer 13, so that the light passes out of the passage regions 15 of the first set 18. The first set 18 comprises lighting means regions 9 of different lighting means sections 23 and different printed circuit board strips 22, the lighting means 17 of a lighting means region 9 being selectively controllable. In order to generate the second illumination pattern 20 b, the second set of illuminant regions 9 is illuminated. This again has an intersection of lighting means regions 9 with the first set 18. In order to change the first into the second illumination pattern 20 a, b, the illumination device 4 a, bhas, for example, the control unit which, in addition to the selective actuation of the illuminant regions 9, also controls the brightness and / or color rendering of the illuminants 17.List of reference characters1 Cabin arrangement 2 a,b Cabin section 3 a,b Cladding region 4 a,b Lighting device 5 Window cutout 6 Carrier 7 Connecting element 8 Lighting means layer 9 Lighting means regions 10 Adhesive point connection 11 Compensation layer 12 Connecting layer 13 Covering layer 14 Decorative layer 15 Passage regions 16 Lighting pattern 17 Lighting means 18 First set 19 Second set 20 aFirst lighting pattern 20 bSecond lighting pattern 21 Printed circuit board 22 Printed circuit board strip 23 Lighting means regions
