1. A light-emitting diode module, for a vehicle, comprising:
- a glazing with main faces, and an edge face, the glazing comprising a first transparent sheet having a first main face and a second main face;
a plurality of light-emitting diodes each comprising an emitting chip able to emit a radiation having a wavelength in the visible spectrum, guided in the first transparent sheet, the emitting chip including an emitting surface to emit said radiation, the emitting surface of the chip arranged to face an outer surface of the first transparent sheet;
a bracket supporting the diodes, extending as a border of the glazing and fastened to the glazing; and
a seal against one or more fluids protecting the emitting chip and a light-emission volume of the chip that separates the emitting surface of the chip and the outer surface of the first transparent sheet before injection of the radiation into the first transparent sheet,wherein the glazing comprises a second sheet that is laminated with the first transparent sheet via a lamination interlayer arranged between the first transparent sheet and the second sheet, wherein at least part of a periphery of the second sheet extends beyond at least part of a periphery of the first transparent sheet so that part of an underside of the second sheet facing the first transparent sheet, located between said part of the periphery of the second sheet and said part of the periphery of the first transparent sheet, is not laminated with the first transparent sheet, and wherein the bracket is arranged against said part of the underside of the second sheet.

21. A light-emitting diode module, for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a glazing including two opposite main faces and an edge face, the glazing further including a first transparent sheet and a second transparent sheet that is laminated with the first transparent sheet via a lamination interlayer arranged between, and in contact with, the first transparent sheet and the second sheet, wherein at least part of a periphery of the second sheet extends beyond at least part of a periphery of the first transparent sheet so that a first main face of the second sheet facing the first transparent sheet has a portion, located between said part of the periphery of the second sheet and said part of the periphery of the first transparent sheet, that is not laminated with the first transparent sheet; a plurality of light-emitting diodes each comprising an emitting chip configured to emit a radiation having a wavelength in the visible spectrum, guided in the first transparent sheet, the emitting chip including an emitting surface to emit said radiation, the emitting surface of the chip arranged to face an outer surface of the first transparent sheet; a bracket supporting the plurality of light-emitting diodes, the bracket arranged against, and fastened to, said portion of the first main face of the second sheet, and a seal against one or more fluids protecting the emitting chip of each of the plurality of light-emitting diodes. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
