  In recent years, home appliances such as refrigerators having a glass material on the surface have been commercialized. And by applying various prints to the glass material, it can be harmonized with the interior and has excellent design with a high-class feel.

  On the other hand, in a decorative building board where interior properties are regarded as important, there is disclosed a material that exhibits gradation on a convex portion of a base material having irregularities and emphasizes the three-dimensional effect of the concave and convex surfaces of the base material (Patent Literature). 1).

JP 2007-204989 A

  Patent Document 1 describes an expression method for further emphasizing a three-dimensional effect on a substrate having irregularities. However, there is no disclosure of a flat and transparent material such as glass. Therefore, the present invention provides a decorative panel having a high visual effect and a refrigerator using the decorative panel.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a light transmissive member, a first decorative layer in front of the light transmissive member, and a second decorative layer behind the light transmissive member, The first decorative layer and the second decorative layer were configured so that any one of the direction, degree, and gradation of the gradation pattern was different.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a decorative panel having a high visual effect and a refrigerator using the decorative panel.

  Problems, configurations, and effects other than those described above will be clarified by the following description of embodiments.

Explanatory drawing which shows the laminated structure of the decorative panel which concerns on this invention Explanatory drawing which shows the visual effect of the decoration panel which concerns on this invention Explanatory drawing showing changes in the size and density of holes (dots) in gradation printing Explanatory drawing which shows the laminated structure of the modification of the decorative panel which concerns on this invention Front view of a refrigerator to which a decorative panel according to the present invention is applied Explanatory drawing which shows the laminated structure of the upper decoration panel of the freezer compartment door of FIG.

  Hereinafter, examples will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a laminated structure of a decorative panel 1 according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative panel 1 according to the present invention has a light-transmitting member 2 such as a plastic plate or a glass plate, and the density increases from the left to the right in front of the light-transmitting member 2 (printing). The first decorative layer 3 having two continuous gradation patterns (the density is dense) and the gradation pattern where the density increases from the bottom to the top (the printing density becomes dense) behind the light transmissive member 2 The 2nd decoration layer 4 which has 2 continuously. Here, the gradation pattern is composed of a degree and gradation in which brightness and color tone are changed in stages.

  In addition, although the two continuous gradation patterns were provided in the 1st decoration layer 3 and the 2nd decoration layer 4 of FIG. 1, it is not restricted to this. Single or two or more gradation patterns may be provided in each of the front and back layers, or the number of gradation patterns may be changed in each of the front and back layers.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the visual effect of the decorative panel according to the present invention. FIG. 2A is a front view of the decorative panel of FIG. As shown in the drawing, the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 intersect the direction in which the light and darkness or the color tone changes in a stepwise manner, so that the thinnest color tone at the lower left (the part that is most brightly visible, From a coarse print dot location), it becomes a radially dark color tone (a dark visible portion where print dots are dense). The upper right in the figure, where the darkest portions of the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 overlap, is the darkest color tone (the darkest visible portion and the dense print dot location). Thereby, the decoration panel can be expressed as if it is partially irradiated with the light source from the lower left, and the decoration panel 1 can be given a sense of depth or a three-dimensional effect.

  Next, a further stereoscopic effect of the decorative panel 1 will be described. FIG. 2B is a schematic aa sectional view of the decorative panel in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the first decorative layer 3 gradually increases in color tone density from the left toward the center (the printing density becomes dense and gradually changes from light to dark), and once thins in the center ( The printing density becomes coarse), and from there, the density gradually increases toward the right. On the other hand, since the second decorative layer 4 is a gradation in the vertical direction, the density (or brightness) of the color tone in the horizontal direction at the same vertical position is constant.

  At the left end of the decorative panel 1, the first decorative layer 3 has the lightest color tone (the brightest visible part and the portion of the coarse printed dot), so that the amount of light transmitted through the light transmissive member 2 increases and the light transmissive property is increased. Many second decorative layers 4 on the back surface of the member 2 can be visually recognized from the front surface of the light transmissive member 2. At this time, the second decorative layer 4 has a visual effect that gives a sense of depth by the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member 3.

  Then, from the left end toward the center, the density of the first decorative layer 3 gradually increases (the printed dots are dense), so that light that does not transmit through the light transmissive member 3 (non-transmitted light) gradually increases. Light (transmitted light) that passes through the light transmissive member 3 and reaches the second decorative layer 4 gradually decreases. Thus, there is a visual effect that gives a three-dimensional effect that gradually rises forward from the left end to the center.

