Abstract
A lit component for a vehicle has a multi-layered structure with integrated electronic components with an outer surface on the visible side. One of the layers has a metal. On the side of the layer having the metal facing away from the visible side, light-emitting diodes are arranged as part of the electronic components. The layer having the metal that faces away from the visible side is partially covered by a colored layer. The portions of the layer having the metal that are not covered by the colored layer have a three-dimensional shape, in the region of which light de-coupling structures are arranged on the side of the layer having the metal which faces away from the visible side.
