May be used. As an example of such a combination, for example, an aspect in which an information display device is arranged on the surface of a leather-like sheet used as an interior material for an aircraft, or a belt portion manufactured with a leather-like sheet and an information display device A mode like a combined wristwatch-like wearable portable terminal can be mentioned.

  In the aspect as described above, the information display device is arranged separately from the leather-like sheet. In such a case, there is no sense of unity between the information display device and the leather-like sheet, and there is a problem that the high-quality appearance of the leather-like sheet is impaired by the arrangement of the information display device having a hard texture.

  An object of this invention is to provide the leather-like sheet | seat which can arrange | position a light emission part, without impairing the high quality appearance.

One aspect of the present invention includes a fiber base material including a nonwoven fabric of ultrafine fibers having a fineness of 0.8 dtex or less and a polymer elastic body, and having an apparent density of 0.50 to 0.85 g / cm ³ , and a light guide The fiber substrate has a first main surface and a second main surface, and includes a light- transmitting portion formed in at least one region in the surfaces . A transparent resin-molded sheet that is a transparent resin molded body that is integrally formed by penetrating only the surface layer of the second main surface, or a transparent resin film that is joined with an adhesive that has penetrated only the surface layer of the second main surface. It is. In such a light-transmitting leather-like sheet, when the light-emitting member covered with the leather-like sheet emits light, the light-transmitting portion of the leather-like sheet transmits the light emission. As a result, the surface of the leather-like sheet emits light when light enters the translucent part. On the other hand, when the light emitting member is not emitting light, since the light emitting member is covered with the leather-like sheet, an appearance with a sense of unity of the high-quality leather-like sheet is exhibited. Then, by using the above-described fiber base material, a light guide that is a transparent resin molded body is molded so as to be integrated only with the surface layer of the second main surface, or a light guide that is a transparent resin film is formed. When bonded with an adhesive that has penetrated only the second main surface, the fiber base material is dense, so the resin does not permeate the fiber base material. Is maintained, and it is preferable from the point that it does not become a hard texture.

Moreover , it has a high-class feeling that it has a leather-like appearance with silver on which a resin skin layer is further formed on the first main surface side, or a fur-like appearance with the surface of the fiber base material raised. The leather-like sheet is preferable because it has a more integrated appearance.

  Representative embodiments of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet and the leather-like light emitting sheet according to the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 10 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 of the first embodiment. FIG. 1A is a plan view, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line I-I ′ of FIG.

  The light transmissive leather-like sheet 9 includes a fiber base 1, a resin skin layer 2 disposed on one surface of the fiber base 1, and a light shielding layer 3. A light guide (light guide) 4 is bonded to the other surface of the fiber base 1 of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 with a transparent adhesive layer 6 through a light-shielding layer 3. The light shielding layer 3 is a layer interposed between the fiber base 1 and the light guide 4. The light guide 4 is a transparent resin film containing a diffusing material. The fiber base material 1 and the light shielding layer 3 are bonded via an adhesive layer 5. On the end face of the light guide 4, light sources 7 </ b> R, 7 </ b> G, and 7 </ b> B that emit light of different colors mounted on the circuit board 8 are disposed.

  As shown to Fig.1 (a), the light permeable leather-like sheet | seat 9 has the ring-shaped translucent part L1. As shown in FIG.1 (b), the translucent part L1 forms the thin part C thinner in the area | region corresponding to the translucent part L1 than the non-translucent part which is the surrounding area in the fiber base material 1. FIG. Thus, translucency is ensured. Further, the light shielding layer 3 is not formed in the region corresponding to the light transmitting portion L1. The light transmitting portion preferably has a total light transmittance of 1% or more, further 5% or more, particularly 10% or more, and more preferably 20% or more.

  The light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B are, for example, LED devices that emit red, green, and blue, respectively. The light emission intensity of each of the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B is adjusted by a light emission intensity adjusting unit (not shown) connected to the circuit board 8. By adjusting the light emission intensity of each color of the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B, light of a desired color can be formed in a wide range on the color coordinates.

  When a current is applied from a power source such as a battery (not shown) to cause the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B to emit light, the surface of the light guide 4 that is joined to the fiber base 1 emits light. Specifically, as indicated by arrows in FIG. 1B, light emitted from the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B is incident from the end face of the light guide 4 and diffused in the light guide 4. The light is emitted from the surface joined to the fiber base 1. And the emitted light injects into the thin part C corresponding to the translucent part L1 of the fiber base material 1. FIG. And as shown with the arrow in Fig.1 (a), the translucent part L1 light-emits on the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet | seat 9. FIG. On the other hand, when the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B are turned off, the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 does not emit light, and has a silver leather-like appearance with a sense of unity.

