Patent number: 11774650Abstract: A display body includes a display surface including a plurality of display region groups. Each display region includes at least one reflection surface that is configured to reflect light incident on the display surface toward an area including a corresponding one of reflection directions that are associated with the respective display region groups. Each display region group is configured to form an image unique to the display region group in a corresponding one of the reflection directions through reflection of light on the reflection surfaces in the display region group. The display region groups are configured to form, in two adjacent ones of the reflection directions, different images that have a interrelation between each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomoko Tashiro, Keitaro Sugihara, Toshiki Toda

Optical element, transfer foil, authentication medium, and method of verifying authentication medium
Patent number: 11511558Abstract: A subwavelength grating displaying a colored image exhibiting a color corresponding to a grating period of a subwavelength grating in reflection directions including a specular reflection direction. A relief surface displaying a reflection image in monochromatic reflected light in reflection directions including a direction different from the specular reflection direction. An optical element has a first state in which neither a colored image nor a reflection image is displayed, a second state in which the colored image is mainly displayed, and a third state in which the reflection image is mainly displayed. A plane in which the optical element is disposed and a plane including a line of sight of an observer form an observation angle therebetween. The optical element is observed in any of the first, second and third states according to the observation angle.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Hanako Yamamoto, Keitaro Sugihara, Tomoko Tashiro, Akihito Kagotani -
