    Abstract: A lighting device for a visual display in a rearview device of a vehicle includes at least one light element, at least one reflecting element which is included on or in a support element of the lighting device and is adapted to reflect incident light from the light element, at least one absorption element which is included on or in the support element of the lighting device and is adapted to absorb incident light from the light element, and at least one light guide element which is included on or in the support element of the lighting device and is adapted to collect and guide incident light from the light element, where the support element, the reflecting element, the absorption element or the light guide element are at least partially curved away from the light element.

    Abstract: A light guiding device for an illumination device, especially for a motor vehicle or an indicator device in a rearview device of a motor vehicle includes a light coupling side for incoupling light from a light source, a reflection side having a reflection layer; and a light outcoupling side, which is disposed generally opposite the reflection side. A clearance between the reflection side and the light outcoupling side generally decreases as the distance from the light incoupling side increases. The reflection side having the reflection layer is configured so that light arriving from the light incoupling side is deflected to the light outcoupling side. The reflection layer may be a paint or lacquer layer that is imprinted or evaporation-coated on the reflection side.

    Abstract: A display arrangement for a motor vehicle can be disposed in a rear view device such as an interior- or exterior rear view mirror. The display arrangement may include at least one light source and at least one optical unit. The at least one optical unit may include at least one light-conducting body having at least one coupling-in section through which light emitted by at least one light source can be coupled into the light-conducting body and having at least one coupling-out section through which light can be coupled out of the light-conducting body. The at least one optical unit also comprises at least one optical means which at least in some sections is or can be secured to the light conducting body such that it is overlaid on the surface of the at least one coupling-out section of said light-conducting body. The optical means comprises at least one optical element by means of which a beam path of at least the light passing through the optical element can be deflected and/or split into light bundles, in particular scattered. The display arrangement is characterized in that the optical means includes a plurality of optical elements which, when they are at the same distance from the coupling-in section of the light-conducting body, correspond in their refraction- and/or reflection behavior and, in the opposite case, differ. Further provided are a rear view device comprising such a display arrangement, and a motor vehicle comprising such a rear view device.
