Description

Decorative sheet, decorative member, display system, plate manufacturing method, decorative sheet manufacturing method, and decorative member manufacturing method

The present disclosure relates to a decorative sheet, a decorative member, a display system, a plate manufacturing method, a decorative sheet manufacturing method, and a decorative member manufacturing method.

A linear pattern is used for surface decoration. The linear pattern may be, for example, a hairline pattern in which linear elements extend linearly in a given direction. The linear pattern may be a spin pattern in which linear elements extend in a curved shape in the circumferential direction. A linear pattern can be made by scribing the surface of the metal in a predetermined direction.

The linear pattern may be a wood grain pattern that expresses wood grain. The linear pattern may be a woven pattern representing a woven fabric. The linear pattern may be a cloth pattern obtained by weaving plant fibers, as an example of a textile pattern. The linear pattern may be a carbon pattern obtained by weaving carbon fibers, as an example of a woven pattern. The linear pattern may be a denim pattern representing denim, as an example of a textile pattern.

For example, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a decorative sheet using resin expresses a linear pattern. This decorative sheet includes linear elements as linear protrusions or linear recesses. The linear elements are arranged in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal direction. Linear elements can be made by resin molding such as embossing.

The decorative sheet can be placed over a display device, light source device, or the like that forms an image. A decorative sheet constitutes a display system together with a display device, a light source device, and the like. In the display system, the decorative sheet allows transmission of light from the display device and the light source device to enable transmission observation of the image. The decorative sheet can hide the display device and the light source device when no image is displayed.

Each linear element 45 may include multiple unit elements 48 . The unit elements 48 may be unit convex portions 48A or unit concave portions 48B.

The unit convex portion 48A and the unit concave portion 48B are distinguished by their position (height) in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 (the third direction D3 in the illustrated example). A reference position (reference height) in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is set, and the unit convex portions 48A and the unit concave portions 48B are distinguished based on the reference position. A unit element 48 protruding closer to the observer than the reference position in the normal direction is the unit convex portion 48A. In the normal direction, the unit element 48 that is recessed away from the viewer from the reference position becomes the unit recess 48B. The reference position is the average position (average height) of the linear pattern layer 40 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 .

By relative comparison of the average position (average height) of the linear elements 45 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 (the third direction D3 in the illustrated example), two linear elements 45 adjacent in the arrangement direction are , linear protrusions 45A or linear recesses 45B. A reference position (reference height) in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is set, and the linear protrusions 45A and the linear recesses 45B are distinguished based on the reference height. Linear elements 45 whose average position (average height) is closer to the observer than the reference position in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 are linear projections 45A. Linear elements 45 whose average position (average height) is lower than the reference position in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 and which are farther from the observer are linear concave portions 45B. The reference position is the average position (average height) of the linear pattern layer 40 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 .

The average position (average height) of the linear pattern layer 40 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is specified using a scanning white interferometer (model number New View 6300) manufactured by Zygo Corporation. According to the scanning white light interferometer, the average position in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 can be measured for the measurement target area. The average position of the measurement target area is measured at 20 measurement positions. From the 20 measurements obtained, 10 measurements, excluding the 1st to 5th largest measurements and the 5 smallest measurements 1st to 5th smallest to select. The average value of the ten selected measurement values is taken as the average position of the linear pattern layer 40 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 . The measurement target area is a 216 μm square (216 μm×216 μm) area.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing linear protrusions 45A and linear recesses 45B adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). FIG. 6 shows only a portion of the two linear elements 45 in the longitudinal direction (the first direction D1 in the illustrated example). In FIG. 6, the height in the third direction D3 is indicated by color. In FIG. 6, the white portion indicates the unit convex portion 48A, and the black portion indicates the unit concave portion 48B.

As shown in FIG. 6, a linear region 46 in which one linear element 45 is arranged is divided into a large number of unit regions 49 . A large number of unit areas 49 are set by dividing each linear area 46 . Unit regions 49 are arranged two-dimensionally in each linear region 46 . A two-dimensional array means arrayed in each of two non-parallel directions. In the example of FIG. 6, the unit regions 49 are arranged in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 that are orthogonal to each other. One unit element 48 is assigned to each unit area 49 . Therefore, in each linear element 45, unit elements 48 are arranged two-dimensionally. In the illustrated example, the unit elements 48 are arranged in both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. Unlike the illustrated example, the unit elements 48 and the unit regions 49 may be arranged in a direction non-parallel to the longitudinal direction D1 of the linear element 45 . The unit elements 48 and the unit regions 49 may be arranged in a direction non-parallel to the arrangement direction D2 of the linear elements 45 .

The arrangement ratio of the unit convex portions 48A may differ between two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). Thereby, the average height of two adjacent linear elements 45 in the third direction D3 is different, and the two adjacent linear elements 45 can be distinguished from each other. Here, the arrangement ratio means the ratio (%) of the area where the unit convex portions 48A included in the linear element 45 are arranged with respect to the area where one linear element 45 is arranged. Therefore, assuming that the area in which the linear elements 45 are arranged is the linear area 46, between two linear areas 46 adjacent in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example), the linear area The arrangement ratio of the unit convex portions 48A within 46 may be different.

Similarly, the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B may differ between two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). Between two linear regions 46 adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example), the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B within the linear region 46 may differ. Thereby, the average height of two adjacent linear elements 45 in the third direction D3 is different, and the two adjacent linear elements 45 can be distinguished from each other.

At least one of the two linear elements 45 adjacent in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example) may include the unit convex portion 48A and the other may include the unit concave portion 48B. Thereby, the average position (average height) in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 differs between the two linear elements 45, and the two linear elements 45 may be distinguished from each other. Also, one or both of the two linear elements 45 adjacent in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example) may include both the unit convex portion 48A and the unit concave portion 48B. Thereby, the average positions (average heights) in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 are different between the two linear elements 45 and may be distinguished from each other.

The average position (average height) of the linear elements 45 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is specified using a scanning white interferometer (model number New View 6300) manufactured by Zygo Corporation. According to the scanning white light interferometer, the average position in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 can be measured for the measurement target area. At five measurement positions in the target linear element 45, the average position of the measurement target area is measured, and the average value of the three measurement values excluding the maximum measurement value and the minimum measurement value is It is the average position of the elements 45 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 . The measurement target area is a 216 μm square (216 μm×216 μm) area. If the measurement target area of 216 μm square cannot be set because the linear element 45 is thin or the like, a square measurement target area as large as possible centered on the measurement position is set.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the linear pattern layer 40 includes a sheet-like base portion 43 and unit convex portions 48A projecting from the base portion 43 in the third direction D3. The base portion 43 is exposed by providing the unit concave portion 48B. As will be described later, the base portion 43 and the unit convex portion 48A may be integrally molded by resin molding. That is, the base portion 43 and the unit convex portion 48A may be seamlessly connected.

FIG. 7A is a schematic enlarged view of a portion of the linear region 46 and the linear element 45 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 7A, the unit area 49 has a rectangular shape. The unit area 49 may have a square shape. The unit convex portion 48A is a rectangular prism-shaped convex portion. The unit recessed portion 48B is a square prism-shaped recessed portion.

The arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 and the unit regions 49 is not particularly limited. The arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 and the unit regions 49 is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 (in the illustrated example, the first direction D1). The arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 and the unit regions 49 may be inclined with respect to the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example).

The linear element 45 has side walls 42 formed by unit convex portions 48A and unit concave portions 48B. The unit convex portions 48A and the unit concave portions 48B are arranged two-dimensionally.

The side walls 42B facing the arrangement direction may be dispersed at various positions between both ends of the linear elements 45 in the arrangement direction. The linear element 45 may include side walls 42B facing the arrangement direction at the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction, in other words, other than at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The side walls 42A facing the arrangement direction may be dispersed at various positions between both ends of the linear elements 45 in the longitudinal direction.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, lower limits may be set for the wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2. A lower limit may be set for the wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2 (°). The wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2 are indices representing the magnitude of the inclination angles of the side walls 42A and 42B with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30. FIG. By setting the lower limits of the wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2, the side walls 42A and 42B are greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 . This weakens the diffusion on the side walls 42A and 42B and suppresses bleeding. In addition, since the lens effect of the side walls 42 can be weakened and the light guiding action of the linear elements 45 can be weakened, bleeding can be further suppressed. From this point of view, the wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2 may be 66° or more, 73° or more, or 76° or more.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, upper limits may be set for the wall inclination angles θ1 and θ2. The wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2 may be 87° or less. By thus setting the upper limits of the wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2, the linear pattern 35 can be displayed clearly.

As shown in FIG. 8, the wall inclination angles θ1 and θ2 are specified in a cross section along the direction in which the unit elements 48 are arranged. The wall portion inclination angle θ1 is measured in a cross section parallel to both the normal direction of the decorative sheet and the first direction D1. The wall portion inclination angle θ2 is measured in a cross section parallel to both the normal direction of the decorative sheet and the second direction D2. The wall inclination angles θ1 and θ2 are angles (°) between a straight line SXL passing through the first position PX and the second position PY on the unit element 48 and the normal direction D3. The wall inclination angles θ1 and θ2 are 0° or more and 90° or less. The first position PX is lower than the highest position HXP by 10% of the height difference HXD between the highest position HXP of the unit convex portion 48A crossed by the measurement section and the lowest position LXP of the unit concave portion 48B adjacent to the unit convex portion 48A. This is the position on the side wall 42A of the unit convex portion 48A. The second position PY is a position on the side wall 42B of the unit concave portion 48B which is higher than the lowest position LXP by 10% of the height difference HXD.

The first position PX is positioned between the highest position HXP and the lowest position LXP in one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 . A plurality of positions lower than the highest position HXP by 10% of the height difference HXD can exist between the highest position HXP and the lowest position LXP in the arrangement direction of the unit element 48 . In this case, the position closest to the lowest position LXP in the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 is the first position PX. The second position PY is positioned between the highest position HXP and the lowest position LXP in one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 . A plurality of positions higher than the lowest position LXP by 10% of the height difference HXD can exist between the highest position HXP and the lowest position LXP in the arrangement direction of the unit element 48 . In this case, the position closest to the highest position HXP in the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 is the second position PY.

The maximum length of the unit element 48, the unit convex portion 48A and the unit concave portion 48B may be 50 µm or less, 40 µm or less, 30 µm or less, or 25 µm or less. The maximum length of the unit element 48, the unit convex portion 48A, and the unit concave portion 48B may be 1 μm or longer, 2 μm or longer, 4 μm or longer, or 6 μm or longer. The maximum lengths of the unit elements 48, the unit convex portions 48A, and the unit concave portions 48B are maximum lengths when observed from the third direction D3, in other words, when projected onto a plane orthogonal to the third direction D3. By setting an upper limit to the maximum length of the unit elements 48, the unit convex portions 48A, and the unit concave portions 48B, the individual unit elements 48 are suppressed from being observed, and the linear elements are observed as a continuous line. . By setting the lower limits for the maximum lengths of the unit elements 48, the unit convex portions 48A, and the unit concave portions 48B, it is possible to prevent the individual unit elements 48 from being unintentionally connected during manufacturing.

The height difference of the uneven structure 41 formed by the unit convex portions 48A and the unit concave portions 48B may be 0.3 μm or more, 0.5 μm or more, or 1 μm or more. The height difference of the uneven structure 41 formed by the unit convex portions 48A and the unit concave portions 48B may be 20 μm or less, 10 μm or less, or 5 μm or less. The height difference of the uneven structure 41 is the difference between the highest position and the lowest position along the third direction D3.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, an upper limit may be set for Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 . By setting the upper limit of Rz, the diffusion at the linear element 45 is suppressed, and as a result, blurring of the outline of the image can be suppressed. Rz is the ten-point average roughness (μm) according to JISB0601-1994.

The ten-point average roughness Rz is a value measured using a scanning white light interferometer (NewView6300) manufactured by Zygo Corporation. The measurement area in this measuring device is 1076 μm square, and the “cylinder” set in the measuring device is used to remove the undulation component. The wall inclination angles θ1 and θ2 described above are calculated from the surface shape of the linear pattern layer 40 measured using a scanning white light interferometer (New View 6300) manufactured by Zygo Corporation.

The Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 may be 5.5 μm or less, 5 μm or less, 4.5 μm or less, 4 μm or less, or 3 μm or less. The Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 is specified by measuring Rz at five points and averaging the three measurements excluding the maximum and minimum measurements.

