A transfer sheet is configured to include a base sheet; a releasable layer laminated on the base sheet, containing an ultraviolet curing resin, and including minute irregularities on at least part of a surface opposite to a surface in contact with the base sheet; a peeling layer laminated entirely on the releasable layer; and a single color solid print layer laminated in a section on the peeling layer corresponding at least to a region where the minute irregularities of the releasable layer are formed. A maximum width W of a recessed portion of the minute irregularities and a depth D of the recessed portion of the minute irregularities satisfy 10≤W/D≤50, W≤100 μm and 2 μm≤D≤10 μm. At least one of the number of recessed portions per unit area and the depth of the recessed portion changes stepwise.

An object of the present invention is to provide, for use in living environments, a decorative sheet that has excellent, easy cleanability and excellent impact resistance and from which dirt due to the adherence of a daily used contaminant, such as fine particle powder, that is not easy to clean is easily removed. The present invention provides a decorative sheet having a surface-protecting layer on the uppermost surface thereof, wherein (1) Ra(i)/Ra(ii) is 0.62 or more and 1.63 or less, the Ra(i)/Ra(ii) being calculated using an arithmetic average roughness Ra(i) measured along an arbitrary direction on the surface of the surface-protecting layer, and an arithmetic average roughness Ra(ii) measured along the perpendicular direction to the arbitrary direction.

The inventions relates to a method for producing a decorative workpiece with a structured surface comprising the following steps: (B) applying a first liquid lacquer having a coarse structuring over the entire surface, wherein a difference in thickness between thicker regions and thinner regions is at least 50 μm, in particular at least 100 μm; (E) applying a second liquid, at least partially transparent lacquer for producing a fine structuring in some regions. Furthermore, an apparatus for performing the method and a workpiece produced by the method are claimed.

Provided are an intermediate transfer medium and the like with which a glossy image can be easily formed and which can be used also for a transparent transfer receiving article.

In an intermediate transfer medium comprising at least a substrate and a transfer part provided releasably on one face of the substrate, the transfer part has a layered structure comprising at least an image forming layer that is located on the outermost surface on the opposite side to the substrate and on which an image is to be formed, and a gloss layer that is located closer to the substrate side than the image forming layer, and the transfer part has a maximum transmittance in the wavelength region of 380 nm to 780 nm of 40% or less.

A processing method for the dazzling colored base layer includes: outputting first materials and second materials alternately, a refractive index of the first materials being different from a refractive index of the second materials; obtaining a film by carrying out tape casting on the first materials and the second materials that are alternately arranged; and obtaining, by extending the film, the dazzling colored base layer having first material layers and second material layers that are alternately arranged, a thickness of the dazzling colored base layer being less than a thickness of the film.

A decorative material includes a base material, a first cover layer, and a second cover layer. The first cover layer is laminated on the base material and covers the base material. The first cover layer is made of opaque synthesis resin. The second cover layer is laminated on the first cover layer and covers the first cover layer. The second cover layer is made of chromatic and transparent synthesis resin. The first cover layer contains first coloring pigment and bright pigment. The first coloring pigment has no luster. The bright pigment has luster. The second cover layer contains second coloring pigment. The second coloring pigment has no luster.

The present disclosure relates to a decoration element comprising a color developing layer comprising a light reflective layer, and a light absorbing layer provided on the light reflective layer; and an electrochromic device provided on one surface of the color developing layer.
