Decorating Sheet Reflection Suppression for Light Image Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Decorating sheets in existing technologies affect the aesthetic design of decoration-target components by making decorating patterns visible when displaying light images, as the patterns overlap with the light image from the front side.
Innovation Solution
A decorating sheet with a base film layer, a decorating layer, a light shielding layer, and a reflection suppressing layer is used, where the reflection suppressing layer is configured to suppress the reflection of the decorating pattern onto the light image, and can include a middle tone layer or a reflection suppressing layer to obscure the visibility of the decorating pattern when a light image is displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If a decorating sheet with a light transmitting section is used to display light images, then light image display function is improved, but the decorating pattern becomes visible and affects aesthetic design
Solution Approach 1:
A reflection suppressing layer is introduced as an intermediary between the decorating layer and the light transmitting section. This layer contains a reflection suppressing image that prevents the decorating pattern from reflecting onto the light image, thereby eliminating the visual interference while preserving both the decorating pattern and light image display functions
Solution Approach 2:
The decorating sheet is constructed as a composite structure with multiple functional layers: a base film layer, a decorating layer with pattern, a reflection suppressing layer with reflection suppressing image, and a light transmitting section. This composite structure allows each layer to perform its specific function while working together to achieve the overall objective of displaying light images without pattern interference
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively obscures the visibility of the decorating pattern from the front side when a light image is displayed, maintaining the aesthetic design and providing a tactile sensation similar to the simulated material, while preventing interference with the contact sensing function of electrostatic sensors.
Implementation Method 1
a reflection suppressing layer provided between the decorating layer and the light shielding layer, the reflection suppressing layer containing a reflection suppressing image that is configured to suppress reflection of the decorating pattern onto a light image that is famed by light transmitted through the light transmitting section
Implementation Method 2
a light shielding layer provided in a back-side direction with respect to the decorating layer, the light shielding layer including a light transmitting section that has a predetermined shape

AI summary
A decorating sheet to be attached to a surface of a decoration-target component includes a base film layer including a sheet-like base film; a decorating layer containing a decorating pattern; a light shielding layer provided in a back-side direction with respect to the decorating layer, the light shielding layer including a light transmitting section that has a predetermined shape; and a reflection suppressing layer provided between the decorating layer and the light shielding layer, the reflection suppressing layer containing a reflection suppressing image that is configured to suppress reflection of the decorating pattern onto a light image that is formed by light transmitted through the light transmitting section.