  The light shielding layer 3 in FIG. 1B is a resin layer containing a colorant having a light shielding property such as carbon black. The light shielding layer 3 is formed using, for example, a resin sheet containing a colorant. Specifically, for example, it is formed by adhering a resin sheet containing a colorant to the fiber substrate 1 via an adhesive layer 5 that is an adhesive or a double-sided tape. The other surface of the light shielding layer 3 is bonded to the light guide 4 via a transparent adhesive layer 6 having transparency.

  As a method of forming the thin part C of the fiber base material 1, for example, after bonding a resin sheet for forming the light shielding layer 3 on the fiber base material 1, laser-cutting the region where the thin part C is to be formed A method for reducing the thickness is exemplified. In addition, since the recessed part of the thin part C formed in this way is filled with a transparent adhesive when forming the transparent contact bonding layer 6, light transmittance is hold | maintained.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 20 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 19 of the second embodiment. The light-transmitting leather-like sheet 19 has the same configuration as that of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 of the first embodiment except for the following points. In the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 19, instead of adhering the light-shielding layer 3 using a resin sheet containing a colorant to the fiber base 1 via the adhesive layer 5, the fiber base 1 contains a colorant. It has the light shielding layer 13 formed by coating a coating liquid and drying. Moreover, instead of the light guide 4 which is a transparent film containing a diffusing material, a transparent resin containing a diffusing material formed so as to be integrated only with the surface layer of the fiber base material 1 on which the light shielding layer 13 is formed. It has the light guide 14 which is a molded object. The plan view is substantially the same as FIG.

  Also in the leather-like light emitting sheet 20, light sources 7 </ b> R, 7 </ b> G, and 7 </ b> B that emit light of different colors are disposed on the end face of the light guide 14. When the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B emit light by applying an electric current, the light emitted from the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B enters the light guide 14, diffuses in the light guide 14, and then the fiber substrate 1 The light is emitted from the surface that is joined. And the emitted light injects into the thin part C of the fiber base material 1. FIG. As a result, the light transmitting portion L1 emits light on the upper surface of the light transmissive leather-like sheet 19. On the other hand, when the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B are turned off, the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 19 has a silver-like leather-like appearance with a sense of unity.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 30 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 29 of the third embodiment. The light-transmitting leather-like sheet 29 has the same configuration as that of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 of the first embodiment except for the following points. In the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 29, instead of adhering a resin sheet containing a colorant to the fiber base material 1 via the adhesive layer 5 in order to form the light shielding layer 3, a colorant is added to the fiber base material 1. It is made to contain and the light-shielding property is provided. The colorant may be contained in the fiber itself forming the fiber base material, or the fiber base material may be impregnated with a polymer elastic body, and the colorant may be fixed with the polymer elastic body. Moreover, instead of using the transparent film containing a diffusing material as the light guide 4, the light guide 14 is a transparent resin molded body containing a diffusing material that is molded so as to be integrated only in the surface layer of the fiber substrate 1. Is used. The plan view has substantially the same configuration as that shown in FIG.

  Also in the leather-like light emitting sheet 30, light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B that emit light of different colors are disposed on the end face of the light guide body 14. When the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B emit light by applying an electric current, the light emitted from the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B enters the light guide 14, diffuses in the light guide 14, and then the fiber substrate 1 The light is emitted from the surface that is joined. And the emitted light injects into the thin part C of the fiber base material 1. FIG. And the translucent part L1 light-emits on the upper surface of the translucent leather-like sheet | seat 29. FIG. On the other hand, when the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B are turned off, the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 exhibits a silver-like leather-like appearance with a sense of unity.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 40 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 39 of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 4A is a plan view, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV ′ of FIG. The leather-like light emitting sheet 40 has the same configuration as that of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 of the first embodiment except for the following points. The light-transmitting leather-like sheet 39 is obtained by using a fiber base material 11 whose surface is raised instead of giving a silver-like appearance by laminating the resin skin layer 2 on one side of the fiber base material 1. Has a toned appearance.

