Decorative film
A decorative film includes a dark-colored opaque substrate, which includes a surface that includes an uneven section, and a transparent decorative layer, which is stacked on the surface of the opaque substrate and closely contacts the uneven section. The uneven section includes ridges and grooves, which are located between the ridges. The ridges extend in directions of the same tendency, and the grooves extend in directions of the same tendency as the ridges. A minute uneven section formed in the top surface of each ridge includes minute ridges and minute grooves, which are located between the minute ridges. The minute ridges extend in directions of the same tendency and have a narrower width than the ridges and the grooves, and the minute grooves extend in directions of the same tendency as the minute ridges and have a narrower width than the ridges and the grooves.
1. A decorative film comprising:
a dark-colored opaque substrate, which has a surface that includes an uneven section; and
a transparent decorative layer, which is stacked on the surface of the opaque substrate and closely contacts the uneven section, wherein
the uneven section includes a plurality of ridges, which extend in directions of the same tendency, and a plurality of grooves, which are each located between adjacent ones of the ridges and extend in directions of the same tendency as the ridges,
each ridge has a top surface, which includes a minute uneven section,
the minute uneven section includes a plurality of minute ridges, which extend in directions of the same tendency and have a narrower width than the ridges and the grooves, and a plurality of minute grooves, which are each located between adjacent ones of the minute ridges and extend in a direction of the same tendency as the minute ridges and have a narrower width than the ridges and the grooves,
the minute ridges extend in directions that intersect the directions in which the ridges extend, and
the minute ridges and the minute grooves of the minute uneven section of a given ridge and the minute ridges and the minute grooves of the minute uneven section of an adjacent ridge exhibit line symmetry with respect to an imaginary line extending along the ridges and the grooves of the uneven section.
2. The decorative film according to claim 1 , wherein each groove has a flat bottom surface.
3. The decorative film according to claim 1 , wherein the minute ridges of a given one of the ridges extend in directions that differ from directions in which the minute ridges of one of the ridges that is adjacent to the given one of the ridges extend.
4. The decorative film according to claim 1 , wherein
the top surface of one of the ridges includes a plurality of the minute uneven sections, and
the minute ridges of one of two adjacent ones of the plurality of the minute uneven sections extend in directions that differ from directions in which the minute ridges of the other one of the two adjacent ones of the plurality of the minute uneven sections extend.
5. The decorative film according to claim 1 , wherein the opaque substrate is colored in black.
