Abstract

An optical module is provided, including a substrate (1) of a defined shape, the substrate having two surfaces (1a, 1b) opposite from each other and an edge (1c). A layer (2) covers at least one of the surfaces (1a, 1b) of the substrate (1). The layer (2) includes a transparent polymeric material and has at least one optical element (3) which scatters rays of light originating from the substrate and passing through the optical element (3). A design feature for at least one of mounting and aligning (4, 5) the optical module is provided in a mounting region of the layer and is the same material and the same part as the layer (2).
