Abstract
A resin molding is provided. The resin molding includes an optically transparent plate-shaped portion, which has a first surface having a smooth surface portion, and a second surface having plural sections, wherein each of the plural sections has a width and includes one or more convex portions which have one or more ridge lines extending in a ridge line direction. The ridge line direction of the one or more convex portions of at least one of the plural sections is different from the ridge line direction of the one or more convex portions of one or more of others of the plural sections. When the first surface of the resin molding is observed from outside, the resin molding has metallic appearance.
Claims8
A resin molding, comprising:
- a plate-shaped portion having a first section and a second section adjacent to the first section, the plate-shaped portion made of optically transparent resin, the plate-shaped portion including
- a first surface on which light is incident from outside, the first surface configured to be observed by an observer, the first surface being flat across the first section and the second section, and
- a second surface located opposite to the first surface, the second surface including
- a plurality of first convex portions each having a ridge line extending in a first direction only inside the first section, the first convex portions each having a first slope surface and a second slope surface, the first convex portions each having a triangular cross-section in a plane orthogonal to the first direction, and
- a plurality of second convex portions each having a ridge line extending in a second direction only inside the second section, the second direction being different from the first direction such that the first section has a critical angle different from the second section, the critical angle being an angle that the light incident on the first surface and passing through the plate-shaped portion is totally reflected at the second surface, the second convex portions each having a third slope surface and a fourth slope surface, the second convex portions each having a triangular cross-section in a plane orthogonal to the second direction,
- wherein the first slope surface and the second, slope surface are disposed such that light incident perpendicularly to the first surface in the first section is totally reflected at the first slope surface, then the reflected light is totally reflected at the second slope surface to perpendicularly exit from the first surface toward outside, and
- the third slope surface and the fourth slope surface are disposed such that light incident perpendicularly to the first surface in the first section is totally reflected at the third slope surface, then the reflected light, is totally reflected at the fourth slope surface to perpendicularly exit from the first surface toward outside
- wherein the first convex portions and the second convex portions each have a pitch in a range between 10 μm and 200 μm.
