  • Patent number: 11426982
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a laminate panel in which a transparent colored layer is formed with a decorative sheet on a base substrate such as a resin plate or glass; and a display panel using the laminate panel and to provide a method of manufacturing the display panel. The laminate panel includes a base substrate formed of a resin plate or glass plate, an adhesive layer formed on the base substrate, a transparent colored layer formed on the adhesive layer, and a surface protection layer formed on the transparent colored layer. The display panel is applied, for example, as an in-vehicle display panel.

  • Patent number: 11345134
    Abstract: An inexpensive decorative sheet has a fine three-dimensional metallic design. A base vapor deposition film and a transfer sheet are provided. The base vapor deposition film includes a transparent film base of primarily a thermoplastic resin and is light-transmissive, and an underlying metal layer. The transfer sheet includes a transfer base film and a reflection pattern formation layer including a pattern metal layer. The transfer sheet is placed onto the base vapor deposition film, and a transfer roller is pressed against the transfer base film to embed a portion of the reflection pattern formation layer onto the base vapor deposition film and bond the portion to the base vapor deposition film. The transfer roller includes a transfer surface, which corresponds to a predetermined design. The transfer sheet is peeled away from the base vapor deposition film to transfer a reflection pattern to the base vapor deposition film.

  • Patent number: 10981368
    Abstract: Provided are a decorative glass panel having a three-dimensional metal design and a manufacturing method for the decorative glass panel, the method exhibiting enhanced productivity. A decorative glass panel 10 includes: a glass substrate 15; an adhesive layer 11 formed on the glass substrate 15; a non-uniform pattern layer 12 formed on the adhesive layer 11; and a vapor-deposited metal layer 13 formed on the non-uniform pattern layer 12. In the glass substrate 15, a section that is a portion of a back surface of the glass substrate 15 and that is bent from a flat surface section 30 to an upright section 31 forms a curved surface 32. The non-uniform pattern layer 12 has, in a surface facing the vapor-deposited metal layer 13, which is a top surface thereof, a non-uniform pattern formed by depressions 40 and protrusions 41.
