[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7457089 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The above-mentioned translucent substrate may have too much gloss. In this case, when a printed matter is attached, the gloss may not blend in with the surroundings and may appear unusual. Furthermore, when a surface protective layer containing a matting agent is provided on the translucent substrate, the occurrence of the gloss can be suppressed, and the printed matter can blend in with the surroundings. However, when a surface protective layer containing a matting agent is provided on the translucent substrate, the image seen through the translucent substrate may become cloudy, and the image may not be displayed clearly.

[0006] An object of the present disclosure is to provide printed matter and display devices that can suppress the occurrence of gloss and display images clearly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] (1) A printed matter according to the present disclosure is a printed matter that transmits light from a light source. The printed matter includes a translucent substrate, a picture print layer provided on one surface of the translucent substrate, and a surface protection layer provided on the surface of the translucent substrate opposite the surface on which the picture print layer is provided. The surface protection layer has a first recess that is recessed on the surface facing away from the translucent substrate.

[0008] This printed matter has a picture print layer, a translucent substrate, and a surface protective layer. The picture print layer is provided on one side of the translucent substrate. The surface protective layer is provided on the side of the translucent substrate opposite to the side on which the picture print layer is provided. By having the surface protective layer, this printed matter can suppress the generation of gloss and blend in with its surroundings. The surface protective layer has a first recess that is recessed on the surface facing away from the translucent substrate. By having the first recess in the surface protective layer, the amount of matting agent contained in the surface protective layer can be reduced, making it less likely to cause fogging and allowing the image formed by light from the light source to be clearly displayed.

[0009] (2) In the above (1), the translucent substrate may have a second recess that is recessed on the surface facing away from the picture-printed layer and is located on the light source side as viewed from the first recess. In this case, the first recess is located on the surface of the second recess of the translucent substrate opposite the light source. By having the first recess in the surface protective layer and the second recess in the translucent substrate, it is possible to make it less likely that the image will become cloudy due to light from the light source.

[0010] (3) In the above (1) or (2), the printed matter may include a plurality of light-transmitting substrates. The plurality of light-transmitting substrates may include a first light-transmitting substrate located between the surface protective layer and the picture-printed layer, and a second light-transmitting substrate located between the first light-transmitting substrate and the light source. In this case, the first light-transmitting substrate is disposed between the surface protective layer and the picture-printed layer, and the second light-transmitting substrate is disposed between the first light-transmitting substrate and the light source. By providing a plurality of light-transmitting substrates in this manner, the sense of unevenness in the printed matter can be reduced.

[0011] (4) In the above (3), the glass transition point of the first light-transmitting substrate may be lower than that of the second light-transmitting substrate. In this case, the glass transition point of the first light-transmitting substrate located between the surface protective layer and the picture-printed layer is lower than that of the second light-transmitting substrate, so that recesses can be formed in the first light-transmitting substrate by heat and deformation of the second light-transmitting substrate can be prevented. Therefore, the first recesses can be easily formed, facilitating the production of printed matter.

[0012] (5) In any of (1) to (4) above, the picture-printed layer may include a first color pattern layer formed on one surface of the translucent substrate and composed of a plurality of first color dots, and a second color pattern layer formed on the first color pattern layer and composed of a plurality of second color dots. Each of the plurality of first color dots may include a first color binder and a plurality of first color pigment chips dispersed within the first color binder. Each of the plurality of second color dots may include a second color binder and a plurality of second color pigment chips dispersed within the second color binder. Either the plurality of first color pigment chips or the plurality of second color pigment chips may be a first interference pigment of a plurality of colors, each generating a different first interference light from the others. The other of the plurality of first color pigment chips and the plurality of second color pigment chips may be a second interference pigment that generates a monochromatic second interference light different from the mixed color exhibited by the plurality of first interference pigments, or may be an additive mixture of the plurality of first interference lights and the second interference light.

[0013] (6) In any of the above (1) to (5), the printed matter may further include a white pattern layer formed on the second color pattern layer and composed of a plurality of silver dots. Each of the plurality of silver dots may include a silver binder and a plurality of silver pigment chips dispersed within the silver binder.

