  • Patent number: 11220129
    Abstract: 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.

The camouflage pattern has a short wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance pattern and contains first, second, and third reflectance zones. Each reflectance zone has an upper and lower reflectance zone boundary and the difference between the upper and lower first reflectance zone boundaries is approximately 10 percentage points. The difference between the first and second zone and the second and third zone is approximately 10 percentage points. At essentially all wavelengths within the SWIR portion of the spectrum, the first color falls within the first zone boundaries, the second color falls within the second zone boundaries, and the third color falls within the third zone boundaries.
