Patent number: 11623466Abstract: A display medium that is able to arbitrarily change the display of recorded optical image information even when viewed from the same field of view, and an image display method that uses that display medium. The display medium includes a diffraction structure section on which optical image information is recorded, a chromic device that controls the reflection and transmission using voltage, and a power supply that is connected to the chromic device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventor: Hidetaka Ide

Patent number: 10792949Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Hidetaka Ide, Naoki Minamikawa

Patent number: 10737525Abstract: A watermarked paper which allows for arbitrary changing of a watermark pattern or displaying of recorded optical image information even during observation from the same field of view. The watermarked paper is obtained by mixing into a paper layer an intermediate layer with a thickness of 6-300 ?m that has a dimmer of which a light transmission amount changes according to a voltage state, characterized in that the watermarked paper includes a power supply for supplying power to the dimmer in the intermediate layer or on a paper surface, and a watermark image is changed by switching the dimmer between a transparent state and a mirror state by controlling a voltage by power supplied from the power supply.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventor: Hidetaka Ide

Patent number: 9827804Abstract: Provided are diffraction structure transfer foil that further improves usefulness of the diffraction structure transfer foil in authenticity determination by allowing a greater variety of diffracted-light patterns to be observed, and a forgery prevention medium using the diffraction structure transfer foil. The diffraction structure transfer foil (21) includes a transfer foil substrate (1), a peeling-off protective layer (2) that is laminated on one surface of the transfer foil substrate (1), a laminated body for diffracted-light delivery (13a) that is laminated on the peeling-off protective layer (2), and an adhesive layer (9) that is laminated on the laminated body for diffracted-light delivery (13a). The laminated body for diffracted-light delivery (13a) includes a diffraction structure forming body in which a plurality of diffraction structures (4 and 7) are formed, and a reflective layer (5a or 8a) that is formed in accordance with each of the plurality of diffraction structures (4 and 7).Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventor: Hidetaka Ide

Publication number: 20150125660Abstract: An anti-counterfeit paper including a first paper layer, a second paper layer, an intermediate layer formed between the first paper layer and the second paper layer, and a reflection layer formed on the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer includes a transparent base material and has a thickness in a range of from 6 ?m to 200 ?m. The intermediate layer includes irregularities formed on one or more surfaces. The irregularities have varying shapes depending on positions such that a difference in height is in a range of from 10 nm to 700 nm and that a difference in an aspect ratio is in a range of from 0.5 to 10. The reflection layer is formed on at least a portion of surfaces of the irregularities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2014Publication date: May 7, 2015Applicant: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventor: Hidetaka IDE