[0014] (7) In any of the above (1) to (6), the printed matter may further comprise a translucent smoke printed layer provided on the outermost surface of the picture printed layer on the side opposite to the translucent substrate.

[0015] (8) In any of the above (1) to (7), the first interference pigment and the second interference pigment may each contain titanium dioxide-coated mica having a particle size of 25 μm or more and 60 μm or less.

[0016] (9) In any of (1) to (8) above, the content of the plurality of first color pigment chips may be in the range of 0.5 parts by weight to 20 parts by weight, when the first color binder is 100 parts by weight, and the content of the plurality of second color pigment chips may be in the range of 0.5 parts by weight to 20 parts by weight, when the second color binder is 100 parts by weight.

[0017] (10) The light-transmitting substrate may be made of either a biomass material or a recycled material. In this case, the biomass material or the recycled material, which has a low environmental impact, can be used in the production of the light-transmitting substrate.

[0018] (11) A display device according to the present disclosure includes the above-described printed matter and a light source. Because the display device includes the above-described printed matter, the display device can achieve the same effects as those described above.

[0019] (12) In the above (11), the light source may be a display device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present disclosure, gloss is suppressed, and when the display is OFF, the printed matter has a high-quality design, and when the display is ON, the image can be displayed clearly. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0021] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a printed matter and a display device according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a printed matter and a display device according to another embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of a printed matter and a display device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, identical or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate. The drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and the dimensional ratios and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0023] (First embodiment) FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view that schematically shows a display device according to a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, an example display device 10 includes a printed matter 1 and a light source 11. The printed matter 1 is a sheet for expressing a pattern. The printed matter 1 includes, for example, a pattern printed layer 2, a light-transmitting substrate 3, and a surface protective layer 4. The printed matter 1 is disposed in a position facing the light source 11. The printed matter 1 is provided in front of the light source 11 (between a viewer and the light source 11, or above in FIG. 1).

[0024] The printed matter 1 transmits light L from a light source 11. The light source 11 is, for example, a display device. The light source 11 has a power source that can be switched on and off. As an example, the light source 11 appears black when the power is off, i.e., when it is not emitting light L. The printed matter 1 is, for example, fully light transmissive. Therefore, when the power of the light source 11 is on, i.e., when the light source 11 is emitting light L, the viewer sees the light from the light source 1 that has passed through the printed matter 1. When the power of the light source 11 is off, the viewer sees the image represented by the printed matter 1.

[0025] The visible light transmittance of the printed matter 1 may be, for example, 10% or more and 70% or less. When the visible light transmittance of the printed matter 1 is 10% or more, it is possible to allow light L from the light source 11 to easily pass through the printed matter 1. When the visible light transmittance of the printed matter 1 is 70% or less, it is possible to clearly display the pattern of the pattern printed layer 2. The transmittance refers to a value measured using, for example, a spectrophotometer (for example, a spectrophotometer UV-2100 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation).

[0026] The picture-printed layer 2 is provided on one surface 3b of the light-transmitting substrate 3. The picture-printed layer 2 is located between the light source 11 and the light-transmitting substrate 3. The picture-printed layer 2 is a layer that expresses the picture of the printed matter 1. The picture-printed layer 2 is a layer on which the picture that is expressed by the printed matter 1 is formed. The picture of the picture-printed layer 2 is a picture that appears on the surface of the printed matter 1 when the light source 11 is turned off (when the light source 11 is not emitting light L), and is, for example, a wood grain pattern, a stone grain pattern, or an abstract pattern.

[0027] The method for forming the pattern-printed layer 2 is not particularly limited, and it can be formed on the light-transmitting substrate 3 by, for example, inkjet printing, screen printing, gravure printing, or offset printing. The thickness of the pattern-printed layer 2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 μm or more and 15 μm or less. As an example, the pattern-printed layer 2 may contain a curing agent. In this case, the heat resistance and adhesion of the pattern-printed layer 2 can be improved.