  Also in the leather-like light emitting sheet 40, light sources 7 </ b> R, 7 </ b> G, and 7 </ b> B that emit light of different colors are disposed on the end face of the light guide 4. When current is applied to cause the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B to emit light, the light emitted from the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B enters the light guide 4 and diffuses in the light guide 4, and then the fiber substrate 1 The light is emitted from the surface that is joined. And the emitted light injects into the thin part C of the fiber base material 1. FIG. And the translucent part L1 light-emits on the upper surface of the translucent leather-like sheet | seat 39. FIG. On the other hand, when the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B are turned off, the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 39 has a fur leather-like appearance with a sense of unity.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 50 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 49 of the fifth embodiment. FIG. 5A is a plan view, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line V-V ′ of FIG. The leather-like light emitting sheet 50 has the same configuration as that of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 of the first embodiment except for the following points. The light-transmitting leather-like sheet 49 is formed of a transparent leather instead of forming a thinner portion C in a region corresponding to the light-transmitting portion L1 of the fiber base 1 than a region corresponding to the surrounding non-light-transmitting portion. The thin fiber base material 21 is used so that it may have translucency in the whole surface of the adjustment sheet 9. FIG. Further, the thin fiber base material 21 is bonded to the light guide 4 via the transparent adhesive layer 6 without providing the light shielding layer 3.

  Also in the leather-like light emitting sheet 50, light sources 7 </ b> R, 7 </ b> G, and 7 </ b> B that emit light of different colors are arranged on the end face of the light guide 4. When current is applied to cause the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B to emit light, the light emitted from the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B enters the light guide 4 and diffuses in the light guide 4, and then the fiber substrate 1 The light is emitted from the surface that is joined. At this time, since the fiber base material 21 is a light-transmitting portion having the entire light transmitting property, the light is emitted from the entire upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 49 as indicated by the arrow in FIG. . On the other hand, when the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B are turned off, the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 49 has a silvered leather-like appearance with a sense of unity.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 60 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 59 of the sixth embodiment. 6A is a plan view, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI 'of FIG. 6A. The leather-like light emitting sheet 60 has the same configuration as that of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 of the first embodiment except for the following points. The light-transmitting leather-like sheet 59 is transparent on the entire surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 9 instead of forming a thin portion C thinner than the area corresponding to the non-light-transmitting portion in the region corresponding to the light-transmitting portion L1. A thin fiber substrate 21 having optical properties is used. Further, the light shielding layer 3 is not provided. Further, an image display device 24 is used instead of the light guide 4. The display surface of the image display device 24 is bonded to the fiber base material 21 via the transparent adhesive layer 6. The image display device 24 is a device that displays an image with light such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel. 6 shows an example of a liquid crystal panel having a light source. When an organic EL panel is used, an independent light source is not required because the organic EL panel emits light. Moreover, the organic EL panel is excellent in flexibility.

  In the leather-like light emitting sheet 60, a free image can be displayed by light emission by the image display device 24. Since the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 59 has a light-transmitting property on the entire surface, the image D can be displayed on the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 59. On the other hand, when the image display device 24 is turned off, the upper surface of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 60 has a silver leather-like appearance with a sense of unity.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 70 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 69 of the seventh embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a longitudinal section for the sake of explanation. The leather-like light emitting sheet 70 has the same configuration as that of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 of the first embodiment except for the following points. The leather-like light emitting sheet 70 includes a linear light transmitting portion L2 instead of the annular light transmitting portion L1. Further, a contact switch 16 is incorporated in the translucent body 4. A switch mark 15 indicating the position of the contact switch 16 is shown on the surface of the resin skin layer 12 corresponding to the arrangement area of the contact switch 16.

  In the leather-like light emitting sheet 70, when a person presses the switch mark 15 with a finger F, the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 69 having flexibility is bent, and the contact of the contact switch 16 comes into contact with the circuit from the battery 18. A current flows through the substrate 8, and the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B emit light. Thus, by using the leather-like light emitting sheet 70 provided with the contact switch 16, the light transmitting portion L2 can be illuminated only when the contact switch 16 is pressed.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view of a leather-like light emitting sheet 80 including the light-transmitting leather-like sheet 79 of the eighth embodiment. In FIG. 8, a cross section in the longitudinal direction is shown for explanation. The leather-like light emitting sheet 80 has the same configuration as that of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 of the first embodiment except for the following points. The leather-like light emitting sheet 80 includes a linear light transmitting portion L2 instead of the annular light transmitting portion L1. A sensor 17 is incorporated in the translucent body 4. The sensor 17 is not particularly limited, for example, a temperature sensor for sensing temperature, a heart rate sensor for counting a person's heart rate, or the like. Furthermore, a control device 19 is provided for controlling the current value flowing through the circuit board 8 according to the current value generated from the sensor 17.