The lower limit of Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 is not particularly set. For example, Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 may be greater than 0 μm or 1 μm or more.

A lower limit may be set for the difference in Rz of the linear elements 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 between two adjacent linear elements 45 . The difference in Rz of the linear elements 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 between two adjacent linear elements 45 may be 1 μm or more, 1.5 μm or more, 2 μm or more, or 2 μm or more. .5 μm or more, 3 μm or more, or 4 μm or more. By setting the difference in Rz in this manner, a difference in matte or glossiness occurs between two adjacent linear elements 45 . Thereby, two adjacent linear elements 45 can be clearly distinguished when observed.

The upper limit of the difference in Rz of the linear elements 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 between two adjacent linear elements 45 is not particularly set. For example, the difference in Rz of the linear elements 45 along the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 between two adjacent linear elements 45 may be 5 μm or less.

In the linear pattern layer 40 including the unit elements 48 having the maximum length and height difference described above, the Rz of the linear elements 45 along the longitudinal direction is the arrangement ratio (%) of the unit convex portions 48A and the arrangement of the unit concave portions 48B. It can be adjusted by the ratio (%). Here, FIG. 28 is a graph showing the relationship between the arrangement ratio (%) of the unit concave portions 48B and the Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B in the linear element 45 may be greater than 0% and 40% or less, may be greater than 0% and 35% or less, or may be greater than 0% and 30%. % or less, greater than 0% and 25% or less, greater than 0% and 20% or less, or greater than 0% and 15% or less. From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B in the linear element 45 may be 60% or more and less than 100%, may be 65% or more and less than 100%, or may be 70% or more. It may be less than 100%, or 80% or more and less than 100%. By setting the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B in this way, it is possible to suppress the Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction from becoming too large.

The arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B may be larger than the arrangement ratio of the unit convex portions 48A. The arrangement ratio of the unit recesses 48B may be greater than 50%. As shown in FIG. 28, by setting the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B and the arrangement ratio of the unit convex portions 48A in this way, it is possible to suppress the Rz of the linear element 45 along the longitudinal direction from becoming too large. As a result, blurring of the contour of the image can be suppressed.

In the linear element 45 in which the proportion of the unit recesses 48B is 40% or less, the unit recesses 48B may not be arranged continuously in the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48. In the linear element 45 in which the ratio of the unit concave portions 48B is 60% or more, the unit convex portions 48A may not be arranged continuously in the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48. FIG. For example, assume that the unit elements 48 are arranged in a first arrangement direction (eg, first direction D1) and in a second arrangement direction (eg, second direction D2) non-parallel to the first arrangement direction. When the ratio of the unit recesses 48B in the linear pattern layer 40 is 40% or less, the unit elements 48 adjacent to any unit recesses 48B in the first arrangement direction are the unit protrusions 48A, and the unit recesses 48B and Unit elements 48 adjacent to each other in the second arrangement direction may be unit convex portions 48A. Alternatively, when the ratio of the unit recesses 48B in the linear pattern layer 40 is 60% or more, the unit elements 48 adjacent to the arbitrary unit protrusions 48A in the first arrangement direction are the unit recesses 48B, and the arbitrary unit protrusions The unit element 48 adjacent to the portion 48A in the second arrangement direction may be the unit concave portion 48B. According to such an example, the unit convex portions 48A and the unit concave portions 48B function to express the matt feeling and the gloss feeling. As a result, two adjacent linear elements 45 can be distinguished and observed, and the linear pattern 35 can be clearly observed.

The decorative sheet 30 may include a bonding layer 62 for the purpose of improving adhesion between constituent elements. In the example shown in FIG. 2 , the bonding layer 62 improves adhesion between the linear pattern layer 40 and the design layer 60 . The bonding layer 62 can be formed using various adhesives and adhesives such as acrylic resin and epoxy resin. The thickness of the bonding layer 62 may be, for example, 1 μm or more and 80 μm or less. The bonding layer 62 may be omitted.

The decorative sheet 30 may include a design layer 60 for the purpose of improving the design. The design layer 60 may be a colored layer as a monochromatic uniform layer. The design layer 60 may be a pattern layer having a pattern. The design layer 60 may be a metal layer containing metal. The design layer 60 may include two or more of a colored layer, a pattern layer and a metal layer.

The picture layer may display figures, patterns, designs, colors, pictures, photographs, characters, marks, pictograms, letters and numbers. The pattern layer may perform design expression to display the background. For example, as patterns that can harmonize the surrounding environment in which the display system 10, the decorative member 20, and the decorative sheet 30 are provided, and the decorative sheet, there are wood grain patterns, marble patterns, metallic textures, and geometric patterns. , the pattern layer may be displayed.

The colored layer and pattern layer can be made from a coating film of a resin composition. The resin composition may contain a binder resin, a colorant, a solvent, a stabilizer, a plasticizer, a catalyst, a curing agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, and the like. Colorants may be pigments or dyes. The thickness of the colored layer and pattern layer may be 0.5 μm or more and 50 μm or less, 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less, or 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

The metal layer may contain one or more of metal elements such as gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, nickel, chromium, and cobalt. Metal layers may include alloys such as brass, bronze, stainless steel, and the like. The thickness of the metal layer may be about 0.1 μm to 1 μm.

Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 will be described. First, a method for manufacturing the plate 90 used for manufacturing the decorative sheet 30 will be described. Next, a method for manufacturing the decorative sheet 30 using the plate 90 will be described. After that, a method for producing the decorative member 20 from the decorative sheet 30 will be described.

A plate 90 corresponding to the linear pattern 35 to be manufactured is produced. 9 and 12 show an example of the plate 90. FIG. The plate 90 shown in FIG. 9 is a so-called roll plate. The plate 90 has a cylindrical outer shape. The plate 90 is held rotatably around the cylindrical central axis CA. The plate 90 has a plate surface 91 on its cylindrical outer peripheral surface. The plate surface 91 is an uneven surface corresponding to the linear pattern to be transferred. The plate surface 91 is an uneven surface corresponding to the uneven structure 41 of the linear pattern layer 40 displaying the linear pattern 35 .

In the illustrated example, the plate surface 91 of the plate 90 includes a plurality of plate linear elements 92 arranged in an axial direction parallel to the central axis CA. Each plate-like element 92 is a plate-like protrusion 92A or a plate-like recess 92B. The plate line-shaped convex portion 92A protrudes outward away from the central axis CA in the radial direction perpendicular to the central axis CA. The stencil-shaped concave portion 92B is recessed inward and close to the central axis CA in the radial direction perpendicular to the central axis CA. The plate linear projections 92A and the plate linear recesses 92B are alternately arranged in the axial direction. The plate-like elements 92 are elongated in the circumferential direction about the central axis CA. Each plate line element 92 includes plate unit elements 93 arranged two-dimensionally. The plate line element 92 includes a plurality of plate unit elements 93 respectively arranged in two non-parallel directions along the plate surface 91 . The plate unit element 93 is a plate unit convex portion 93A or a plate unit concave portion 93B. The plate unit convex portion 93A protrudes radially outward. The plate line-shaped recess 92B is recessed inward in the radial direction.

The plate surface 91 of the plate 90 is manufactured according to the linear pattern to be manufactured. First, multi-tone grayscale image data 95 for the linear pattern 35 is prepared. The multi-tone grayscale image data 95 is grayscale data. The multi-tone grayscale image data 95 is data of three or more tones. For example, the image data 95 can be prepared by scanning the linear pattern 35 to be manufactured in grayscale. FIG. 10 shows an example of the image data 95. As shown in FIG. Image data 95 shown in FIG. 10 is data relating to a hairline pattern.

Next, a pixel area 97 corresponding to each pixel 96 of the image data 95 is set. The pixel area 97 is an area on the metal plate forming the plate 90 and finally becomes an area on the plate surface 91 . A large number of pixel regions 97 are distributed in the same arrangement as the pixels 96 included in the image data 95 . Each pixel region 97 is then divided into a plurality of sub-regions 98, as shown in FIG. The number of sub-regions 98 corresponding to one pixel region 97 is not particularly limited. The number of sub-regions 98 corresponding to one pixel region 97 may be two, four, eight, or sixteen. Each subregion 98 is then assigned to either a first region 99a or a second region 99b. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the sub-region 98 displayed in white is set as the first area 99a. A sub-region 98 displayed in black and white is set as a second section 99b. The first area 99a and the second area 99b may be randomly allocated. The proportion of the first area in each pixel area 97 may be determined according to the gradation of the pixel. The proportion of the second area in each pixel area 97 may be determined according to the gradation of the pixel.

In an example where the image data 95 has 256 levels of gradation, if the gradation of the pixels 96 is 0 to 15, all 16 sub-regions 98 may be used as the first regions 99a. In an example where the image data 95 has 256 levels of gradation, if the gradation of the pixel 96 is 16 or more and 31 or less, one of the 16 sub-regions 98 may be used as the second region 99b. In an example where the image data 95 has 256 levels of gradation, if the gradation of the pixel 96 is 32 or more and 47 or less, one of the 16 sub-regions 98 may be used as the second region 99b. As the grayscale of a pixel increases from grayscale 0 to full grayscale, the percentage of the first area in each pixel region 97 corresponding to that pixel may vary from 0% to 100%.

As another example, as the gradation of a pixel increases from 0 gradation to the maximum gradation, the percentage of the first area in each pixel region 97 corresponding to that pixel is increased from 0% to 40% and from 60% to 100%. You can change it. That is, the ratio of the first area in the pixel area 97 may be set so as not to be within the range of more than 40% and less than 60%. As yet another example, as the gradation of a pixel increases from 0 to maximum gradation, the percentage of the first area in each pixel region 97 corresponding to that pixel may vary from 0% to 40%. . As the grayscale of a pixel increases from grayscale 0 to full grayscale, the proportion of the first area in each pixel region 97 corresponding to that pixel may vary from 60% to 100%. According to these examples, it is possible to obtain a plate used for producing the linear pattern layer 40 in which the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B is 40% or less or 60% or more. In other words, it is possible to obtain a plate used for producing the linear pattern layer 40 in which the arrangement ratio of the unit convex portions 48A is 40% or less or 60% or more.

This kind of processing corresponds to converting the grayscale to monochrome two-tone. Monochrome 2-gradation is not limited to the example described above, and an error diffusion method or a halftone screen may be employed. According to the error diffusion method, when the ratio of the first regions 99a is 40% or less, in other words, when the ratio of the second regions 99b is 60% or more, the first regions 99a are continuous along the arrangement direction. You can avoid it. Further, when the ratio of the first regions 99a is 60% or more, in other words, when the ratio of the second regions 99b is 40% or less, the second regions 99b can be made discontinuous along the arrangement direction. In this case, in the linear pattern layer 40 produced using the obtained plate, when the ratio of the unit recesses 48B is 40% or less, the unit recesses 48B are not continuous in the arrangement direction, or the ratio of the unit recesses 48B is is 60% or more, the unit convex portions 48A can be prevented from continuing in the arrangement direction.

As described above, the first area 99a and the second area 99b can be laid out in a region coextensive with the image data 95 of the linear pattern 35. Then, the metal surface that forms the plate surface 91 is etched in the same pattern as the arrangement pattern of the second areas 99b. A recess is not formed in the metal surface at a position corresponding to the first area 99a. The recesses at positions corresponding to the second areas 99b may be formed by etching using photolithography technology. A recess at a position corresponding to the second area 99b may be formed by laser drawing. The concave portions formed in this manner constitute the plate unit concave portions 93B included in each of the plate linear elements 92 of the printing plate surface 91 . A position corresponding to the first area 99a where no recess is formed constitutes a plate unit convex portion 93A included in each plate linear element 92 of the plate surface 91. As shown in FIG.

By forming the concave portions as described above, the unevenness of the plate surface 91 is produced. As an example, the metal surface forming the printing plate may be one main surface of a copper plate. A metal plate such as a copper plate constitutes the plate surface 91 by being attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical core. The surface of the copper plate may be chrome plated after the formation of the uneven surface is completed.

