  • Publication number: 20240165900
    Abstract: Proposed is a hidden lighting lens formation apparatus. In a film formation process, a transmissivity-adjustable film having a flange whose rear surface is fixed to a top portion overlapping a lens hidden lighting section, an end portion of a both-end portion rear surface, and a fixation hole is manufactured. In an injection formation process, the film is fixed with a cavity sidewall, a film insertion portion, and a protrusion in a cavity in a mold. A lens and a bezel are formed by injecting resin through injection molding. As a result, the film absorbs film-forming dispersion for high-frequency formation. Additionally, when a lens, together with the film, is formed through insertion injection, a desired pattern can be formed without causing an inconsistent shape of an end portion of the film in the cavity in the mold and pushing the end portion of the film.
