Abstract
Description
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a method of forming aluminum metallized films and protective films--such as silicone plasma polymerized films for protecting the aluminum metallized films--on synthetic-resin base materials through lined up processing stages.
[0003] More specifically, the invention relates to a method of forming aluminum metallized films and silicone protective films through the steps of housing and lining up, in a predetermined case, a plurality of synthetic-resin base materials for use in various reflectors--such as reflective mirrors for use in vehicular lamps such as automobiles, two-wheeled automobiles and the like, particularly synthetic-resin base materials of reflectors to be mounted in discharge headlamps--and passing the case successively through an aluminum metallizing chamber and a silicone protective film forming chamber. The invention also relates to a reflector formed by the above-described method.
