A light-emitting carpet or light-emitting trim panel that employs a translucent polymer sheet that has a protective layer and a plurality of cavities configured to accept a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged to generate light where the LEDs are configured to align and project into the polymeric sheet cavities.

A method for producing a water-tight, water-vapour-permeable segment, having a three-dimensional contour, for a shoe shaft, an item of clothing or a rucksack or for producing a shoe shaft, an item of clothing or a rucksack, the segment being free of connection points in its surface, and the method for producing the segment being a thermoforming process in which the two-dimensional flat structure obtained is completely laminated in its entirety, the segment being free of connection points in its surface. Also, a water-tight, water-vapour-permeable segment of a three-dimensional functional laminate for introduction into a shoe or shoe shaft, an item of clothing or a rucksack, the segment being dimensionally stable under its own weight, of a single piece and free of connection points in its surface.

To provide a flexible conductive base member and a multilayer conductive base member including the same, having no problem of failing to function as a contact and causing a variation in height between contacts.

There are a covered region 10 covered with a noble metal and a non-covered region 20 not circumferentially covered with a noble metal on a surface of a reticulated fibrous body 50. The covered region 10 is located at an intersection 7 of fibers 5 of the reticulated fibrous body 50, and the intersections 7 are connected to each other. The non-covered region 20 is located between the intersections 7 of the fibers 5 of the reticulated fibrous body 50.

Provided is a display device using an adhesion control layer, which has excellent scratch-resistance, easily discharges air bubbles, allows proper attachment and detachment, and is stably attached regardless of whether a surface is flat or curved. The device comprises: an adhesive member; an adherend member to which the adhesive member is attached; a detachable layer disposed on one of the adhesive member and the adherend member; and an adhesion control layer to which the detachable layer is detachably attached and which is disposed on one of the adhesive member and the adherend member. The adhesion control layer is disposed on one surface of one of the adhesive member and the adherend member and includes a flat layer covering the whole of the surface and a pattern layer disposed on the flat layer, and the flat layer and the pattern layer have different adhesive forces with respect to the detachable layer.
