摘要:
There is provided a latent image carrier from which data can be reliably read for a long time. It includes a data storage layer (2) having a latent image pattern formed of fine phosphor paticles dispersed and held on a substrate (4a). When the layer (2) is irradiated with light having a predetermined wavelength, the luminescence from the fine phosphor particles is read as optical information. When irradiated with such light, the surface of the substrate (4a) has a reflectivity of at least 20 %. The data storage layer (2) has a thickness T of 0.5 to 20 νm above the upper surface of the substrate (4a), and a protective sheet (6a) is laminated on the substrate (4a) to cover the data storage layer (2) as a whole.

摘要:
A phosphor that emits light having a wavelength different from that of the radiated exciting light, the phosphor comprising ultrafine particles having an average size smaller than the wavelength of the fluorescence emitted therefrom at the maximum luminous intensity or the wavelength of the exciting light at the maximum luminous intensity; a process for producing the phosphor; a composition containing the phosphor; and ink ribbon, fluorescent mark carrier, optical character reader, article sorting system, detection mark and mark-detecting method, each utilizing the phosphor. An example thereof is one represented by the general formula: LnxA1-xPO4, wherein: Ln represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nd, Yb and Er; A represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Y, La, Gd, Bi, Ce, Lu, In and Tb; and x is a number ranging from 0.01 to 0.99.

摘要:
A high-reliability optical mark reader for a latent image mark capable of accurately reading code information of a latent image mark. The reader comprises a projector element (4) for projecting onto the surface of the latent image mark (15), which contains a fluorescent substance and has specified information, light having a wavelength for excitation of the fluorescent substance, and a light receiving element (8) for receiving fluorescence emitted from the surface of the latent image mark (15). A range where a latent image mark is readable is defined with an intersection of optical axes of the projector element and the light receiving element as a reference, and a crossing angle (ϑ) of the two optical axes is restricted to 40° or less.