You may blast the metal surface on which the concave portion is formed. The blasting treatment is performed before the chrome plating treatment described above. By performing blasting, the unevenness of the plate surface 91 can be smoothed, and fine unevenness can be formed on the plate surface 91 . The pitch of the fine unevenness provided on the plate surface 91 may be shorter than the arrangement pitch of the plate-unit elements 93 . The height difference of the fine unevenness provided on the plate surface 91 may be smaller than the height difference of the plate unit elements 93 . The degree of fine unevenness can be adjusted by the type, size, and shape of the abrasive used in the blasting process, the ejection conditions of the abrasive, and the like. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 23, by providing fine unevenness to the plate surface 91, fine unevenness can be imparted to the surface of the linear element 45. FIG. The fine unevenness of the linear elements 45 can weaken the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear elements 45 . The minute unevenness of the linear elements 45 promotes the diffusion of light incident on the linear pattern layer 40, making the linear pattern 35 clearer.

The plate 90 is produced as described above. Next, using the produced plate, the decorative sheet 30 is produced.

In the example described below, the plate 90 is used to fabricate the resin imprint layer 80 . An uneven structure 81 obtained by transferring the unevenness of the plate surface 91 is provided to the resin imprinting layer 80 . Concavo-convex structure 81 has a configuration complementary to plate surface 91 . Specifically, the resin transfer layer 80 may be produced using the plate 90 as follows.

The plate 90 is rotated around the central axis CA. A long base material 70 is supplied toward the plate 90 . As shown in FIG. 12, an uncured curable resin composition is supplied between the substrate 70 and the plate 90 . As the substrate 70, a resin film such as a polyethylene terephthalate film may be used. As the curable resin composition, an ionizing radiation curable resin composition is exemplified. Examples of ionizing radiation-curable resin compositions include ultraviolet-curable resin compositions and electron beam-curable resin compositions. The curable resin composition is cured between the plate 90 and the substrate 70 . For example, the ultraviolet curable resin composition is irradiated with ultraviolet rays that have passed through the base material 70 . The electron beam that has passed through the substrate 70 is applied to the electron beam curable resin composition. A resin transfer layer 80 is produced from the cured product of the curable resin composition. The resin imprinting layer 80 is bonded to the base material 70 .

The resin imprint layer 80 includes a plurality of second linear elements 82 corresponding to the plate linear elements 92 . The second linear elements 82 are formed corresponding to the plate linear elements 92 . The plurality of second linear elements 82 are arranged in one direction. Each second linear element 82 elongates in the other direction orthogonal to the one direction. The second linear element 82 is a second linear protrusion 82A or a second linear recess 82B. A second linear concave portion 82B is formed corresponding to the plate linear convex portion 92A. A second linear protrusion 82A is formed corresponding to the plate linear recess 92B. The second linear protrusions 82A and the second linear recesses 82B are alternately arranged in one direction.

Each second linear element 82 includes second unit elements 83 arranged two-dimensionally. That is, each second linear element 82 includes a plurality of second unit elements 83 arranged in two non-parallel directions. The second unit element 83 is a second unit convex portion 83A or a second unit concave portion 83B. A second unit concave portion 83B is formed corresponding to the plate unit convex portion 93A. A second unit convex portion 83A is formed corresponding to the plate unit concave portion 93B.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, the base material 70 is separated from the plate surface 91 of the plate 90. The resin imprint layer 80 includes a sheet-like land portion 84 bonded to the base material 70 . The land portion 84 is formed integrally with the second linear convex portion 82A. The land portion 84 is exposed between the two second linear convex portions 82A at the position where the second linear concave portion 82B is provided. The land portion 84 is formed integrally with the second unit convex portion 83A. The land portion 84 is exposed between the two second unit recesses 83B at the position where the second unit recesses 83B are provided.

After that, as shown in FIG. 13, the first resin composition is supplied to the surface of the resin transfer layer 80 peeled off from the plate 90 that was in contact with the plate 90 to form a coating film of the first resin composition. do. The coating layer 72 is formed by drying or curing the coating film of the first resin composition. Concavities and convexities corresponding to the concavo-convex structure 81 of the resin imprinting layer 80 remain on the surface of the coating layer 72 . The coating layer 72 may contain a thermoplastic resin. The coating layer 72 may contain a cured product of a curable resin composition. The curable resin composition may be a thermosetting resin composition or an ionizing radiation curable resin composition. Examples of ionizing radiation-curable resin compositions include ultraviolet-curable resin compositions and electron beam-curable resin compositions. The coating layer 72 may contain a material having releasability such as silicone. The coating layer 72 functions as a release layer 73 by containing the peelable material. However, the production of the coating layer 72 may be omitted and the linear pattern layer 40 may be formed on the resin imprinting layer 80 .

According to the coating layer 72 covering the uneven structure 81 of the resin imprint layer 80, the uneven structure 41 of the linear pattern layer 40 produced by transferring the uneven structure 81 of the resin imprint layer 80 can be smoothed. The smoothness of the uneven structure 41 can be adjusted by the thickness of the coating layer 72, the viscosity of the first resin composition, the drying speed, the curing speed, and the like. By smoothing the concave-convex structure 41 , the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear elements 45 can be weakened in the linear pattern layer 40 produced using the resin imprinting layer 80 . By smoothing the concave-convex structure 41, in the linear pattern layer 40 produced using the resin imprinting layer 80, diffusion of incident light to the linear pattern layer 40 is facilitated, and the linear pattern 35 becomes clearer. can be done. The thickness of the coating layer 72 may be 5% or more, 10% or more, 20% or more, or 30% or more of the height difference of the uneven structure 81 of the resin molding layer 80 . By setting the thickness of the coating layer 72 to be 5% or more of the height difference of the uneven structure 81, the lens effect and the light guiding action of the linear elements 45 can be weakened. By setting the thickness of the coating layer 72 to be 5% or more of the height difference of the concave-convex structure 81, the diffusion of incident light to the linear pattern layer 40 can be promoted and the linear pattern 35 can be made clearer.

Next, as shown in FIG. 14, a second resin composition is supplied onto the resin imprinting layer 80 and the coating layer 72 to form a coating film of the second resin composition. The second resin composition may be a curable resin composition. The curable resin composition may be a thermosetting resin composition or an ionizing radiation curable resin composition. Examples of ionizing radiation-curable resin compositions include ultraviolet-curable resin compositions and electron beam-curable resin compositions. The curable resin composition is cured on the resin transfer layer 80 and the coating layer 72 . The linear pattern layer 40 is produced from the cured product of the curable resin composition. The curing treatment of the curable resin composition at this timing may be complete curing or semi-curing. If the effect treatment at this timing is semi-curing, the curing treatment may be performed at any later timing. The produced linear pattern layer 40 is bonded to the resin imprinting layer 80 or the coating layer 72 .

A concave-convex structure 41 corresponding to the concave-convex structure 81 of the resin molding layer 80 is applied to the linear pattern layer 40 . Linear elements 45 of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second linear elements 82 . Linear recesses 45B of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second linear protrusions 82A. Linear protrusions 45A of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second linear recesses 82B. A unit element 48 of the linear pattern layer 40 is formed corresponding to the second unit element 83 . A unit concave portion 48B of the linear pattern layer 40 is formed corresponding to the second unit convex portion 83A. Unit convex portions 48A of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second unit concave portions 83B.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, the base portion 43 is also formed by the cured product of the curable resin composition. The base portion 43 is formed integrally with the linear convex portion 45A. The base portion 43 is exposed between the two linear convex portions 45A at the position where the linear concave portion 45B is provided. The base portion 43 is formed integrally with the unit convex portion 48A. The base portion 43 is exposed between the two unit convex portions 48A at the position where the unit concave portion 48B is provided.

The linear pattern layer 40 may contain a cured product of an electron beam curable resin composition. For example, the second resin composition may be an electron beam curable resin composition. The linear pattern layer 40 containing the cured product of the electron beam curable resin composition has excellent durability. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the surface of the linear pattern layer 40 including the fine uneven structure 41 from flattening due to long-term use.

The linear pattern layer 40 containing the cured product of the electron beam curable resin composition may contain an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer in order to further improve durability. For example, the second resin composition may contain an electron beam-curable resin composition and at least one of an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer. In addition, the ultraviolet curable resin composition cannot contain an ultraviolet absorber depending on its curing process. Therefore, unlike the linear pattern layer containing the cured product of the ultraviolet curable resin composition, the linear pattern layer containing the cured product of the electron beam curable resin composition can contain an ultraviolet absorber. The linear pattern layer 40 containing an ultraviolet absorber can further improve durability and suppress flattening during long-term use. Examples of ultraviolet absorbers include benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorbers, benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorbers, triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers, and hydroxyphenyltriazine-based ultraviolet absorbers. Examples of light stabilizers include hindered amine light stabilizers such as piperidinyl sebacate light stabilizers.

After that, as shown in FIG. 15, a bonding layer 62 is formed over the linear pattern layer 40 . The bonding layer 62 may be produced by supplying a resin composition onto the linear pattern layer 40 to form a coating film of the resin composition, and drying or curing the coating film. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 16, the design layer 60 is formed over the bonding layer 62 . The design layer 60 may be formed by gravure printing, screen printing, or thermal transfer printing using an ink ribbon.

As described above, the decorative sheet 30 is formed over the resin molding layer 80 . The decorative sheet 30 is bonded to the resin molding layer 80 and the coating layer 72 . The decorative sheet 30 constitutes the decorative sheet laminate 25 together with the resin imprint layer 80 . In the illustrated example, the decorative sheet laminate 25 includes the decorative sheet 30, the coating layer 72, the resin molding layer 80 and the substrate 70 in order in the third direction D3. Next, the decorative member 20 is produced using the decorative sheet 30 .

An injection molding device 110 is prepared as shown in FIG. Injection molding apparatus 110 includes mold 111 . Mold 111 includes a first mold 111A and a second mold 111B. The first mold 111A and the second mold 111B can be separated from each other as shown in FIG. 17 and can be close to each other as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, a cavity 112 is formed between the first die 111A and the second die 111B in the closed state in which the first die 111A and the second die 111B are in contact with each other. Mold 111 has a gate 113 leading to cavity 112 . The gate 113 is connected to a supply device for the injection resin 114 (not shown). An injection resin 114 is supplied into the cavity 112 through the gate 113 . The first mold 111A and the second mold 111B are heated by a heater (not shown) and maintained at a high temperature.

As shown in FIG. 18, the decorative sheet laminate 25 is accommodated in the cavity 112 within the molding die 111 . In the illustrated example, the decorative sheet laminate 25 is arranged in the second mold 111B such that the decorative sheet 30 is exposed in the cavity 112. As shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 19, molten injection resin 114 is injected into cavity 112 through gate 113 . The injected resin 114 is cooled in the cavity 112, welded to the decorative sheet 30 and solidified. The thermoplastic resin portion 64 joined to the decorative sheet 30 is obtained from the solidified injected resin 114 . The material of the thermoplastic resin portion 64 is as described above.

After that, as shown in FIG. 20, the first die 111A and the second die 111B are separated from each other. The thermoplastic resin portion 64 is joined to the first mold 111A. On the other hand, the base material 70 may be fixed to the second mold 111B. According to this example, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the base material 70 and the resin transfer layer 80 are separated from the decorative sheet 30 as the first mold 111A and the second mold 111B are separated. . Peeling is promoted by the coating layer 72 functioning as a release layer 73 .

As described above, the decorative sheet 30 and the decorative member 20 are manufactured. When the linear pattern layer 40 is produced in a semi-cured state, the linear pattern layer 40 may be hardened on the decorative member 20 removed from the mold 111 . After forming at least one of the bonding layer 62 and the design layer 60, the linear pattern layer 40 may be cured.

Instead of the injection molding process shown in FIGS. 17 to 20, the decorative sheet 30 may be produced from the decorative sheet laminate 25 by the injection molding process shown in FIGS. 29A to 29D. In this injection molding process, a pattern laminate 26 is formed on the decorative sheet laminate 25 as shown in FIG. 29A. The pattern laminate 26 is formed on the surface of the decorative sheet laminate 25 opposite to the decorative sheet 30 . In the illustrated example, patterned laminate 26 is formed on the surface of substrate 70 . The pattern laminate 26 may be made by printing, eg silk printing. Pattern laminate 26 covers only a portion of the surface of substrate 70 . The thickness of the pattern laminate 26 may be 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less. Subsequent steps may be the same as the steps described above. That is, as shown in FIG. 29B, the decorative sheet laminate 25 including the pattern laminate 26 may be arranged in the cavity 112. As shown in FIG. Injected resin 114 may be injected into cavity 112, as shown in FIG. 29C. In this example, the thermoplastic resin portion 64 joined to the decorative sheet 30 is produced from the injection resin 114 . As shown in FIG. 29D, the separation of the first die 111A and the second die 111B separates the decorative sheet 30 from the decorative sheet laminate 25, and the decorative member including the decorative sheet 30 and the thermoplastic resin portion 64 is removed. 20 is obtained.

