Description

ホログラム画像形成用媒体及びそれを用いた画像表示媒体Hologram image forming medium and image display medium using the same
 本発明は、ホログラム画像形成用媒体、及び、それを用いた画像表示媒体に関わるものである。 The present invention relates to a hologram image forming medium and an image display medium using the same.
 パスポート及びID(Identification)カードなどの個人認証媒体の多くは、目視による個人認証を可能とするために、顔画像を有している。例えば、パスポートでは、従来、顔画像を焼き付けた印画紙が冊子体に貼り付けられていた。しかしながら、そのようなパスポートは、印画紙の貼り替えによって改竄される恐れがある。 Many personal authentication media such as passports and ID (Identification) cards have face images to enable visual personal authentication. For example, in a passport, conventionally, photographic paper on which a face image is printed is pasted on a booklet. However, such a passport may be tampered with by changing the photographic paper.
 このような理由で、近年では、顔画像の情報をデジタル化し、これを冊子上に再現する方法が採られている。この画像再現方法として、昇華型や顔料を分散させた熱溶融型の転写リボンによる感熱転写記録法、あるいは、電子写真法などが検討されている。 For these reasons, recently, a method of digitizing facial image information and reproducing it on a booklet has been adopted. As this image reproduction method, a thermal transfer recording method using a heat melting type transfer ribbon in which a sublimation type or a pigment is dispersed, or an electrophotographic method has been studied.
 パスポートへの画像再現方法として、上記方法以外に、インクジェットプリンターによる記録法(例えば、特許文献1参照)、炭酸ガスもしくはYAGレーザーと感熱発色剤とを使用したレーザー印字記録法(例えば、特許文献2参照)などが挙げられる。さらには、パスポートへの画像再現方法として、基材中に存在する炭素(C)を利用して、基材の深さ方向にも印字記録するレーザーエングレービング印字記録法(例えば、特許文献3参照)などが挙げられる。 As an image reproduction method for a passport, in addition to the above method, a recording method using an ink jet printer (for example, see Patent Document 1), a laser printing recording method using a carbon dioxide gas or a YAG laser and a thermal color former (for example, Patent Document 2). For example). Furthermore, as a method for reproducing an image on a passport, a laser engraving printing recording method (for example, Patent Document 3) in which carbon (C) existing in the substrate is used for printing recording in the depth direction of the substrate. For example).
 さらに、この種の個人認証データを含む画像表示体として、画像データに基づいて形成された画像パターンをポリ塩化ビニルなどから形成されたカード基材上に備えたものなどが知られている。あるいは、画像表示体として、上記画像パターンに加えて、OVD(Optical Variable Device)画像を表示するものが知られている。OVD画像は、ホログラム、回折格子、あるいは、多層干渉を用いた光学的薄膜などを用いて表示される画像である。なお、光学的薄膜によれば、光学設計によりカラーシフトなどの効果が得られる。 Further, as an image display body including this kind of personal authentication data, an image display body provided with an image pattern formed on the basis of image data on a card substrate made of polyvinyl chloride or the like is known. Alternatively, an image display that displays an OVD (Optical Variable Device) image in addition to the image pattern is known. The OVD image is an image displayed using a hologram, a diffraction grating, an optical thin film using multilayer interference, or the like. According to the optical thin film, an effect such as color shift can be obtained by optical design.
 これらホログラムや回折格子を用いるOVD技術は、高度な製造技術を要し、複製の難しいことから有効な偽造防止手段としてクレジットカード、IDカード、及び、プリペイドカードなどのカード類に利用されてきた。さらには、その装飾性の高さから、包装材、書籍、パンフレット、及び、POPなどへの利用も少なくない。これらOVDを物品に貼着するための手段として、従来から、転写箔を用いて転写形成する方法が採られている。 These OVD techniques using holograms and diffraction gratings require advanced manufacturing techniques and are difficult to duplicate, so they have been used for cards such as credit cards, ID cards, and prepaid cards as effective forgery prevention means. Furthermore, due to its high decorativeness, it is often used for packaging materials, books, pamphlets, and POPs. As a means for sticking these OVDs to articles, a method of transferring and forming using a transfer foil has been conventionally employed.
