Abstract
A lighting device for a vehicle, including a light source that is arranged on a circuit board, and a flat light guide, wherein a narrow side of the flat light guide is provided for coupling in light that is emitted by the light source. Oppositely arranged flat sides of the flat light guide are provided for relaying the coupled-in light via total reflection at the flat sides, and including a micro-optics structure that extends on a flat side of the flat light guide so that the flat side of the flat light guide, as a light outcoupling surface, is used to couple out the coupled-in light transversely with respect to a plane of extension of the flat light guide. The circuit board is arranged on a side opposite from the light outcoupling surface of the flat light guide, and the light source is arranged in an overhang portion of the circuit board that protrudes beyond a peripheral edge of the flat light guide.
