  • Patent number: 11333812
    Abstract: A colored structure representing a back side-reflection color with metallic luster and high chroma when observed in a substrate incident mode greatly enhances light absorbance at a specific wavelength using a resonance structure in which a light absorbing material is inserted between a transparent substrate and an upper mirror layer. The colored structure controls metallic luster and texture of a high-chroma color from gloss-semi-gloss-matte texture in various aesthetic ways including introducing a haze surface structure in which light scattering occurs on at least one surface of the transparent substrate.
