First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A panel for a vehicle interior comprising a cover layer and a mask layer, wherein the cover layer has a frontside and a backside, and the mask layer is disposed at the backside of the cover layer, the cover layer comprises a semi-transparent layer, and the cover layer has a light transmittance of at most 90 percent in a direction perpendicular to the frontside, wherein the mask layer comprises a transparent display region and an opaque region, wherein the opaque region is located adjacent to the display region, wherein the mask layer comprises a transparent region and a transition region, wherein the transition region is disposed between the transparent region and the opaque region and the light transmittance increases in the transition region in a direction from the opaque region towards the transparent region. 2. The panel of claim 1 , characterised in that the semi-transparent layer is made of glass or covered by a glass layer. 3. The panel of claim 2 characterised in that at least one layer of the cover layer is bent by cold forming. 4. The panel of claim 2 , characterised in that at least one layer of the cover layer is bent by hot forming. 5. The panel of claim 1 , characterised in that the display region ( 3 ) is formed by an opening or a transparent material. 6. The panel of claim 1 , characterised in that the semi-transparent layer has a light transmittance of at least 20 percent in the direction perpendicular to the frontside. 7. The panel of claim 1 , characterised in that the transition region comprises a gradual transition. 8. The panel of claim 1 , characterised in that the panel comprises a carrier that supports the cover layer. 9. The panel of claim 8 , characterised in that the carrier is transparent. 10. The panel of claim 1 , characterised in that the panel comprises a display disposed underneath the display region. 11. A vehicle interior trim part, comprising the panel of claim 1 .