  In the central portion shown in FIG. 2B, the first decorative layer 3 has a boundary of a gradation pattern that is repeated (the boundary between the darkest printed portion and the lightest printed portion). And in this boundary, it will change suddenly from the state with little light which permeate | transmits the light transmissive member 3 to many states, and it will change suddenly from the state where the 2nd decoration layer 4 is visually recognized to many states. It will be. At this time, there is a visual effect that gives a sense of depth by changing from a state having a strong influence on the visibility of the first decoration layer 3 to a state having a strong influence on the visibility of the second decoration layer 4.

  Then, depending on the position and angle at which the user views the decorative panel 1, the proportion of the first decorative layer 3 on the surface of the light transmissive member 2 being visually recognized, and the second decorative layer 4 transmitted through the light transmissive member 2 The rate of visual recognition changes. For this reason, visually, it acts as if the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member 2 is changed, and can give a visual effect such as a change in depth, a three-dimensional undulation, and a curved surface. it can.

  That is, the gradation pattern is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, and any one of the gradation direction, degree, and gradation of the gradation in the first decoration layer 3 and the second decoration layer 4 may be described above. Similar visual effects can be obtained.

  One of the major features according to the present embodiment is that the light transmissive member 2, the first decorative layer 3 having gradation in front of the light transmissive member 2, and the rear of the light transmissive member 2, the first It is the point provided with the 2nd decoration layer 4 which has the gradation from which the decoration layer 3 and either direction, a grade, and a gradation differ.

  As described above, the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 having gradation patterns having different directions, degrees, and gradations are overlapped with each other through the light-transmitting member 2, thereby providing a visual three-dimensional effect. Can be granted. In addition, due to the synergistic effect of the light transmissive member 2, the first decorative layer 3, and the second decorative layer 4, the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member 2 is visually changed depending on the position and angle viewed by the user. Since it can be seen, the decorative panel 1 can be given a visual effect such as a change in depth, a three-dimensional relief or curved surface.

  That is, the depth positions of the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 that are visually recognized by the user are different from each other by the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member 2, and the objects reflected in the left and right eyes are very subtle but different. become. As a result, the flat decorative panel 1 feels the depth and appears to have three-dimensional undulations and curved surfaces.

  Each of the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 has a plurality of continuous gradation patterns. As a result, the appearance of the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 changes greatly at the boundary portion of the continuous gradation pattern, so that the decorative panel 1 has a change in depth, three-dimensional undulations, and curved surfaces. The visual effect can be given more greatly.

  The gradation patterns of the first decoration layer 3 and the second decoration layer 4 are provided so as to intersect. As a result, the appearance of the first decorative layer 3 and the second decorative layer 4 changes gradually, so that the decorative panel 1 has a greater visual effect such as a change in depth, a three-dimensional undulation, and a curved surface. be able to.

  Moreover, the 1st decoration layer 3 and the 2nd decoration layer 4 are good also as a structure directly printed on the light transmissive member 2, or printing on a sheet material like a light transmissive film, and an adhesive agent or an adhesive. It is good also as a structure affixed on a light transmissive member via.

  The gradation direction, degree, and gradation are expressed by changing the saturation and lightness of the decoration layer, or by increasing the printing interval of the dark portion while increasing the printing interval of the thin portion. There are methods to be realized.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the first decorative layer is formed by changing the size and density of gradation printing holes (dots), the light-transmitting member becomes larger as the interval between the dots becomes coarser. Will be exposed. Therefore, illumination light or external light passes between the dots and passes through the inside of the light-transmitting member, and irradiates the pattern on the back surface side to form a composite pattern superimposed on the surface side pattern.

  When illumination light or external light passes through the light-transmitting member and irradiates the pattern on the back side between the dots, it is irradiated with light from a number of pin spots that are not dimmed. There will be many bright parts irradiated with the spot and parts not irradiated with the pin spot. As a result, the depth effect of the pattern that appears to overlap the pattern on the front surface side and the pattern on the back surface side, and visual effects such as three-dimensional undulations and curved surfaces are further increased and detailed.