 このようなOVD転写箔は偽造防止効果としては、十分な機能を果たすが、パスポートの様に顔写真などの画像形成後に該画像上にOVD転写層を熱的に転写して形成している。そのため、偽造技術の発達した現在では、何らかの手法により転写層を一旦取り去り、画像データなどの改竄を行った後に改めてOVD転写層を載せるといったことが行われる可能性がある。 Such an OVD transfer foil performs a sufficient function as an anti-counterfeiting effect, but is formed by thermally transferring an OVD transfer layer on the image after forming an image such as a face photograph like a passport. Therefore, at the present time when the forgery technology has been developed, there is a possibility that the transfer layer is temporarily removed by some method, and after the image data or the like is altered, the OVD transfer layer is placed again.
 さらに、盗難されたパスポートなどの認証媒体の写真と顔の形状や雰囲気が似ている人を選定して、OVD転写層を印字写真の顔の上から張ることで、画像データの改竄が行われる可能性もある。 Furthermore, by selecting a person whose face shape and atmosphere is similar to the photo of an authentication medium such as a stolen passport, the OVD transfer layer is stretched over the face of the printed photo, so that the image data is falsified. There is a possibility.
 また、顔写真などの画像情報を形成する手段としての熱転写方式、インクジェット方式あるいは、電子写真方式などのプリンタは、昨今では一般に広く普及している状況を考慮すると、画像形成部を取り除いた後の領域に新たに画像を形成することは、必ずしも困難とは言い切れない。 Also, thermal transfer, ink jet, or electrophotographic printers as means for forming image information such as facial photographs have been widely used nowadays, after the image forming portion has been removed. It is not necessarily difficult to form a new image in a region.
 上記のような問題を解決すべく、顔写真などの個人を特定する情報を個人認証媒体に複数個付与する方法が考えられている。その一方法として、顔写真などの画像情報をホログラム又は回折格子などで形成するといった、ホログラムリボンを用いた直接熱転写方式が知られている(例えば、特許文献4参照)。これにより、カラー画像による顔写真などの改竄と同時にホログラム画像の改竄も行わなければ成らなくなるため、より改竄を困難にすることができる。この場合、ホログラム画像と有色インキ画像とを併用して用いることが考えられる(例えば、特許文献5、6参照)。 In order to solve the above problems, a method of giving a plurality of pieces of information for identifying an individual such as a face photograph to a personal authentication medium is considered. As one of the methods, a direct thermal transfer method using a hologram ribbon, in which image information such as a face photograph is formed by a hologram or a diffraction grating, is known (for example, see Patent Document 4). This makes it difficult to alter the hologram image unless the hologram image is altered at the same time as falsification of a face photograph using a color image. In this case, it is conceivable to use a hologram image and a colored ink image in combination (for example, see Patent Documents 5 and 6).

 しかしながら、ホログラムリボンを用いたホログラム画像形成手段と通常の有色インキ画像との組み合わせでは、目視による真贋判定機能ならびに装飾性の付与を行うことはできるが、更なる偽造防止判定機能として簡易的な機器判定機能も求められている。そこで、本発明では、簡便な手法で判定可能な更なるセキュリティ機能を有するホログラム画像形成用媒体、及び、画像表示媒体を提供することを目的とする。 However, the combination of a hologram image forming means using a hologram ribbon and a normal colored ink image can provide a visual authenticity determination function and a decoration, but it is a simple device as a further anti-counterfeit determination function. A judgment function is also required. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hologram image forming medium having an additional security function that can be determined by a simple technique, and an image display medium.

 以下、一実施形態について、図1から図6を参照しながら説明する。
 図1はホログラム画像形成用媒体の構成例を示した断面図である。
Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a hologram image forming medium.
 図1が示すように、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200は、ホログラム画像を形成するための微細凹凸構造パターンを含むOVD層を備えている。具体的には、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200において、基材201の片面にバックコート層202が位置し、その反対側の面に、剥離層203、OVD層204、反射層205、及び、接着層206がこの順に積み重なっている。接着層206は、発光性微粒子207を含んでいる。ホログラム画像形成用媒体200は、バックコート層202を備えるため、サーマルヘッドによる印字時のスティッキングなどの不具合を低減することができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the hologram image forming medium 200 includes an OVD layer including a fine concavo-convex structure pattern for forming a hologram image. Specifically, in the hologram image forming medium 200, the backcoat layer 202 is positioned on one side of the substrate 201, and the release layer 203, the OVD layer 204, the reflective layer 205, and the adhesive layer are provided on the opposite side. 206 are stacked in this order. The adhesive layer 206 includes luminescent fine particles 207. Since the hologram image forming medium 200 includes the back coat layer 202, it is possible to reduce problems such as sticking during printing by the thermal head.
