The present invention provides a product with an operation display panel incorporated therein, which naturally harmonizes with the environment to not create visual noise for a user and allow the user to operate the operation display panel intuitively while feeling a natural material. A thin layer, made of a natural wood, natural fiber, natural leather, or natural stone, or a resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic leather or artificial stone created by imitating the appearance and touch of a natural material, is provided on the peripheral surface of a housing so that the thin layer covers at least the entire front surface of a display panel. A touch sensor incorporated comes in contact with the front surface of the panel. The thickness of the thin layer and the luminance of the panel are designed to allow the user to view the content displayed on the panel.

Product with incorporated operation display panel

The present invention is urethane resin particles (C) for slush mold which contain a urethane resin (D) and an additive (N), wherein the particles have a shape factor SF1 of 101 to 200, a shape factor SF2 of 120 to 240, and a central particle diameter of 20 to 500 &#x3bc;m. It is preferred that the urethane resin (D) has a concentration of urea groups of 0.5 to 10% by weight, a total of the concentration of urethane groups and that of the urea groups of 4 to 20% by weight, a melting point of 160 to 260&#xb0; C. and a glass transition temperature of &#x2212;65 to 0&#xb0; C.

Process for producing urethane resin particles for slush molding

Provided are urethane resin particles for slush molding which make it possible that inconveniences based on the slip-down of a pigment, on the aggregation of particles of the pigment, and on other causes are removed although this coloring is coloring onto the resin particle surfaces. The present invention is urethane resin particles for slush mold which contain a urethane resin and an additive, wherein the particles have a shape factor SFof 101 to 200, a shape factor SFof 120 to 240, and a central particle diameter of 20 to 500 &#x3bc;m. It is preferred that the urethane resin has a concentration of urea groups of 0.5 to 10% by weight, a total of the concentration of urethane groups and that of the urea groups of 4 to 20% by weight, a melting point of 160 to 260&#xb0; C. and a glass transition temperature of &#x2212;65 to 0&#xb0; C.
