Abstract

An interior component includes a transparent base, a covering applied to an outer surface of the base, and a light emitting unit that is located at an inner side of the base and emits light to an inner surface of the base. The covering is a knitted fabric formed by knitting an outer yarn, which has a dark color, and an inner yarn, which has a brighter color than the outer yarn.

First claim

1 . An interior component comprising:
a transparent base including an outer surface and an inner surface; a covering applied to the outer surface of the base; and a light emitting unit located at an inner side of the base, wherein the light emitting unit emits light to the inner surface of the base; wherein the covering is a knitted fabric formed by knitting an outer yarn, which has a dark color, and an inner yarn, which has a brighter color than the outer yarn.

2 . The interior component according to claim 1 , wherein the color of the inner yarn is a fluorescent color.

3 . The interior component according to claim 1 , wherein
the covering includes an inner surface from which the inner yarn is exposed, and the inner surface of the covering includes a pattern having a color that is darker than the color of the inner yarn.

4 . The interior component according to claim 1 , further comprising a sheet applied to at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface of the base, wherein a pattern having a color that is darker than the color of the inner yarn is illustrated on the sheet.

5 . The interior component according to claim 1 , further comprising a diffusion member located between the base and the light emitting unit, wherein the diffusion member diffuses the light emitted from the light emitting unit.