As shown in FIG. 29C, when the injection resin 114 is injected into the cavity 112, the injection resin 114 presses the decorative sheet laminate 25 toward the second mold 111B. As a result, the surface of the decorative sheet laminate 25 on which the pattern laminate 26 is provided is flattened along the second die 111B, and unevenness corresponding to the pattern of the pattern laminate 26 is formed on the decorative sheet 30. . The thermoplastic resin portion 64 is joined to the decorative sheet 30 including unevenness corresponding to the pattern of the pattern laminate 26 . As shown in FIG. 29D , concave portions 27 are formed in a pattern corresponding to the pattern laminate 26 in the linear pattern layer 40 of the obtained decorative member 20 . In other words, the decorative member 20 can express two types of unevenness: large unevenness due to the concave portions 27 and fine unevenness due to the linear pattern layer 40 . That is, the decorative sheet 30 can express a delicate and complicated design.

The depth of the concave portion 27 may be 5 μm or more, 10 μm or more, or 20 μm or more. The depth of the concave portion 27 may be 50 μm or less, 40 μm or less, or 30 μm or less. The depth of the concave portions 27 may be two times or more, three times or more, or four times or more the height difference of the unevenness caused by the linear elements 45 in the linear pattern layer 40 . The depth of the recesses 27 may be 10 times or less, 8 times or less, or 6 times or less the height difference of the unevenness caused by the linear elements 45 in the linear pattern layer 40 .

The pitch of the concave portions 27 along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 20 μm or more, 50 μm or more, or 100 μm or more. The pitch of the concave portions 27 along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 3000 μm or less, 1000 μm or less, or 300 μm or less. The pitch of the concave portions 27 along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be twice or more, three times or more, or five times or more the arrangement pitch of the linear elements 45 in the arrangement direction. The pitch of the concave portions 27 along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 10 times or less, 8 times or less, or 6 times or less than the arrangement pitch of the linear elements 45 in the arrangement direction.

The actions of the illustrated display system 10, decorative member 20, and decorative sheet 30 will be described.

When the light source device 12 or the display device 16 is in a non-operating state, the decorative member 20 covering the light source device 12 or the display device 16 is observed as shown in FIG. The decorative sheet 30 of the decorative member 20 includes a linear pattern layer 40 displaying the linear pattern 35. As shown in FIG. The decorative sheet 30 of the decorative member 20 includes a design layer 60 that displays designs such as patterns and colors. The design of the design layer 60 is observed through the linear pattern layer 40 . The observer observes the linear pattern 35 of the linear pattern layer 40 and the design of the design layer 60 overlapping each other. For example, along with the dark color due to the design layer 60, the linear pattern 35 due to the linear pattern layer 40 is observed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the decorative sheet 30 displays a linear pattern imitating a hairline pattern produced by subjecting a metal plate to hairline processing and coloring. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the decorative sheet 30 displays a linear pattern imitating a spin pattern produced by spinning and coloring a metal plate.

In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the decorative sheet 30 displays linear elements imitating a wood grain pattern. In the example shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the decorative sheet 30 displays linear elements imitating a textile pattern. In the example shown in FIG. 5C, the decorative sheet 30 displays a denim pattern as an example of a cloth pattern. In the example shown in FIG. 5D, the decorative sheet 30 displays a carbon pattern. The decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 can be applied to automobile interiors, building interiors, furniture, home electric appliances, and the like, where design is important.

The light source device 12 or the display device 16 can be hidden by a decorative sheet 30 displaying a linear pattern in a non-operating state. The display system 10 including the decorative sheet 30 can be applied to interiors of automobiles, interiors of buildings, furniture, home electric appliances, etc., where design is important.

When the light source device 12 is turned on in the operating state, light is emitted from the light emitting surface 12a. Light emitted from the light emitting surface 12 a enters the decorative member 20 . The decorative member 20 includes a light shielding pattern sheet 66. As shown in FIG. The light shielding area 66 a of the light shielding pattern sheet 66 shields the light from the light source device 12 . The transmissive region 66b allows the light from the light source device 12 to pass therethrough. The combination of the light source device 12 and the light shielding pattern sheet 66 forms an image 100 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the transmissive area 66b. Image light forming this image passes through the decorative sheet 30 . An image 100 is viewed by image light emitted from the display system 10 . In the example shown in FIG. 4, display system 10 displays cross, triangle and square marks as image 100 .

In the display system 10 shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the display device 16 including the light source device 12 forms image light. Image light emitted from the display surface 16 a passes through the decorative sheet 30 . Thereby, the display system 10 displays the image observed by the observer.

Until now, studies have been conducted to express the texture of hairline patterns and spin patterns formed by metal plates using decorative resin sheets. As proposed in Patent Document 1 (JP-A-2010-52353) and Patent Document 2 (JP-A-2008-89479), conventional decorative sheets are composed of linear projections or linear recesses. contains a linear element with The linear elements are arranged in a direction perpendicular to their longitudinal direction. Linear elements can be made by resin molding such as embossing.

However, when an image is observed through such a conventional decorative sheet, blurring 101 occurs in the contour of the image, and the contour of the image 100 becomes unclear. As shown in FIG. 45, bleeding 101 is a phenomenon in which light leaks to the outside of the area where the image 100 is to be displayed, making the area slightly brighter. In the example shown in Figure 45, the image 100 to be displayed is square shaped. In the example shown in FIG. 45, blurring 101 occurs around image 100 . That is, the bleeding 101 occurs in a region adjacent to the image 100 in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). Bleeding 101 also occurs in a region adjacent to image 100 in the longitudinal direction of linear element 45 (first direction D1 in the illustrated example). When bleeding 101 occurs, the outline of the image becomes unclear and the image becomes blurred. Conventional decorative sheets cannot display sharp images.

As a result of extensive studies by the inventors, it was estimated that the following matter is one of the causes of bleeding 101. In the conventional decorative sheet, the linear elements have steep side walls in the normal direction of the decorative sheet. In the decorative sheet produced by resin molding, the outer contour of the side wall is slightly inclined and curved. As a result, the sidewalls can exert a lens effect on the light emitted from the linear element through the sidewalls. It was presumed that the light emitted from the linear elements in the arrangement direction is condensed to some extent by the lens effect on the side wall, and can be observed as blurring 101 spreading in the arrangement direction of the linear elements with respect to the image 100 .

Each linear element includes a pair of side walls that face each other in the arrangement direction. If the sidewalls rise in the normal direction, the light traveling through the linear element can repeatedly reflect, especially total internal reflection, at the sidewalls. In this way, the image light travels through the linear element in the longitudinal direction of the linear element. It was speculated that the image light spreads along the linear element due to the light guide action in the linear element, and can be observed as blurring 101 that spreads in the longitudinal direction of the linear element with respect to the image 100 .

In the decorative sheet 30 of the first embodiment, the linear pattern layer 40 includes multiple linear elements 45 . The plurality of linear elements 45 are arranged in one direction, which is the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). Each linear element 45 elongates in the other direction, which is the longitudinal direction (the first direction D1 in the illustrated example) perpendicular to the arrangement direction. The linear element 45 includes unit elements 48 arranged two-dimensionally. The unit element 48 is a unit convex portion 48A or a unit concave portion 48B. A linear element 45, which is an assembly of a plurality of unit elements 48, becomes a linear convex portion 45A or a linear concave portion 45B depending on its average height.

According to the first embodiment, the linear elements 45 do not include sidewalls extending in the longitudinal direction and facing the arrangement direction. The elongated sidewalls can have a lens effect on the image light. According to the first embodiment, the side walls 42B facing the arrangement direction are dispersed in two directions within each linear element 45 according to the two-dimensional arrangement of the unit elements 48. FIG. In other words, the sidewalls 42B facing the arrangement direction are dispersed within the linear regions 46 where the linear elements 45 are located. Therefore, the linear elements 45 are prevented from condensing the image light and guiding it in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . That is, the lens effect on the side wall of the linear element 45 with respect to the image light is weakened. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of bleeding 101 that spreads from the image 100 in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . The outline of the image 100 facing the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 can be made clear.

According to the first embodiment, the linear elements 45 do not include sidewalls extending in the longitudinal direction and facing the arrangement direction. That is, the linear element 45 does not include a pair of side walls that can guide image light. The side walls 42B facing the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 are dispersed in two directions within each linear element 45 according to the two-dimensional arrangement of the unit elements 48 . Similarly, the side walls 42A facing the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 are distributed in two directions within each linear element 45 according to the two-dimensional arrangement of the unit elements 48. FIG. In other words, the side walls 42A facing the longitudinal direction are distributed within the linear regions 46 where the linear elements 45 are located, as are the side walls 42B facing the arrangement direction. Thereby, the light guiding action by the linear element 45 can be weakened. In addition, the linear element 45 includes side walls 42A non-parallel to the longitudinal direction at the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction, in other words, other than at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The side wall 42A regulates the light guiding action of the linear element 45. As shown in FIG. In this way, the light guiding action of the linear element 45 due to repeated reflection between the pair of side walls is weakened. This can suppress the occurrence of blurring 101 spreading from the image 100 in the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 . The outline of the image 100 facing the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 can be clarified.

The wall inclination angles θ1 and θ2 (see FIG. 8) specified in the cross section along the arrangement direction of the unit elements 48 may be 66° or more, 73° or more, or 76° or more. It may be 90° as in the example shown in 7B. By setting the angle in this way, it is possible to effectively limit the light guide by the linear elements 45 and effectively suppress the bleeding 101 of the image 100 that occurs in the longitudinal direction of the linear elements 45 .

As described above, according to the decorative sheet 30 according to the first embodiment, blurring of the outline of the image can be suppressed in the operating state of the light source device 12 or the display device 16 . As a result, the outline of the image becomes clear, and blurring of the outline of the image can be suppressed. Display system 10 is capable of displaying sharp images.

Also, in the first place, conventional decorative sheets containing linear elements composed of linear projections or linear recesses could not display linear patterns sufficiently clearly. Conventional decorative sheets have a problem that linear patterns are difficult to recognize. A linear element composed of linear protrusions or linear recesses has reflection directivity. A linear pattern of a conventional decorative sheet is observed by an observer by reflecting light incident on the linear pattern from a specific direction toward the observer. Therefore, if the amount of light incident on the linear pattern from a specific direction and directed toward the observer is small, the observer cannot clearly observe the linear pattern. That is, the linear pattern cannot be clearly observed depending on the observation angle, the environmental conditions such as the arrangement of the external light source, the observation angle, and the like. Conventional decorative sheets cannot express metallic luster because reflection is insufficient. As a result, conventional decorative sheets cannot sufficiently reproduce the texture of linear patterns such as hairline patterns and spin patterns using metal plates.

On the other hand, according to the decorative sheet 30 of the first embodiment, the linear pattern layer 40 includes multiple linear elements 45 . Each linear element 45 is arranged in a linear region 46 . Each linear region 46 is an elongated region. Each linear element 45 also elongates. This linear element 45 includes unit elements 48 . Each unit element 48 is either a unit convex portion 48A or a unit concave portion 48B. The arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B may be different between two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in one direction, which is the arrangement direction. Due to the difference in arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B, each linear element 45 can be distinguished from other adjacent linear elements 45 and can be recognized as the linear element 45 by the observer. The ten-point average roughness Rz of the linear elements 45 along the longitudinal direction may be different between two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in one direction, which is the arrangement direction. Due to the difference in Rz of the linear elements 45, each linear element 45 can be distinguished from other adjacent linear elements 45 and can be recognized as the linear elements 45 by the observer. By identifying the linear elements 45 in this way, the linear pattern 35 can be observed.

