Polyurethane-based display, method for production thereof, and use of the polyurethane-based display and vehicle with a polyurethane-based display

1. A polyurethane-based display, comprising:

a decorative element having a cutout in a form of a blind bore with walls, wherein the decorative element comprises wood, wood veneer, ceramic material, stone or a combination thereof;

a printed sheet, wherein the printed sheet is disposed in the cutout such that a printed part of the printed sheet is visible and such that the walls of the cutout extend beyond the printed sheet toward a surface of the decorative element; and

a first polyurethane layer, wherein a visible side of the printed sheet is coated with the first polyurethane layer, wherein the first polyurethane layer fills a volume of the cutout defined by the printed sheet and the walls of the cutout, wherein the first polyurethane layer forms a form-fitting connection with the walls of the cutout, and wherein a surface of the first polyurethane layer opposite the printed sheet is aligned with the surface of the decorative element.

2. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , wherein the printed sheet includes images, numbers, letters or a combination thereof.

3. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , further comprising a second polyurethane layer, wherein the second polyurethane layer is disposed between the decorative element and the printed sheet such that the printed sheet is clamped in a sandwich-like manner between the first polyurethane layer and the second polyurethane layer.

4. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 3 , wherein a connection between the second polyurethane layer and the decorative element is free of adhesive.

5. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 3 , wherein a connection between the second polyurethane layer and the printed sheet is free of adhesive.

6. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 3 , wherein the first polyurethane layer is transparent and/or the second polyurethane layer is transparent.

7. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , wherein a connection between the printed sheet and the decorative element is free of adhesive.

8. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , wherein a connection between the first polyurethane layer and the printed sheet is free of adhesive.

9. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , wherein the decorative element includes a hole and/or a spike via which the first polyurethane layer is fixed.

10. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , wherein the decorative element includes a hole and/or a spike via which the printed sheet is fixed.

11. The polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane-based display is a gear-selector switch for a vehicle.

12. A method for producing the polyurethane-based display according to claim 1 , comprising the steps of:

a) preparing the decorative element with the cutout;

b) introducing the printed sheet into the cutout of the decorative element; and

c) applying the first polyurethane layer to the printed sheet.

13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising the step of:

d) grinding and/or polishing a surface which is produced by the decorative element and by the first polyurethane layer in the cutout of the decorative element;

wherein step d) occurs after step c).

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the first polyurethane layer is applied in step c) by injection molding.

15. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising the step of:

e) introducing a second polyurethane layer into the cutout by injection molding;

wherein step e) occurs before or after step b).
