  • Publication number: 20190105939
    Abstract: A display includes a plurality of pixels arranged in matrix. Each of the pixels includes a single reflecting surface, and all the reflecting surfaces include a set of the reflecting surfaces that allow light incident in a predetermined direction to be reflected in a direction predefined for the respective reflecting surfaces, so that light reflected by all the reflecting surfaces forms an image which appears in a specific direction, which is a direction common to all the reflecting surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9933551
    Abstract: A display includes a substrate with a light-transmitting property, a relief structure-forming layer disposed on at least one surface of the substrate and including a relief-structured region on a surface thereof opposite to its surface in contact with the substrate, a light-reflecting layer disposed on the surface of the relief structure-forming layer including the relief-structured region, and a printed layer formed on a surface of the substrate opposite to the surface on which the relief structure-forming layer is disposed, or between the relief structure-forming layer and the light-reflecting layer, or on a side of the light-reflecting layer opposite to its surface in contact with the relief structure-forming layer. The relief-structured region is constituted by recessed or protruding portions arranged two-dimensionally, has low reflectivity and low diffusibility under a normal illumination condition, and exhibits a diffracted light-emitting property under a specific condition.

  • Patent number: 9931883
    Abstract: An image display according to an embodiment includes a first image-displaying portion that displays first information about a certain object as a first image of object color, and a second image-displaying portion that displays second information about the object as a second image of structural color provided by a relief structure, the relief structure including at least one structure selected from the group consisting of diffraction grating, hologram, and light-scattering structure having an anisotropic light-scattering property. According to an example, the object is a person, and the first image includes a facial image of the person. A labeled article according to another embodiment includes the image display, and a substrate supporting the image display.

  • Publication number: 20180076410
    Abstract: An organic EL (electroluminescent) device includes a translucent substrate, a transparent electrode, a luminescent layer, and a cathode placed over one surface of the translucent substrate, and a light extraction film having unevenness placed on the other surface. The surface of the cathode facing the luminescent layer has a plurality of recesses or protrusions. The Fourier transform image of the surface of the cathode facing the luminescent layer has a surface plasmon absorption suppression area including a spatial frequency v obtained from Eq. (I) and a light scattering area not including spatial frequencies equal to or greater than the spatial frequency v.
