Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend in Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der zugehörigen Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The invention is described below in exemplary embodiments on the basis of the associated Drawings explained in more detail. Show it:

Fig. 1 schematisch eine in einen Heckspoiler integrierte Bremsleuchte und Fig. 1 shows schematically an integrated brake light in a rear spoiler and

Fig. 2 schematisch eine in einen Außenspiegel integrierte Fahrtrichtungsanzeige. Fig. 2 schematically shows a direction indicator integrated in an exterior mirror.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine Heckansicht eines Kraftfahrzeuges 10. Hierbei ist eine in eine Karosserie 12 eingesetzte Heckscheibe 14 erkennbar. Ein Dach 16 des Kraftfahrzeuges 10 ist mit einem so genannten Heckspoiler 18 versehen. In den Heckspoiler 18 ist eine so genannte "dritte" Bremsleuchte 20 integriert. Der Heckspoiler 18 besteht aus einem Kunststoff-Spritzgussteil und ist nachträglich an dem Kraftfahrzeug 10 anordbar. Die Bremsleuchte 20 bildet eine entsprechende Ausformung des Kunststoff- Spritzgussteiles des Heckspoilers 18 aus und ist mit einer Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22 beschichtet. Die Herstellung der Bremsleuchte 20 erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise durch Anspritzen des Kunststoff-Spritzgussteiles des Heckspoilers 18 an die Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22. Eine Dicke der Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22 beträgt beispielsweise zwischen 0,15 mm und 0,5 mm. Somit kann in einfacher Weise die Bremsleuchte 20 realisiert werden. Innerhalb des Kunststoff-Spritzgussformteiles (Heckspoiler 18) braucht kein Einbauraum für Leuchtmittel vorgesehen zu sein. Dadurch wird die Herstellung wesentlich vereinfacht. Die elektrische Kontaktierung der Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22 erfolgt durch - hier jeweils nicht dargestellte - elektrische Leitungen, die in das Spannungsversorgungsnetz des Kraftfahrzeuges 10 in an sich bekannter Weise eingebunden werden. Die elektrischen Leitungen werden besonders vorteilhaft in einem Arbeitsgang zusammen mit der Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22 durch das Kunststoff-Spritzgussteil angespritzt beziehungsweise hinterspritzt. Fig. 1 is a rear view schematically showing a motor vehicle 10. A rear window 14 inserted into a body 12 can be seen here. A roof 16 of the motor vehicle 10 is provided with a so-called rear spoiler 18 . A so-called “third” brake light 20 is integrated in the rear spoiler 18 . The rear spoiler 18 consists of a plastic injection molded part and can be retrofitted to the motor vehicle 10 . The brake light 20 forms a corresponding shape of the plastic injection molded part of the rear spoiler 18 and is coated with an electroluminescent film 22 . The brake light 20 is produced in a manner known per se by injection molding the plastic injection molded part of the rear spoiler 18 onto the electroluminescent film 22 . A thickness of the electroluminescent film 22 is, for example, between 0.15 mm and 0.5 mm. The brake light 20 can thus be implemented in a simple manner. No installation space for lamps needs to be provided within the plastic injection molded part (rear spoiler 18 ). This significantly simplifies production. The electrical contacting of the electroluminescent film 22 takes place by means of electrical lines (not shown here in each case) which are integrated into the voltage supply network of the motor vehicle 10 in a manner known per se. The electrical lines are particularly advantageously injected or back-injected in one operation together with the electroluminescent film 22 through the plastic injection-molded part.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsvariante, bei der ein an der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie 12 angeordneter Rückspiegel 24 erkennbar ist. Ein Gehäuse 26 des Rückspiegels 24 besteht aus einem Kunststoff-Spritzgussteil und nimmt in an sich bekannter Weise einen hier nicht dargestellten Spiegel, Spiegelhalter und gegebenenfalls Stellantrieb für den Spiegel auf. In den Rückspiegel 24 ist ferner eine Fahrtrichtungsanzeige 28 integriert, die von einer Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22 gebildet ist. Die Herstellung des Gehäuses 26 erfolgt wiederum durch Anspritzen des Kunststoff- Spritzgussteils des Gehäuses 26 an die Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22. Andere Herstellungsmethoden, beispielsweise durch nachträgliche Applikation der Elektrolumineszenzfolie 22 auf das Kunststoff-Spritzgussteil, sind ebenso denkbar. Auch hier wird der einfache Aufbau ohne weiteres deutlich. Zusätzliche Einsätze für Leuchtmittel oder dergleichen sind nicht notwendig. FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment variant in which a rear view mirror 24 arranged on the motor vehicle body 12 can be seen. A housing 26 of the rear-view mirror 24 consists of a plastic injection-molded part and accommodates a mirror, mirror holder (not shown here) and optionally an actuator for the mirror in a manner known per se. In the rearview mirror 24 , a direction indicator 28 is also integrated, which is formed by an electroluminescent film 22 . The housing 26 is in turn produced by injection molding the plastic injection molded part of the housing 26 onto the electroluminescent film 22 . Other manufacturing methods, for example by subsequent application of the electroluminescent film 22 to the plastic injection molded part, are also conceivable. Here, too, the simple structure is clear. Additional inserts for lamps or the like are not necessary.
