Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting diode (LED) headlight unit that includes an integrally molded heat sink, LED module, and optics component. The method of manufacturing includes injection molding the heat sink that incorporates the LED module in a first injection molding step and then forming the optics component on the top surface of the heatsink in a second injection molding step. In an alternative method of manufacturing the LED headlight unit with the integrally molded heat sink, LED module, and optics component, the optics component is molded first, and the heat sink is molded onto the bottom surface of the optics component, thereby integrating the LED module into the heat sink.

The hard material compound in the coating may include a carbide, in particular titanium carbide. A sealing system is composed of stator and rotor blade having the layer system.

Abstract: A lighting unit which includes a multilayer body and at least a first light emitting diode (LED) light source. The multilayer body includes, in sequence, a carrier layer of a black or gray translucent thermoplastic composition, a stone layer with an average thickness of 2 mm of less, and a transparent thermoplastic layer with an average thickness of 1 mm to 6 mm. The LED light source is disposed facing at least one lateral edge of the transparent thermoplastic layer, such that light from the LED light source is guided within the transparent thermoplastic layer.