[0028] The light-transmitting substrate 3 must be a substrate that is transparent to visible light, and is therefore a transparent substrate. The light-transmitting substrate 3 is made of, for example, a transparent resin. Examples of the transparent resin include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), and acrylic resin (PMMA). The thickness of the light-transmitting substrate 3 is, for example, 25 μm or more and 250 μm or less.

[0029] The surface protective layer 4 is provided on the surface 3c of the translucent substrate 3 opposite to the surface 3b on which the picture printed layer 2 is provided. The surface protective layer 4 is provided on the front side of the translucent substrate 3 (the side opposite to the picture printed layer 2). The surface protective layer 4 is also called a coating layer (top coat layer). The surface protective layer 4 is provided to ensure the weather resistance of the printed matter 1, etc.

[0030] The surface protective layer 4 is made of resin. As an example, the surface protective layer 4 is made of an acrylic resin. For example, the surface protective layer 4 may contain a matting agent. For example, the matting agent is made of silica (silicon dioxide). By providing the surface protective layer 4, the printed matter 1 exhibits the effect of reducing gloss. For example, the surface protective layer 4 is thinner than the light-transmitting substrate 3. For example, the thickness of the surface protective layer 4 is 10 μm or less.

[0031] The printed matter 1 has, for example, a plurality of light-transmissive substrates 3. For example, the plurality of light-transmissive substrates 3 are a first light-transmissive substrate 3A located between the surface protective layer 4 and the picture-printed layer 2, and a second light-transmissive substrate 3B located between the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the light source 11. In this embodiment, the second light-transmissive substrate 3B is located between the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the picture-printed layer 2.

[0032] The material of the first light-transmissive substrate 3A is different from the material of the second light-transmissive substrate 3B, for example. For example, the glass transition point of the first light-transmissive substrate 3A is lower than the glass transition point of the second light-transmissive substrate 3B. Therefore, when heated, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A is more likely to deform (soften) than the second light-transmissive substrate 3B.

[0033] For example, the first light-transmitting substrate 3A is made of PP or PE, and the second light-transmitting substrate 3B is made of PET, PBT, or PC. As an example, the first light-transmitting substrate 3A is made of PP, and the second light-transmitting substrate 3B is made of PET. For example, at least one of the first light-transmitting substrate 3A and the second light-transmitting substrate 3B is made of either a biomass material or a recycled material.

[0034] The surface protective layer 4 has a first recess 4c recessed in a surface 4b facing away from the light-transmitting substrate 3. In a cross section extending along the thickness direction of the surface protective layer 4 (the vertical direction in FIG. 1 ), the first recess 4c is, for example, V-shaped. However, the shape of the first recess 4c in the cross section is not limited to a V-shape and may be U-shaped or rectangular, and can be changed as appropriate.

[0035] For example, the surface protective layer 4 has a plurality of first recesses 4c. For example, the plurality of first recesses 4c are dispersedly arranged in the surface protective layer 4. As an example, the plurality of first recesses 4c are substantially evenly dispersedly arranged in the surface protective layer 4. The phrase "a plurality of recesses (first recesses 4c or second recesses 3d described later) are substantially evenly dispersedly arranged" refers to a state in which the recesses are evenly arranged, and includes, for example, a state in which the recesses are arranged symmetrically with respect to one another, a state in which the recesses are arranged in a lattice pattern, a state in which the recesses are arranged in a staggered pattern, or a state in which the recesses are dispersedly arranged in concentric circles. However, the arrangement of the recesses is not particularly limited. The arrangement of the plurality of first recesses 4c may be adjusted depending on the type of the picture-printed layer 2.

[0036] For example, the depth D of the first recess 4c is 3 μm or more and 30 μm or less. The depth D of the first recess 4c refers to the length in the thickness direction of the surface protective layer 4 from the surface 4b of the surface protective layer 4 facing away from the light-transmitting substrate 3 to the innermost part of the first recess 4c. When the depth D is 3 μm or more, the gloss is reduced without adding a large amount of matting agent to the surface protective layer, and since the amount of matting agent added to the surface protective layer is small, the image captured by the light source 11 is less likely to become cloudy. When the depth D is 30 μm or less, the first recess 4c is prevented from being too deep, which makes it difficult to see the image captured by the light source 11.

