Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019213209A1] A functional vehicle component and related methods include a functional leather assembly fixed over a vehicle component. The functional leather assembly includes a leather sheet, a flexible electronic circuit arranged on a first surface of the leather sheet that faces away from the vehicle component, and a pigmented coating arranged over the circuit. The circuit optionally includes one or more electronic components, such as a piezoelectric switch that can be actuated to make or break a conductive path in the circuit. The piezoelectric switch provides a haptic signal that indicates the actuation of the piezoelectric switch. The entire functional leather assembly, including the circuit, may be embossed to provide an embossed pattern to an exposed surface of the functional leather assembly.
