A decorative film for insert molding includes a gravure-printed graphic layer and a light-transmissive patterned layer and has high dimensional accuracy and delicate and rich tone expression. A multilayer film includes first and second layers containing an acrylic-based resin, and a polycarbonate resin layer located between the first and second layers and containing a polycarbonate-based resin. The multilayer film is transmissive to visible light. A first gravure print layer is located on a first main surface of the multilayer film, includes a first graphic layer, and is transmissive. A backer film contains a polycarbonate-based resin and is transmissive. The first graphic layer includes a first image at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional shape of a decorative film formed in the three-dimensional shape. A patterned layer includes a pattern patterned to allow visible light to pass through the first image at the predetermined position in the three-dimensional shape.

A method of manufacturing a decorated molding article includes: forming an all-in-one coating on a substrate and performing a curing step, thereby forming a composite layer structure with a protective effect, a color effect, and a bonding effect. Compared with the printing layer in the conventional In Mold Label (IML) and InSert molding (INS) that is made by a plurality of anti-impact and bonding processes, the composite layer structure of the embodiment can form a molded film with better physical properties (e.g., higher hardness, better protection effect, etc.) after the blister molding process. Therefore, the molded film of the embodiment can be applied to a laser engraving process to form a variety of light-transmitting decorative molded products. Further, the present disclosure further forms a protective layer locally in the grooves formed after the laser engraving process, so as to protect the texture after the laser engraving process from damage.

An illuminable image includes a substrate, a transparent light directing channel printed on the substrate, and an image printed over at least a portion of the printed transparent light directing channel.

A security document with unidirectional visual illumination is disclosed. A security feature is positioned within the document and not visible in normal ambient lighting conditions but becomes visible under specialized lighting conditions, for example in the presence of ultraviolet light. The security feature is constructible such that it is visible only from a single side of the security document, with the side being predeterminable regardless of the orientation of the specialized light.

Surface elements comprising a decorative upper layer and a supporting core are disclosed. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can comprise a digitally applied wood grain pattern made up of at least four colors, said pattern being applied to an underlying white ground coating provided on said supporting core, said pattern comprising at least one of visually simulated knots, cracks, flaws and grain. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can further comprise an at least partly translucent wear layer arranged over said pattern, said wear layer consisting of a cured substance comprising silicon oxide. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can further be provided with a surface structure increasing the realism of said wood grain pattern, being directed in accordance with the direction of said pattern and being in the form of narrow elongated recesses simulating the pores of wood.

A method for producing a coating on a surface of a coated or uncoated spectacle lens includes: applying a masking on a partial region of the surface of the coated or uncoated spectacle lens, applying at least one layer on the surface, and removing the masking and the at least one layer applied on the masking from the partial region of the surface. The masking is applied with a matrix printing method. A spectacle lens produced by the method is also disclosed.
