    Abstract: An optical assembly includes a spacer layer which is translucent or transparent; an image forming reflector which has a reflective layer being formed at least in a first region of the spacer layer; and a protective layer which is laminated over the spacer layer and the image forming reflector and the protective layer being translucent or transparent. The spacer layer is made of a polyolefin or/and a polymer containing an aryl group. The image forming reflector includes a visible image which is authenticatable. The image forming reflector has an individual information record in which a code is stored in the form of a plurality of removed linear segments. The image forming reflector has white level regions and a black level region in planar view. Each of the white level regions has the removed linear segments formed therein. The black level region is interposed between the white level regions.

    Abstract: An optical identifier including a recording surface, a plurality of deflection cells each of which has recorded thereon a range in which light to be diffracted is deflected, at least one spatial phase modulator which fills a space between the deflection cells on the recording surface, and a deposition layer which covers part or all of the recording surface. The deflection cells has a spatial frequency expressed in a form of a relief structure and are discretely formed on the recording surface at regular intervals away from each other. A variable color image is recorded by pixels defined by the deflection cells. The spatial phase modulator has thereon a distribution of phase differences recorded in a form of heights of the relief structure. The spatial phase modulator modulates a phase of light outputted from a point light source and displays a reproduced image.

    Abstract: A forming mold has a surface in contact with a deposited film, a part or an entire part being a first wavy surface. A wave period of the first wavy surface is in a range of 250 nm or more and 500 nm or less. The deposited film conforms to the surface of the forming mold. The first wavy surface includes a plurality of rib surfaces, a plurality of groove surfaces, and a plurality of taper surfaces connecting the rib surfaces to the respective groove surfaces. The deposited film has a peak zone, a valley zone, and a transition zone. One of the peak zone, the valley zone, and the transition zone and another one of the peak zone, the valley zone, and the transition zone are different or has portions different in thickness and/or volume density.
