Abstract: Provided is an image forming device capable of managing a printing result of a specific content as a use history of a user designated in advance. According to embodiments, an image forming device includes a printer, a memory, and a processor. The printer forms an image on a medium. The memory stores information indicating a designated user with respect to a specific content as a printing person to print the specific content. When printing of a specific content for which a designated user as a printing person is stored in the memory in correspondence is requested, the processor controls printing of the specific content by the printer with the designated user as the printing person.

Abstract: An image display element includes a display layer configured to display first to n-th (where n is an integer of 2 or more) images; a light-shielding pattern layer disposed opposite to the display layer and having alternately disposed light-shielding parts and light-transmitting parts, and a transparent layer disposed between the display layer and the light-shielding pattern layer. The display layer contains a coloring matter, where the coloring matter forms first to n-th images; each of the first to n-th images is divided in a discrete manner corresponding to the arrangement pattern of the light-transmitting parts; and an image visible through the light-shielding pattern layer changes depending on the angle from which the light-shielding pattern layer is viewed.
