A method for decorating a translucent container including cleaning an exterior surface of the container and applying a silver layer to the exterior surface followed by a black layer applied over the silver layer. Portions of the silver and black layers are selectively removed to form one or more shapes using a laser. A translucent protective layer is applied over the entire exterior of the container.

A system includes a view screen with polarized output. The view screen may include a projected view screen or writing-surface view screen. A window capable of blocking the polarized output at least in part cloaks the view screen to frustrate viewing of the view screen through the window. In some cases, the window includes an array of panels capable of blocking multiple polarizations. The array may disrupt multiple different polarized view screen outputs while maintaining transparency to unpolarized light. In some cases, the window capable of blocking polarized output may be paired with view screen cover that converts view screen output in an unblocked polarization to one of the one or more polarizations blocked by the window.

The present disclosure provides an artware with a water stirring function and a projection function. The artware includes a housing structure, a control circuit board including a switch, a magnetic rotating unit controlled by the control circuit board, and a projection unit controlled by the control circuit board. The control circuit board, the magnetic rotating unit, and the projection unit are arranged in the hosing structure.

Printed matter that includes a light-transmissive substrate, a laminated clear layer, and a light adjustment layer. The laminated clear layer is disposed above a main surface of the substrate, and is composed of clear element layers that are light-transmissive. The light adjustment layer has a function of adjusting an amount of light transmitted therethrough and is disposed on the laminated clear layer and/or interposed between a plurality of the clear element layers. The adjustment layer includes light reflective particles and covers a portion of a surface of a layer thereunder. Each of the light reflective particles is granular and has a light reflective surface. The light adjustment layer, in terms of surface area ratio in plan view, covers from 2% to 50% of the surface of the layer thereunder.

Methods and apparatus provide for an improved visual and optionally tactile features on a visible element of an article, such as a consumer electronic device (e.g., a mobile electronic device, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet, a phablet, a notebook computer, a laptop, etc.).

Disclosed is a decorative object including an upper glass, a lower glass, a recessed pattern formed in the lower glass and facing the upper glass, a liquid filling the recessed pattern, the refractive index of the liquid being equal to that of the lower glass or differing from that of the lower glass by at most 10 %, and solid elements which can move in the liquid.

A method is presented for producing an optically transmissive layered structure for use as a display protector for electronic devices. The method comprises printing an ink pattern on a base layer, where said base layer is substantially optically transparent, and the base layer and ink are configured so that the ink reflects light with high incidence angle and transmits light with low incidence angle, when in use, thus displaying the pattern in the absence of light with high intensity and low incidence angle, the pattern becoming substantially undetectable otherwise.

In this method for manufacturing a vehicle part, the following steps are implemented, applying a paint coat to a transparent part, applying a first varnish coat to the paint coat, irradiating the paint coat and the first varnish coat in part with laser radiation so as to etch the paint coat and the first varnish coat, applying a transparent primer coat to the first varnish coat, and applying a second varnish coat to the transparent primer coat.
