Abstract

An illumination unit for a vehicle component of a vehicle includes a housing and at least one light source that emits light through a light diffusion component and a light-deflecting film. The light-deflecting film is adapted to conform to an exterior contour of a vehicle component. The light-deflecting film closes the housing and has an inner side and an outer side, with the inner side closer to the light source than the outer side. The light-deflecting film has a microstructure on the outer side that deflects light emitted by the light source in a direction that differs from the angle of incidence of the emitted light at the inner side of the light-deflecting film.
