Abstract

This board is a complex including a rigid support covered with a luminous fabric. The rigid support has a front face, a rear face, a first edge, and a second edge opposite the first edge. The luminous fabric at least partly covers the front face of the rigid support, extending from the first edge toward the second edge, and includes optical fibers extending over the front face of the rigid support substantially perpendicular to the first edge and the second edge. First ends of the optical fibers are bent around the first edge toward the rear face of the rigid support, and a gripping element are provided on the first edge and form a clamp for gripping the bent parts of the optical fibers and the first edge of the rigid support.
