  • Patent number: 11745395
    Abstract: A molded component displays an optical image that is visible from a front by allowing light that is emitted from a light source that is disposed at a back to pass therethrough. The molded component includes a light-shielding resin member that has an optical transmission hole that has a shape depending on the optical image in a plan view, and a transparent resin member that is optically transparent and that is stacked on a surface of the light-shielding resin member that faces the front such that the transparent resin member covers at least the optical transmission hole. The transparent resin member includes a peripheral portion that has a constant thickness, and a thin portion that is disposed inside the peripheral portion and that is thinner than the peripheral portion.
