    Abstract: Provided are a highly versatile counterfeit-preventive optical element applicable to both the banknote field and the ID field and an information medium including the optical element. A counterfeit-preventive optical element (1) of an embodiment includes a first layer (2), second layer (3), and a third layer (6) that are stacked in this order. A relief structure (R) is provided between the first layer (2) and the second layer (3), the first layer (2) includes a first region (4) and a second region (5), the first region (4) totally reflects incident light incident from the first layer (2) due to at least one of the angle of a face of the relief structure (R) and the refractive index ratio of the first layer (2) and the second layer (3), and the second region (5) transmits or refracts at least some of incident light incident from the first layer (2) due to one of the angle of a face of the relief structure (R) and the refractive index ratio of the first layer (2) and the second layer (3). The transparency of the second region (5) is higher than the transparency of the first region (4) only when the optical element is observed from the first layer (2) at a particular angle.

    Abstract: An optical structure surface including a plurality of display region groups including a first display region group and a second display region group. In each display region group, an azimuth angle is formed between a projection direction and a reference direction, and a plurality of reflective surfaces belonging to the display region produce an image. A plurality of display regions include a set of display regions whose azimuth angles are different from each other, and the plurality of display regions display an image unique to the display region group in a display direction by a plurality of reflective surfaces of each of the display regions. The display directions of the first display region group and the second display group are different to provide a different brightness to their respective images, in the respective display directions of the images.

    Abstract: A light control sheet including a light transmissive resin substrate, and a light control layer formed on the light transmissive resin substrate. The light control layer includes a liquid crystal layer and a pair of electrode layers that sandwich the liquid crystal layer. The light transmissive resin substrate includes a light transmissive resin sheet and a surface-treated layer that has a barrier property, the light transmissive resin sheet has a first surface that faces the light control layer and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and the surface-treated layer is formed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface.
