PLASTIC MOULDING WITH SEAMLESS HUMAN-TO-VEHICLE INTERFACE INTEGRATION

A pillar assembly for a vehicle can include a substrate, a transparent layer, and a transparent flexible film layer sealed between the substrate and the transparent layer. The film layer can have disposed thereon or attached thereto an opaque material defining apertures corresponding to displayable elements, a capacitive-sensing layer, a plurality of light emitting devices disposed proximate to the apertures, and wiring connected to the plurality of light emitting devices and the capacitive-sensing layer, the wiring being configured to connect to control circuitry. A method of manufacturing a pillar assembly can utilize two separate film layers with a transparent or translucent polymer injected therebetween and a transparent material, such as polyurethane, flooded over an outer surface.

The present invention provides a method for producing a thermosetting resin molded article, in which emboss or decorative pattern can be formed at the same time of molding a thermosetting resin composition. In the present invention, a decorative film having abase film and a decorative layer is disposed on at least a design forming area in a surface of a shaping mold so that the decorative layer is faced inwardly, and a thermosetting resin composition is injected into a cavity of the shaping mold and the thermosetting resin composition is thermally cured. The base film is (1) a film which has a tensile elongation at break of more than 500% and a tensile stress at 100% of 0.1 MPa to 2.5 MPa, at the thermal curing temperature for the thermosetting resin composition; or (2) a film which is formed of a non-crosslinked olefin thermoplastic resin and which has a tensile elongation at break of 500% or more and a tensile stress at 100% of 0.1 MPa or more, at the thermal curing temperature for the thermosetting resin composition.
