US Patent 11420520 Decorative component

A decorative component for an interior space of a motor vehicle includes a display panel configured to cover a display element and/or constituting a display element. The decorative component further includes a decorative element, adjoining the display panel, configured to provide a visually and haptically perceptible decorative surface. The haptic and/or visual perception of the decorative surface is different than the haptic and/or visual perception of a panel surface of the display panel. The display panel overlaps the decorative element in an overlapping region and a material thickness of the display panel is designed such that it becomes monotonously thinner toward the decorative element in the overlapping region.
