Abstract:
In an alignment regulating layer, a plurality of regulation regions is defined in plan view perpendicular to the surface of the alignment regulating layer, and the plurality of regulation regions includes at least one first regulation region, at least one second regulation region, and a third regulation region fitted between the first regulation region and the second regulation region. The alignment regulating direction in the first regulation region is a first regulating direction, and the alignment regulating direction in the second regulation region is a second regulating direction that is different from the first regulating direction. In the third regulation region, the alignment regulating direction continuously changes from the first regulating direction to the second regulating direction from a portion contacting the first regulation region toward a portion contacting the second regulation region.
Abstract:
An optical display body (1) is provided with: a stripe mask (10) that includes a transmission part (T) and a reflection part (R) that is wider than the transmission part, a transmission part and a reflection part which are alternately arranged so as to form a stripe pattern; and a printed body (20) that includes a flattened design (21A) which is a visible image (21B) flattened in a Y direction and which is printed two or more times repeatedly in an X direction. The stripe mask, upon being superimposed on the printed body such that a stripe direction of the stripe mask will be coincident with the X direction of the printed body, allows a visible image to be displayed through the stripe mask.
Abstract:
An image display device includes image cells arranged two-dimensionally. Each image cell has a hologram layer. The hologram layer includes a diffraction grating in which a one-dimensional grating pattern extending in a first direction is repeated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Among the plurality of image cells, two or more image cells that are in a row in the second direction and correlated to one color constitute one image cell group. The image cell group includes a section in which the spatial frequency of the diffraction grating is proportionately small as the distance in the second direction from one end of the image cell group increases such that, while a viewpoint is positioned at a predetermined angle relative to an image display device, the two or more image cells constituting the image cell group display the same color as each other.
Abstract:
A display member includes: a surface which is an observation object; a first image pattern which is covered by the surface and displays, through the surface, a first image including one or more first information elements for identifying an owner of the display member; a second image pattern which is covered by the surface and in which one or more second information elements are embedded, a part of the second image pattern restricting identification of the one or more second information elements, the second image pattern including a second image that differs from the first image and is for identifying the owner of the display member; and a concealment pattern that is located between the second image pattern and the surface and removes the restriction on identification of the one or more second information elements by concealing the part of the second image pattern.
Abstract:
A hologram transfer foil according to an embodiment is thermally transferrable to a transfer base member. The hologram transfer foil has a structure configured such that a peeling layer, a diffraction structure forming layer and an adhesive layer are stacked on one surface of a substrate. the diffraction structure forming layer includes fine concaves and convexes of a hologram or a diffraction grating. At least one of the peeling layer and the adhesive layer includes heat-conductive hidden information in a heat-conductive hidden information possession portion.
Abstract:
In an information recording medium, in which an information recording medium has diffraction grating cells arranged therein, a plurality of types of the diffraction grating cells make up one information recording area. At least one type of the diffraction grating cells included in the diffraction grating cells making up the information recording area are information recording elements, while the other types of the diffraction grating cells included in the diffraction grating cells making up the information recording area are information hiding elements. The information is recorded by two-dimensional arrangement of the diffraction grating cells constituting the information recording elements in the information recording area.