Then, according to the first embodiment, the unit elements 48 are arranged two-dimensionally within the linear element 45 . In other words, the unit regions 49 are arranged two-dimensionally within the linear region 46 . Linear element 45 includes sidewalls 42 distributed along its length. The linear elements 45 include sidewalls 42 dispersed in the direction of their arrangement. Therefore, light incident on the decorative sheet 30 from various directions can be reflected by the linear pattern layer 40 toward the viewer. An observer can observe the linear patterns 35 of the linear pattern layer 40 by using ambient light incident on the decorative sheet 30 from various directions. Therefore, the linear pattern 35 of the linear pattern layer 40 can be brightly and clearly observed regardless of the incident direction of the ambient light depending on the external light source or the like, that is, regardless of the environmental conditions. Similarly, ambient light incident on the decorative sheet 30 is reflected in various directions. Therefore, the linear pattern 35 of the linear pattern layer 40 can be observed brightly and clearly regardless of the viewing position. As a result, the linear pattern layer 40 using resin has an excellent glossy feeling, and the decorative sheet 30 can sufficiently express the metallic texture.

In the specific example described above, the maximum length of the unit element 48 may be 1 μm or longer, 2 μm or longer, or 4 μm or longer. The maximum length of the unit element 48 may be 200 μm or less, 100 μm or less, or 50 μm or less. The maximum length of the unit element 48 is the maximum length when projected in the third direction D3.

From the viewpoint of suppressing bleeding 101 and making the linear pattern 35 clearly observable, the side walls 42 formed by the unit elements 48 are inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30. may The wall portion inclination angles θ1 and θ2 (see FIG. 8) may be 66° or more, 73° or more, or 76° or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 22, the unit element 48 of the linear element 45 has a shape obtained by chamfering a unit convex portion 48A and a unit concave portion 48B having a rectangular cross section indicated by dotted lines. A unit element 48 of the linear element 45 shown in FIG. 22 is a gently curved unit convex portion 48A or unit concave portion 48B. The linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 22 can be produced by resin molding using the resin molding layer 80 provided with the coating layer 72 in the manufacturing method described above. Also, the angle formed by the side walls 42 with respect to the normal direction can be adjusted by the thickness of the coating layer 72 . As shown in FIG. 22, by inclining the side walls 42 formed by the unit elements 48 with respect to the normal line direction of the decorative sheet 30, the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear elements can be weakened. can. In addition, by inclining the side wall 42 formed by the unit elements 48 with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30, the light reflected by the linear elements 45 is directed in various directions, and the linear pattern is formed. 35 can be clearly observed.

From the viewpoint of suppressing bleeding 101 and making the linear pattern 35 clearly visible, the surface of the linear pattern layer 40 may be formed with fine unevenness. FIG. 23 shows an example in which the surface of the linear pattern layer 40 is roughened to provide fine unevenness. In the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 23, similarly to the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 22, the cross-sectional rectangular unit convex portions 48A and unit concave portions 48B indicated by the dotted lines are made smooth. have. Furthermore, the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 23 has fine irregularities on its surface. However, fine irregularities may be provided to the unit convex portions 48A and the unit concave portions 48B having rectangular cross-sections indicated by dotted lines. The pitch of fine unevenness may be shorter than the arrangement pitch of the unit elements 48 . The fine unevenness is arranged in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). The fine unevenness may be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 (the first direction D1 in the illustrated example). The height difference of fine unevenness may be smaller than the height difference of the unit elements 48 . The fine unevenness shown in FIG. 23 can be produced by blasting the plate 90 in the manufacturing method described above. The degree of fine unevenness can be adjusted by the type, size, and shape of the abrasive used in the blasting process, the ejection conditions of the abrasive, and the like. As shown in FIG. 23, by providing fine unevenness to the surface of the linear element 45, the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear element can be effectively weakened. By providing fine unevenness to the surface of the linear elements 45, the reflected light from the linear elements 45 is directed in various directions, and the linear pattern 35 can be clearly observed.

By setting a lower limit to the maximum length of the unit element 48, ambient light is efficiently diffusely reflected, and the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed. As a result, the linear pattern layer 40 using the resin has excellent gloss and can express a texture similar to that of metal. The maximum length of the unit element 48, the unit convex portion 48A, and the unit concave portion 48B may be 1 μm or longer, 2 μm or longer, 4 μm or longer, or 6 μm or longer.

By setting an upper limit to the maximum length of the unit elements 48, observation of individual unit elements 48 is suppressed, and linear elements are observed as a continuous line. Further, by setting an upper limit to the maximum length of the unit elements 48, it is possible to effectively suppress the light guide action and lens effect of the linear elements 45, and effectively suppress blurring of the outline of the image. By setting an upper limit to the maximum length of the unit convex portion 48A or the unit concave portion 48B, it is possible to suppress the individual unit convex portion 48A or the unit concave portion 48B from being observed. The maximum length of the unit element 48, the unit convex portion 48A and the unit concave portion 48B may be 50 μm or less, 40 μm or less, 30 μm or less, or 25 μm or less.

In the specific example described above, the height difference of the uneven structure 41 formed by the unit elements 48 may be 0.3 μm or more, 0.5 μm or more, or 1 μm or more. The height difference of the uneven structure 41 formed by the unit elements 48 may be 0.20 μm or less, 10 μm or less, or 5 μm or less. The height difference of the uneven structure 41 is the difference between the highest position and the lowest position along the third direction D3. By setting a lower limit for the height difference of the uneven structure 41, ambient light is diffusely reflected efficiently, and the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed. As a result, the linear pattern layer 40 using the resin has excellent glossiness and can express a texture similar to that of metal. By setting an upper limit for the height difference of the uneven structure 41, it is possible to suppress the individual unit elements 48 from being observed.

In the first embodiment described above, the decorative sheet 30 includes the linear pattern layer 40. Linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 . The total light transmittance of the decorative sheet 30 is 5% or more and 90% or less. Each linear element 45 includes unit elements 48 arranged two-dimensionally. The two-dimensionally arranged unit elements 48 can suppress the light guiding action and lens effect of the linear elements 45 . It is possible to suppress blurring of the contour of the image 100 . Therefore, by using the decorative sheet 30, a sharp image can be displayed.

In the first embodiment described above, the decorative sheet 30 includes the linear pattern layer 40. Linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 . The total light transmittance of the decorative sheet 30 is 5% or more and 90% or less. The linear element 45 includes, at its longitudinal intermediate portion, side walls 42A non-parallel to the longitudinal direction, in other words side walls 42A facing the longitudinal direction. The side wall 42A that is positioned at the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 and that is non-parallel to the longitudinal direction can suppress the light guiding action and lens effect of the linear element 45 . It is possible to suppress blurring of the contour of the image 100 . Therefore, by using the decorative sheet 30, a sharp image can be displayed.

In the first embodiment described above, the decorative sheet 30 includes the linear pattern layer 40. The linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 arranged in one direction. Each linear element 45 extends in the other direction perpendicular to the one direction. Each linear element 45 includes unit elements 48 arranged two-dimensionally. The unit element 48 is a unit convex portion 48A or a unit concave portion 48B. The arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B differs between two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in one direction. Adjacent linear elements 45 are distinguished from each other because the arrangement ratio of the unit concave portions 48B is different. The two-dimensionally arranged unit elements 48 can reflect light from various directions toward the observer. Therefore, the ambient light can be effectively used to clearly observe the linear pattern 35 as a set of linear elements 45 . Since the linear pattern layer 40 using resin can express various glossiness, it is possible to reproduce the texture similar to the texture of metal, the texture of natural objects such as grain patterns, the texture of cloth, and the like.

In the first embodiment described above, the decorative sheet 30 includes the linear pattern layer 40. The linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 arranged in one direction. Each linear element 45 extends in the other direction perpendicular to the one direction. Each linear element 45 includes unit elements 48 arranged two-dimensionally. The unit element 48 is a unit convex portion 48A or a unit concave portion 48B. Between two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in one direction, the ten-point average roughness Rz along the other direction of the linear element 45 is different. Rz of the linear element 45 is the ten-point average roughness Rz specified in JISB0601-1994. Since the ten-point average roughness Rz of the linear elements 45 is different, the diffuse reflectance of each linear element 45 is different. Therefore, adjacent linear elements 45 express different matte or glossy textures and are distinguished from each other. Therefore, the ambient light can be effectively used to clearly observe the linear pattern 35 as a set of linear elements 45 . Since the linear pattern layer 40 using resin can express various glossiness, it is possible to reproduce the texture similar to the texture of metal, the texture of natural objects such as grain patterns, the texture of cloth, and the like.

In the first embodiment described above, the decorative sheet 30 includes the linear pattern layer 40. The linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 arranged in one direction. Each linear element 45 extends in the other direction perpendicular to the one direction. Each linear element 45 includes unit elements 48 arranged two-dimensionally. The unit element 48 is a unit convex portion 48A or a unit concave portion 48B. Two linear elements 45 adjacent to each other in one direction have different average heights. Adjacent linear elements 45 are distinguished from each other by the different average heights. The two-dimensionally arranged unit elements 48 can reflect light from various directions toward the observer. Therefore, the ambient light can be effectively used to clearly observe the linear pattern 35 as a set of linear elements 45 . Since the linear pattern layer 40 using resin can express various glossiness, it is possible to reproduce the texture similar to the texture of metal, the texture of natural objects such as grain patterns, the texture of cloth, and the like.

The linear pattern layer 40 may include a concavo-convex base layer containing the plurality of linear elements described above, and a protective layer laminated on the concavo-convex base layer. The protective layer may be thinly formed along the uneven surface of the uneven base layer. The protective layer may be provided so as to fill the uneven surface of the uneven base layer so as to form a refractive index interface with the uneven base layer. The protective layer may be a hard coat layer containing a cured product of a curable resin composition.

A decorative sheet was produced by peeling off the resin film.

<Example 1>
The above-described method described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 was used to prepare the plate. The image data shown in FIG. 10 was used as the hairline pattern to be manufactured. The image data shown in FIG. 10 are image data of a hairline sheet produced by marking a polyethylene terephthalate film.

　The image data was converted to monochrome 2 gradation using the error diffusion method using Adobe Photoshop 2021. The input image data was 3200 pixels/inch and the output was also 3200 pixels/inch. Then, by changing 3200 pixels/inch to 12800 pixels/inch, the arrangement pattern of the first area and the second area was created. The width along the arrangement direction of the linear elements was about 40 to 100 μm.

A concave portion was formed on the surface of the metal plate according to the arrangement pattern of the second area. The recess was formed by etching using a photolithographic technique. A copper plate was used as the metal plate. After forming the recesses, the surface of the copper plate was plated with chrome.

Each plate-like element was either a plate-like protrusion or a plate-like recess. Each plate-like element contained a two-dimensional array of plate-unit elements. The plate unit elements were plate unit protrusions located in the first areas or plate unit recesses located in the second areas. The plate-like elements were arranged in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like elements and in the arranging direction of the plate-like elements. The plate-like element had a side wall facing the longitudinal direction of the plate-like element and a side wall facing the arrangement direction of the plate-like element.

The above-described manufacturing method described with reference to FIG. 12 was adopted for manufacturing the laminate including the substrate and the resin transfer layer using a plate.

The manufactured resin-imparted layer had the structure described above. That is, the manufactured resin-imprinted layer contained a plurality of second linear elements. Each second linear element was either a second linear protrusion or a second linear recess. Each second linear element contained a two-dimensional array of second unit elements. The second unit element was the second unit protrusion or the second unit recess. The second unit elements were arranged in the longitudinal direction of the second linear elements and in the arrangement direction of the second linear elements. The second unit element had a side wall facing the longitudinal direction of the second linear element and a side wall facing the arrangement direction of the second linear element.

The manufacturing method described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16 was adopted for manufacturing the decorative sheet laminate. The linear pattern layer was produced using an ultraviolet curable resin. The joining layer was produced using a thermoplastic resin. The design layer was produced by printing. The design layer was a uniform black layer. The produced linear pattern layer had the structure described above. That is, the produced linear pattern layer contained a plurality of linear elements. Each linear element was a linear protrusion or a linear depression. Each linear element contained a two-dimensional array of unit elements. A unit element was a unit convex portion or a unit concave portion. The unit elements were arranged in the longitudinal direction of the linear elements and in the arrangement direction of the linear elements. The unit element had a side wall facing the longitudinal direction of the linear elements and a side wall facing the arrangement direction of the linear elements. The arrangement ratio of unit recesses was different between two linear elements adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction. The average height was different between two linear elements adjacent to each other in the array direction. The maximum length of the unit element of the linear pattern layer was about 50 μm. The height difference of the concave-convex structure of the unit element of the linear pattern layer was about 3 μm.

