    Abstract: An optical laminate includes a wavelength selective reflective element, and an absolute phase adjustment layer which is provided on at least one surface side of the wavelength selective reflective element and has optical isotropy, and in which a first region having a first optical path length and a second region having a second optical path length different from the first optical path length are arranged in a pattern with a diffraction grating-like period. The optical laminate reflects light in the specific reflection wavelength region by the wavelength selective reflective element, of light incident from the absolute phase adjustment layer side. In the optical laminate, light which enters the first region of the absolute phase adjustment layer and is reflected by the wavelength selective reflective element and light which enters the second region and is reflected by the wavelength selective reflective element interfere with each other.

    Abstract: The information processor includes an input unit having an illuminating part and an image pickup part, and an input medium having an input surface on which inputting of information is carried out by the input unit which has position coordinates on the input surface coded by a dot pattern. The input unit irradiates light from the illuminating part onto input surface of the input medium. The irradiated light reflects off the dot contained in the dot pattern which is picked up by the image pickup part, and position information of the dot pattern is obtained. The input unit further has an input unit angular position measuring part that measures an angular position of the input unit when the light is irradiated. Based on corrected position information obtained by correction processing based on the angular position, input information, that is specified by the position coordinates is obtained.
