  • Patent number: 10302956
    Abstract: A stereoscopic sheet having a variable perspective viewing angle and a thin-layered stereoscopic sheet having a three-dimensional decorative effect. The portions of the sheet, viewed three-dimensionally, create dynamic changes according to the perspective distance. The stereoscopic sheet includes convex lenses arrayed on the top surface of the stereoscopic sheet to intersect at regular intervals. A printed layer is formed at the focal distance of the convex lenses. The focal distance of the convex lenses is formed to be approximately 3.5 times longer than the pitch. A repetition gap of a printed pattern formed on a portion of a printed area is determined as a pattern gap to allow the impression of depth or protrusion to be sensed at a short-sighted distance. The repetition gap of the printed pattern is less than a parallax gap at a minimum proximity distance within the short-sighted distance by approximately 80%-98%.

  • Patent number: 10261224
    Abstract: An optical element includes a transmission diffraction portion, which reflective portions and transmissive portions. The reflective portions are arranged at equal intervals along a given axis. Each reflective portion reflects light included in the visible light. The light reflected by the reflective portions forms a reflection image. The transmissive portions transmit the visible light. Each transmissive portion is sandwiched by two corresponding reflective portions that are adjacent to each other along the given axis. At least part of each reflective portion forms the reflection image by rendering a reflection angle of the light reflected by the reflective portions different from an angle of light incident on the reflective portions. The transmission diffraction portion forms diffracted images having different colors with diffracted light that is produced by diffracting light transmitted through the transmissive portions in a predetermined direction.

Two beams are polarized in each of three polarization-orientations. Two of the polarization-orientations are orthogonally aligned with each other in P and S orientations. The other polarization-orientation is non-orthogonally aligned in an intermediate orientation. The beams are intensity-homogenized and projected into a line of radiation. Any point on the line of radiation is formed from rays with an angular distribution of polarization-orientation from S to P through the intermediate orientation and back to S through the intermediate orientation.
