A decorative panel has a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer may be transparent, the second layer is fully or partially reflective, and the third layer is partially reflective or transparent. A cavity having an opening in the shape of a design is formed within a portion of the second layer. The opening is configured to allow light to enter the decorative panel through the second layer. The light entering the decorative panel will be outputted by the third layer in a shape substantially similar to the design.

An expandable panel, constructed such that the expandable panel can at least expand in at least one direction, includes a panel having a front face and rear face bordered by side edges, end edges and a thickness dimension extending between the front and rear faces and includes discretely spaced cuts extending from the front face to the rear face or rear to front face. The cuts form bridging members between living hinges and are elongate and extend in a spaced longitudinal manner including at least one cut forming a side of the expandable panel located on one side of the cut, and at least two cuts located on a side of the expandable panel. The at least one cut on side and the other cuts on side together forming at least one pair of lines being substantially parallel, offset mirror images of each other and being intermeshed but not touching.

The present invention relates to a decorative panel, comprising a core layer provided with a decor layer, said dcor layer comprising a substrate layer provided with at least one coating, wherein within said decorative panel at least one sensor, especially a passive sensor, is located. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of such a decorative panel in furniture, in exterior walls and facades and in interior decoration.

A three dimensional visual element includes a decal or other device to simulate a crack or break within the wall on which the visual elements is mounted. The visual element also includes a functional feature, such as a light, shelf support electronic device, or the like, so that the visual element also provides some utility. In one example, a three dimensional representation of a soccer ball is provided wherein the soccer ball is surrounded by a clear plastic decal having a cracking so as to represent cracks within the wall on which the device is mounted. Within the shell of the soccer ball in this exemplary embodiment, are lighting elements which allow the device to be used as a nightlight.

The invention relates to a method for producing a color-changeable decorative surface. In order to provide a decorative surface that can be changed in a particularly simple manner in terms of its coloring by the end consumer and which is particularly cost-effective and resistant, it is provided that at least one layer of a coating agent, which enables the absorption of color particles, is applied.

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a printing subsurface for direct printing for producing a decorative panel, in particular a direct printed decorative panel without a backing layer. In addition, the present disclosure relates to a decorative panel which comprises a printing subsurface produced according to a method according to the disclosure. With the method according to the disclosure it is proposed that for forming the printing subsurface a resin composition comprising a melamine resin and/or a urea resin is applied, which at first is dried under the action of heat and subsequently is treated with UV radiation.

An electrostatic wall sticker, use thereof, process for manufacturing the same, and method for storing and transporting the same are disclosed. The electrostatic wall sticker comprises the sticker body comprising a using layer made of plastic film which comprises a first side and a second side, and an adhesive layer made of plastic film which comprises a first side and a second side. It can effectively replace traditional wall stickers. This invention has the advantages of securely mounting on any dry surface without the need of adhesive agents, leaving no mark upon removal and being highly environmentally friendly. Also, this electrostatic wall sticker possesses the properties of face-to-face and rolling storage of static electricity, which makes transportation convenient.

A method for producing a decorated wall or floor panel, comprising placing a pourable granulate carrier material between two belt-like conveyors; molding the carrier material under the influence of temperature while forming a web-like carrier; compressing the carrier; treating the carrier under the influence of temperature and pressure by use of a dual-belt press; cooling the carrier; applying a decor simulating a decorative template onto at least a portion of the carrier; and applying a protective layer onto at least a portion of the decor. A wall or floor panel that is particularly stable, adaptable and high quality. An apparatus comprising elements for performing this method. A wall or floor panel comprising a plate-shaped carrier comprising a connecting element edge profile.

Disclosed is a method for printing wood material boards. The method includes: by a digital printing process, measuring color values of the wood material boards from at least one first batch and forwarding the color values to a computer program; measuring color values of the wood material boards from at least one further batch and forwarding the color values to the computer program; processing the color values of the wood material boards from the at least one further batch in the computer program and adapting the color values of the digital print; and printing at least one side of the wood material boards by means of digital printing technology, forming a decorative layer in such a way that no color deviations occur between the printed decorations of the wood material boards.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a polyvinyl chloride-free top layer (1) for a decking element (3), the method comprising the method steps indicated below: A) Providing a base layer (4) comprising and/or consisting of plastic; B) Printing a dcor (6) on a top (5) of the base layer (4) facing a usable side (7); C) Bonding, preferably laminating, a, preferably transparent, wearing surface (8) to the printed base layer (4) to form a, preferably solid, layer composite (9); D) Embossing the layer composite (9) at least in some areas, preferably over the entire surface, with a structure (10) at least substantially synchronous with the dcor (6), the structure (10) being embossed in such a way that it is visible both on the top (11) facing the usable side (7) and at least in some areas on the bottom (12) of the layer composite (9) facing away from the usable side (7); E) Application of a surface sealing layer (17), preferably a lacquer layer, to the top (11) of the layer composite (9) facing the usable side (7); F) optionally: curing of the surface sealing layer (17), preferably the lacquer layer.
