The present application relates to a decoration member including a substrate layer having a convex structure or a concave structure arranged two-dimensionally, and a method for preparing the decoration member.

A decorative member including: a color developing layer including a light reflective layer and a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer; and a substrate provided on one surface of the color developing layer. The light absorbing layer includes a copper oxynitride (Cu.sub.aO.sub.bN.sub.c).

A decorative member including: a color developing layer including a light reflective layer and a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer; and a substrate provided on one surface of the color developing layer. The light absorbing layer includes a copper oxynitride (Cu.sub.aO.sub.bN.sub.c).

A pseudo etching decoration method and a pseudo etching decoration product in which decoration that appears as if a decoration target is etched can be provided to the decoration target without actually performing etching are provided. The pseudo etching decoration method includes: a process (S51) of providing a matte-tone coating to the decoration target; and a process (S52) of forming a gloss-tone film of clear ink on part of the surface of the decoration target by providing gloss-tone printing with the clear ink by UV ink-jet printing on part of the matte-tone coating provided to the decoration target in the process at S51.

The present invention relates to a piece, in particular for jewellery or timepieces, made of a material comprising a synthetic matrix (2) loaded with particles (3) of a precious or semi-precious stone, said particles (3) having a particle size d90 comprised between 50 m and 2 mm, preferably between 100 m and 1 mm, and, more preferably between 150 m and 500 m.

A decoration element including: a color developing layer including a light reflective layer and a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer; and a substrate provided on a surface of the color developing layer. The substrate comprises a pattern layer, and the light absorbing layer comprises an aluminum oxynitride (Al.sub.aO.sub.bN.sub.c).

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.
