Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first substrate; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate; a bonding layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a first decorative layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A structure comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate; a bonding layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a first decorative layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate. 2 . The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate has a light-transmitting property. 3 . The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first decorative layer is provided between the first substrate and the bonding layer. 4 . The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first decorative layer includes a dielectric multilayer film. 5 . The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first decorative layer has different thicknesses in an in-plane direction. 6 . The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer serves as the first decorative layer. 7 . The structure according to claim 6 , wherein the bonding layer includes a first base layer, a metal bonding layer, and a second base layer in order from a side of the first substrate, and at least one of the first base layer or the metal bonding layer serves as the first decorative layer. 8 . The structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a second decorative layer between the first substrate and the second substrate. 9 . The structure according to claim 8 , wherein the bonding layer serves as the second decorative layer. 10 . The structure according to claim 9 , wherein the bonding layer includes a first base layer, a metal bonding layer, and a second base layer in order from a side of the first substrate, and one of the first base layer and the metal bonding layer serves as the first decorative layer, and another of the first base layer and the metal bonding layer serves as the second decorative layer. 11 . The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate has a light-transmitting property. 12 . The structure according to claim 11 , further comprising a third decorative layer between the second substrate and the bonding layer. 13 . An exterior housing comprising a structure, the structure including a first substrate, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate, a bonding layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a first decorative layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate. 14 . The exterior housing according to claim 13 , further comprising a functional element. 15 . The exterior housing according to claim 14 , wherein the functional element is a light-emitting element. 16 . The exterior housing according to claim 15 , wherein the light-emitting element is disposed on a side surface of the first substrate.
