  • Publication number: 20220308206
    Abstract: A vehicle exterior part is configured to be arranged frontward of a millimeter wave radar device with respect to the transmission direction of millimeter waves. The vehicle exterior part includes an ornamental body, a light source that emits light, and a light diffuse reflection member. The light diffuse reflection member is millimeter wave-transmissive and diffuses and reflects light. The ornamental body includes a base and an ornamental layer. The base is millimeter wave-transmissive and diffuses and transmits the light. The ornamental layer is millimeter wave-transmissive and arranged frontward of the base with respect to the transmission direction. The light source, the ornamental body, and the light diffuse reflection member are arranged so that the light emitted from the light source is diffused and reflected by the light diffuse reflection member and directed toward the base.

  • Patent number: 9831408
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes: a first lead including a first base portion having a constant thickness and a first small-thickness portion having a thickness smaller than that of the first base portion; a second lead including a second base portion having a constant thickness and a second small-thickness portion having a thickness smaller than that of the second base portion; wherein the first small-thickness portion and the second small-thickness portion face each other with a gap interposed therebetween; the length of the gap is 0.9 to 1.2 times the thickness of the edges of the first small-thickness portion and the second small-thickness portion; the length of the bonding wire in a plan view of the light emitting device is smaller than a value obtained by adding the thickness of the base portion, a width of a mounting-disabled area, and a width of a bonding-disabled area.