  When the first decorative layer 3 that is the front side pattern is composed of only the brightness change of the paint instead of dots, the second decorative layer 4 that is the back side pattern is irradiated with light that is transmitted through the paint and is uniformly dimmed. Therefore, the visual effect as described above cannot be obtained.

  Furthermore, depending on the light irradiation angle of the decorative panel 1 and the angle or position that the user views, the light that has passed between the dots is refracted by the prism effect of the light transmissive member, and the light is partially very fine. It becomes a rainbow-colored light and produces an effect of raising the gradation pattern from the back side.

  In addition, when a coating material is directly applied to a hard material such as a glass plate (light transmissive member), silk screen printing (stencil printing) is suitable. In this printing means, ink is pushed out and applied from the holes in the screen, so that decoration is expressed by the size of the holes (dots).

<Modification>
Next, a modified example in which the decoration layer is different will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a laminated structure of the decorative panel 10 according to a modification.

  The decorative panel 10 has a first decorative layer 12 in front of the light transmissive member 11, a second decorative layer 13 in the rear of the light transmissive member 11, and the first decorative layer 12 and the second decorative layer 13. This is the same as the previous embodiment in that any one of the direction, degree and gradation of gradation is different.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the decorative panel 10 in the present modification includes a first decorative layer 12 in front of a light-transmissive member 11 having a vertically long shape. The first decorative layer 12 virtually arranges a radially continuous gradation pattern from a virtual point on the front surface of the light transmissive member 11 or a position where the front surface is extended, and a part of the gradation pattern is light transmissive. This is expressed on the member 11. Specifically, the first decorative layer 12 is inclined or curved with respect to the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the light-transmitting member 11 and has a wider color from the upper side to the lower side, and the color tone is dark from left to right ( A plurality of gradation patterns are arranged so that the print density becomes dense and gradually changes from light to dark.

  A second decorative layer 13 is provided behind the light transmissive member 11. Similarly, in the second decorative layer 13, a radially continuous gradation pattern is virtually arranged from a virtual point obtained by extending the rear surface or the rear surface of the light transmissive member 11, and part of the gradation pattern is light transmissive. This is expressed on the member 11. Specifically, the second decorative layer 13 is inclined or curved with respect to the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the light transmissive member 11 and has a wide color from the right side to the left side. (The printing density becomes dense and gradually changes from light to dark) A plurality of gradation patterns are arranged to be continuous.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the decorative panel 10 has a variety of sizes and outlines having curved sides due to the front first decorative layer 12 and the rear second decorative layer 13 when viewed from the front. A plurality of all or part of the rhombus 14 will be provided.

  In addition to providing a three-dimensional effect by overlapping the first decorative layer 12 and the second decorative layer 13 with different gradation directions, degrees, and gradations, the light transmissive member 11, the first decorative layer 12, and the first Due to the synergistic effect with the two decorative layers 13, the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member appears to change visually depending on the position and angle viewed by the user. Can give such a visual effect.

  In addition, since the depth positions of the first decorative layer 12 on the front surface and the second decorative layer 13 on the rear surface of the light transmissive member 11 are different, the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member 11 seems to change. In addition, since the left and right eyes can see slightly different objects, the decorative panel 10 appears to have a sense of depth, three-dimensional undulations and curved surfaces, and the visual change in a state where these are combined. The visual effects such as are made larger and more precise.

  In other words, the first decorative layer 12 and the second decorative layer 13 have different depth positions corresponding to the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member 11, and the objects reflected in the left and right eyes are very subtle but different. As a result, the decorative panel 10 feels the depth, and it appears that there are three-dimensional undulations and curved surfaces. Further, when the user moves the viewpoint, it looks like a continuous three-dimensional change.

  Furthermore, by inclining or curving the gradation pattern of the first decorative layer 12 or the second decorative layer 13 with respect to the height direction and the width direction of the light transmissive member 10, In front view, a plurality of substantially rhombus shapes 14 are provided. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a decorative panel that can give a visual effect of three-dimensional or curved wave shape.

  Further, by increasing the width of the gradation pattern of the first decorative layer 12 or the second decorative layer 13 from the upper side to the lower side, the upper side becomes a small rhombus shape and the lower side becomes a large rhombus shape. And by this structure, while providing the visual effect which gives a three-dimensional effect by arranging several small rhombus shapes on the upper part of the decoration panel 10 close | similar to the height of a user's eyes | visual_axis, while gradually increasing the rhombus as it goes below Since it is shaped, it can provide a sense of stability.

