Abstract: A molded resin product includes a design layer including a decorative layer having a first color, a shielding layer having a second color different from the first color, and a resin base layer. A cover layer formed of a polymer film is disposed close to one end of the design layer. Part of the decorative layer exposed from the shielding layer serves as an exposed region. The exposed region and part of the shielding layer constitute a pattern portion presenting a predetermined figure or character when viewed in plan through the cover layer. The rest of the shielding layer constitutes a base portion. The layer thickness of the base portion is set smaller than the layer thickness of the pattern portion in a region thereof where the shielding layer is formed.

Abstract: There are provided a glass key having a character or symbol marked in an enduring state and a marking method for creating such a glass key. A glass key has a character or a symbol marked on the surface or in the glass medium of the key top. A laser beam belonging to an infrared band having a wavelength of about 1100 nm or below, visible light band, or ultraviolet light band is intermittently applied while focused on the surface of the transparent glass key top or inside of the key top including the upper position, intermediate position, lower position, or other desired position, so that a plenty of fine cracks are formed as a set to represent a character or a symbol.

Abstract: As a marking laser beam, a laser beam of wavelength 532 nm obtained by extracting by extracting second higher harmonic of the Nd:YAG laser or a laser beam of wavelength 355 nm obtained by extracting third higher harmonic of the Nd:YAG laser is used on a metal film formed on a plastic key top of a mobile telephone or the like, so that the metal film portion subjected to the beam is completely removed or only the surface portion of the metal film subjected to the beam is removed, thereby forming a planar set of very small concave points. Thus, it is possible to obtain a key unit having a metal film on which a character or symbol is directly marked.
