Patent ID: 11086062

Abstract:
A circumferentially light-emitting thermoplastic resin molded body which can be bent for use according to the type of optical ornaments or the shape of an object to be decorated and which allows the overall luminance of the emitted light to improve and restrains the luminescent color from being yellowed at the distal locations of such body with regard to the light source. The thermoplastic resin molded body has a core layer made from a thermoplastic elastomer; and a first clad layer made from a thermoplastic resin whose refractive index is smaller than the thermoplastic elastomer from which the core layer is made, in which a light diffusing agent is added to the thermoplastic elastomer from which the core layer is made and the thermoplastic resin from which the first clad layer is made respectively; and the total light transmittance of the first clad layer is defined as less than 70%.
