Abstract: A transfer mold includes a body, a first layer, and a second layer. The body has a projecting-and-recessed surface. The first layer contains an inorganic material and is disposed on the projecting-and-recessed surface of the body. The second layer contains fluorine and is disposed on a surface of the first layer. The average of hardness values of the projecting-and-recessed surface on which the first and second layers are disposed is 30 Hv or higher.

Abstract: An optical unit having an antireflection function includes a wave surface having a wavelength equal to or shorter than a wavelength of visible light. The wave surface has a curved plane which curves in a recessed shape between an apex portion and a bottom portion of the wave surface. An inflection point of an area of a cross section obtained by cutting through the wave surface in a plane perpendicular to a direction of vibration of the wave surface is positioned toward the bottom portion of the wave surface from a center of the vibration.

Abstract: There is provided an infrared signal receiver which includes a photo-detector unit receiving light in a predetermined infrared wavelength region, sent from a remote operating unit; and an optical element disposed in front of the photo-detector unit, allowing the light of the predetermined infrared wavelength region to transmit therethrough in preference to other infrared wavelength region. In the receiver, the predetermined signal wavelength region is a region of 930 nm or longer and 960 nm or shorter, and mean transmittance of light of the optical element in the predetermined signal wavelength region is larger than mean transmittance of light in a region of 900 nm or longer and shorter than 930 nm, and/or, mean transmittance of light in a region of longer than 960 nm and 1,020 nm or shorter.

Abstract: The present invention realizes forming of a hard coat having excellent leveling without lowering physical properties. An information signal portion is formed on a substrate. A light transmitting sheet is bonded to the substrate with a bonding layer disposed therebetween to form a light transmitting layer. There is obtained a composition for hard coat by adding a low molecular-weight reactive diluent to a solvent-type hard coat agent. The composition for hard coat is coated on the light transmitting layer uniformly by a spin coating method. The coated composition for hard coat is cured to be a hard coat.
