Disclosed herein is a pop-up or three-dimensional gloss card including a substantially flat gloss layer having at least one color chip with a predetermined gloss finish, and a top layer defining at least one window. The top layer is positioned on top of the gloss layer so that the at least one color chip is visible through the at least one window. The gloss card also has an activator that reversibly bends the gloss layer so that the at least one color chip protrudes through the at least one window to exhibit the gloss finish of the color chip.

The present invention relates to a gravure printing process for the production of a virtual three-dimensional pattern in a coating comprising flake-form effect pigments on a print substrate, to a coating produced in this way, and to the use thereof.

Techniques for controlling optical behavior of a multi-view display apparatus comprising a first layer comprising first optical elements and a second layer comprising second optical elements. The techniques include obtaining a plurality of scene views; obtaining information specifying a model of the multi-view display apparatus; obtaining information specifying at least one blurring transformation; and generating actuation signals for controlling the multi-view display apparatus to concurrently display a plurality of display views corresponding to the plurality of scene views, the actuation signals comprising first actuation signals for controlling the first optical elements and second actuation signals for controlling the second optical elements, the generating comprising: generating the first actuation signals and the second actuation signals based, at least in part, on the plurality of scene views, the information specifying the model of the multi-view display apparatus, and the information specifying the at least one blurring transformation.

A decorative material that has higher scratch resistance while preventing defects generated during lamination of a gloss-adjusting layer. In a decorative material according to an embodiment of the present invention, a resin component that constitutes a first gloss-adjusting layer is a mixture of a urethane-based thermosetting resin having a polyol and an isocyanate, and an ionizing radiation-curable resin having an acrylic group or a methacrylic group; and the urethane-based thermosetting resin is contained in an amount within a range of 3 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the ionizing radiation-curable resin.

Printed matter that includes a light-transmissive substrate, a laminated clear layer, and a light adjustment layer. The laminated clear layer is disposed above a main surface of the substrate, and is composed of clear element layers that are light-transmissive. The light adjustment layer has a function of adjusting an amount of light transmitted therethrough and is disposed on the laminated clear layer and/or interposed between a plurality of the clear element layers. The adjustment layer includes light reflective particles and covers a portion of a surface of a layer thereunder. Each of the light reflective particles is granular and has a light reflective surface. The light adjustment layer, in terms of surface area ratio in plan view, covers from 2% to 50% of the surface of the layer thereunder.

Methods and apparatus provide for an improved visual and optionally tactile features on a visible element of an article, such as a consumer electronic device (e.g., a mobile electronic device, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet, a phablet, a notebook computer, a laptop, etc.).

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a luminaire comprises a plurality of waveguides, a light source arranged to direct light into the plurality of waveguides, and a plurality of extraction feature patterns. The luminaire contemplated by the present disclosure is arranged with the plurality of waveguides are aligned such that an extraction feature pattern extracts light out of a first waveguide of the plurality of waveguides and a second extraction feature pattern extracts light out of a second waveguide of the plurality of waveguides. Further, in accordance with this aspect, the light extracted out of the first waveguide is directed through the second waveguide to develop an appearance of depth.
