  • Marker, method for manufacturing same, and optical component
    Patent number: 10591647
    Abstract: A transparent resin is injection molded to create a marker (10) as an integrally molded article (lenticular lens portion (11)) including convex surfaces (112) and recesses (113) formed on the rear side of the convex surfaces. The recesses (113) are filled with coating films (115) formed by applying and curing a fluid coating material. Each recess (113) is arranged corresponding to a convex surface (112) so that the coating films (115) can be observed as optically distinguishable from the side of the convex surfaces (112).