<Application example>
Next, an example in which the decorative panel according to the embodiment is applied to a refrigerator will be described. More specifically, an example in which the decorative panel according to the present invention is applied to a refrigerator called a side-by-side type will be described.

  In recent years, home appliances such as refrigerators having a glass material on the surface have been widely used. And by applying various printing and decorations to the glass material, it can be harmonized with the interior and is excellent in design with a sense of quality. Accordingly, there is a demand not only to apply a glass material but also to provide a refrigerator provided with a decorative panel that uses the glass material to enhance the visual effect.

  Here, a refrigerator called a side-by-side type is a structure in which each of the vertically long storage rooms arranged on the left and right is opened and closed with a door, and this door is large, for example, about 1800 mm in height with respect to a width of 400 to 600 mm. is there. In other words, a refrigerator with excellent design can be proposed by applying a decorative panel with a higher visual effect to the door as much as a large door is provided.

FIG. 5 is a front view of a refrigerator to which the decorative panel according to this application example is applied.
The refrigerator 20 includes a freezing room on the left side, a refrigeration room on the upper right side, and a vegetable room on the lower right side in front view. Each storage room is open at the front, and a freezer compartment door 21, a refrigerator compartment door 22, and a vegetable compartment door 23 are attached to the front face of a box-shaped heat insulating housing so as to be freely opened and closed.

In addition, each door has a handle or a grip portion (not shown).

  Further, a concave outlet 24 is provided in front of the freezer compartment door 21 on the left side of the refrigerator 20. The outlet 24 is a part of a dispenser that takes out cold water, ice cubes (block ice), or crushed ice (crush ice) from the refrigerator 20 to the outside of the refrigerator 20. Since the outlet 24 has a sufficient size compared to a normal cup (as an example, a capacity of 100 to 200 ml), it is a dimension that allows the user to easily hold the cup and insert it into the outlet 24. Shape.

  On the inner bottom surface of the concave outlet 24, there is a detachable net-shaped cup table (not shown), and the lower part thereof is concave so as to receive water. Further, a supply unit (not shown) is provided behind the upper surface of the outlet 24, and when a switch lever 25 provided on the back side of the outlet 24 is pushed with a cup or the like, an internal driving means (not shown) operates to operate the cold water supply unit. Either cold water, ice cubes (block ice) or crushed ice (crush ice) can be supplied from 26.

  An operation panel 27 is provided on the freezer compartment door 21 above the outlet 24. On the operation panel 27, an operation state display unit for displaying the operation status of the refrigerator 20, cold water, ice cubes (block ice), and crushing is displayed. A selection switch for instructing which ice (crush ice) to supply is provided.

  The freezer compartment door decorative panel provided in front of the freezer compartment door 21 is divided into an upper decorative panel 28a and a lower decorative panel 28b in order to form the outlet 24. A refrigerator compartment door decorative panel 29 is provided on the front face of the refrigerator compartment door 22, and a vegetable compartment door decorative panel 30 is provided on the front face of the vegetable compartment door 23.

  And the upper decorative panel 28a, the lower decorative panel 28b, the refrigerator compartment door decorative panel 29, and the vegetable compartment door decorative panel 30 which are located in the front part of the refrigerator 20 are used as one continuous virtual plane front decorative panel. As in any of the above-described embodiments and modifications, gradation patterns of a first decorative layer 32 and a second decorative layer 33, which will be described later, are continuously provided on the front and rear surfaces of the light transmissive member 31, respectively. ing.

  That is, the upper decorative panel 28a, the lower decorative panel 28b, the refrigerator compartment door decorative panel 29, and the vegetable compartment door decorative panel 30 are provided on each door independently. As the color tone, by having the continuity across the border of the adjacent decorative panel, it is possible to give a design with a sense of unity to the front part of the refrigerator 20.

  Next, the laminated structure of the door decorative panel will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the upper decorative panel of the freezer compartment door.

  The upper decorative panel 28a includes a light-transmitting member 31 having a vertically long shape, a first decorative layer 32 on the front surface of the light-transmitting member 31, and a second decorative layer (first back layer) on the back surface of the light-transmitting member 31. 33, a second back layer 34 on the back of the second decorative layer 33, an opaque third back layer 35 on the back of the second back layer 34, and a display member 36 on the back of the third back layer 35. Composed.

