ABSTRACT:
The combiner1has a resin base11and a reflecting and polarizing member12. The reflecting and polarizing member12is unitarily molded with the resin base11as an insert and has a polarizer plate12A covered by a reflector film12B. At a border B of the reflector member12with the resin base11, a gradation printed layer13ais provided. Preferably, the reflector film has an undercoat layer12d, a reflecting coat layer12e, an overcoat layer12f, and a top coat layer12g. The undercoat layer prevents the reflector film from being stripped out of the polarizer plate, and the reflector film has a predetermined reflectance. The reflecting coat layer is protected by the overcoat layer, and the top coat layer has a water repellency.
