Abstract
An illuminated running board for a vehicle includes a running board body and at least one light-emitting device installed in the running board body. The running board body includes two lateral ends and an outer end portion extending between the lateral ends. The light-emitting device includes a light guide bar and at least one illuminant. The light guide bar is held inside the outer end portion and includes a plane facing the outer end portion for development of a luminous surface. The illuminant is adjacent to an end face of the light guide bar and projects light rays which are guided into the light guide bar through the end face and emitted from the outer end portion, so that the running board can be clearly observed by passengers and other vehicle drivers for better security of the running board in service.