<Example 2>
The manufacturing method of the decorative sheet according to Example 2 is different from that of Example 1 except that the metal plate having the recesses formed therein is blasted when the plate is produced, and the metal plate after blasting is chromium plated. It was different from the manufacturing method of the decorative sheet. Except for the blasting treatment, the decorative sheet according to Example 2 employs the same manufacturing method and manufacturing conditions as those of the decorative sheet according to Example 1. In Example 2, fine irregularities due to blasting were formed on the plate surface of the plate, the irregular structure of the resin imprinting layer, and the irregular structure of the linear pattern layer.

<Example 3>
The manufacturing method of the decorative sheet according to Example 3 was different from the manufacturing method of the decorative sheet according to Example 2 only in the blasting conditions. The method for manufacturing the decorative sheet according to Example 3 was the same as the method for manufacturing the decorative sheet according to Example 2, except for the blasting conditions. The blasting conditions employed in Example 3 were more severe than the blasting conditions employed in Example 2.

<Comparative Example 1>
In Comparative Example 1, instead of the laminate of the substrate and the resin imprinting layer, a resin film whose surface was scratched with sandpaper was prepared. The resin film was produced by scribing the surface of a polyethylene terephthalate film having a thickness of 50 μm. A linear pattern layer, a bonding layer and a design layer were formed on the resin film to obtain a decorative sheet laminate. The method for producing the linear pattern layer, the bonding layer, and the design layer includes the method, method, conditions, and materials for producing the linear pattern layer, the bonding layer, and the design layer on the resin molding layer in Example 1. assumed to be the same. A decorative sheet according to Comparative Example 1 was obtained by peeling off the resin film from the decorative sheet laminate. The linear pattern layer of the decorative sheet of Comparative Example 1 had a plurality of linear elements. The length along the longitudinal direction of the linear element was approximately the same as the length along the longitudinal direction of the linear element forming the hairline pattern to be manufactured shown in FIG. The width along the arrangement direction of the linear elements was approximately the same as the width along the arrangement direction of the linear elements forming the hairline pattern to be manufactured shown in FIG.

<Comparative Example 2>
The decorative sheet manufacturing method according to Comparative Example 2 differs from the decorative sheet manufacturing method according to Example 1 only in that the image data shown in FIG. 10 is binarized. In Comparative Example 2, since the image data is binarized, the plate line-shaped elements of the plate are plate line-shaped convex portions having a substantially constant height, or plate line-shaped concave portions having a substantially constant height. became. That is, the plate linear elements did not contain two-dimensionally arranged plate unit elements. In Comparative Example 2, the resin-imparted layer had a plurality of second linear elements with substantially constant heights. The second linear elements did not include second unit elements arranged two-dimensionally. In Comparative Example 2, the linear pattern layer had a plurality of linear elements with substantially constant heights. The linear elements did not contain two-dimensionally arranged unit elements. In Comparative Example 2, the length of the linear element along the longitudinal direction was approximately the same as the length along the longitudinal direction of the linear element forming the hairline pattern to be manufactured shown in FIG. The width along the arrangement direction of the linear elements was approximately the same as the width along the arrangement direction of the linear elements forming the hairline pattern to be manufactured shown in FIG.

In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, as in Example 1, blasting was not used in the production of plates. In Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, no coating layer was used in manufacturing the decorative sheets.

<Evaluation 1>

The decorative sheet was observed from a distance of 50 cm to evaluate whether or not the hairline pattern could be clearly observed. The evaluation results are shown in the column of “Evaluation 2 (dark place)” in Table 1. "A" was assigned to examples in which the hairline pattern could be observed from various directions. "B" was assigned to an example in which there was an observation direction in which the hairline pattern could not be clearly observed.

<Evaluation 3>
A display system shown in FIG. 25 was produced by combining the decorative sheets according to Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 with a display device having a light shielding pattern sheet and a light source device. The light source device was a light emitting diode. The display device was capable of displaying square-shaped images. The sides of the square formed by the image extended in the longitudinal direction and the arrangement direction of the linear elements. It was confirmed whether or not bleeding on the decorative sheet was observed in a state in which the display device was operated to display an image. The evaluation results are shown in the column of “Evaluation 3 (Bleeding)” in Table 1. An example in which no conspicuous bleeding was observed and a sharp image was observed was given "A". "B" was assigned to examples in which bleeding was observed and the image was observed to be blurred.

<Second Embodiment>
The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the linear elements 45 included in the linear pattern layer 40 . The second embodiment may be configured similarly to the first embodiment except for the configuration of the linear element 45. FIG. In the description and accompanying drawings of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as those of the corresponding components of the first embodiment are used.

As shown in FIGS. 30, 42, 43, and 44, in the second embodiment, the display system 10 includes a decorative member 20 or a decorative sheet 30, a light source device 12 or a display device 16, may include The light source device 12 and the display device 16 in the second embodiment may be the same as the light source device 12 and the display device 16 described in the first embodiment, respectively. The light source device 12 and the display device 16 are at least partially covered with the decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 from the third direction D3. According to the display system 10 , the light source device 12 and the display device 16 can be installed while ensuring harmony with the surroundings by the decorative sheet 30 .

As described in the first embodiment, when the light source device 12 and the display device 16 are turned on, the display system 10 can display as shown in FIG. As described in the first embodiment, when the light source device 12 and the display device 16 are turned on, the display system 10 can display the linear pattern 35 by the linear pattern layer 40 as shown in FIG. As described in the first embodiment with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5D, the linear pattern layer 40 of the decorative member 20 or the decorative sheet 30 according to the second embodiment includes hairline patterns, spin patterns, , grain pattern, or weave pattern. The display system 10, the decorative member 20, or the decorative sheet 30 according to the second embodiment can be applied to various uses as described in the first embodiment.

The decorative member 20 according to the second embodiment may include the decorative sheet 30 and the thermoplastic resin portion 64. In the second embodiment, the thermoplastic resin portion 64 described in the first embodiment may be used as the thermoplastic resin portion 64 . The decorative member 20 may include components other than the decorative sheet 30 and the thermoplastic resin portion 64, as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 30, 42, 43, and 44, the decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 include a linear pattern layer 40, a bonding layer 62, a design One or more of the layer 60, the light-shielding pattern sheet 66, and the surface protective layer may be included. The bonding layer 62, the design layer 60, the light-shielding pattern sheet 66, and the surface protective layer in the second embodiment may each have the configuration described in the first embodiment.

The decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 in the second embodiment may have the transmission properties described in the first embodiment. The decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 in the second embodiment may have dimensions such as thickness and size described in the first embodiment.

The decorative member 20 and the decorative sheet 30 in the second embodiment may have the optical properties described in the first embodiment. For example, the total light transmittance of the decorating member 20 and the decorating sheet 30 may be the same as the total light transmittance of the decorating member 20 and the decorating sheet 30 according to the first embodiment. When the decorative sheet 30 includes the light shielding pattern sheet 66, the total light transmittance is the total light transmittance measured in the transmission region 66b.

As shown in FIG. 30, the decorative sheet 30 includes a linear pattern layer 40. As shown in FIG. The linear pattern layer 40 displays the linear pattern 35 . The linear pattern 35 is a linear pattern. Linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 . A plurality of linear elements 45 are arranged in one direction. One direction is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . Each linear element 45 extends in the other direction that intersects with one direction, for example, the other direction that intersects perpendicularly. Each linear element 45 has a longitudinal direction, the other direction being the longitudinal direction. Each linear element 45 elongates in the other longitudinal direction. A plurality of linear elements 45 extend generally parallel. A linear pattern 35 is represented by a set of a plurality of linear elements 45 .

That the linear elements 45 are elongated means that the ratio of the total length to the width of the linear elements 45 is 2 or more, preferably 10 or more, more preferably 20 or more. The total length of the linear element 45 is the length (μm) along the longitudinal direction (other direction) of the linear element 45 . The width of the linear elements 45 is the length (μm) along the direction of arrangement of the linear elements 45 (the one direction 9).

The length along the longitudinal direction (other direction) of the linear element 45 may be the same as the length described in the first embodiment. The width along the arrangement direction (one direction) of the linear elements 45 may be the same as the width described in the first embodiment.

Each linear element 45 is a linear protrusion 45A or a linear recess 45B. The linear protrusions 45A and the linear recesses 45B are alternately arranged in the arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). By comparing the average position (average height) of the linear elements 45 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 (the third direction D3 in the illustrated example), two linear elements 45 adjacent in the arrangement direction are: They are identified as linear protrusions 45A or linear recesses 45B. A reference position (reference height) in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is set, and the linear protrusions 45A and the linear recesses 45B are distinguished based on the reference height. Linear elements 45 whose average position (average height) is closer to the observer than the reference position in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 are linear projections 45A. Linear elements 45 whose average position (average height) is lower than the reference position in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 and which are farther from the observer are linear concave portions 45B. The reference position is the average position (average height) of the linear pattern layer 40 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 .

The average position (average height) of the linear pattern layer 40 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is specified by the method described in the first embodiment. The average position (average height) of the linear elements 45 in the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is specified by the method described in the first embodiment.

In the example shown in FIG. 30, the linear pattern layer 40 includes a sheet-like base portion 43 and linear protrusions 45A projecting from the base portion 43 in the third direction D3. The base portion 43 is exposed by providing the linear concave portion 45B between the two linear convex portions 45A adjacent to each other in the second direction D2. As will be described later, the base portion 43 and the linear convex portion 45A may be integrally molded by resin molding. That is, the base portion 43 and the linear convex portion 45A may be seamlessly connected.

As will be described later, when an image is transparently observed through the decorative sheet 30, as shown in FIG. 45, the contour of the image blurs. When the contour of the image blurs, the contour of the image becomes unclear and a sharp image cannot be displayed. The image is observed blurry.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, an upper limit may be set for Rz along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . Rz is the ten-point average roughness (μm) according to JISB0601-1994. Rz along one direction in which the linear elements 45 are arranged may be 3.2 μm or less, 2.5 μm or less, or 2.4 μm or less. By setting the upper limit of Rz in this way, it is possible to suppress blurring of the contour of the image.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, an upper limit may be set for Ra along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . Ra is the arithmetic mean roughness (μm) conforming to JISB0601-1994. Ra along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, may be 1.4 μm or less, 1.1 μm or less, or 0.9 μm or less. By setting the upper limit of Ra in this way, it is possible to suppress blurring of the outline of the image.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, an upper limit may be set for the PV along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . PV is the maximum valley depth (μm) conforming to JISB0601-1994. The PV along one direction in which the linear elements 45 are arranged may be 4.7 μm or less, 3.9 μm or less, or 3.8 μm or less. By setting the upper limit of the PV in this way, it is possible to suppress blurring of the outline of the image.

From the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the outline of the image, an upper limit may be set for rms along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . rms is the root mean square roughness (μm) according to JISB0601-1994. The rms along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, may be 1.5 μm or less, 1.2 m or less, or 1.1 μm or less. By setting the upper limit of rms in this way, it is possible to suppress blurring of the contour of the image.

In the linear pattern layer 40 having the surface properties described above, the side walls 42 formed by the linear elements 45 have a height along the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 (the third direction D3 in the illustrated example). height tends to be low. A low side wall 42 along the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 is less likely to exhibit a strong lens effect. Further, the linear element 45 tends to have the side wall 42 greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 (the third direction D3 in the illustrated example). Side walls 42 that are greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 are less likely to exhibit a lens effect of concentrating light in a direction inclined with respect to the normal direction. By weakening the lens effect of the side walls 42 in this way, the spread of light around the area where the image should be displayed is suppressed. It is presumed that this suppresses blurring of the contour of the image.

If the height of the sidewalls 42 is low, repeated reflection on the pair of sidewalls 42 of the linear element 45 is suppressed. That is, the light guiding action of the linear element 45 is weakened. Further, when the side walls 42 are greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30, repeated reflections on the pair of side walls 42 of the linear element 45 are suppressed. That is, the light guiding action of the linear element 45 is weakened. By weakening the light guiding action of the linear elements 45 in this way, the spread of light around the area where the image should originally be displayed is suppressed. It is presumed that this suppresses blurring of the contour of the image.

