<First Embodiment of Dial Panel>

Dial panel 100 of the vehicle instrument panel having a metallic texture according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, the panel 110 is formed of a light transmissive material, and is formed on the upper surface of the panel 110, the number and scale (112) a shielding layer 111 formed, a metal deposition layer 113 formed on the upper surface of the shielding layer 111, and a light transmitting protective layer 114 formed on the upper surface of the metal deposition layer 113 is included. .

The panel 110 is a circular plate and is manufactured by injection molding using a synthetic resin raw material capable of transmitting light. In this case, the panel 110 may be formed as a transparent or translucent region in which the numbers and scales are formed to transmit light, and the entire panel 110 may be transparent or translucent.

In addition, the shielding layer 111 is a UV paint containing a shielding quencher or a colored pigment / dye, and is applied to the upper surface of the panel 110. Here, as the matting agent, it is preferable to use colored silica (Si) having a shielding property, and the colored pigment / dye is preferably a colored UV-based paint such as black or gray having excellent shielding properties.

Numerals and scales 112 formed on the shielding layer 111 may be formed by applying the shielding layer 111 to the upper surface of the panel 110 and then laser processing, masking when the shielding layer 111 is applied The shielding layer 111 may be applied at the same time as the number and scale 112 are formed using a tape or the like.

Table 1 is a table showing the light transmittance of the metal deposition layer 113 when each metal is deposited on the dial panel 100 by thickness.

As shown in Table 1, when aluminum is deposited, 99% of light is transmitted when the thickness of the metal deposition layer 113 is less than 5 nm. This is because the thickness of the metal deposition layer 113 is so thin that light is almost transmitted, so that the metal texture of the metal deposition layer 113 may not be sufficiently expressed.

When the light transmittance of the metal deposition layer 113 is 50% or less, the metal texture of the metal deposition layer 113 is sufficiently expressed.

Therefore, when the metal deposition layer 113 is formed of aluminum, the thickness of the metal deposition layer 113 should be at least about 78 nm or more.

When the metal deposition layer 113 is deposited with aluminum to a thickness of 100 nm, the metal deposition layer 113 has a light transmittance of 35%. The metal deposition layer 113 must be formed to have a light transmittance of 35% or more so that the numbers and scales 112 can be identified from the outside of the dial panel 100.

However, when the metal deposition layer 113 is deposited with a thickness of more than 100 nm of aluminum, the light transmittance drops to less than 35%, so that the numbers and scales 112 cannot be discerned or visible from the outside of the dial panel 100. Will not.

That is, when the metal deposition layer 113 is formed of aluminum, the thickness of the metal deposition layer 113 should be formed in the range of about 78 nm to 100 nm.

In addition, when the metal deposition layer 113 is formed of titanium, the light transmittance of the metal deposition layer 113 should be formed in the range of 35% to 50%, the thickness of the metal deposition layer 113 is approximately 75nm to 97nm. It should be formed within the range of.

In addition, when the metal deposition layer 113 is formed of silver, since the light transmittance of the metal deposition layer 113 should be formed in the range of 35% to 50%, the thickness of the metal deposition layer 113 is approximately 5 nm to 32 nm. It should be formed within the range of.

The metal deposition layer 113 using other metals such as nickel, chromium, stainless steel, copper, indium and tin may have a thickness range of the metal deposition layer 113 for each metal according to the transmittance of Table 1 above. This can be inferred from Table 1 and will not be described separately.

On the other hand, the light-transmissive protective layer 114 is a UV coating applied to the upper surface of the metal deposition layer 113, the light-transmissive protective layer 114 is protected by the metal deposition layer 113 from external scratches, friction, and the like. . Here, since the light transmissive protective layer 114 is for protecting the metal deposition layer 113, when the instrument panel exterior case such as glass is positioned on the metal deposition layer 113, the light transmissive protective layer 114 is used. Can be omitted.

Meanwhile, the light transmissive protective layer 114 may be formed to have a color. When the light transmissive protective layer 114 is colored, the color of the metal deposition layer 113 changes according to the color of the light transmissive protective layer 114. For example, when the light transmissive protective layer 114 is formed in yellow, the metal deposition layer 113 will look like a golden color because yellow is added to the color of the metal. Therefore, the operator can change the color of the light transmissive protective layer 114 to the desired color to manufacture the dial panel 100 of the desired color. In addition, by changing the color of the colored pigment or dye contained in the shielding layer 111 may be achieved to the above object.

As shown in Table 2, when aluminum is deposited, 99% of light is transmitted when the thickness of the metal deposition layer 233 is less than 5 nm. This is because the thickness of the metal deposition layer 233 is so thin that light is almost transmitted and thus the metal texture of the metal deposition layer 233 may not be sufficiently expressed.

When the light transmittance of the metal deposition layer 233 is 50% or less, the metal texture of the metal deposition layer 233 is sufficiently expressed.

Therefore, when the metal deposition layer 233 is formed of aluminum, the thickness of the metal deposition layer 233 should be at least about 78 nm or more.

For example, when the light transmissive protective layer 234 is formed in yellow, the metal deposition layer 233 will look like a golden color since yellow is added to the color of the metal. Therefore, the operator can change the color of the light transmissive protective layer 234 to the desired color to produce the guide 200 of the desired color. In addition, by changing the color of the colored pigment or dye included in the shielding layer 231 may be achieved to achieve the above object.

Since the pointer 200 is displayed only when light is supplied by the light source 300, the guide 200 manufactured by the series of processes as described above may increase the simple design aesthetics of the vehicle instrument panel.
