A floor panel has two pairs of opposite edges so at least at one pair of opposite edges the floor panel is provided with coupling parts formed in one piece with a substrate of the floor panel. A relief is provided at least with a plurality of embossments in a synthetic transparent material of a top layer of the floor panel. The embossments are performed deeper than the synthetic transparent material, and the printed decor and an underlying layer of the substrate are embossed. The underside of the substrate is undeformed.

A transfer method for expanding pitches of devices includes: providing a first substrate with micro devices having the pitches being a predetermined value in a first direction and a second direction; transferring the micro devices to a first roller by contacting it with the micro devices, wherein a pitch of contact line portions on the first roller is N times of the predetermined value; transferring the micro devices on the first roller to a second substrate; rotating the second substrate by 90 degrees; transferring the micro devices to a second roller by rolling the second roller to contact the micro devices; and then transferring the micro devices to a third substrate to expand the pitch of the micro devices in both the first and the second directions. The portions in contact with the micro devices all have adhesive layers with different adhesion operation windows.

A sign manufacturing system includes a printing base, a printing panel with a top layer, pressure sensitive adhesive and a transparent bottom layer, a bridge component, a sliding assembly, including an assembly body, a cutting laser, a liquid ejection unit, a curing laser, and a control unit, such that the cutting laser cuts out characters in the top layer without affecting the bottom layer, and such that the liquid ejection unit deposits spherical domes of printing fluid on exposed surface of the transparent bottom layer to form a braille text.

A laminate with a decorative layer over an electrical functional layer such as a touch sensor panel, which provides for example a touchpad functionality, as well as a production method for it. It is possible for the first time to perform an individualization of prefabricated laminates with functionality such as touch functionality of a touch sensor in an uncomplicated manner. This is achieved by supplementing a functional laminate with a laser protective layer between the electrical functional layer and a decorative layer which can be lasered and written on with simple measures.

An example apparatus includes a translucent hollow body, the hollow body having an inner surface and an outer surface. The example apparatus further includes a paint layer disposed on the outer surface of the translucent hollow body. The paint layer substantially covers the outer surface of the translucent hollow body with paint, the paint layer including exposed regions having paint removed to expose the outer surface of the translucent body. At least one exposed region forms a decorative shape.

A floor panel has a rectangular shape and an upper surface. The floor panel includes a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer is made on the basis of synthetic material extending over a substantial part of the upper surface. The top layer includes a printed decor extending over a substantial part of the upper surface. The substrate has at least two opposite edges, with the edges being provided with coupling parts. The upper surface, at one or more edges, shows a sloping edge portion sloping down to the respective edge. The sloping edge portion, viewed according to a cross-section transverse to the respective edge, has a shape and/or angle varying in function of the longitudinal direction of the respective edge.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a transfer lamination process and apparatus that reduces substrate warpage. In some embodiments, the transfer lamination process is performed using a transfer lamination device, which includes a transfer unit, a substrate rotator, and a transfer ribbon having a carrier layer and a transfer layer attached to the carrier layer. In some embodiments of the transfer lamination process, a transfer section of the transfer layer is transferred from the carrier layer to a first surface of a substrate using the transfer unit. In some embodiments of this transferring step, the transfer section is heated and pressed against the first surface of the substrate using the transfer unit, and the carrier layer is detached from the transfer section. The substrate is then inverted using the substrate rotator. At least a portion of a second surface of the substrate that is opposite the first surface is then heated using the transfer unit without transferring the transfer layer to the portion of the second surface.

A sign manufacturing system includes a printing base, a printing panel with a top layer, pressure sensitive adhesive and a transparent bottom layer, a bridge component, a sliding assembly, including an assembly body, a cutting laser, a liquid ejection unit, a curing laser, and a control unit, such that the cutting laser cuts out characters in the top layer without affecting the bottom layer, and such that the liquid ejection unit deposits spherical domes of printing fluid on exposed surface of the transparent bottom layer to form a braille text.

A building panel, including a core, a sublayer arranged above the core, where the sublayer includes at least one paper sheet. The building panel further includes a wood veneer layer arranged above the sublayer. The wood veneer layer includes at least one open structure. The building panel has a bevel arranged at least partly along at least one side portion. A first section of the sublayer is at least partly exposed in said bevel, where a second section of the sublayer is at least partly exposed in said at least one open structure of the wood veneer layer, and where the colour of said first section differs from the colour of said second section.

A laser engraving structure with three-dimensional effect formed on a plane, includes a substrate and at least one stacking sheets having a color different from a color of the substrate and attached on a processing surface of the substrate in order to form a multi-layered composite wooden material. In addition, the laser engraving technique can be utilized to the stacking surface of the composite wooden board in order to engrave out a desired pattern. Accordingly, a three-dimensional visual effect with great colors at different engraving depths can be achieved along with a gradient effect of different gray scale can be generated among layers of colors such that the texture is of rich colors and vividness.
