Abstract

The component (1) has a base body (2) provided with an applied electroluminescent layer, used for illumination of the component when supplied with electrical current via an electrical circuit (4) embedded in the base body, e.g. a voltage converter circuit. The electroluminescent layer can be overlaid with a protective layer which is at least partially transparent.
