A foil structure with generation of visible light using LED technology includes a carrier foil and an LED chip for generation of UV light. The LED chip is disposed on the carrier foil and is provided with a light output face for emission of the UV light. Furthermore, the foil structure includes a color reaction layer for conversion of the UV light into the visible light. The color reaction layer is disposed above the LED chip or in a manner laterally offset relative to the LED chip. The color reaction layer is provided with a structuring, so that the UV light emitted from the light output face of the LED chip is not emitted into the surroundings of the foil structure.
