  • Publication number: 20230395000
    Abstract: A first groove is formed in a first main surface of a light guide member. A decorative layer is molded with the light guide member and provided on a second main surface of the light guide member. The decorative layer includes a first light-emitting portion that radiates the visible light emitted from a first light-emitting element from the light guide member and a second light-emitting portion that radiates the visible light emitted from the second light-emitting element from the light guide member. The first light absorbing member is disposed on a first groove bottom of the first groove, and has an absorptivity of visible light, which is higher than that of the light guide member. The first groove is positioned to block an optical path from the first light-emitting element toward a second region and an optical path from the second light-emitting element toward a first region.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11697234
    Abstract: Provided is a decorative sheet in which a graphic is less deteriorated even after injection molding. First and second graphic layers contain a plurality of interference pigments that emit respective interference lights having respective colors in a first direction in first and second binders to exhibit first and second mixed colors. An optical functional layer changes a reflectance property of light. The first and second graphic layers represent a graphic visually recognizable from a front surface of a decorative sheet and allow visually recognizing an image displayed on a back surface from the front surface. The optical functional layer increases at least one of ratios of an amount of visible light representing the graphic and an amount of visible light representing the image that transmits through the first and second graphic layers to an amount of visible light reflected by and visible on the front surface.

  • Publication number: 20230152421
    Abstract: A decorative molded article transmits a radio wave handled by a radar device as a wireless device and illuminates a specific portion by a light irradiated from a light emitting device. A first reflective layer is formed to have a first opening portion in a back surface of a molded body, reflects light incident from the first opening portion, and transmits the millimeter wave. A first coloring unit transmits the millimeter wave and colors the light incident from the first opening portion to generate a first colored light. A shielding layer of a decorative sheet is fixedly secured to a translucent film, transmits the millimeter wave, and shields the first colored light. The shielding layer has a second opening portion arranged in the specific portion of the translucent film to take out the first colored light from the molded body to a front of a front surface.
