Abstract

A vehicle member includes: a film-shaped part that is semitransparent and has electric-wave transmittance; a glossy film disposed on a first side of the film-shaped part; and a surface member that is optically transparent, is integrated with the film-shaped part, and covers a second side of the film-shaped part.

Claims (51)

1. A vehicle member comprising:

a film that is semitransparent and has millimeter wave transmittance;

a coated film disposed on a first side of the film; and

a surface member that is optically transparent, is integrated with the film, and covers a second side of the film, wherein

an embossed pattern is formed on the second side of the film, and

the film is formed so that light that has transmitted through the surface member is reflected on the film in different manners between a portion of the film where the embossed pattern is formed and a portion of the film where the embossed pattern is not formed.

2. The vehicle member of claim 1 , wherein

a portion of the film on which the coated film is disposed has a metallic luster.

3. The vehicle member of claim 1 , wherein

the film contains no metal components.

4. The vehicle member of claim 1 , wherein

at least a portion of the vehicle member is disposed in a millimeter wave transmission/reception region of a vehicle-mounted radar device.

5. The vehicle member of claim 1 , wherein

the coated film is a gray coated film.

6. The vehicle member of claim 1 , wherein

the film is a stack of polymer thin films.

7. A vehicle member comprising:

a film that is semitransparent and has millimeter wave transmittance, wherein the film is a stack of polymer thin films;

a coated film disposed on a first side of the film;

a surface member that is optically transparent, is integrated with the film, and covers a second side of the film; and

a light-shielding film partially disposed on the second side of the film and having a predetermined pattern.

8. The vehicle member of claim 7 , wherein

a portion where the light-shielding film is provided and a portion where the light-shielding film is not provided have different lightnesses of a color and/or chromas of a color.

9. The vehicle member of claim 7 , wherein

the light-shielding film includes a printed film or a coated film.

10. The vehicle member of claim 7 , wherein

the film has a metallic luster.

11. The vehicle member of claim 7 , wherein

the film contains no metal components.

12. The vehicle member of claim 7 , wherein

at least a portion of the vehicle member is disposed in a millimeter wave transmission/reception region of a vehicle-mounted radar device.

13. A vehicle member comprising:

a film that is semitransparent and has millimeter wave transmittance;

a glossy film disposed on a first side of the film; and

a surface member that is optically transparent, is integrated with the film, and covers a second side of the film, wherein

an embossed pattern is formed on the second side of the film, and

the film is formed so that light that has transmitted through the surface member is reflected on the film in different manners between a portion of the film where the embossed pattern is formed and a portion of the film where the embossed pattern is not formed.

14. The vehicle member of claim 13 , wherein

the glossy film has a lightness of a color greater than 0% and less than 100%.

15. The vehicle member of claim 13 , wherein

the glossy film includes a printed film or a coated film.

16. The vehicle member of claim 13 , further comprising

a light-shielding film partially disposed on the second side of the film and having a predetermined pattern.

17. The vehicle member of claim 16 , wherein

a portion where the light-shielding film is provided and a portion where the light-shielding film is not provided have different lightnesses of a color and/or chromas of a color.

18. The vehicle member of claim 13 , wherein

the film has a metallic luster.

19. The vehicle member of claim 13 , wherein

the film contains no metal components.

20. The vehicle member of claim 13 , wherein

at least a portion of the vehicle member is disposed in a millimeter wave transmission/reception region of a vehicle-mounted radar device.
