Abstract: A laminate with a decorative layer over an electrical functional layer such as a touch sensor panel, which provides for example a touchpad functionality, as well as a production method for it. It is possible for the first time to perform an individualization of prefabricated laminates with functionality such as touch functionality of a touch sensor in an uncomplicated manner. This is achieved by supplementing a functional laminate with a laser protective layer between the electrical functional layer and a decorative layer which can be lasered and written on with simple measures.

In a functional area (20a, 20a?, 20a?) of this functional layer, at least one electrical or electronic component is provided, and at least one electrical connection for this is provided in a contact area (20b, 20b?, 20b?).

Suitable formation of the first film (2, 2?, 2?) guarantees that a tab (F) separated from the plastic main material (3, 3?, 3?) is provided which adjoins a back-injection molded part of the first film in an area of surface (20c, 20c?, 20c?) of the body which is at a distance from an edge (31, 31?) of the body delimiting the surface (30) with the first film.

Abstract: The invention concerns a multi-layer flexible film body (6), in particular a label film or packaging film as well as a goods identification system and uses of such a film body. The film body (6) has a carrier layer and a decorative layer system (11) which provides optically recognisable information. A plurality of layers of the decorative layer system form an electronically controlled display element (65), by the activation of which the optically recognisable information becomes visible.

Abstract: An electronic component comprises a plurality of layers at least two of which comprise predominantly organic functional materials with improved through-plating through certain of the layers. The through-plating is formed in one embodiment by a disruption element on a first lower layer which results in a void in the subsequently applied layers, which void is filled with a material which may be conductive to form the through plating. In a second embodiment, the through plating is formed on the first lower layer prior to the subsequent application of the other layers, in the form of a free-standing truncated frusto-conical raised portion, and forms a disruption or non-welting element for the subsequently applied other layers, formed on the first lower layer and which are engaged with and surround the through plating after their application.