  The first and second decoration layers 32 and 33 are the same as the previous embodiment or modification in that the gradation direction, degree, and gradation are different.

  Specifically, in front of the light transmissive member 31, the concentration is inclined from the left to the right, which is inclined or curved with respect to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the light transmissive member 31 and widened from the top to the bottom. The first decorative layer 32 having a plurality of gradations that continuously increase in density (the printing density becomes dense) and the rear of the light transmissive member 31 are inclined with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions of the light transmissive member 31 or A second decorative layer 33 having a plurality of gradations which are curved and widened from the right to the left and which has a plurality of gradations in which the density increases from the bottom to the top (the printing density becomes dense) is provided. Yes.

  And the 2nd back surface layer 34 used as the background layer of the 2nd decoration layer (1st back surface layer) 33 is formed by apply | coating a coating material directly on the back surface of the 2nd decoration layer 33, or an adhesive agent is used. The background color of the first decorative layer 32 and the second decorative layer 33 is obtained by adhering the film to which the paint is applied.

  Similarly, the third back layer 35, which is an opaque layer, is also formed by applying paint on the back surface of the second back layer 34, or by adhering a film to which the paint is applied via an adhesive. It is formed. And this 3rd back layer 35 is for preventing components, such as a heat insulating material (foam heat insulating material and a vacuum heat insulating material) and a board | substrate which were provided in the back in a door, from being visible from the front. A part of the third decorative layer 35 is provided with a window that is a light transmitting portion at a projection position of the display member 36 on which various operations of the operation panel 27 and display contents are printed. The display member 36 can be configured by printing characters, symbols, and the like on a light-transmitting film or resin plate. Moreover, the structure provided in the 3rd decoration layer 35 by printing etc. may be sufficient.

  The second back layer 34 and the third back layer 35 may not be provided if the decoration of the first decoration layer 32 and the second decoration layer 33 is dark and difficult to see through. If it is easy, a plurality of layers may be provided.

  The display member 36 emits light from an LED light emitting unit, which is an example of an illuminating unit (not shown) provided on the back surface, and various settings and operation contents of the refrigerator 20 represented on the display member 36 are in order from the back to the third back surface. The layer 35, the second back layer 34, the second decorative layer (first back layer) 33, the light transmissive member 31, and the first decorative layer 32 are displayed.

  On the back surface of the display member 36, a control unit having a plurality of input touch electrodes and an LED light emitting unit, and a case (not shown) as a holding member for holding them are stacked.

  With this configuration, various settings and operation details of the refrigerator 20 are turned off so that the illumination means is turned off so that it cannot be visually recognized from the outside at normal times, thereby improving the design of the upper decorative panel 28a. On the other hand, when the user confirms or changes various settings or operates the dispenser, the lighting means is turned on so that the content of the display member 36 appears on the front surface of the upper decorative panel 28a. Therefore, the operability is improved.

  Since the lower decorative panel 28b, the refrigerator compartment door decorative panel 29, and the vegetable compartment door decorative panel 30 are not provided with the display member 36 on the rear side, a light transmitting portion (window) is formed on the third back surface layer 35. However, the other configurations are the same. When the display member 36 is provided on the rear side, a light transmission part is formed on the third back surface layer 35 in the same manner as the upper decorative panel 28a.

  And the freezer compartment door 21, the refrigerator compartment door 22, and the vegetable compartment door 23 are in the space formed by each decorative panel, the inner wall member which comprises the surface inside a refrigerator, and the frame which comprises the circumference | surroundings. Further, it is configured by filling a foam heat insulating material, for example, polyurethane foam. In addition, the structure which arrange | positions a vacuum heat insulating material with a foam heat insulating material is also employable.

  One of the features of the refrigerator according to this application example is a refrigerator including a door provided with a decorative panel.This decorative panel has at least a light transmissive member, and in front of the light transmissive member, A first decorative layer having a plurality of gradations that are inclined or curved and widened from the top to the bottom, the density increasing from left to right (the printing density is dense), and a light transmission property; On the rear side of the member, there are a plurality of gradations that are inclined or curved and have a plurality of gradations in which the width increases from right to left and the density increases from bottom to top (the printing density becomes dense). And two decorative layers.

