A light module for a lighting device of a vehicle is disclosed having at least one illuminant and a light-guiding body which is suitable and destined for guiding radiation emanating from the illuminant and coupled into the light-guiding body to a light exit surface of the light-guiding body, and having at least one rear wall apparatus which is arranged at least in certain areas in the beam path of ambient radiation incident from externally through the light exit surface of the light-guiding body into the light-guiding body. The rear wall apparatus has at least one first rear wall region and at least one second rear wall region, wherein the at least one first rear wall region and the at least one second rear wall region differ from one another in terms of reflection and/or absorption properties, for example with regard to the ambient radiation.

Light module for a lighting device of a vehicle and method for reducing a color desaturation in a light module for a lighting device of a vehicle

A lighting device for a motor vehicle, having at least one light guide, which is formed planar, and having at least one illuminant. Light rays from the illuminant can be coupled or are coupled into the light guide via a light incoupling surface assigned to the light guide. Incoupled light rays are deflected via at least one light outcoupling structure of the light guide in the direction of at least one light outcoupling surface of the light guide and are again outcoupled from the light guide via the light outcoupling surface. The invention proposes that a rear surface of the light guide, which surface is opposite to the light outcoupling surface, is provided at least over a majority of its planar extent with a facet-like surface structure, which forms the light outcoupling structure of the light guide and formed of a plurality of irregularly formed facet surfaces.