[0037] For example, the thickness of the surface protective layer 4 in the first recess 4c is thinner than the thickness of the surface protective layer 4 in the portion other than the first recess 4c. However, the thickness of the surface protective layer 4 in the first recess 4c may be approximately the same as the thickness of the surface protective layer 4 in the portion other than the first recess 4c, and is not particularly limited.

[0038] The light-transmitting substrate 3 has a second recess 3d that is recessed on a surface 3c facing away from the picture-printed layer 2 and where the first recess 4c is located. In this embodiment, the first light-transmitting substrate 3A has the second recess 3d. In a cross section extending along the thickness direction of the light-transmitting substrate 3 (the vertical direction in FIG. 1), the second recess 3d is, for example, V-shaped. However, the shape of the second recess 3d in the cross section can be changed as appropriate, similar to the first recess 4c described above. For example, the light-transmitting substrate 3 has a plurality of second recesses 3d. For example, the plurality of second recesses 3d are distributed and arranged in the light-transmitting substrate 3. As an example, the plurality of second recesses 3d are distributed and arranged approximately evenly in the light-transmitting substrate 3.

[0039] For example, the depth of the second recess 3d is approximately the same as the depth D of the first recess 4c. The depth of the second recess 3d refers to the length in the thickness direction of the light-transmitting substrate 3 from the surface 3c of the light-transmitting substrate 3 facing away from the picture-printed layer 2 to the innermost part of the second recess 3d. For example, the thickness of the light-transmitting substrate 3 at the second recess 3d is thinner than the thickness of the light-transmitting substrate 3 in the portion other than the second recess 3d.

[0040] The second light-transmitting substrate 3B and the picture-printed layer 2 do not have recesses corresponding to the first recesses 4c and the second recesses 3d. That is, the second light-transmitting substrate 3B and the picture-printed layer 2 are flat. For example, by having the flat second light-transmitting substrate 3B, the printed matter 1 can reduce the overall sense of unevenness.

[0041] Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the printed matter 1 according to this embodiment will be described. First, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A is laminated on the second light-transmissive substrate 3B (a step of laminating the first light-transmissive substrate on the second light-transmissive substrate). Then, the light-transmissive substrate 3 (first light-transmissive substrate 3A) is thermally embossed to form a plurality of second recesses 3d in the light-transmissive substrate 3 (a step of forming second recesses).

[0042] At this time, because the glass transition point of the first light-transmitting substrate 3A is lower than that of the second light-transmitting substrate 3B, the heat causes the second recesses 3d to be formed in the first light-transmitting substrate 3A but not in the second light-transmitting substrate 3B. That is, the first light-transmitting substrate 3A is deformed by the heat to form the second recesses 3d, but the second light-transmitting substrate 3B is not deformed.

[0043] Then, the surface protective layer 4 is applied to the light-transmitting substrate 3 (a step of applying a surface protective layer). At this time, the surface protective layer 4 is applied to the second recesses 3d of the first light-transmitting substrate 3A, thereby forming first recesses 4c (a step of forming first recesses). Thereafter, the picture-printed layer 2 is formed by printing on the second light-transmitting substrate 3B (a step of forming a picture-printed layer). Through the above steps, a series of steps in the method for manufacturing the printed matter 1 is completed.

[0044] Next, the effects obtained from the printed matter 1 and display device 10 according to this embodiment will be described. The printed matter 1 and display device 10 have a picture-printed layer 2, a translucent substrate 3, and a surface protective layer 4. The picture-printed layer 2 is provided on one surface 3b of the translucent substrate 3. The surface protective layer 4 is provided on the surface 3c of the translucent substrate 3 opposite the surface 3b on which the picture-printed layer 2 is provided. By including the surface protective layer 4, the printed matter 1 can be made to blend in with its surroundings by suppressing gloss. The surface protective layer 4 has a first recess 4c recessed on the surface 4b facing away from the translucent substrate 3. By including the first recess 4c in the surface protective layer 4, the amount of matting agent contained in the surface protective layer 4 can be reduced, making it less likely to cause fogging and allowing the image formed by the light L from the light source 11 to be displayed clearly.

