  • Publication number: 20250012426
    Abstract: A decorative laminate for transmitting light includes a light-permeable substrate, a light adjusting layer, an interference pigment print layer, and a black semi-transparent print layer. The light adjusting layer has, at a surface opposite from the substrate, an uneven part formed to match a design's shape shown by the interference pigment print layer. The interference pigment print layer has first light transmitting parts, through which the light is transmitted. The black semi-transparent print layer has second light transmitting parts, at positions at a main surface of the black semi-transparent print layer where, in plan view, the second light transmitting parts at least partially overlap the first light transmitting parts. The first light transmitting parts and the second light transmitting parts are voids in a coating layer and formed at a main surface of the interference pigment print layer and at the main surface of the black semi-transparent print layer, respectively.