 ホログラム画像形成用媒体200において、剥離層203、OVD層204、反射層205、及び、接着層206が転写層の一例を構成している。 In the hologram image forming medium 200, the release layer 203, the OVD layer 204, the reflective layer 205, and the adhesive layer 206 constitute an example of a transfer layer.
 ホログラム画像は、サーマルヘッドなどの発熱源をホログラム画像形成用媒体200のバックコート層202に接触させ、被着面である中間箔、あるいは、最終形態となる被転写体のいずれかの部位であって、後述するホログラム画像形成部に感熱転写されることで印画される。即ち、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200には、高温下における基材201からの剥離性、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200のうちで所定以上に加熱された箇所の近傍のみが転写されるための箔キレ性、被着面への密着性、及び、印画時の加熱により画質を損なわない耐熱性が必要である。ホログラム画像形成用媒体200では、各機能を充たすべく各層の構成素材を適宜選択することができる。 The hologram image is a portion of either the intermediate foil that is the adherend surface or the transferred object that is the final form when a heat source such as a thermal head is brought into contact with the backcoat layer 202 of the hologram image forming medium 200. Thus, the image is printed by thermal transfer to a hologram image forming unit described later. That is, the hologram image forming medium 200 is peelable from the base material 201 at a high temperature, and the foil sharpness for transferring only the vicinity of a portion of the hologram image forming medium 200 heated to a predetermined temperature or more. In addition, adhesion to the adherend surface and heat resistance that does not impair image quality due to heating during printing are required. In the hologram image forming medium 200, the constituent material of each layer can be appropriately selected so as to satisfy each function.
 バックコート層202は、サーマルヘッドなどの熱源に密着する層であり、主に耐熱性や滑り性が求められる。バックコート層202の形成材料には、アクリル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、アクリルシリコーン共重合体、及び、ウレタンシリコーン共重合体、あるいは、これらにシリコーンオイルやワックス、油脂、及び、微粒子などを添加した公知のものを適宜選択することができる。 The back coat layer 202 is a layer that is in close contact with a heat source such as a thermal head, and is mainly required to have heat resistance and slipperiness. As a material for forming the back coat layer 202, an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an acrylic silicone copolymer, and a urethane silicone copolymer, or a known material in which silicone oil, wax, fats and oils, fine particles, and the like are added to these materials are used. A thing can be selected suitably.
 基材201の形成材料には、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリオレフィン樹脂、ポリスチレン樹脂、メタクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、塩化ビニル樹脂、及び、シクロオレフィンポリマーや、これらの複合体などの合成樹脂が用いられる。基材201には、基材201の少なくとも一方の面に易接着層のような表面処理が施された層を有するものも使用することができる。 As a forming material of the base material 201, a synthetic resin such as a polyester resin, a polyolefin resin, a polystyrene resin, a methacrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, a vinyl chloride resin, a cycloolefin polymer, or a composite thereof is used. As the base material 201, a base material having a layer on which at least one surface of the base material 201 is subjected to a surface treatment such as an easy-adhesion layer can be used.
 剥離層203は、主に基材201からの剥離性などに関与する部分であり、剥離層203の形成材料には、アクリル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、ブチラール樹脂、エポキシアクリレート樹脂、及び、ウレタンアクリレート樹脂などを単独あるいは混合物として用いることができる。なお、剥離層203の形成材料は、これらに限定されない。更に、これらの樹脂に、ポリエステル樹脂やワックスなどを添加することにより、所望の剥離力が得られるように適宜剥離層203の形成材料における組成を選定することができる。但し、剥離層203には透明性が必要となるため、形成された剥離層203の光透過率は70%以上であることが望ましい。 The release layer 203 is a part mainly related to peelability from the base material 201. The forming material of the release layer 203 includes acrylic resin, epoxy resin, butyral resin, epoxy acrylate resin, urethane acrylate resin, and the like. Can be used alone or as a mixture. Note that the formation material of the separation layer 203 is not limited to these. Furthermore, by adding a polyester resin, wax, or the like to these resins, the composition of the material for forming the release layer 203 can be selected as appropriate so that a desired release force can be obtained. However, since the release layer 203 needs to be transparent, the light release rate of the formed release layer 203 is desirably 70% or more.
