Abstract
A lighting device which is arranged on motor vehicles and/or in interiors of motor vehicles is proposed. It includes an electroluminescent layer assembly comprising at least one first electrode layer, a dielectric layer, an electroluminescent luminous layer and a transparent second electrode layer, wherein the electroluminescent layer assembly is arranged on a support and/or in a frame and the electrode layers are connected to an a.c. voltage control device. Preferably the electroluminescent layer assembly with the support and/or frame as well as the a.c. voltage control device with components and wiring arranged on a printed circuit board which is connected to the support and/or simultaneously constructed as a support for the electroluminescent layer assembly, and if necessary a transparent cover covering the electroluminescent layer assembly, form a compact structural unit.
