    Abstract: A color developing structure has an uneven layer with an uneven structure on a surface thereof, a multilayer film layer positioned on the uneven structure and having a surface shape that follows the uneven structure, and a protective layer covering the surface of the multilayer film layer. Projections that constitute the uneven structure have a shape with one or more steps, a pattern constituted from projected images of the projections in a virtual plane on which the uneven structure is projected in the thickness direction of the uneven layer includes a pattern comprising a set of a plurality of rectangles in which a length along a second direction is equal to or greater than a length along a first direction, the length of the rectangles along the first direction is equal to or less than subdirection is greater than the standard deviation of the length along the first direction.

    Abstract: An information recording medium is formed by laminating a transparent protective layer and a base material having laser color-developing properties. The information recording medium includes an intermediate layer that is disposed between the transparent protective layer and the base material. In the information recording medium, the intermediate layer includes a diffraction structure layer that has a diffraction structure, and a first reflective layer that reflects visible light and is destroyed when irradiated with a laser beam. Light, when incident from a transparent protective layer side, causes a diffracted light pattern to appear in the diffraction structure layer so as to be observable from the transparent protective layer side. A laser beam, when applied from the transparent protective layer side, passes through the diffraction structure layer, destroys the first reflective layer, and develops color in the base material.

    Abstract: A laminate includes a diffraction layer that is optically transmissive and includes a diffraction part with a plurality of diffraction units being repetition of a diffraction unit in a direction extending the diffraction layer, each diffraction unit including at least one diffraction element with a reflective diffraction grating; and an absorption layer that is optically transmissive with a plurality of absorption parts for at least part of visible light, the absorption layer facing the diffraction layer with light passing between the diffraction layer and the absorption layer. The laminate has an observation side opposite where the diffraction layer faces the absorption layer; the diffraction layer has a surface serving as a front surface opposite to the surface facing the absorption layer; and in plan view perpendicular to the front surface of the diffraction layer, each of the absorption parts aligns with one of the diffraction elements.

    Abstract: A laminated transfer medium that can be used to make a printed matter or the like which includes a fine relief structure with an improved or even high non-defective rate. The laminated transfer medium can form a transfer laminate which contains a fine relief structure section having a fine relief shape onto a transfer target by using a hot stamp, and characterized in that the laminated transfer medium includes a carrier base, a bonding layer formed on the carrier base, a fine relief structure section having a fine relief shape being disposed on the bonding layer, and an adhesive layer formed on the fine relief structure section, wherein the fine relief structure section is made up of separate discrete pieces positioned to be contained in area to be transferred by using the hot stamp.

    Abstract: A transfer sheet includes: a peelable substrate; a resin layer that is in contact with the peelable substrate so as to be peelable and has an uneven structure on a surface opposite to a surface in contact with the peelable substrate; a thin film layer that is located on the uneven structure and has a surface shape following the uneven structure and from which reflected light enhanced by interference emerges; a low transmission layer that is located on a side of the thin film layer opposite to the resin layer and has a lower transmittance for light in a visible range than the thin film layer; and an adhesive layer that is located on a side of the low transmission layer.

    Abstract: An individual certificate medium includes an optical security patch in which a relief layer and a metal layer include a first area and a second area. The first area includes an altered region and a portion of the relief layer overlapping with the altered region as viewed in the thickness direction of a recording layer. The second area includes a non-altered region and another portion of the relief layer overlapping with the non-altered region as viewed in the thickness direction. As viewed in the thickness direction, the first area transmits light incident thereon, while the second area absorbs light incident thereon to hide a recording region. In a direction intersecting the thickness direction, the first and second areas cause light incident on the optical security patch to emerge as diffracted light.

    Abstract: A transfer foil comprises a film-like substrate, and a layered transfer body having a pair of opposing surfaces and having an adhesion layer. A first surface of the pair of opposing surfaces is in contact with the substrate so as to be peelable from the substrate, and the adhesion layer is provided so as to include a second surface of the pair of opposing surfaces. The adhesion layer is a composite, and comprises a plurality of resin particles respectively comprising a first resin, and a layered base material comprising a second resin and filling gaps between the resin particles. The melting point of the second resin is lower than the melting point of the first resin. The transfer foil uses an adhesion layer of a composite of two incompatible resins that have different characteristics, such as melting point and crystallinity.
