A method for decorative molding capable of reducing a preparation time at the time of replacing a mold and expecting improvement in positioning accuracy of a decorative pattern in a molded article includes supplying a film on which a decorative pattern is formed between a first mold and a second mold in a mold open state of a mold, imaging a mold-side alignment mark recorded in the mold and a film-side alignment mark recorded in the film by a camera, positioning the film with respect to the mold by moving the film so that the film-side alignment mark comes close to the mold-side alignment mark, injecting resin into the mold in a mold closed state in which the film is sandwiched between the first mold and the second mold and cooling the resin to form a molded article and opening the mold and taking out the molded article in which the decorative pattern of the film is transferred to the surface.

The present invention relates to: an ink-receiving layer composition for a decorative member, the composition comprising an acrylic emulsion, a metal salt, and organic particles or inorganic particles; a decorative member comprising a base layer, a printing layer formed on the base layer, and an ink-receiving layer disposed between the base layer and the printing layer and formed of a composition comprising an acrylic emulsion, a metal salt, and organic particles or inorganic particles; and a method for manufacturing a decorative member, the method comprising a step for preparing a base layer in a flat state, a step for coating a composition comprising an acrylic emulsion, a metal salt, and organic particles or inorganic particles on the base layer, a step for drying or UV curing the coated composition to form an ink-receiving layer, and a step for forming a printing layer on the ink-receiving layer.

A system and method for installing a graphic design on a flooring surface, where a vinyl decal displaying the graphic design is applied to a flooring surface that has been coated with multiple layers of sealer, and where after application of the vinyl decal to the sealed floor, one or more additional layers of sealer are applied to the floor, covering the vinyl decal and the areas surrounding the vinyl decal, and finally one or more layers of floor finish are applied to the surface to result in a finished floor displaying the graphic design. Application of the vinyl decal may vary depending on characteristics of the graphic design, with some applications using a specially designed applicator device, some applications using a wet application method, and other applications using a hinged application method.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color.

A film structure, a method for manufacturing the film structure, a shell, and an electronic device are disclosed. The film structure includes a first film assembly and a second film assembly. The first film assembly includes a first film and a texture layer stacked sequentially. The second film assembly includes a second film and a ribbon unit disposed on the second film. The second film assembly is laminated on the first film assembly. The ribbon unit is located adjacent to the first film, and an orthographic projection of the ribbon unit projected on a plane on which the texture layer is located falls in the texture layer.
