Abstract: An optical display body (1) is provided with: a stripe mask (10) that includes a transmission part (T) and a reflection part (R) that is wider than the transmission part, a transmission part and a reflection part which are alternately arranged so as to form a stripe pattern; and a printed body (20) that includes a flattened design (21A) which is a visible image (21B) flattened in a Y direction and which is printed two or more times repeatedly in an X direction. The stripe mask, upon being superimposed on the printed body such that a stripe direction of the stripe mask will be coincident with the X direction of the printed body, allows a visible image to be displayed through the stripe mask.

Abstract: A display member includes: a surface which is an observation object; a first image pattern which is covered by the surface and displays, through the surface, a first image including one or more first information elements for identifying an owner of the display member; a second image pattern which is covered by the surface and in which one or more second information elements are embedded, a part of the second image pattern restricting identification of the one or more second information elements, the second image pattern including a second image that differs from the first image and is for identifying the owner of the display member; and a concealment pattern that is located between the second image pattern and the surface and removes the restriction on identification of the one or more second information elements by concealing the part of the second image pattern.

Abstract: A transponder includes an inlet including an antenna sheet, which includes an antenna coil on a flexible first base material, and an IC module connected to the antenna coil, and a second base material, which has an opening for exposing at least a part of the IC module and is bonded to the inlet; a sealing material having electrical insulation is provided between the IC module and an inside face of the opening.

Abstract: The invention provides a thread and counterfeit preventive paper satisfying the conditions that, when the micro-character of the thread is viewed from one side and opposite side of the paper or printed material, the image of micro-character can be recognized in the same direction from any side, not in opposite direction to each other, and that, when viewed from the opposite side, the image of the corresponding micro-character is not visible. The counterfeit preventive paper and counterfeit preventive printed material have a structure in which a thread having metal deposition layers formed in a pattern of micro-character and colored printed layers formed thereon provided on both sides of a strip-like and light permeable substrate is inserted between paper layers.

Abstract: An antenna sheet is provided with a flexible substrate, and an antenna coil, which is connected to a terminal section of an external IC module having an IC chip and is arranged on the substrate. On the substrate, a storing section that stores at least a part of the IC module is formed.
