The material 1 has a number of independent protrusions 1p formed on the surface, and a continuous groove 1g composed of spaces between the independent protrusions 1p. Each independent protrusion 1p has a diameter ranging from 1 to 6 mm as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the base material/metal plate 1, and a minimum interval between the adjacent independent protrusions 1p preferably ranges from 0.2 to 3 mm. The water repellent film 2 is formed of a coated film preferably having a water contact angle of 90 degrees or larger. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
