A display element, in particular for a vehicle, that includes a decorative element and a multi-component plastic element, where the multi-component plastic element is connected to the decorative element. The multi-component plastic element includes a first plastic component and a second plastic component, where the second plastic component is in the form of an injection-molded symbol and is enclosed by the first plastic component such that the second plastic component is exposed on a top side of the display element. The first plastic component and the second plastic component have different colors.

A touch input device configured to operate a system of a motor vehicle includes a cover plate composed of a cover plate material having a plate top side and a plate underside, and also includes a touch sensor surface. The plate top side includes an operating surface, where the plate underside of the cover plate faces the touch sensor surface. The plate underside has at least one beveled surface arranged obliquely with respect to the touch sensor surface such that a clearance is formed between the plate underside and the touch sensor surface. The operating surface at least partly projects beyond the clearance and a filling body composed of at least one filling material is arranged in the clearance, where the filling material has a permittivity for electric fields that corresponds to a permittivity of the cover plate material.

Touch input device and electronic system for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A vehicle has a driver's position, a passenger position and a center console which is arranged between the driver's position and the passenger position. The center console includes an antenna which is designed to establish a wireless, radio-based near-field communication link.

Center console and electronic operating system for a vehicle

A control element housing has a front face that receives at least one control element, a rear face lying opposite the front face, a first side face and a second side face lying opposite the first side face, the two side faces connecting the front face to the rear face, a base which interconnects the two side faces and the rear face, and an upper face lying opposite the base, the upper face connecting the front face, the first side face, the second side face and the rear face. The base and/or the upper face has or have at least one structural weakening that allows the control element housing to be deformed under mechanical stress. Also disclosed is a door interior trim having the control element housing.