  For example, when the sensor 17 is a temperature sensor, in the leather-like light emitting sheet 80, the sensor 17 causes a different current to flow to the control device 19 according to the temperature of the temperature sensing unit. The control device 19 determines the current flowing through the circuit board 78 in accordance with the current received from the sensor 17. The circuit board 78 is provided with a circuit that adjusts the light emission intensity of each of the light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B according to the current supplied from the control device 19. The light sources 7R, 7G, and 7B emit light at a predetermined light emission intensity according to instructions from the control device 19, respectively. And the translucent part L2 exhibits the luminescent color according to temperature like red when temperature is high, and blue when temperature is low, for example.

  The layer structure and the like of the representative embodiments of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet and the leather-like light emitting sheet according to the present invention have been described above. Next, the light-transmitting leather-like sheet and the leather-like light emitting sheet will be described in more detail.

  Fiber base materials used in the production of light-transmitting leather-like sheets include fiber structures such as non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, woven fabrics, and knitted fabrics. A material impregnated with a modifier is used without particular limitation. Among the fiber structures, nonwoven fabrics, particularly nonwoven fabrics of ultrafine fibers are preferable. Since the nonwoven fabric of ultrafine fibers is dense, the apparent density tends to be high, the density unevenness of the fibers is small, and the uniformity is high. Therefore, when forming a thin part thinner than the region of the non-translucent part around the translucent part in the area corresponding to the translucent part, it is easy to accurately cut the fiber base using a laser cutter or the like. Moreover, since the light shielding property is likely to be high, the thickness is easily reduced. In addition, when forming a transparent resin molding that becomes a light guide by injection molding so as to be integrated only with the surface layer of the fiber base material, the molten resin does not penetrate the entire fiber base material and impregnates only the surface layer Since it is easy to be done, the soft fiber texture of parts other than a surface layer is maintained, and it is preferable from the point which does not become a hard texture. The case where a fiber base material including a non-woven fabric of ultrafine fibers is used will be described in detail as a representative example.

  The nonwoven fabric of ultrafine fibers can be obtained, for example, by entanglement treatment of ultrafine fiber-generating fibers such as sea-island type (matrix-domain type) composite fibers and the ultrafine fiber treatment. In this embodiment, the case where the sea-island type composite fiber is used will be described in detail. However, even if an ultrafine fiber-generating fiber other than the sea-island type composite fiber is used, it is possible to directly Ultra fine fibers may be spun. In addition, as a specific example of the ultrafine fiber generation type fiber other than the sea-island type composite fiber, a plurality of ultrafine fibers are formed by lightly bonding immediately after spinning, and a plurality of ultrafine fibers are formed by unraveling by mechanical operation. Such as a split-divided fiber, or a petal-type fiber in which a plurality of resins are alternately gathered in a petal shape in the melt spinning process, and any fiber that can form ultrafine fibers is used without particular limitation. It is done.

  In the production of the ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric, the island of the sea-island type composite fiber that is the resin component that forms the sea component (matrix component) of the sea-island type composite fiber that can be selectively removed and the resin component that forms the ultrafine fiber are first introduced. A sea-island type composite fiber is obtained by melt spinning and stretching a thermoplastic resin constituting the component (domain component).

  As the sea component thermoplastic resin, a thermoplastic resin having a different solubility in a solvent or a decomposability in a decomposing agent is selected from the island component resin. Specific examples of the thermoplastic resin constituting the sea component include, for example, a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ethylene propylene resin, ethylene vinyl acetate resin, styrene ethylene resin, styrene acrylic resin, and the like. . Among these, polyvinyl alcohol resins, particularly ethylene-modified polyvinyl alcohol resins, are preferable because they are easily contracted by wet heat or hot water.

  The thermoplastic resin, which is a resin component that forms island components and forms ultrafine fibers, is not particularly limited as long as it is a resin capable of forming sea-island composite fibers and ultrafine fibers. Specifically, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), isophthalic acid modified PET, sulfoisophthalic acid modified PET, polybutylene terephthalate, polyhexamethylene terephthalate and other aromatic polyesters; polylactic acid, polyethylene succinate, polybutylene succinate, Aliphatic polyesters such as polybutylene succinate adipate, polyhydroxybutyrate-polyhydroxyvalerate resin; polyamides such as polyamide 6, polyamide 66, polyamide 10, polyamide 11, polyamide 12, polyamide 6-12; polypropylene, polyethylene, polybutene , Polyolefins such as polymethylpentene and chlorinated polyolefin. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  As a method for producing a nonwoven fabric of ultrafine fibers, for example, a sea-island composite fiber is melt-spun to produce a web, the web is entangled, and then sea components are selectively removed from the sea-island composite fiber. The method of forming is mentioned. As a method for producing a web, a long-fiber sea-island composite fiber spun by a spunbond method or the like is collected on a net without being cut to form a long-fiber web, or a long fiber is cut into staples. And a method of forming a short fiber web. Among these, a long fiber web is particularly preferable because it is excellent in denseness and fullness. In addition, the formed web may be subjected to a fusion treatment in order to impart shape stability.

