Abstract

Described is an interface (10) for a control device having a front face (11) and a rear face (12) and comprising a plurality of layers grouped in a covering assembly (13) and a tactile assembly (14) extending between the front face (11) and the rear face (12); The covering assembly (13) comprises, in sequence: —a protective layer (15) having the front face (11); —a masking layer (16) which directly or indirectly covers a second face of the protective layer (15). The said tactile assembly (14) comprises—an operative layer (17) with sensitive pads (19) reactive to touch and permeable to light, transparent or perforated; —a matrix layer (21), opaque and equipped with shaped portions (23) which are either permeable to light or transparent or perforated and aligned with the sensitive pads (19). The sensitive pads (19) and/or the shaped portions (23) are configured to form signs (B) designed to generate luminous symbols visible after backlighting of the interface (10). The masking layer (16) has a permeability to light such that the signs (B) are not visible through said masking layer (16) when said front face (11) is illuminated by a light radiation resulting in a luminance not exceeding 4000 lx and the interface (10) is not backlit.
