Abstract
A shutter panel ( ) in which respective longer sides of slats ( ) made of synthetic resin are connected through hinge mechanisms to be freely bendable manner, wherein the hinge mechanisms include one hinge member and another hinge member. Each hinge member has a connecting groove that is opened outwardly. By fitting and coupling the longer sides of the slats into the connecting grooves respectively, smooth opening and closing of the shutter panel ( ) can be performed because of decreasing warpage or irregularities in thickness of slats ( ) or the hinge members and enabling smooth bending of respective slats ( ) connected by the hinge mechanisms.