  In addition, a long fiber means a continuous fiber that is not a short fiber intentionally cut after spinning. More specifically, for example, it means a fiber that is not a short fiber intentionally cut so that the fiber length is about 3 to 80 mm. It is preferable that the fiber length of the sea-island type composite fiber before the ultrafine fiber formation is 100 mm or more, and it can be technically manufactured and unavoidably cut in the manufacturing process. The fiber length may be km or more. In addition, a part of long fiber may be inevitably cut | disconnected and become a short fiber in a manufacturing process by the needle punch at the time of the entanglement mentioned later, or buffing of the surface.

  Sea island type composite fiber is densified by performing fiber shrinkage treatment such as entanglement treatment and heat shrink treatment with water vapor in any process from removing sea components of sea island type composite fiber to forming ultra fine fiber can do. Examples of the entanglement treatment include a method of stacking about 5 to 100 webs and performing needle punching or high-pressure water flow treatment.

  The sea component of the sea-island type composite fiber is removed by dissolution or decomposition at an appropriate stage after the web is formed. The sea-island type composite fibers are made into ultrafine fibers by such decomposition removal or dissolution extraction removal, and a fiber bundle-like ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric is formed. The apparent density of the non-woven fabric of ultrafine fibers in a bundle of fibers may be further increased by heat shrink treatment, a heating roll, or heat pressing.

  The fineness of the ultrafine fibers is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.001 to 0.9 dtex, more preferably 0.01 to 0.6 dtex, and particularly preferably 0.02 to 0.5 dtex. When the fineness is too high, there is a tendency that a non-woven fabric with insufficient density is obtained. Moreover, it is difficult to produce a fiber having a fineness that is too low.

  The ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric thus obtained is subjected to thickness adjustment and flattening treatment as necessary. Specifically, slice processing and buffing processing are performed. In this way, an ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabric is obtained.

  In addition, for the purpose of imparting shape stability, fixing a colorant described later, or providing a sense of fulfillment to the gaps between fibers of a fibrous structure such as a nonwoven fabric contained in the fiber base material If necessary, a polymer elastic body may be contained. The type of the polymer elastic body is not particularly limited. Specific examples thereof include various polyurethanes such as polycarbonate polyurethane, polyester polyurethane, and polyether polyurethane, acrylic elastic bodies, polyurethane acrylic composite elastic bodies, polyvinyl chloride, and synthetic rubber. Among these, polyurethane is preferable from the viewpoint of excellent adhesiveness and mechanical properties.

  Examples of a method for applying a polymer elastic body to a fiber structure include a method in which a polymer elastic body is impregnated with a solution or emulsion of the polymer elastic body and then the polymer elastic body is solidified. As a method of impregnating a fiber structure with a solution or emulsion of a polymer elastic body, a process of immersing the solution or emulsion in the fiber structure so as to be in a predetermined impregnation state and squeezing with a press roll or the like is performed once or plural times. The dip nip method is preferably used. As other methods, a bar coating method, a knife coating method, a roll coating method, a comma coating method, a spray coating method, or the like may be used.

  The polymer elastic body is fixed to the fiber structure by impregnating the fiber structure with a solution or emulsion of the polymer elastic body and coagulating the polymer elastic body.

  The content ratio of the polymer elastic body in the fiber base is 5 to 40% by mass, more preferably 8 to 35% by mass, and particularly 12 to 30%, because the apparent density tends to be high. In terms of cutting workability and molding of a transparent resin molded product, the fiber base material is preferred because it is difficult to become hard.

Apparent density of the fiber base material is 0.50 g / cm ³ or more, more 0.50~0.85g / cm ^3, and particularly preferably from 0.50~0.80g / cm ^3. Such a high apparent density is preferable from the viewpoint that the fiber base material is difficult to be hardened when a machinability or a transparent resin molding is formed.

  The thickness of the fiber base material is appropriately adjusted according to the total light transmittance of the intended light-transmitting part and the application. For example, a preferable range is 100 to 3000 μm, further 150 to 1000 μm, particularly 200 to 900 μm, especially 250 to 800 μm. When the fiber base is too thick, the light shielding property is too high, and when it is too thin, the light shielding property tends to be lowered.

  The total light transmittance of the translucent part is preferably 1% or more, more preferably 5% or more, especially 10% or more, and particularly preferably 20% or more. In order to achieve such a total light transmittance, when a fiber base material containing ultrafine fibers is included, the thickness of the translucent part is 1000 μm or less, more preferably 900 μm or less, particularly 800 μm or less, especially 500 μm or less. It is preferable.