 OVD層204の形成材料には、熱や紫外線などの活性線により硬化する公知の樹脂、及び、開始剤を適宜選択することができる。例えば、熱硬化性樹脂として、各種ポリオール樹脂と各種イソシアネート類からなるウレタン樹脂などを用いることができる。また、例えば、紫外線硬化樹脂として、アクリル系ポリマー、及び、アクリル系モノマーなどと光開始剤などとを含んだ公知のものを用いることができる。 As a material for forming the OVD layer 204, a known resin that is cured by active rays such as heat and ultraviolet rays, and an initiator can be appropriately selected. For example, as the thermosetting resin, urethane resins composed of various polyol resins and various isocyanates can be used. Further, for example, as the ultraviolet curable resin, a known resin containing an acrylic polymer, an acrylic monomer, and a photoinitiator can be used.
 OVD層204の表層には、回折光を得るための任意のパターンが形成されるため、OVD層204には、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200の作成工程及び加熱転写時、あるいは転写後の使用環境下において、このパターンの形状が変化することを抑えることが求められる。上述した形成材料によれば、パターンの形状の変化を抑えられる程度の一定以上の耐性をOVD層204に付与することができる。 Since an arbitrary pattern for obtaining diffracted light is formed on the surface layer of the OVD layer 204, the OVD layer 204 is used in the production process of the hologram image forming medium 200 and the use environment after the transfer or after the transfer. Therefore, it is required to suppress a change in the shape of the pattern. According to the above-described forming material, it is possible to provide the OVD layer 204 with a certain level of resistance enough to suppress a change in the shape of the pattern.
 図2が示すように、OVD層204の表層パターンは、例えばR、G、Bの回折光を射出するための異なるパターンを有する色画面と、熱転写時のホログラム画像形成用媒体200の位置情報を読み取るためのセンサーマーク部204Sとから構成されている。色画面はそれぞれ3原色であるR(レッド)、G(グリーン)、B(ブルー)に対応した空間周波数を有している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the surface layer pattern of the OVD layer 204 includes, for example, a color screen having different patterns for emitting R, G, and B diffracted light, and positional information of the hologram image forming medium 200 during thermal transfer. The sensor mark unit 204S for reading is configured. Each color screen has spatial frequencies corresponding to the three primary colors R (red), G (green), and B (blue).
 すなわち、OVD層204の表層パターンは、Rエリア204R、Gエリア204G、及び、Bエリア204Bを含んでいる。Rエリア204Rは赤色の回折光を射出するための空間周波数を有した回折格子を含み、Gエリア204Gは緑色の回折光を射出するための空間周波数を有した回折格子を含み、Bエリア204Bは青色の回折光を射出するための空間周波数を有した回折格子を含んでいる。Rエリア204R、Gエリア204G、及び、Bエリア204Bの各々は、微細凹凸構造部の一例である。 That is, the surface layer pattern of the OVD layer 204 includes an R area 204R, a G area 204G, and a B area 204B. The R area 204R includes a diffraction grating having a spatial frequency for emitting red diffracted light, the G area 204G includes a diffraction grating having a spatial frequency for emitting green diffracted light, and the B area 204B includes A diffraction grating having a spatial frequency for emitting blue diffracted light is included. Each of the R area 204R, the G area 204G, and the B area 204B is an example of a fine concavo-convex structure portion.
 ここで、表層パターンであるR、G、Bなどの色を有した回折光を射出する各回折格子の空間周波数は、必要とする色の波長、照射光の角度、及び視域によって決定される。 Here, the spatial frequency of each diffraction grating that emits diffracted light having colors such as R, G, and B, which are surface layer patterns, is determined by the wavelength of the required color, the angle of the irradiated light, and the viewing zone. .
 例えば、R、G、及び、Bのそれぞれの色において、R光の波長を620nmに規定し、G光の波長を540nmに規定し、B光の波長を460nmに規定する。この場合に、OVD層204が有する表面の法線方向、すなわちOVD層204が広がる2次元平面の法線方向と形成する角度が45度である方向を照射方向に設定し、照射方向から白色の照射光を当て、法線方向にてR、G、および、Bの回折光を観察する場合には、各エリアに下記空間周波数を有するパターンを付与することができる。 For example, in each color of R, G, and B, the wavelength of R light is defined as 620 nm, the wavelength of G light is defined as 540 nm, and the wavelength of B light is defined as 460 nm. In this case, the normal direction of the surface of the OVD layer 204, that is, the normal direction of the two-dimensional plane in which the OVD layer 204 spreads is set as the irradiation direction, and the direction in which the angle is formed is set as the irradiation direction. When irradiating light and observing R, G, and B diffracted light in the normal direction, a pattern having the following spatial frequency can be given to each area.
