Abstract
A surface light guide for a light of a motor vehicle. The surface light guide includes a light coupling section which is directly or indirectly connected to a light decoupling section. The light decoupling section includes a first flat side, a second flat side which is arranged opposite to the first flat side, a light decoupling surface which is arranged on the first flat side, and a decoupling structure which is arranged on the first flat side or on the second flat side. The decoupling structure has a plurality of individual and spaced-apart light decoupling elements. The decoupling structure deflects light rays which are coupled in by an illuminant so that deflected light rays are emitted through the light decoupling surface. The light coupling section couples in light rays from the illuminant and mixes the coupled-in light rays.