[0045] As described above, the light-transmitting substrate 3 may have a second recess 3d that is recessed in the surface 3c facing away from the picture-printed layer 2 and is located on the light source 11 side as viewed from the first recess 4c. In this case, the first recess 4c is located on the surface of the second recess 3d of the light-transmitting substrate 3 that is opposite to the light source 11. When the surface protective layer 4 has the first recess 4c and the light-transmitting substrate 3 has the second recess 3d, it is possible to make it difficult for the image to become cloudy due to the light L from the light source 11.

[0046] As described above, the printed matter 1 may include a plurality of light-transmissive substrates 3. The plurality of light-transmissive substrates 3 may be a first light-transmissive substrate 3A located between the surface protective layer 4 and the picture-printed layer 2, and a second light-transmissive substrate 3B located between the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the light source 11. In this case, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A is located between the surface protective layer 4 and the picture-printed layer 2, and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B is located between the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the light source 11. By providing a plurality of light-transmissive substrates 3, the sense of unevenness of the printed matter 1 as a whole can be reduced.

[0047] As described above, the glass transition point of the first light-transmissive substrate 3A may be lower than that of the second light-transmissive substrate 3B. In this case, the glass transition point of the first light-transmissive substrate 3A located between the surface protective layer 4 and the picture-printed layer 2 is lower than that of the second light-transmissive substrate 3B, so that the second recesses 3d can be formed in the first light-transmissive substrate 3A by heat and deformation of the second light-transmissive substrate 3B can be prevented. Therefore, the second recesses 3d and the first recesses 4c can be easily formed, facilitating the production of the printed matter 1.

[0048] As described above, the first light-transmitting substrate 3A and the second light-transmitting substrate 3B may be made of either biomass or recycled materials. In this case, biomass or recycled materials, which have a low environmental impact, can be used to produce the first light-transmitting substrate 3A and the second light-transmitting substrate 3B.

[0049] Both the first light-transmitting substrate 3A and the second light-transmitting substrate 3B may be made of either biomass materials or recycled materials, or only either the first light-transmitting substrate 3A or the second light-transmitting substrate 3B may be made of either biomass materials or recycled materials. In an example, when Toyo Sewing recycled double-sided easy-adhesion PET (A065-50 μm) was used for the second light-transmitting substrate 3B, it was confirmed that there were no problems with the sharpness of the transmitted image.

[0050] (Second embodiment) Next, a printed matter and a display device according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. The configuration of part of the printed matter and the display device according to the second embodiment is the same as the configuration of part of the printed matter 1 and the display device 10 described above. Therefore, in the following, explanations that overlap with the explanations of the printed matter 1 and the display device 10 described above will be omitted as appropriate by assigning the same reference numerals.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 10A includes a printed material 1A and a light source 11. In the printed material 1 described above, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B are in contact with each other, whereas in the printed material 1A, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B are spaced apart. The printed material 1A differs from the printed material 1 in that a picture-printed layer 2 is disposed between the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B. In the printed material 1A, the second light-transmissive substrate 3B, the picture-printed layer 2, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A, and the surface protective layer 4 are arranged in this order from the light source 11 side.

[0052] For example, in the printed matter 1A, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A is made of PP, and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B is made of PET. However, in the printed matter 1A, both the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B may be made of PP. In this way, the materials of the first light-transmissive substrate 3A and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B can be changed as appropriate.

[0053] An example of a method for manufacturing the printed matter 1A will be described. First, a picture-printed layer 2 is formed on the second light-transmitting substrate 3B by printing (a step of forming a picture-printed layer). Meanwhile, a first light-transmitting substrate 3A is thermally embossed to form a plurality of second recesses 3d in the first light-transmitting substrate 3A (a step of forming second recesses).

[0054] The surface protective layer 4 is applied to the first light-transmitting substrate 3A to form the first recesses 4c (a step of applying a surface protective layer, a step of forming first recesses). Then, the first light-transmitting substrate 3A on which the surface protective layer 4 has been formed is bonded to the picture printed layer 2 formed on the second light-transmitting substrate 3B (a step of bonding the first light-transmitting substrate). Through these steps, the printed matter 1A is completed.

