A component () is disclosed. The component () comprises at least one flat decorative element () having a visible side () and a back side (), at least one layer () having a front side () and a back side (), which layer is arranged on the back side () of the flat decorative element (), wherein the front side () faces the back side () of the flat decorative element (), at least one housing () having an inner side () and an outer side (), wherein the inner side () faces the back side () of the layer (), wherein the housing () is made of a material which has a hardness that is different from the hardness of a material of which the layer (') is made, and wherein the housing () engages in at least one recess () arranged in the layer (&#x2032;) and/or the layer (&#x2032;) engages in at least one recess arranged in the housing ().

Component comprising a flat decorative element and housing

Before back molding, the planar decorative element is provided with through-holes. At least in the area of the through-holes, a film is applied to the rear of the planar decorative element. When a plastic melt is introduced, for example by way of injection molding or extruding, the pressure of the plastic melt presses the film into said through-holes. The component is used, in particular, to produce an illuminable field, for example, of a door sill protector of a motor vehicle.

Component having a two-dimensionally extending decorative element

Before back molding, a two-dimensionally extending decorative element is provided with through-holes. At least in the area of the through-holes, a film is applied to the rear of the two-dimensionally extending decorative element. When a plastic melt is introduced, for example by way of injection molding or extruding, the pressure of the plastic melt presses the film into the through-holes. The component is used, in particular, to produce an illuminable field, for example, of a door sill protector of a motor vehicle.