31A and 31B show specific examples of the linear pattern layer 40 having such surface properties. 31A and 31B both show the linear pattern layer 40 on the main cut surface of the decorative sheet 30. FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 31A, the linear element 45 of the linear pattern layer 40 has a shape obtained by chamfering linear protrusions 45A and linear recesses 45B having rectangular cross sections indicated by dotted lines. The linear elements 45 of the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 31A are gently curved linear protrusions 45A or linear recesses 45B. The linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 31A can be produced by forming a coating film of a resin composition on a plate surface (mold surface) of a plate (mold) used for resin shaping. As in the example described later, by forming a coating layer 72 of a resin composition on the concave-convex structure 81 of a resin molding layer 80 as a plate (mold) used for resin molding, the linear shape shown in FIG. 31A is obtained. A patterned layer 40 may be produced.

In the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 31B, similarly to the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 31A, linear protrusions 45A and linear recesses 45B having rectangular cross sections indicated by dotted lines are smoothly formed. It has a shape. Furthermore, the linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 31B has fine unevenness on the surface. The pitch of fine unevenness is shorter than the arrangement pitch of the linear elements 45 . The fine unevenness is arranged in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). The fine unevenness may also be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 (in the illustrated example, the first direction D1). The height difference of the fine unevenness is smaller than the height difference of the linear elements 45 . The linear pattern layer 40 shown in FIG. 31B can be produced by resin shaping using a plate (mold) whose plate surface (mold surface) has been blasted.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, a lower limit may be set for Rz along one direction, which is the direction in which the linear elements 45 are arranged. Rz is the ten-point average roughness (μm) conforming to JISB0601-1994, as described above. Rz along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, may be 0.5 μm or more, or may be 1.2 μm or more. By setting the lower limit of Rz in this manner, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, a lower limit may be set for Ra along one direction in which the linear elements 45 are arranged. Roughness Ra is the arithmetic mean roughness (μm) conforming to JISB0601-1994, as described above. Ra along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, may be 0.2 μm or more, or may be 0.6 μm or more. By setting the lower limit of Ra in this manner, the linear pattern 35 can be displayed clearly.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, a lower limit may be set for the PV along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45. PV is the maximum valley depth (μm) conforming to JISB0601-1994, as described above. PV along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, may be 0.9 μm or more, or may be 2.2 μm or more. By setting the lower limit of the PV in this way, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, a lower limit may be set for the rms along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45. rms is the root-mean-square roughness (μm) according to JISB0601-1994, as described above. The rms along one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, may be 0.2 μm or more, or may be 0.6 μm or more. By setting the lower limit of rms in this way, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

A lower limit may be set for the side wall inclination angle θ from the viewpoint of suppressing blurring of the contour of the image. The sidewall inclination angle θ is an index representing the inclination angle of the sidewalls 42 positioned between the linear protrusions 45A and the linear recesses 45B adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 with respect to the normal direction. By setting the lower limit of the side wall inclination angle θ, the side wall 42 is greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 . By setting the lower limit of the side wall inclination angle θ, the height of the side wall 42 along the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 can be reduced. As a result, the lens effect of the side wall 42 can be weakened, and the light guiding action of the linear element 45 can be weakened. Specifically, the sidewall inclination angle θ may be 66° or more, 73° or more, or 76° or more.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, an upper limit may be set for the side wall inclination angle θ. The sidewall inclination angle θ may be 87° or less. By thus setting the upper limit of the sidewall inclination angle θ, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B, the side wall inclination angle θ is determined by a straight line SL passing through a first position P1 and a second position P2 on the linear pattern layer 40 on the main cut surface of the decorative sheet 30, is the angle (°) between the normal direction D3 and The sidewall inclination angle θ is 0° or more and 90° or less. The main cutting plane of the decorative sheet 30 is a cross section along both the normal direction of the decorative sheet and one direction in which the linear elements 45 are arranged. The first position P1 is the highest by 10% of the height difference HD between the highest position HP of the linear protrusion 45A crossed by the main cutting plane and the lowest position LP of the linear recess 45B adjacent to the linear protrusion 45A. It is a position on the linear pattern layer 40 lower than the position HP. The second position P2 is a position on the linear pattern layer 40 higher than the lowest position LP by 10% of the height difference HD.

The first position P1 is positioned between the highest position HP and the lowest position LP in one direction, which is the direction in which the linear elements 45 are arranged. A plurality of positions lower than the highest position HP by 10% of the height difference HD may exist between the highest position HP and the lowest position LP in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . In this case, the position closest to the lowest position LP in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 is the first position P1. The second position P2 is located between the highest position HP and the lowest position LP in one direction, which is the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . A plurality of positions higher than the lowest position LP by 10% of the height difference HD can exist between the highest position HP and the lowest position LP in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . In this case, the position closest to the highest position HP in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 is the second position P2.

The aforementioned Rz, Ra, PV, rms, and side wall inclination angle θ, which serve as indicators of the surface properties of the linear pattern layer 40, are obtained by dividing each side of a square region having a side length of 1076 μm in the linear pattern layer 40 to be measured. It is divided into three equal parts and partitioned into nine small areas, and is specified as the average value of a total of nine measured values measured at approximately the center of each small area. Rz, Ra, PV, and rms are values measured using a scanning white light interferometer (NewView6300) manufactured by Zygo Corporation. The measurement area in this measuring device is 1076 μm square, and the “cylinder” set in the measuring device is used to remove the waviness component. The sidewall inclination angle θ is calculated from the surface shape of the linear pattern layer 40 measured using a scanning white light interferometer (New View 6300) manufactured by Zygo Corporation.

The decorative sheet 30 in the second embodiment may include layers other than the linear pattern layer, like the decorative sheet 30 in the first embodiment. The decorative sheet 30 may include a design layer 60 for the purpose of improving designability. The design layer 60 in the second embodiment may be the same as the design layer 60 described in the first embodiment. The decorative sheet 30 may include the bonding layer 62 described in the first embodiment.

A plate 90 corresponding to the linear pattern 35 to be manufactured is produced. FIG. 32 shows an example of the plate 90. As shown in FIG. Plate 90 may be the roll plate shown in FIG. The plate 90 has a cylindrical outer shape. The plate 90 is held rotatably around the cylindrical central axis CA. The plate 90 has a plate surface 91 on its cylindrical outer peripheral surface. The plate surface 91 is an uneven surface corresponding to the linear pattern to be transferred. The plate surface 91 is an uneven surface corresponding to the uneven structure 41 of the linear pattern layer 40 displaying the linear pattern 35 .

In the illustrated example, the plate surface 91 of the plate 90 includes a plurality of plate linear elements 92 arranged in an axial direction parallel to the central axis CA. Each plate-like element 92 is a plate-like protrusion 92A or a plate-like recess 92B. The plate line-shaped convex portion 92A protrudes outward away from the central axis CA in the radial direction perpendicular to the central axis CA. The stencil-shaped concave portion 92B is recessed inward and close to the central axis CA in the radial direction perpendicular to the central axis CA. The plate linear projections 92A and the plate linear recesses 92B are alternately arranged in the axial direction. The plate-like elements 92 are elongated in the circumferential direction about the central axis CA.

The plate surface 91 of the plate 90 is manufactured according to the linear pattern 35 to be manufactured. For example, the plate 90 may be produced by the following method using image data. First, image data 95 regarding the linear pattern 35 is prepared. FIG. 10 shows an example of the image data 95. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the image data 95 may be multi-tone grayscale image data. Multi-gradation grayscale image data is data of three or more gradations. For example, the image data 95 can be prepared by scanning the linear pattern 35 to be manufactured in grayscale. The image data 95 may be binarized image data.

The image data 95 shown in FIG. 10 is data relating to the hairline pattern. Depending on the gradation of each pixel of the image data 95, the height of the area of the plate 90 corresponding to that pixel is determined. As a result, the area coextensive with the image data 95 of the linear pattern 35 can be divided into small areas, and height information can be assigned to the small areas.

Next, the plate 90 can be produced by realizing the height distribution assigned to the area coextensive with the image data 95 . Height distribution can be achieved by forming recesses in the metal plate. The height distribution may be imparted to the metal plate by etching the surface of the metal plate. For example, the height distribution may be formed in the metal plate by forming recesses by etching using a photolithographic technique. The formed recesses constitute each plate linear element 92 of the plate surface 91 . The height distribution may be imparted to the metal plate by laser writing the surface of the metal plate.

By forming recesses in the metal plate as described above, the unevenness of the plate surface 91 is produced. The metal plate forming the printing plate 91 may be a copper plate. By attaching a metal plate such as a copper plate to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical core, the metal plate constitutes the plate surface 91 . The surface of the copper plate may be chrome plated after the formation of the uneven surface is completed.

You may blast the metal surface on which the concave portion is formed. The blasting treatment is performed before the chrome plating treatment described above. By performing blasting, the unevenness of the plate surface 91 can be smoothed, and fine unevenness can be formed on the plate surface 91 . The pitch of the fine unevenness provided on the plate surface 91 may be shorter than the arrangement pitch of the plate-unit elements 93 . The height difference of the fine unevenness imparted to the plate surface 91 may be smaller than the height difference of the plate linear elements 92 . The degree of fine unevenness can be adjusted by the type, size, and shape of the abrasive used in the blasting process, the ejection conditions of the abrasive, and the like. By imparting fine unevenness to the plate surface 91, fine unevenness can be imparted to the surface of the linear element 45 as shown in FIG. 31B. As will be described later, the fine unevenness of the linear elements 45 can weaken the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear elements 45 .

The plate 90 is produced as described above. Next, using the produced plate 90, the decorative sheet 30 is produced.

The plate 90 is rotated around the central axis CA. A long base material 70 is supplied toward the plate 90 . As shown in FIG. 32, an uncured curable resin composition is supplied between the substrate 70 and the plate 90 . As the substrate 70, a resin film such as a polyethylene terephthalate film may be used. As the curable resin composition, an ionizing radiation curable resin composition is exemplified. As an ionizing radiation curable resin composition, an ultraviolet curable resin composition is exemplified. The curable resin composition is cured between the plate 90 and the substrate 70 . For example, the ultraviolet curable resin composition is irradiated with ultraviolet rays that have passed through the base material 70 . A resin transfer layer 80 is produced from the cured product of the curable resin composition. The resin imprinting layer 80 is bonded to the base material 70 .

In the example shown in FIG. 32, the base material 70 is separated from the plate surface 91 of the plate 90. The resin imprint layer 80 includes a sheet-like land portion 84 bonded to the base material 70 . The land portion 84 is formed integrally with the second linear convex portion 82A. The land portion 84 is exposed between the two second linear convex portions 82A at the position where the second linear concave portion 82B is provided.

After that, as shown in FIG. 33 , the first resin composition is supplied to the surface of the resin transfer layer 80 peeled off from the plate 90 that was in contact with the plate 90 to form a coating film of the first resin composition. do. The coating layer 72 is formed by drying or curing the coating film of the first resin composition. Concavities and convexities corresponding to the concavo-convex structure 81 of the resin imprinting layer 80 remain on the surface of the coating layer 72 . The coating layer 72 may contain a thermoplastic resin. The coating layer 72 may contain a cured product of a curable resin composition. The curable resin composition may be a thermosetting resin composition or an ionizing radiation curable resin composition. The coating layer 72 may contain a material having releasability such as silicone. The coating layer 72 functions as a release layer 73 by containing the peelable material. However, the production of the coating layer 72 may be omitted and the linear pattern layer 40 may be formed on the resin imprinting layer 80 .

According to the coating layer 72 covering the uneven structure 81 of the resin imprinting layer 80, as shown in FIG. The structure 41 can be smoothed. The smoothness of the uneven structure 41 can be adjusted by the thickness of the coating layer 72, the viscosity of the first resin composition, the drying speed, the curing speed, and the like. By smoothing the concave-convex structure 41 , the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear elements 45 can be weakened in the linear pattern layer 40 produced using the resin imprinting layer 80 . The thickness of the coating layer 72 may be 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, or 40% or more of the height difference HD of the uneven structure 81 of the resin molding layer 80 . By setting the thickness of the coating layer 72 to 10% or more of the height difference HD of the uneven structure 81, the lens effect and the light guiding action of the linear elements 45 can be weakened.