[0055] As described above, in the display device 10A and the printed matter 1A, the surface protective layer 4 has a first recess 4c recessed in the surface 4b facing away from the light-transmitting substrate 3. Therefore, in the display device 10A and the printed matter 1A, the surface protective layer 4 has the first recess 4c, which makes it possible to reduce the amount of matting agent contained in the surface protective layer 4. As a result, fogging is less likely to occur, and an image formed by the light L from the light source 11 can be clearly displayed. In this way, the display device 10A and the printed matter 1A achieve the same effects as the display device 10 and the printed matter 1 described above.

[0056] Various embodiments of the printed matter and display device according to the present disclosure have been described above. However, the printed matter and display device according to the present disclosure are not limited to the contents of the above-described embodiments and may be modified within the scope of the gist described in the claims. In other words, the configuration, shape, size (thickness), material, number, and arrangement of each part of the printed matter and display device can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the above-described gist.

[0057] For example, the picture print layer may include a first color pattern layer formed on one surface of the translucent substrate and composed of a plurality of first color dots, and a second color pattern layer formed on the first color pattern layer and composed of a plurality of second color dots. Each of the plurality of first color dots may include a first color binder and a plurality of first color pigment chips dispersed within the first color binder. Each of the plurality of second color dots may include a second color binder and a plurality of second color pigment chips dispersed within the second color binder. Either of the plurality of first color pigment chips or the plurality of second color pigment chips may be a first interference pigment of multiple colors that respectively generate different first interference lights. The other of the plurality of first color pigment chips or the plurality of second color pigment chips may be a second interference pigment that generates a monochromatic second interference light different from the mixed color exhibited by the plurality of first interference pigments, and may be an additive color mixture of the plurality of first interference lights and the second interference light.

[0058] The printed matter may further include a white pattern layer provided on the second color pattern layer and composed of a plurality of silver dots, each of which may include a silver binder and a plurality of silver pigment chips dispersed within the silver binder.

[0059] The printed matter may further comprise a transmissive smoke printed layer provided on the outermost surface of the picture printed layer on the side opposite to the translucent substrate.

[0060] Each of the first and second interference pigments may comprise titanium dioxide-coated mica having a particle size of 25 μm or more and 60 μm or less.

[0061] The content of the multiple first color pigment chips may be in the range of 0.5 parts by weight or more and 20 parts by weight or less, when the first color binder is 100 parts by weight, and the content of the multiple second color pigment chips may be in the range of 0.5 parts by weight or more and 20 parts by weight or less, when the second color binder is 100 parts by weight.

[0062] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the printed matter 1 has been described as having two light-transmissive substrates 3 (a first light-transmissive substrate 3A and a second light-transmissive substrate 3B). However, the number of light-transmissive substrates that the printed matter has may be one or three or more, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the printed matter may have two first light-transmissive substrates 3A, and the two first light-transmissive substrates 3A may be made of PP.

[0063] The material of the first light-transmissive substrate 3A may be the same as the material of the second light-transmissive substrate 3B. Alternatively, the printed matter may have the first light-transmissive substrate 3A made of PP, the first light-transmissive substrate 3A made of PP, and the second light-transmissive substrate 3B made of PET arranged in this order.

[0064] In the above-described embodiment, the printed matter 1 was described in which the surface protective layer 4 has the first recesses 4c and the light-transmitting substrate 3 (first light-transmitting substrate 3A) has the second recesses 3d. However, the printed matter may also have the surface protective layer 4 having the first recesses 4c and the light-transmitting substrate 3 not having the second recesses 3d. That is, the light-transmitting substrate may not have recesses, and only the surface protective layer may have recesses. In this case, the surface protective layer is thicker than the above-described surface protective layer 4 and is composed of, for example, multiple gravure printing layers. In this way, the aspects of the light-transmitting substrate and the surface protective layer can also be changed as appropriate.

[0065] Furthermore, for the display device, the light source may be a display device, which may be an LED, liquid crystal, organic EL, etc., and if it has a local dimming function, it can make the image clearer. [Explanation of symbols]
