    摘要: A vehicle interior control panel includes a pressure-sensitive slider switch embedded within the thickness and beneath a decorative surface of a deco panel. The slider switch in non-visible and includes a variable resistance layer that sequentially and electrically connects different pairs of electrical contacts in the deco panel as a user-applied pressure is moved across the decorative surface and over the slider switch. The slider switch operates to change a parameter or characteristic of a display panel during use. Light from a light source beneath the deco panel is emitted at the decorative surface through otherwise non-visible perforations. The control panel appears to be only a wood panel until activated via user-applied pressure.

    摘要: A vehicular display device includes: a decoration panel that includes a base, the base including one surface thereof configured as a design surface and an opening formed therein, and the decoration panel being provided at an interior in a vehicle; a diffusion member that is configured to block the opening of the base; and a sheet member that includes a light transmission type screen portion, the light transmission type screen portion including a light transmitting portion and a light shielding portion mixed therein, the light transmitting portion being configured such that light that has been irradiated from a side of another surface of the base to be diffused by the diffusion member is transmitted, and the light shielding portion being configured such that the light cannot be transmitted, and the sheet member being provided on the design surface such that the light transmission type screen portion covers the diffusion member.
