One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to bladders that incorporate a multi-layer optical film that impart a structural color to the bladder. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the bladders having a multi-layer optical film, and methods for making articles and bladders having a multi-layer optical film.

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The articles incorporate a primer layer having a percent transmittance of about 40% or less in conjunction with an optical element. The optical element and primer layer impart a structural color to the article.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide optical element transfer structures that include an optical element releasably coupled with a transfer medium and methods of making and using the optical element transfer structures. The optical element transfer structures can be used to dispose an optical element onto an article, whereby the optical element imparts a structural color to the article.

In example aspects, materials with different colors and/or one or more different characteristics are used for footwear manufacturing. In some aspects, the colors and/or the one or more characteristics of the materials may be obscured with a concealing layer. In other aspects, the concealing layer may include a structural-color element.

A sheet member includes a transmissive member, a white member, and a phosphorescent part. The transmissive member is a sheet-shaped member with a transmissive property. The white member is a white sheet-shaped member arranged so as to overlap the transmissive member. The phosphorescent part is provided between the transmissive member and the white member and contains a phosphorescent material.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to components having an optical element that imparts structural color to the component or article. The present disclosure is also directed to articles of manufacture including the component having an optical element, and methods for making components and articles having an optical element that imparts structural color.

The present disclosure is directed to components of articles that include an optical element that imparts structural color to the component. The present disclosure is also directed to methods of making the components including the optical element, and methods of using the components such as to make an article of manufacture.

A transparent heat-shielding/heat-insulating member having a transparent screen function of the present invention includes: an infrared reflective layer and an optical adjustment protective layer in this order from a transparent base substrate side; and a light diffusing layer on a surface of the transparent base substrate that is opposite to the surface on which the infrared reflective layer is formed or between the transparent base substrate and the infrared reflective layer. The optical adjustment protective layer includes at least a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer in this order from the infrared reflective layer side. The transparent heat-shielding/heat-insulating member has a visible light reflectance of 12% or more and 30% or less, a haze value of 5% or more and 35% or less, a shading coefficient of 0.69 or less, and a normal emissivity of 0.22 or less.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to bladders that incorporate a multi-layer optical film that impart a structural color to the bladder. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the bladders having a multi-layer optical film, and methods for making articles and bladders having a multi-layer optical film.