Next, as shown in FIG. 34, a second resin composition is supplied onto the resin imprinting layer 80 and the coating layer 72 to form a coating film of the second resin composition. The second resin composition may be a curable resin composition. The curable resin composition may be a thermosetting resin composition or an ionizing radiation curable resin composition. As an ionizing radiation curable resin composition, an ultraviolet curable resin composition is exemplified. The curable resin composition is cured on the resin transfer layer 80 and the coating layer 72 . The linear pattern layer 40 is produced from the cured product of the curable resin composition. The curing treatment of the curable resin composition at this timing may be complete curing or semi-curing. If the effect treatment at this timing is semi-curing, the curing treatment may be performed at any later timing. The produced linear pattern layer 40 is bonded to the resin imprinting layer 80 or the coating layer 72 . The second resin composition may be the same as the second resin composition described in the first embodiment. For example, the second resin composition may contain an electron beam-curable resin composition and at least one of an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer.

A concave-convex structure 41 corresponding to the concave-convex structure 81 of the resin molding layer 80 is applied to the linear pattern layer 40 . Linear elements 45 of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second linear elements 82 . Linear recesses 45B of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second linear protrusions 82A. Linear protrusions 45A of the linear pattern layer 40 are formed corresponding to the second linear recesses 82B.

In the example shown in FIG. 34, the base portion 43 is also formed by the cured product of the curable resin composition. The base portion 43 is formed integrally with the linear convex portion 45A. The base portion 43 is exposed between the two linear convex portions 45A at the position where the linear concave portion 45B is provided.

After that, as shown in FIG. 35, a bonding layer 62 is formed over the linear pattern layer 40 . The bonding layer 62 may be produced by supplying a resin composition onto the linear pattern layer 40 to form a coating film of the resin composition, and drying or curing the coating film. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 36, the design layer 60 is formed over the joining layer 62 . The design layer 60 may be formed by gravure printing.

An injection molding device 110 is prepared as shown in FIG. Injection molding apparatus 110 includes mold 111 . Mold 111 includes a first mold 111A and a second mold 111B. The first mold 111A and the second mold 111B can be separated from each other as shown in FIG. 37 and can be close to each other as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 38, a cavity 112 is formed between the first die 111A and the second die 111B in the closed state in which the first die 111A and the second die 111B are in contact with each other. Mold 111 has a gate 113 leading to cavity 112 . The gate 113 is connected to a supply device for the injection resin 114 (not shown). An injection resin 114 is supplied into the cavity 112 through the gate 113 . The first mold 111A and the second mold 111B are heated by a heater (not shown) and maintained at a high temperature.

As shown in FIG. 38, the decorative sheet laminate 25 is accommodated in the cavity 112 within the molding die 111 . In the illustrated example, the decorative sheet laminate 25 is arranged in the second mold 111B such that the decorative sheet 30 is exposed in the cavity 112. As shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 39, molten injection resin 114 is injected into cavity 112 through gate 113 . The injected resin 114 is cooled in the cavity 112, welded to the decorative sheet 30 and solidified. The thermoplastic resin portion 64 joined to the decorative sheet 30 is obtained from the solidified injected resin 114 . The material of the thermoplastic resin portion 64 is as described above.

After that, as shown in FIG. 40, the first die 111A and the second die 111B are separated from each other. The thermoplastic resin portion 64 is joined to the first mold 111A. On the other hand, the base material 70 may be fixed to the second mold 111B. According to this example, as shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, the base material 70 and the resin transfer layer 80 are separated from the decorative sheet 30 as the first mold 111A and the second mold 111B are separated. . Peeling is promoted by the coating layer 72 functioning as a release layer 73 .

As described above, the decorative sheet 30 and the decorative member 20 are manufactured. When the linear pattern layer 40 is produced in a semi-cured state, the linear pattern layer 40 may be hardened on the decorative member 20 removed from the mold 111 . After forming at least one of the bonding layer 62 and the design layer 60, the linear pattern layer 40 may be cured. Also, as described in the first embodiment with reference to FIGS. 29A to 29D, the pattern laminate 26 may be formed on the decorative sheet laminate 25. FIG. According to this example, the configuration such as the dimensions of the recess 27 that can form the recess 27 in the decorative member 20 may be the same as the configuration such as the dimension described in the first embodiment.

The operation of the illustrated display system 10 will be described.

When the light source device 12 or the display device 16 is in a non-operating state, the same effects as in the first embodiment are obtained. That is, the linear pattern layer 40 displays the linear pattern 35 . The linear pattern may be a hairline pattern, a spin pattern, a wood grain pattern, or a woven pattern. The design layer 60 and the design may be displayed.

When the light source device 12 is turned on in the operating state, the same effect as in the first embodiment is obtained. By combining the light source device 12 and the light shielding pattern sheet 66, an image having a shape corresponding to the shape of the transmissive area 66b can be displayed. A display device 16 displays an image to be viewed by an observer.

As mentioned in the first embodiment, in the conventional display system, decorative member, and decorative sheet, bleeding 101 occurred in the outline of the image, as shown in FIG. When bleeding 101 occurs, the outline of the image becomes unclear and the image becomes blurred. Conventional decorative sheets cannot display sharp images.

In the decorative sheet 30 of the second embodiment, the linear pattern layer 40 includes multiple linear elements 45 . The plurality of linear elements 45 are arranged in one arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). Each linear element 45 extends in the longitudinal direction (the first direction D1 in the illustrated example) that is the other direction orthogonal to the one direction. The ten-point average roughness Rz defined in JISB0601-1994, and the ten-point average roughness Rz along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 3.2 μm or less, or 2.5 μm or less. , 2.4 μm or less.

In the linear pattern layer 40 having a surface texture for which the upper limit of the ten-point average roughness Rz is specified, the height of the sidewalls of the linear elements 45 is restricted. In addition, in the linear pattern layer 40 having a surface texture for which the upper limit of Rz is defined, the sidewalls 42 tend to be greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 . These prevent the linear elements 45 from condensing the image light and guiding it in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . That is, the lens effect on the side wall of the linear element 45 with respect to the image light is weakened. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of bleeding 101 that spreads from the image 100 in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . The outline of the image 100 facing the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 can be made clear.

Further, when the side walls 42 are greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30, repeated reflections on the pair of side walls of the linear elements 45 are suppressed. By restricting the height of the sidewalls 42 of the linear element 45, repeated reflections on the pair of sidewalls of the linear element 45 are also suppressed. In other words, the light guiding action of the linear element 45 due to repeated reflection between the pair of side walls is weakened. This can suppress the occurrence of blurring 101 spreading from the image 100 in the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 . The outline of the image 100 facing the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 can be clarified.

As described above, an upper limit may be set for Rz along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 and an upper limit for Ra defined in JISB0601-1994. In this case, bleeding can be suppressed more effectively. Ra along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 1.4 μm or less, 1.1 μm or less, or 0.9 μm or less. Bleeding can also be suppressed by adjusting Ra together with Rz in this way.

An upper limit may be set for Rz along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 and an upper limit for PV defined in JISB0601-1994. The PV along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 4.7 μm or less, 3.9 μm or less, or 3.8 μm or less. Bleeding can also be suppressed by adjusting PV together with Rz in this way.

An upper limit may be set for Rz along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45, and an upper limit may be set for rms defined in JISB0601-1994. The rms along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 1.5 μm or less, 1.2 m or less, or 1.1 μm or less. Bleeding can also be suppressed by adjusting rms together with Rz in this way.

Further, in the decorative sheet 30 of the second embodiment, the linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45. The plurality of linear elements 45 are arranged in one arrangement direction (the second direction D2 in the illustrated example). Each linear element 45 extends in the longitudinal direction (the first direction D1 in the illustrated example) that is the other direction orthogonal to the one direction. The plurality of linear elements 45 includes linear protrusions 45A and linear recesses 45B alternately arranged in the arrangement direction. A side wall inclination angle θ specified by a main cutting plane crossing linear protrusions 45A and linear recesses 45B adjacent to each other in the arrangement direction may be 66° or more, 73° or more, or 76° or more.

As shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B, the side wall inclination angle θ is determined by a straight line SL passing through a first position P1 and a second position P2 on the linear pattern layer 40 on the main cut surface of the decorative sheet 30, is the angle (°) between the normal direction D3 and The sidewall inclination angle θ is 0° or more and 90° or less. The main cutting plane of the decorative sheet 30 is a cross section along both the normal direction of the decorative sheet and the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . The first position P1 is the highest by 10% of the height difference HD between the highest position HP of the linear protrusion 45A crossed by the main cutting plane and the lowest position LP of the linear recess 45B adjacent to the linear protrusion 45A. It is a position on the linear pattern layer 40 lower than the position HP. The second position P2 is a position on the linear pattern layer 40 higher than the lowest position LP by 10% of the height difference HD.

When the sidewall inclination angle θ specified in this way is 66° or more, the sidewall of the linear element 45 is greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative member 20 . Further, when the side wall inclination angle θ is 66° or more, the height of the side wall 42 along the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30 can be reduced. These prevent the linear elements 45 from condensing the image light and guiding it in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . That is, the lens effect on the side wall of the linear element 45 with respect to the image light is weakened. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of bleeding 101 that spreads from the image 100 in the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 . The outline of the image 100 facing the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 can be made clear.

Further, when the side walls 42 are greatly inclined with respect to the normal direction of the decorative sheet 30, repeated reflections on the pair of side walls of the linear elements 45 are suppressed. By restricting the height of the sidewalls 42 of the linear element 45, repeated reflections on the pair of sidewalls of the linear element 45 are also suppressed. When the side wall inclination angle θ is 66° or more, the light guiding action of the linear element 45 caused by repeated reflection between the pair of side walls is weakened. This can suppress the occurrence of blurring 101 spreading from the image 100 in the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 . The outline of the image 100 facing the longitudinal direction of the linear element 45 can be clarified.

As described above, according to the decorative sheet 30 according to the second embodiment, blurring of the outline of the image can be suppressed in the operating state of the light source device 12 or the display device 16 . As a result, the outline of the image becomes clear, and blurring of the outline of the image can be suppressed. Display system 10 is capable of displaying sharp images.

From the viewpoint of suppressing bleeding 101, fine unevenness may be formed on the surface of the linear pattern layer 40 as shown in FIG. 31B. As shown in FIG. 31B, by providing fine unevenness to the surface of the linear element 45, the lens effect and light guiding action of the linear element can be effectively weakened.

On the other hand, from the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, a lower limit may be set for the height of the sidewalls of the linear elements 45. From this point of view, the Rz defined in JISB0601-1994 along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 0.5 μm or more, or may be 1.2 μm or more. By thus setting a lower limit for Rz, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

Ra defined in JISB0601-1994, and Ra along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 0.2 μm or more, or 0.6 μm or more. By thus setting a lower limit for Ra, the linear pattern 35 can be displayed clearly.

The PV defined in JISB0601-1994, and the PV along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 0.9 μm or more, or may be 2.2 μm or more. By thus setting the lower limit of the PV, the linear pattern 35 can be displayed clearly.

The rms defined in JISB0601-1994 and the rms along the arrangement direction of the linear elements 45 may be 0.2 μm or more, or may be 0.6 μm or more. By setting the lower limit of rms in this way, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

From the viewpoint of clearly displaying the linear pattern 35, an upper limit may be set for the side wall inclination angle θ. The sidewall inclination angle θ may be 87° or less. By thus setting an upper limit for the side wall inclination angle θ, the linear pattern 35 can be clearly displayed.

In the second embodiment described above, the decorative sheet 30 includes the linear pattern layer 40. Linear pattern layer 40 includes a plurality of linear elements 45 . A plurality of linear elements 45 are arranged in one direction. Each linear element 45 extends in the other direction perpendicular to the one direction. The total light transmittance of the decorative sheet 30 is 5% or more and 90% or less. Rz defined in JISB0601-1994, and Rz along one direction is 3.2 μm or less. According to the linear pattern layer 40 having such Rz, it is possible to suppress the light guiding action and lens effect of the linear elements 45 . It is possible to suppress blurring of the contour of the image 100 . Therefore, by using the decorative sheet 30, a sharp image can be displayed.

The total light transmittance of the decorative sheet 30 is 5% or more and 90% or less. A side wall inclination angle θ specified by a main cutting plane crossing the linear convex portion 45A and the linear concave portion 45B adjacent to each other in one direction is 66° or more. According to the linear pattern layer 40 having such a side wall inclination angle θ, it is possible to suppress the light guiding action and lens effect of the linear elements 45 . It is possible to suppress blurring of the contour of the image 100 . Therefore, by using the decorative sheet 30, a sharp image can be displayed.

Although the second embodiment has been described with reference to specific examples, the above specific examples do not limit the second embodiment.
