A decorative panel has a substrate including a light-transmissive material, and a light-blocking layer provided along one side surface of the substrate. The light-blocking layer is including a light-blocking material. Further, an opening through which light from the substrate side passes is formed in the light-blocking layer. A thickness dimension of the light-blocking layer in a direction facing the substrate is set to be less than or equal to 10 μm. Further, the decorative panel has a second coated layer that is provided on the light-blocking layer. The second coated layer is including a light-transmissive material, and covers the light-blocking layer in a state in which a portion of the second coated layer is disposed within the opening.

An apparatus includes a first display, an indicium, and a second display. The second display can include a light-generating source deposited on a substrate. The second display illuminates the indicium and the second display has a thickness of less than 0.25 millimeters. The apparatus also includes one or more controllers communicatively coupled to the first display and the second display and configured to control states of the first display and the second display.

A molded component displays an optical image that is visible from a front by allowing light that is emitted from a light source that is disposed at a back to pass therethrough. The molded component includes a light-shielding resin member that has an optical transmission hole that has a shape depending on the optical image in a plan view, and a transparent resin member that is optically transparent and that is stacked on a surface of the light-shielding resin member that faces the front such that the transparent resin member covers at least the optical transmission hole. The transparent resin member includes a peripheral portion that has a constant thickness, and a thin portion that is disposed inside the peripheral portion and that is thinner than the peripheral portion.

A double walled illuminated vessel for displaying indicia comprising an outer sleeve, an inner liner, a lens, a transparent or translucent connection ring, a base and an illumination module adapted to be inserted into the base whereby the base and connection ring are connected to each other creating a base illumination unit. Light from the illumination module passes through the hollow space between the outer sleeve and the inner liner such that the lens bearing indicia is illuminated thus prominently displaying any desired graphic, logo, design, trademark, symbol, letter, number or any other indicia. The connection ring transmits and diffuses light through the inner liner and upper rim as well as the sidewall of the connection ring. The base illumination unit is removable from the outer sleeve and can be used as an independent light source by a user. Additionally, the illumination module is rechargeable in one embodiment and can provide an adequate charge to a mobile device. Further embodiments provided for a removable lens or lens unit.

An information display device attachable to a structure includes a display panel and a surface member. The display panel has a display surface and is configured to display information on the display surface. The surface member is a surface member disposed on a display surface side of the display panel, and has a larger surface area than the display panel. When the display panel is turned on, only the information displayed on the display surface of the display panel becomes visible through the surface member.

A water treatment system having a base assembly and a treatment assembly. The treatment assembly of the system may be configured to filter particulates from water. The base assembly may include a UV reactor operable to disinfect water for consumption.

Embodiments are directed to an electronic device having a hidden or concealable input region. In one aspect, an embodiment includes an enclosure having a wall that defines an input region having an array of microperforations. A light source may be positioned within a volume defined by the enclosure and configured to propagate light through the array of microperforations. A sensing element may be coupled with the wall and configured to detect input received within the input region. The array of microperforations are configured to be visually imperceptible when not illuminated by the light source. When illuminated by the light source, the array of microperforations may display a symbol.
