Abstract: A decorative member includes: a transparent resin layer provided on a rear surface thereof with a general portion, a stepped portion recessed or protrudingly provided with respect to the general portion, and an inclination portion provided between the stepped portion and the general portion; and a decorative layer provided on the rear surface, wherein: an inclination angle of the inclination portion with respect to a normal line of the general portion is equal to or more than 25° and is equal to or less than 40°; a width of the inclination portion is large beyond 0.38 mm and is equal to or less than 1 mm; and the decorative layer includes: a first layer that covers the stepped portion of the rear surface; and a second layer that covers a part of the rear surface, which is not covered by at least the first layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a metallic coating having a sheen and having a discontinuous structure at high productivity and low cost by using sputtering. A resin product includes a resin base material, and a metallic coating having a sheen and a discontinuous structure that is deposited on the resin base material so as to include a portion in which a high-formation metal that relatively readily forms a discontinuous structure when using vacuum vapor deposition is sputtered, and thereafter, a low-formation metal that does not relatively readily form a discontinuous structure when using vacuum vapor deposition is sputtered. The high-formation metal and the low-formation metal are selected from at least two species of metals whose crystal structures are identical and whose lattice constant difference is within 10%.

Abstract: In a memory card having circuit elements such as a semiconductor device and transmitting/receiving device mounted on a synthetic resin substrate shaped like a flat plate, the circuit elements are disposed and sealed in the synthetic resin substrate, and both surfaces of the substrate are covered with synthetic resin sheet members. This achieves a memory card, which is resistant to bending and also survives harsh operating environment. Also provided are a memory card, which can be easily developed into a multi-function card such as an ID card at low cost, and its manufacturing method.
