In a resin decorative part, a carbon decorative panel includes a clear decoration having a body transmitting light and including a carbon-toned irregular surface provided on the body and having a carbon-toned pattern formed with protrusions and depressions. The carbon-toned irregular surface has a plurality of unit patterns that constitute a weave of pseudo carbon fiber bundles presenting carbon fiber bundles in a pseudo manner, as the protrusions and depressions that form the carbon-toned pattern. The unit patterns each have a top portion positioned at the center in the extending direction of the pseudo carbon fiber bundle. A plurality of unit patterns include at least two kinds of unit patterns with different top portion inclinations, where the top portion inclination is the inclination of the long axis along the long side direction of the top portion relative to the reference line along the extending direction.

A plurality of unit patterns each have a top portion positioned at the center in the extending direction of the pseudo carbon fiber bundle and a pair of curved portions positioned on both sides of the top portion in the extending direction and formed in a curved shape. The curvature of a pair of curved portions in the section along the extending direction of a pair of curved portions is greater on the center portion side than on the end portion side in the crossing direction that crosses the extending direction.

A carbon decorative panel includes a clear decoration body and a carbon color layer. The clear decoration body has a main body 10a transmitting light and includes a carbon-toned irregular surface provided on the opposite side to the viewer side of the main body and having a carbon-toned pattern formed with protrusions and depressions. The carbon color layer is laminated on the carbon-toned irregular surface, includes a reflective surface reflecting incident light transmitted through the clear decoration body, and is colored in a carbon color.

A method for printing on at least partially transparent containers, wherein, in a first printing step, a first printing image is printed onto the container by the application of at least one printing ink, and wherein, in a second printing step, a second printing image is printed onto the container by the application of at least one printing ink, wherein the printing images are printed at least partially covering one another, and specifically in such a way that ink layers are applied in a temporal offset sequence onto the container, wherein a first ink layer is allocated to the first printing image and a second ink layer is allocated to the second printing image, and that between the first and second printing image a reflection layer is at least partially provided, by means of which the printing images are at least partially optically separated from one another.

A sparkling fabric includes: a fabric substrate; and a tri-layer adhered to the fabric substrate. The tri-layer includes: an adhesive layer that adheres the tri-layer to the fabric substrate; an exposed design layer; and a metal plating layer between the exposed design layer and the adhesive layer. The tri-layer is distributed as a plurality of separable and identifiable tri-layer pieces across the fabric substrate such that the distribution of tri-layer pieces has a density on the order of 15-25 pieces per centimeter squared (pcs/cm2) and a size of a piece is less than 1 millimeter (mm).

Methods and apparatus provide for improved visual features on a visible element of an article, such as a consumer electronic device.

A method for manufacturing an external component of a watch, of a fashion item or of a jewellery item, wherein the external component includes depositing an opaque base layer on all or part of the surface of an inner face of a substrate made of a transparent material, localised ablation of the base layer by laser machining, so as to form at least one pocket the bottom of which has a diffraction grating.

A security device includes an array of lenses and a plurality of first and second segments disposed under the array of lenses. At a first viewing angle, the array of lenses presents a first image for viewing without presenting the second image for viewing, and at a second viewing angle different from the first viewing angle, the array of lenses presents for viewing the second image without presenting the first image for viewing. At least one first or second segment can include one or more microstructures or one or more nanostructures configured to produce one or more colors for the first or second image.

The present invention relates to a decoration sheet to be applied to an exterior material for electric home appliances or electronic devices. The decoration sheet includes a pattern layer having lenticular lenses arranged in multiple rows, wherein at least one of the multiple rows has one or more discontinuous lens sections in which the lenticular lens is not continuous, thereby reducing poor visibility and enhancing productivity; and the discontinuous lens sections can be arranged to implement a character, a pattern, or the like, thereby expressing a sense of pattern. Further, the decoration sheet has an adhesive layer formed on the other surface thereof and thus can function to prevent the scattering of a surface of glass or the like onto which the decoration sheet is attached.
