  • Publication number: 20220314683
    Abstract: A display includes first and second portions and is deformable between a first state in which the portions are spaced apart from each other and a second state in which the portions overlap each other, wherein the first portion includes first and second regions each having a shape extending in a first direction and alternately and regularly arranged in a second direction, each of the first regions being a light-permeable region provided with a light-deflecting structure, and each of the second regions being a transparent region having flat front and back surfaces, and a latent image is recorded in the second portion, the latent image being identifiable or easy to identify when observed through the first portion in the second state.

  • Patent number: 11427025
    Abstract: A display that exhibits improved anti-counterfeiting effects. The display includes an uneven-structure-forming layer having an uneven structure on one surface and a reflecting layer that covers at least part of an unevenly structured surface. In the display, the uneven-structure-forming layer includes a first region group including a plurality of first regions, each first region including a flat part and a plurality of convexities or a plurality of concavities, the top surface of each of the convexities or the bottom surface of each of the concavities is substantially parallel to a surface of the flat part; distances between the centers of adjacent convexities or concavities are not equal; the convexities have a uniform height, or the concavities have a uniform depth; the first region group is formed, with the first regions arrayed inside at a regular pitch.

  • Patent number: 10921500
    Abstract: A concavo-convex structure forming layer with a concavo-convex structure on one surface; and a light-reflecting layer on at least part of a surface of the concavo-convex structure. In the optical element, the concavo-convex structure forming layer includes a unit group made up of a plurality of units whose concavo-convex structures are different from each other; each of the units has a flat portion and either a plurality of convexities or a plurality of concavities, with an upper surface of each convexity or a bottom surface of each concavity being substantially parallel to a surface of the flat portion; the convexities or the concavities adjacent to each other have center-to-center distances that are not constant; the convexities or the concavities have a constant height or depth; and in the unit group, units having an identical concavo-convex structure are not arrayed at a pitch of less than 150 ?m.
