Description

The present invention relates to an automobile side visor such as a so-called roof visor attached to a roof portion along a side window of an automobile and a so-called door visor attached to a window frame of the side window.

An automotive side visor that emits light when energized is known, for example, from Patent Documents 1 to 3. However, these all have a light source such as an LED arranged on the back side of the transparent plate part,
The light is configured to be transmitted to the outside through the surface and the rear end surface of the plate part through the plate part in the thickness direction. For this reason, if the light is not diffusely reflected by, for example, engraving letters or patterns on a part of the plate covering the light source, the light source is noticeable and unsightly. Moreover, when the part which covers a light source among transparent transparent board parts is formed in a glass-like irregular reflection surface so that a light source may not be conspicuous, there existed a problem that the part obstructed a visual field.
