Benefits of technology

The present patent relates to a vehicle interior structure that reduces passengers' discomfort caused by reflected light generated by a mirror effect. The structure includes a polarizing layer that absorbs certain light and passes through other light to reduce reflection. The design of the structure enhances the driver's comfort and reduces the burden caused by reflected light.

Problems solved by technology

In such a case, passengers in the vehicle cabin, in particular, a driver has an obstructed field of view and thus may not have a good field of view, accompanying eye fatigue in some cases.
In particular, if a very glossy (highly reflective) member (for example, a highly reflective decorative layer such as a metal, metal-like, or metallic member) is arranged in the vehicle cabin, too strong reflected light may be generated, which can give a feeling of discomfort to the driver.
However, since the color of the light-absorbing sheet arranged on the instrument panel to prevent reflection in the window in the background art described in JP 3120434 U is limited to a dark color such as black, the design of the sheet is degraded.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0020][Vehicle Interior Structure and Configuration of Instrument Panel as Interior Member Thereof]

[0021]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a schematic configuration of an embodiment of a vehicle interior structure in accordance with the present disclosure as seen from the interior side of the vehicle.

[0022]In a vehicle 1 of an embodiment illustrated in the drawing, an instrument panel 10 produced from polypropylene (PP) resin or the like is disposed below a windshield 5, which is provided in an inclined manner in the front part of the vehicle 1, in the vertical direction (at a position where the instrument panel 10 overlaps the windshield 5 in the vertical direction) in the front part of the vehicle 1 ahead of the driver seat and the front passenger seat. In addition, a glossy portion 11 that reflects light coming through the windshield 5 is provided on an upper surface of the i...

Abstract

Provided are a vehicle interior structure in which a burden for passengers caused by reflected light generated due to a mirror phenomenon and the like can be reduced while at the same time the design can be enhanced, an interior member used therefor, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a polarizing member. An instrument panel as an interior member includes a glossy portion and a polarizing layer formed on the surface of the glossy portion, the glossy portion being adapted to reflect light coming through a windshield and the polarizing layer being adapted to absorb optical oscillation components in the vehicle width direction.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority from Japanese patent application JP 2017-178528 filed on Sep. 19, 2017, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a vehicle interior structure in which an interior member (for example, an instrument panel) and glass (for example, a windshield) overlap in the vertical direction, an interior part used therefor, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a polarizing member.Background Art[0003]When a vehicle such as an automobile runs, an object in the vehicle cabin may be produced as reflected light on the windshield due to a mirror phenomenon and the like (which is also referred to as mirror-like reflection or reflection in the window). In such a case, passengers in the vehicle cabin, in particular, a driver has an obstructed field of view and thus may not have a good field of view, ...
