  • Patent number: 11345180
    Abstract: A display medium including a display layer for authenticity identification, wherein the display layer contains a droplet-cured product, and the droplet-cured product contains a resin having cholesteric regularity. The droplet-cured product preferably contains a cured product of a liquid crystal material containing a cholesteric liquid crystal compound. The display layer is preferably a cured product of a coating material containing the droplet-cured product. The display layer may contain plural types of droplet-cured products exhibiting different color tones as the droplet-cured product. The display layer may further contain a metal particle.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190033213
    Abstract: An analysis plate including: a substrate; and a molecule immobilized on a surface of the substrate, the molecule specifically recognizing a measurement target substance, wherein the substrate includes a selective reflection layer in at least part of the layer thereof. Preferably, the surface of the substrate has a concavo-convex structure capable of exhibiting a structural color. Preferably, a band of light reflection caused by a selective reflectivity of the selective reflection layer falls within a band of light reflection caused by the concavo-convex structure. Also provided are an analysis method using the same and a production method thereof.
