Abstract
An electronic key, e.g., a wireless key for a vehicle, is disclosed. The key has a housing with a housing wall having a semi-transparent display section. An information symbol for representing information to be displayed to a user is further provided. The display section has a housing wall section with reduced wall thickness, wherein a light-impermeable layer, in which recesses representing the information symbol are produced, is applied to an inner side of the housing. The combination of a housing wall section of reduced thickness and the light-impermeable layer on the inner side of the housing as an information symbol provided in the display section creates an information symbol that may be very sharp and bright when backlit and, due to the semitransparent formation of the display section, is not visible when not backlit.
