See in particular fig. 13. The identification plate 1 provided by the invention sequentially comprises A, B, C, D four layers from top to bottom, wherein A is a substrate, B is a light transmission layer, C is a light shielding layer and D is a connecting layer. The specific manufacturing method comprises the following steps:
s10, selecting a proper substrate;
the substrate constitutes the main part of the sign 1. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate base material as the substrate. Because the sign board surface only need show that the light effect can in the character department, the board needs to have certain light transmission performance, and other positions except that show the character can not have the light to permeate through. Therefore, light shielding processing is required for positions other than the display character. A transparent PC board is selected as the substrate, which is capable of optical transmission. The PC board has certain thickness and hardness, is convenient for display characters to carve or screen print, and the thickness range of the substrate is 0.35-0.38 mm.
S11, carving or silk-screening a light-transmitting part on the lower surface of the substrate;
and displaying the display characters on the back surface of the substrate in a carving or silk-screen mode after the substrate is selected. Carving or silk-printing a light-transmitting part on the lower surface of the substrate, wherein the step of carving or silk-printing a display character on the lower surface of the substrate comprises the step of carving the display character on the lower surface of the substrate and coating a black light-transmitting ink layer on the position where the display character is displayed or silk-printing the display character on the lower surface of the substrate by adopting the black light-transmitting ink, so that when the light-emitting source normally emits light, light penetrates through the light-transmitting part 10, and the corresponding display character. Different control functions correspond to different display characters, and the light effect presented by the display characters can enable the running state of the vehicle air-conditioning system to be more visual
The thickness range of the black light-transmitting ink layer is 20-30 um. The black light-transmitting ink layer can allow light to pass through, but is black, when the light emitting source does not emit light, and when the installation cavity is dark or the light is dark, the marking plate is seen from the upper side of the vehicle functional display 100, the marking plate 1 is black, and the display characters are invisible. The mode can simplify the production process, and reduce the cost while ensuring that the display characters are invisible when the luminous source does not emit light or the light does not reach the preset intensity.
S12, arranging a light shielding layer on the lower surface of the light transmission part or the upper surface of the marking plate;
the light shielding layer can be made of light-blocking material or black opaque ink, and the step of arranging the light shielding layer on the upper surface or the lower surface of the substrate includes arranging a light filtering device on the upper surface of the substrate or silk-screening the black opaque ink layer on the lower surface of the substrate except the position where the characters are displayed to form the light shielding portion 11. The light filtering device and the black light-tight ink layer are used for isolating light of the light-shielding part of the identification plate 1, the thickness range of the black light-tight ink layer is 20-30 microns, the light filtering device can adopt a black light-passing plate, the thickness of the light filtering device is 1.5-2 mm, the light filtering device is fixedly connected with the identification plate 1 relatively, the light filtering device or the black light-tight ink layer can filter light emitted by the light emitting source, the positions of the identification plate 1 except for display characters are guaranteed not to pass through light, the positions of the display characters can be guaranteed to pass through light by the black light-passing ink layer, therefore, the light emitted by the light emitting source can only be transmitted along the positions of. The light filtering device is arranged on the surface of the identification plate 1 and can also play a certain protection role on the identification plate.
Of course, when the light shielding layer is formed by disposing the light filtering device on the upper surface of the substrate, the sequence of S11 and S12 may be changed, that is, the light filtering device may be disposed on the upper surface of the substrate, and then the display characters may be silk-screened with black transparent ink on the lower surface of the substrate; when the light shielding portion 11 is a black opaque ink screen printing method, the sequence of S11 and S12 may not be changed.
The layer-by-layer silk screen printing of the black light-transmitting ink and the black light-tight ink is selected to better realize the black screen effect of the surface of the identification plate 1 except the display characters when the light-emitting source does not emit light or the light-emitting intensity does not reach the preset intensity.
In order to facilitate the connection of the marking plate and the base, the lower surface of the black ink layer covers the connecting layer after the marking plate is manufactured. In this embodiment, the tie coat adopts M3468 viscose, covers M3468 viscose at the lower surface of signboard 1, and when the signboard was not connected with the base, M3468 viscose was favorable to protecting the printing ink layer of signboard, avoided droing and the scraping of printing ink layer, made the signboard can normally show, can connect signboard and base simultaneously, and the connected mode is simple reliable, is favorable to improving the commonality of signboard. Of course, a snap fit or other mechanical connection may be used to connect the label plate to the base, and this is not to be taken to name a few.
In order to ensure that the displayed characters have uniform brightness, a light guide plate 5 is arranged between the base and the identification plate, and the light guide plate 5 can play a certain supporting role on the identification plate. The light guide plate can be made of frosted materials or light scattering powder is added into transparent materials, so that the transmission of a light path is changed, the refraction and scattering times of light are increased, and the brightness uniformity of the light when the light is emitted from the surface of the vehicle functional display is ensured. The light guide plate and the base are integrally formed or fixedly assembled. The light guide plate may also be disposed between the circuit board assembly 4 and the base 2, and the light emitted from the light source 42 is first scattered by the light guide plate 5 to form uniform light, and then transmitted to the surface of the sign board 1 along the mounting cavity to be displayed by the display characters.
By adopting the manufacturing method provided by the invention, the display characters of the identification plate can be ensured to show good light effect when the light emitting source emits light, the display characters are invisible when the light emitting source does not emit light, the display effect of the display characters is clear and accurate, the user experience is favorably improved, the process is simple, and the cost is lower.