  That is, it is possible to give a stereoscopic effect by superimposing the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer, which are different in gradation direction, degree, and gradation. In addition, the synergistic effect of the light transmissive member, the first decorative layer, and the second decorative layer provides an effect that the thickness dimension of the light transmissive member changes visually depending on the position and angle viewed by the user. Therefore, it is possible to provide a refrigerator that gives a visual effect such as a change in depth and a three-dimensional undulation or curved surface.

  In other words, the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer are different in the thickness dimension and the depth distance of the light-transmitting member, and the objects reflected in the left and right eyes are very subtle, but this is different. Seems to have three-dimensional undulations and curved surfaces with depth.

  Furthermore, by curving or tilting the gradation of the first decorative layer or the second decorative layer with respect to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and crossing each other, the door of the refrigerator has a plurality of substantially rhombus shapes in front view. It will be. With this configuration, it is possible to give a visual effect that the wave shape is solid or curved.

  One of the features of the refrigerator according to this application example is a refrigerator including a plurality of doors including a decorative panel. The decorative panel includes at least a light-transmitting member, and the light-transmitting member is disposed in front of the light-transmitting member. A plurality of gradations that are inclined or curved with respect to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and have a plurality of gradations in which the density increases from left to right (print density increases) from the upper side to the lower side. One decorative layer and the rear side of the light-transmitting member are inclined or curved with respect to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and the width is widened from the right to the left, and the concentration increases from the bottom to the top ( A second decorative layer having a plurality of gradations in succession (the printing density becomes dense), and the gradation of each of the first decoration layer and the second decoration layer of the plurality of doors is made continuous on a virtual plane. It is a point that is divided.

  By increasing the width of the gradation pattern from the upper side to the lower side, the upper side becomes a small rhombus shape, and the lower side becomes a large rhombus shape. With this configuration, a plurality of small rhombus shapes are arranged above the decorative panel close to the human line of sight, thereby providing a stereoscopic effect with a deeper depth and a visual effect of curving. On the other hand, since it gradually becomes a large rhombus shape as it goes below the decorative panel, it is possible to suppress the stereoscopic effect and the visual effect of curving and give a stable impression to the lower part of the refrigerator.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described Example, a modification, and an application example, Various modifications are included. For example, the above-described embodiments and the like have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Moreover, it is possible to replace a part of the configuration of a certain embodiment with the configuration of another modification or application, and it is also possible to add the configuration of another embodiment to the configuration of a certain modification or application. It is. In addition, it is possible to add, delete, and replace other configurations for a part of the configuration of each embodiment or the like.

  In the drawings of the present embodiment, the expressions of the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer are both black and white gradations, but are not limited thereto. Other colors may be used, and different colors may be used for the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer.

  In addition, gradation expression includes a method of changing the saturation and lightness, and a method of realizing the darker one by increasing the printing interval and the thinner one by increasing the printing interval.

  Further, the first decorative layer and the second decorative layer may be printed directly on the light transmissive member, or the gradation may be printed on a sheet material such as a film via an adhesive or an adhesive. It is good also as a structure stuck on a light transmissive member.

  In addition, when a coating material is directly applied to a hard material such as a glass plate (light transmissive member), silk screen printing (stencil printing) is suitable. In this printing means, ink is pushed out and applied from the holes in the screen, so that decoration is expressed by the size of the holes (dots). At this time, a transparent material is exposed between the dots, and illumination or external light penetrates from the surface of the light-transmitting member to the inside between the dots, and the pattern on the back side is irradiated to form the surface side pattern. A superimposed composite pattern is formed.

  Furthermore, depending on the irradiation angle and the viewing angle / position, refraction spectroscopy is performed by the prism effect inside the transparent material, so that the light partially becomes iridescent light, and the gradation pattern emerges from the back side.

  On the other hand, when printing a gradation on a sheet material such as a film, it is possible to express fine shades by changing the size and depth of the cells on the surface of the printing press by gravure printing, and thus the appearance characteristics. Can provide a high refrigerator door plate.

  The sheet material may be a thin film-like substrate that can be coated with a paint on the surface, and examples thereof include a polyester film (PET film). A PET film has high transparency, and by printing on the back surface of the base material, a coating layer can be seen through the film, and a glossy and high-quality sheet material can be provided.
