It is considered that a non-light-transmitting design part is formed on a light-transmissive member, and the design part is made to appear to be raised by reflecting the design part with a reflection member arranged with a space part. .

However, in the daytime when the surroundings are bright, the shadow of the design part is reflected by the reflecting member, so that the design part appears to rise, but the shadow of the design part disappears at night when the surroundings are dark. There is a problem that the design part does not appear to be raised.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a structure in which a reflecting member is arranged with a non-light-transmitting design portion and a space formed in a light-transmitting member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative member capable of making a design part appear to be raised even in a dark environment.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a decorative member provided with a light-transmitting design member having a non-light-transmitting design portion formed thereon, and the light-transmitting design member and the light-transmitting member having a space portion. The transparent reflective member is provided, and a planar light-emitting body is provided on the back surface side of the translucent reflective member.

According to such a configuration, in a bright environment, the shadow of the design part is reflected by the translucent reflecting member arranged with the space part, so that the design part appears to be raised. Further, in an environment where the surroundings are dark, the light from the planar light emitter passes through the translucent reflecting member to illuminate the non-translucent design portion from the back, so that the design portion appears to be raised.

In the above structure, it is preferable that the translucent design member is formed in a bulging shape protruding forward. According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a sense of perspective to the design portion, so that the design of the decorative member can be enhanced.

Further, it is desirable that the translucent reflecting member is formed in a non-planar shape. According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a sense of perspective to the shadow of the design portion reflected by the translucent reflection member, and thus it is possible to enhance the appearance of the image.

It is preferable that the planar illuminant is an EL panel. According to such a configuration,
Since the EL panel is thin, the overall thickness can be reduced. In addition, since the EL panel emits light uniformly, it contributes to making the brightness of illumination uniform.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a decorative member of a vehicle wheel cap will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross section of a decorative member of a vehicle wheel cap. In FIG. 1, the decorative member 1 is mounted on a vehicle wheel cap (not shown). The decorative member 1 is a reflective member 4 having a space 3 on the back side of a transparent design member (corresponding to a translucent design member) 2 having a bulging shape protruding forward.
Are integrated by a clamp member 5.

The transparent design member 2 is made of acrylic or polycarbonate, and has a groove-shaped design portion 6 formed substantially at the center of the back surface. In this case, a translucent color clear coat 7 is spray-coated only on the design portion 6, and a reflective film 8 is deposited thereon.
Also, a clear coat 9 is formed on the entire back surface of the transparent design member 2.
Is spray coated.

On the other hand, the reflecting member 4 has a flexible illuminant (corresponding to a planar illuminant) 11 attached to the upper surface of the support member 10 and a vapor-deposited transparent film 12 attached to the upper surface of the flexible illuminant 11. It is configured.
The vapor transmission film 12 has a light reflectance of 50, for example.
% And the light transmittance are set to 50%.

Then, the transparent design member 2 and the reflection member 4 having the above structure are integrated with the substrate 13, whereby the decorative member 1 is completed.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the flexible luminous body 11. In FIG. 2, the flexible luminous body 11 is composed of an organic EL panel or an inorganic EL panel, and FIG. 2 shows a configuration of the organic EL panel. That is, the light emitting layer a made of the phosphor powder has a form sandwiched between the insulating films b and c. One of the insulating films b is made of a transparent material, and on its upper surface, a transparent electrode d functioning as a light emission output surface and a conductive pattern e for supplying power to the transparent electrode d are formed. An individual electrode lead f is led out from the end of e.
On the lower surface of the other insulating film c, a common electrode g having a light reflecting function is formed so as to cover the whole area, and a common electrode lead h is led out from an edge of the electrode g.
The above-mentioned layer structure is sandwiched between moisture-absorbing films i and j made of transparent materials and package films k and m which are surface protective films for maintaining airtightness.

In an EL panel having such a structure,
When an AC voltage is applied between the transparent electrode d and the common electrode g, the light emitting layer a positioned between the electrodes d and g emits light, and the light is output through the transparent electrode d. . That is, the transparent electrode d emits light in a planar manner. The emission color of the EL panel can be arbitrarily set such as green, yellow, and white by appropriately selecting the phosphor powder of the light emitting layer e.
