The phosphorescent part is provided between the transmissive member and the white member and contains a phosphorescent material.

Provided is a thermoplastic resin film having at least one of film surfaces being excellent in printability, having sufficiently low internal haze, and exhibiting a favorable matte appearance. A thermoplastic resin film according to the present invention composed of a thermoplastic resin composition (C) including at least one kind of a thermoplastic resin (R) and fine particles (P) having a volume average particle diameter of 0.5 to 15 m and a refractive index different from that of the thermoplastic resin (R) by 0.02 or more. At least one of film surfaces satisfies formulas (1) and (2).
G.sub.L60(1),
G.sub.L35G.sub.HG.sub.L10(2)
(In the formulas (1) and (2), G.sub.L is 60 gloss (%) at 20 C., G.sub.H is 60 gloss (%) when the thermoplastic resin film is heated at a temperature 10 C. higher than a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin composition (C) for 30 minutes, then cooled to 20 C.).

The disclosed light directing article comprises a structured layer, an adhesive sealing layer, and barrier elements. The structured layer comprises multiple microstructured elements that are opposite a major surface. The adhesive sealing layer has a first region and a second region. The second region is in contact with the structured layer. The barrier element are at the first region. The first region with the barrier element and second region have sufficiently different properties to form a low refractive index layer between the adhesive sealing layer and the structured layer. The barrier element comprises a crosslinked polymeric matrix having a modulus of elasticity less than 4.4 GPa.

A method of manufacturing a fabric material with an embossed layer, and a fabric material manufactured thereby are provided. The method includes applying a composition containing a synthetic resin, an embossing resin, and an additive on one surface of the fabric sheet to form an embossed coating layer and drying the embossed coating layer. The fabric material is advantageous in that the embossed coating layer is securely retained on the fabric sheet, various designs giving an aesthetic impression, exhibiting a look of a specific texture and roughness, and having various patterns can be easily printed thereon, and decoration effects as interior and exterior house finishing goods can be enhanced with the use of the fabric material.

A black film containing a thermoplastic resin (A) that contains two or more types of dyes other than black, where a thickness T is 45 to 550 m, a total concentration C of the dyes other than black is 0.4 to 5 mass % with respect to the thermoplastic resin (A), the total concentration C of the dyes and the thickness T satisfy the following expression (1):
CT210(1) where in a L*a*b* color system measurement compliant with JIS Z 8781-4, L* (lightness) is no more than 10, an absolute value of a* is no more than 2.0, and an absolute value of b* is no more than 2.0, and a total light transmittance obtained after the black film is stretched twofold in one axial direction at a temperature higher than a glass transition temperature by 20 C. is no more than 3.0%.

A laminated glazing incorporates an electrically controllable device and the manufacture thereof including an operation of preassembly with a thin plastic strip.

A sealing member for a light guide plate which has sufficient adhesive strength with a light guide member, suppresses embedding of the light guide member into concave-shaped portions, and provides high smoothness to a lid face of the concave-shaped portions, a light guide plate using the sealing member for a light guide plate, and a lighting device or a display device using the light guide plate are provided. A sealing member for a light guide plate, which is made of one layer or more to be laminated to a face having concave portions so as to seal at least any of gas, liquid and vacuum, which has a refractive index that is different from a refractive index of a light guide member, into insides of the concave portions of the light guide member having: an emission face in which light incident from an end face is bent and outgoes to a surface direction; and the plural concave portions on the emission face and/or an opposite face that faces the emission face, wherein a layer contact with the face having the concave portions of the sealing member for a light guide plate is made of a sealing layer which contains resin composed of a repeating unit derived from urethane (meth)acrylate having a saturated cycloaliphatic group.
