Abstract
A switch structure includes a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light, a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part, a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through an opening in the moving block, and a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part and including a symbol.
Claims3
A switch structure, comprising:
- a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light;
- a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part;
- and
- a knob formed in an opening of the moving block, wherein the knob includes:
- a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through the opening in the moving block;
- and
- a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part, the film-printing layer comprising a symbol;
- wherein a top surface of the moving block is tapered in a height direction of the moving block and wherein the light-transmissive part is configured to surround the upper end of the moving block having a tapered shape;
- wherein the side surface of the moving block adjacent to the top surface of the moving block is formed to protrude further than a respective side surface of the knob so as to form a stepped portion between the side surface of the moving block and the side surface of the knob;
- wherein each of opposite ends on the film-printing layer is located inwards from an end of the moving block by 0.1 to 0.3 microns.