  The fiber base material may contain a colorant as necessary in order to adjust the light shielding property. The method for incorporating the colorant into the fiber substrate is not particularly limited. Specifically, for example, a pigment is blended at the time of melt spinning of a fiber of a fiber structure contained in a fiber base material to color the fiber itself, or the fiber is dyed with a dye, or it becomes a pigment and a binder. Even if the fiber mixture is impregnated with a pigment mixed liquid containing the above-described polymer elastic body, the pigment mixed liquid is dried to fix the pigment to the fiber structure with the polymer elastic body. Good. Among these, the method of fixing the pigment with a polymer elastic body is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of light shielding properties and high fastness.

  Any pigment can be used without particular limitation as long as it is fixed to the nonwoven fabric base material by a polymer elastic body serving as a binder. Specific examples of such pigments include, for example, carbon black, organic pigments such as phthalocyanine, anthraquinone, quinacdolin, dioxazine, perylene, thioindigo, and azo, titanium oxide, red rose, chrome red, Inorganic pigments such as molybdenum red, risurge, and iron oxide are listed.

  By forming a resin skin layer on one surface of such a fiber base material, a silvered leather-like sheet having a silvery leather-like appearance can be obtained. Moreover, the raising leather-like sheet | seat which has a fur leather-like appearance can be obtained by raising one surface of a fiber base material.

  Examples of a method for forming a leather-like sheet with silver include a method in which a resin skin layer containing a polymer elastic body such as polyurethane is formed on the surface of a fiber substrate by a method such as a dry surface forming method or a direct coating method. In the dry surface-forming method, after forming a resin film containing a polymer elastic body on a supporting substrate such as a release paper, an adhesive is applied to the surface of the resin film, and bonded to the surface of the fiber substrate, It is a method of forming a resin skin layer with a silver tone by pressing and adhering if necessary and peeling the release paper. The direct coating method is a method in which a liquid resin or resin liquid containing a polymer elastic body is directly applied to the surface of a fiber substrate and then cured to form a silver-coated resin skin layer.

  As the polymer elastic body for forming the silver-coated resin skin layer, polyurethane, an acrylic elastic body, or the like conventionally used for forming a silver-coated resin skin layer can be used. The silver-coated resin skin layer preferably has transparency in order to increase the total light transmittance of the light-transmitting portion of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet.

  The type of the polymer elastic body for forming the resin skin layer is not particularly limited. Specific examples thereof include various polyurethanes such as polycarbonate polyurethane, polyester polyurethane and polyether polyurethane, acrylic elastic bodies, polyurethane acrylic composite elastic bodies, polyvinyl chloride elastic bodies, synthetic rubbers and the like. These polymer elastic bodies may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, polyurethane is preferable from the viewpoint of excellent mechanical properties such as wear resistance and bending resistance. Among polyurethanes, polycarbonate / ether polyurethanes excellent in yellowing resistance are particularly preferable in order to suppress yellowing due to light irradiation from a light source. The polymer elastic body preferably contains a benzophenone-based, benzotriazole-based, triazine-based ultraviolet absorber, HALS, a phenolic antioxidant, or the like in order to suppress yellowing of the resin skin layer.

  Although the thickness of a resin skin layer is not specifically limited, For example, it is preferable that it is about 20-200 micrometers from the point from which the leather-like sheet with silver excellent in the balance of a mechanical characteristic and a texture is obtained.

  Moreover, as a method of forming a raised leather-like sheet, there is a method of forming a suede-like or nubuck-like decorative surface that has been brushed by buffing the surface of the fiber base material. The buffing process is a process of raising fibers on the surface of the fiber base material using sandpaper or the like.

  In this way, a leather-like sheet resembling leather is obtained. The leather-like sheet is further subjected to the following processing on the other surface with respect to the surface on which the decorative surface is formed, according to the type of the light-transmitting leather-like sheet to be produced.

  For example, in the case of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 shown in FIG. 1, the light shielding layer 3 is provided. The light shielding layer is a layer for supplementing the light shielding property of the fiber base material. A relatively thick thickness is required in order to maintain a sufficient light-shielding property with only the fiber base material. In such a case, by providing the light shielding layer, the light shielding property can be secured even if the fiber substrate is thinned. In the case of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10, the light shielding layer 3 is formed in a region corresponding to the non-light-transmitting portion excluding the light-transmitting portion L <b> 1 of the fiber substrate 1.

