  • Patent number: 11951727
    Abstract: A carbon decorative panel includes a carbon-toned irregular surface. The carbon-toned irregular surface has a plurality of unit patterns that constitute a weave of pseudo carbon fiber bundles presenting carbon fiber bundles in a pseudo manner, as the protrusions and depressions that form the carbon-toned pattern. A plurality of unit patterns each have a top portion positioned at the center in the extending direction of the pseudo carbon fiber bundle and a pair of curved portions positioned on both sides of the top portion in the extending direction and formed in a curved shape. The curvature of a pair of curved portions in the section along the extending direction of a pair of curved portions is greater on the center portion side than on the end portion side in the crossing direction that crosses the extending direction.

  • Patent number: 11402242
    Abstract: A clear decoration body includes a character display area and an indicator display area that light up and display a design pattern by transmitting light. A first partition layer is laminated on a carbon style irregular surface, shields light, and forms a first partition boundary of the character display area. A carbon colored layer is laminated on the carbon style irregular surface, shields light, and forms a first partition boundary of the indicator display area. The character display area of the clear decoration body is provided with a projecting flat part that at least projects relative to a bottom part of irregularities of a decoration surface toward a side opposite to a viewing side, and that is formed in a flat shape.

  • Patent number: 11390112
    Abstract: In a resin decorative part, a carbon decorative panel includes a clear decoration having a body transmitting light and including a carbon-toned irregular surface provided on the body and having a carbon-toned pattern formed with protrusions and depressions. The carbon-toned irregular surface has a plurality of unit patterns that constitute a weave of pseudo carbon fiber bundles presenting carbon fiber bundles in a pseudo manner, as the protrusions and depressions that form the carbon-toned pattern. The unit patterns each have a top portion positioned at the center in the extending direction of the pseudo carbon fiber bundle. A plurality of unit patterns include at least two kinds of unit patterns with different top portion inclinations, where the top portion inclination is the inclination of the long axis along the long side direction of the top portion relative to the reference line along the extending direction.

  • Patent number: 11241959
    Abstract: A resin molded product that is applied to a vehicle display device has a surface on which a plurality of fine irregularities having surface roughness of equal to or larger than 1.0 ?m and equal to or smaller than 10.0 ?m and an array pitch of equal to or larger than 3.0 ?m and equal to or smaller than 18.0 ?m are molded. In other words, the resin molded product has the surface on which the fine irregularities causing a gloss value at an incident angle of 85° to be equal to or lower than 2 are molded. This configuration provides an effect that the resin molded product and the vehicle display device can lower gloss of the surface.

  • Patent number: 11173786
    Abstract: A resin molded article is applied to a vehicle display device for displaying information on a vehicle, and a high gloss region having a relatively high surface glossiness and a low gloss region having a relatively low surface glossiness are integrally molded. As a result, since the high gloss region and the low gloss region having different surface glossiness are integrally formed in a single resin molded article 1, the resin molded article and the vehicle display device obtain an effect such that various appearances are created with a simple structure.

  • Patent number: 10996084
    Abstract: In a resin decorative part, a clear decoration has a body transmitting light and includes a carbon-toned surface provided on the opposite side to the viewer side of the body and having a carbon-toned pattern. The carbon color layer is colored in a carbon color, is laminated on the carbon-toned surface, and has a reflective surface reflecting light transmitted through the clear decoration. The carbon-toned pattern is formed with a plurality of pseudo carbon fiber bundles presenting carbon fiber bundles formed by bundling carbon fibers in a pseudo manner. The pseudo carbon fiber bundle has a plurality of linear grooves that constitute pseudo carbon fibers presenting carbon fibers in a pseudo manner. The carbon-toned surface includes a pseudo carbon fiber bundle in which the length in the extending direction of each linear groove and the depth of the linear groove vary in a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 9738157
    Abstract: A decorative part for a vehicle display device includes a substrate body that is molded by synthetic resin and a mirror surface that is formed on a surface of the substrate body, in which the mirror surface is formed so that mirror surface roughness becomes larger than 0 and equal to or smaller than 0.35 ?m and a ratio of a wavelength becomes equal to or larger than 1:600 and equal to or smaller than 1:6000 in the case of an amplitude of 1, the amplitude being captured by a ratio of the amplitude corresponding to an average height of an undulation waveform and the wavelength corresponding to an average length of the undulation waveform in an undulation curve in which a cutoff value from a surface shape is 250 ?m.
