  • Patent number: 7268926
    Abstract: A hologram laminate and a hologram label allow traces of separation of the hologram to be clearly left on both the adherend and the hologram label and hence makes it possible to prevent reuse of the hologram and is excellent in graphical design function and suitable for certification purposes. The hologram laminate has a colored layer, a release pattern, a transparent film, a hologram layer and a surface protective layer laminated on an adherend in the order mentioned. The hologram layer includes a volume hologram layer having a relief hologram forming relief interference fringe pattern formed on a surface thereof. When the hologram is separated between the adherend and the transparent film, the colored layer is left on the adherend in a pattern corresponding to the release pattern.

A hologram label used for the fabrication of the hologram laminate is also provided. The hologram laminate has a colored layer, a release pattern, a transparent film, a hologram layer and a surface protective layer laminated on an adherend in the order mentioned. The hologram layer includes a volume hologram layer and a relief hologram layer having a transparent thin-film layer over the surface of the relief interference fringe pattern. The volume hologram layer and the relief hologram layer are superimposed so as to be switchable from one to another. The hologram laminate is separable between the adherend and the transparent film.

A hologram label used for the fabrication of the hologram laminate is also provided. The hologram laminate has a metal thin-film layer, a release pattern, a transparent film, a hologram layer and a surface protective layer laminated on an adherend in the order mentioned. The hologram laminate is separable between the adherend and the transparent film. When the hologram is separated, the metal thin-film layer is left on the adherend in a pattern corresponding to the release pattern. The hologram label has a release sheet in place of the adherend in the hologram laminate.