  Such a light-shielding layer is dried by, for example, adhering a resin sheet containing a colorant to one side of a fiber substrate with an adhesive or a double-sided tape, or coating a fiber substrate with a coating liquid containing a colorant. It is formed by doing. Further, the light shielding layer may be formed only by using a light shielding adhesive or double-sided tape.

  Specific examples of the resin sheet containing a colorant include, for example, a resin sheet containing a pigment having high concealability such as carbon black and titanium oxide as a colorant. Moreover, as a resin sheet, it is preferable that it is an elastomer sheet | seat which has flexibility from the point which can maintain the flexibility of a leather-like light emission sheet. Although the thickness of a resin sheet is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is about 10-600 micrometers, Furthermore, it is about 20-300 micrometers.

  Examples of the coating liquid containing a colorant to be coated on the fiber substrate include a liquid coating liquid containing a polymer elastic body such as polyurethane and a colorant. The viscosity of the liquid coating liquid is preferably about 3000 to 10000 mPa · sec from the viewpoint that the penetration into the fiber base material can be suppressed. The thickness of the film formed by drying such a coating liquid is preferably about 10 to 600 μm, more preferably about 20 to 300 μm.

  For example, in the case of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 shown in FIG. 1, the translucent part C is formed in a part. And the thin part C of the area | region corresponding to the translucent part L1 of the fiber base material 1 is formed thinner than the area | region of the non-translucent part around the translucent part L1. Further, the light shielding layer 3 is formed in the region corresponding to the light transmitting portion L1, and the light shielding layer 3 is formed only in the region corresponding to the non-light transmitting portion excluding the light transmitting portion L. Thus, by forming a translucent part partially, the translucent leather-like sheet | seat which light-displays a desired design is obtained.

  As a method of forming the light shielding layer 3 only around the periphery except for the thin portion C corresponding to the light transmitting portion L1 and the region corresponding to the light transmitting portion L1, a light shielding layer was formed on the entire surface of the fiber base material. Thereafter, for example, a method of cutting the light-shielding layer and the fiber base material to have a desired light-transmitting thickness along a desired design pattern using, for example, a laser cutter. In addition, since the fiber base material containing the nonwoven fabric of an ultrafine fiber as mentioned above tends to improve the apparent density, it is especially preferable from the point which can easily cut the pattern of the design which has a thin line width. The thickness of the thin-walled portion is appropriately set according to the type of fiber base material, the desired translucency, and the like. Specifically, for example, the thickness is about 100 to 1000 μm, and further about 200 to 800 μm. preferable.

  A light emitting member is arranged on the other surface with respect to the surface which forms a decorating surface with respect to a leather-like sheet. For example, in the case of the leather-like light emitting sheet 10 shown in FIG. 1, light is guided through the transparent adhesive layer 6 to the other surface of the fiber substrate 1 on which the resin skin layer 2 is formed. The body 4 is joined.

  As a method of arranging the light guide on the other surface with respect to the surface forming the decorative surface of the leather-like sheet, for example, a method of adhering a transparent resin film containing a diffusing material to the other surface side with a transparent adhesive, The transparent resin molded body is formed by injection molding in which the decorative surface of the leather-like sheet is opposed to the cavity surface in the cavity of the mold for in-mold molding, and the transparent resin containing the diffusing material is injected into the cavity. The method of shaping | molding is mentioned. Moreover, you may arrange | position a diffuser plate in the surface on the opposite side with respect to the surface joined to a fiber base material instead of making a transparent resin film or a transparent resin molding contain a diffusion material.

  The transparent resin for forming the transparent resin film or the transparent resin molded body is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent resin excellent in light resistance. Specific examples of such transparent resins include transparent acrylic resins such as polymethyl methacrylate, and transparent acrylic heat which is a block copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA). Examples thereof include plastic elastomers (for example, trade name Clarity manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.), transparent elastomers such as transparent polyurethane, and polycarbonate resins. Among these, a transparent acrylic thermoplastic elastomer is particularly preferable because it is excellent in flexibility and light resistance, and is excellent in moldability and adhesiveness. Specific examples of the diffusion material dispersed in the transparent resin include silica, calcium carbonate, aluminum oxide, glass powder, and titanium oxide.

  The thickness of the transparent resin film or transparent resin molded body used as the light guide body is such that the light emitted from the light source disposed on the end face is taken in and diffused in the light guide body, and the guided light is surface-emitted to emit light. The thickness is not particularly limited as long as it can be emitted to one surface of the substrate. Specifically, for example, it is preferably about 0.05 to 10 mm, more preferably about 0.1 to 5 mm.

