    Abstract: In a decorative sheet according to the present invention, a design layer has a light passing area in which light passing through a transparent sheet is caused to pass through by a plurality of micro holes. Each of the plurality of micro holes includes a first slit and a second slit on which ink or a deposition film is not put. In each of the micro holes, the first slit and the second slit cross each other. Thus, visibility of a secondary object displayed by passing light is improved, while a reduction in quality of a primary object displayed mainly when light is not caused to pass through is prevented.

  • Patent number: 11762517
    Abstract: A touch panel includes: first electrodes disposed in parallel at a position corresponding to a viewing area of a panel member and have a capacitance changing according to a proximity of an object to be detected; second electrodes that intersect with the first electrodes, are disposed in parallel, and similarly change in capacitance; third electrodes disposed in parallel between the first or second electrodes and have electrical resistances changing according to posture and temperature; and fourth electrodes extending along the respective third electrodes and similarly change in electrical resistance. A resistance change rate of the fourth electrodes due to temperature is the same as for the third electrodes. The resistance change rate of the fourth electrodes due to the posture change is 90% or less than for the third electrodes due to the posture change. This allows a pressing force to be accurately measured.

  • Publication number: 20230278274
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a preform layered body and a layered container produced by biaxial stretch-blow forming of the layered body. In this preform layered body, an RFID tag has been inserted between an inner-layer-use mouth part and an outer-layer-use mouth part that are to remain unaltered, with no biaxial stretch-blow forming performed thereon, as a container mouth part for a layered container. Since the container mouth part does not become exposed to the high temperature and high pressure for stretch-blow forming purposes, abuses to the RFID tag, such as damage, breakage, and deformation, which arise from the heating, pressurization, and stretching during the stretch-blow forming, can be avoided reliably. In addition, labor-saving and counterfeit prevention effect can be anticipated by causing the RFID tag to hold product information.
