A resin molded article is equipped with a laminated body in which a core material layer, a cushion layer, and a skin layer are included and laminated. In this configuration, a lowermost layer and a peripheral edge portion of the laminated body are covered by a resin covering layer, and only the upper surface of the skin layer is exposed and serves as a design surface. Moreover, the peripheral edge portion of the laminated body is embedded in an interior part of the resin covering layer.

A decorative sheet includes a design layer, a primer layer and a surface protective layer formed by cross-linking and curing an ionizing radiation curable resin composition in this order on a base material. A surface of the surface protective layer is smooth. A ten point average roughness RzJIS on a rear face of the decorative sheet and a thickness T of the base material satisfies the following equation (I); and an arithmetic average roughness Ra on the rear face and a thickness T of the base material satisfies the following equation (II):
T×0.30≥RzJIS  (I)
T×0.20≥Ra≥T×0.005  (II)
Or an arithmetic average roughness Ra on a rear face of the decorative sheet is 1.0 to 10.0 μm. A decorated resin molded article is produced by integrating the decorative sheet with an outer surface of a resin molded article at the same time as injection molding.

A method for manufacturing an electromechanical structure, including producing conductors on a flat film; estimating a strain a plurality of locations of the flat film will undergo during formation thereof into a three-dimensional film; attaching electronic elements on the flat film at selected locations of the plurality of locations of the flat film, wherein the estimated strain of the selected locations of the plurality of locations is less than the estimated strain in other locations of the plurality of locations; forming the flat film into the three-dimensional film; and injection molding material on the three-dimensional film.