When the light guide is formed by the method of adhering the transparent resin film to the other surface with a transparent adhesive, the transparent adhesive has an adhesive layer having a refractive index close to the refractive index of the transparent resin film when cured. An adhesive that can be formed is preferably used. Specific examples of such an adhesive include transparent adhesives such as polyurethane, polyester, polyolefin, acrylic, vinyl acetate, polystyrene, and epoxy. At this time, the thickness of the adhesive layer is not particularly limited as long as the light guided from the light source can be emitted to one surface of the fiber base material. Specifically, for example, the thickness is preferably about 10 to 600 μm, more preferably about 20 to 300 μm. As the fiber base material, it is preferable to use a fiber base material having an apparent density of 0.50 g / cm ³ or more, which contains a non-woven fabric of ultrafine fibers and a polymer elastic body. When bonded using such a dense fiber base material, the transparent adhesive does not penetrate into the inner layer of the fiber base material, and the soft texture of the fibers other than the surface layer is maintained, resulting in a hard texture. It is preferable from the point of not becoming. Moreover, since it is hard to extend | stretch and dimensional stability is high, the deviation | shift in a dimension when a transparent resin film is bonded together decreases.

On the other hand, a transparent resin molded body is formed by injection molding in which a decorative surface of a leather-like sheet faces the cavity surface in a cavity of an in-mold molding mold and a transparent resin containing a diffusing material is injected into the cavity. In the case of forming the light guide by the method of molding, it is preferable to use a fiber base material having an apparent density of 0.50 g / cm ³ or more, which contains a nonwoven fabric of ultrafine fibers and a polymer elastic body. When in-mold molding is performed using such a dense fiber base material, the transparent resin does not penetrate into the inner layer of the fiber base material, and the transparent resin molded body can be integrated only with the surface layer. It is preferable from the viewpoint that the texture of the supple fiber other than the surface layer is maintained and does not become a hard texture. In addition, it is preferable that the surface layer of a fiber base material is an area | region of thickness less than 50% with respect to the total thickness of a fiber base material, and also less than 30%.

  By arranging at least one light source for irradiating light to the light guide on the light-transmitting leather-like sheet, at least one region of the surface emits light when the light source emits light, and the surface is leather when the light source does not emit light A leather-like light-emitting sheet exhibiting a tone-like appearance is obtained.

  The light source is not particularly limited, but at least one light emitting diode (LED) is preferably used. As a specific example of the form of the LED, for example, a dome type LED, an SMT type LED, a chip-on-board type LED or the like is used without particular limitation.

  The number of LEDs arranged is not particularly limited as long as it is one or more. For example, red (R), green (G) to yellow (Y), and blue (B) forming the three primary colors are included. When three LEDs that emit light of each color are arranged, light of a wide range of colors on the color coordinates can be formed by adjusting the emission intensity of each color and mixing the colors.

  As a method of arranging at least one light source for irradiating light to the light guide, a recess for mounting the light source is formed on the end surface of the light guide, and the recess is arranged so that light emission of the light source is directed into the light guide. A method of inserting a light source into the concave portion and filling the concave portion with a transparent adhesive, or forming a concave portion for mounting the light source on the bottom surface of the light guide so that the light emission of the light source is directed into the light guide. Especially as long as the light emitted from the light source is taken into the light guide body and the guided light can be emitted to one surface of the fiber substrate, such as a method of inserting a light source into the recess and filling the recess with a transparent adhesive. It is not limited.

  Moreover, instead of a light emitting member including a light source and a light guide that guides light emission of the light source, an image display device as described above may be used as the light emitting member.

  The leather-like light emitting sheet according to the present invention preferably has flexibility. When it has flexibility, it can be preferably used for applications such as a wristband type wearable terminal where bending resistance is required.

Then, each molten resin was supplied to a plurality of spinning nozzles in which a large number of nozzle holes were arranged in parallel so as to form a cross-section in which 25 island components having a uniform cross-sectional area were distributed in the sea component. . At this time, it supplied, adjusting pressure so that the mass ratio of a sea component and an island component might become sea component / island component = 25/75. And it was made to discharge from the nozzle hole set to the nozzle | cap | die temperature of 260 degreeC.

  The molten fiber discharged from the nozzle holes is drawn by an air jet / nozzle type suction device in which the pressure of the airflow is adjusted so that the average spinning speed is 3700 m / min, and the average fineness is 2.1 dtex. The sea-island composite long fiber was spun. The spun sea-island composite long fibers were continuously deposited on the movable net while being sucked from the back of the net. And in order to suppress fuzz on the surface, the sea-island type composite long fibers deposited on the net were lightly pressed with a 42 ° C. metal roll.