 Rエリア204R … 1140(line/mm)
 Gエリア204G … 1310(line/mm)
 Bエリア204B … 1540(line/mm)
R area 204R ... 1140 (line / mm)
G area 204G ... 1310 (line / mm)
B area 204B ... 1540 (line / mm)
 但し、OVD層204の表層パターンはこれらに限定されるものではない。回折格子は、凹部と凸部とが交互に並ぶ構成であり、回折格子において、1つの基準方向と凹部及び凸部が延びる方向とが形成する角度が格子角度である。例えば、OVD層204の表層パターンは、格子角度が互いに異なる回折格子を含む複数のエリアを含んでもよい。また例えば、OVD層204の表層パターンは、回折格子の空間周波数と格子角度との両方が互いに異なる複数のエリアを含んでもよい。これらの場合において、各エリアが微細凹凸構造部の一例である。 However, the surface layer pattern of the OVD layer 204 is not limited to these. The diffraction grating has a configuration in which concave portions and convex portions are alternately arranged. In the diffraction grating, an angle formed by one reference direction and a direction in which the concave portions and the convex portions extend is a grating angle. For example, the surface layer pattern of the OVD layer 204 may include a plurality of areas including diffraction gratings having different grating angles. For example, the surface layer pattern of the OVD layer 204 may include a plurality of areas in which both the spatial frequency and the grating angle of the diffraction grating are different from each other. In these cases, each area is an example of a fine concavo-convex structure portion.
 ホログラム画像形成用媒体200は、ホログラム画像に反射性を与え、ホログラム効果を増大させるために反射層205を備えている。反射層205としては、金属薄膜層の他に透明な薄膜層を用いることができる。透明な薄膜層は、OVD層204とは屈折率が異なる物質から形成されることが望ましく、透明な薄膜層の形成材料には、例えば硫化亜鉛、二酸化チタンなどの屈折率の高い材料を適宜選択することができる。 The hologram image forming medium 200 includes a reflective layer 205 in order to give reflectivity to the hologram image and increase the hologram effect. As the reflective layer 205, a transparent thin film layer can be used in addition to the metal thin film layer. The transparent thin film layer is preferably formed of a material having a refractive index different from that of the OVD layer 204, and a material having a high refractive index such as zinc sulfide or titanium dioxide is appropriately selected as a material for forming the transparent thin film layer. can do.
 接着層206は、加熱転写の相手すなわち転写先である被着面への接着剤の役割を有している。ホログラム画像形成用媒体200の転写に用いられる転写方式によっては、転写後においてホログラム画像形成用媒体200の剥離層203との密着性が必要となると同時に、反射層205との密着性も合わせて有する必要がある。 The adhesive layer 206 has a role of an adhesive to the adherend surface, which is a heat transfer partner, that is, a transfer destination. Depending on the transfer method used for transferring the hologram image forming medium 200, adhesion to the release layer 203 of the hologram image forming medium 200 is required after transfer, and at the same time, the adhesion to the reflective layer 205 is also provided. There is a need.
 このため、接着層206の形成材料には、例えばアクリル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、塩化ビニル-酢酸ビニル共重合体、及び、塩素化PPなどを所望の密着性や熱物性に合わせて単独ないし複数の混合物として適宜使用することができる。 For this reason, for example, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, urethane resin, polyester resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, and chlorinated PP are used as the material for forming the adhesive layer 206 in accordance with desired adhesion and thermophysical properties. It can be used as a single or plural mixture as appropriate.
 また、接着層206の箔キレ性や耐ブロッキング性能を向上させるため、任意の微粒子を接着層206の形成材料である上述した樹脂に添加することもできる。ここで、微粒子には、例えばスチレン系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、シリコーン系樹脂、テフロン(登録商標)系樹脂、尿素樹脂、及び、ホルムアルデヒド縮合物などからなる有機系粒子、ガラスビーズ、シリカ、アルミナ、炭酸カルシウム、及び、金属酸化物などからなる無機系微粒子、または、気泡や可視光の特定の波長に吸収を有するような色素顔料、あるいは、発光性微粒子207などを用いることができる。また、複数種類の微粒子を併用することも可能である。 Moreover, in order to improve the foil sharpness and anti-blocking performance of the adhesive layer 206, arbitrary fine particles can be added to the above-described resin that is the material for forming the adhesive layer 206. Here, the fine particles include, for example, organic particles composed of styrene resin, acrylic resin, silicone resin, Teflon (registered trademark) resin, urea resin, and formaldehyde condensate, glass beads, silica, alumina, Inorganic fine particles made of calcium carbonate, metal oxide, or the like, or a pigment pigment having absorption at a specific wavelength of bubbles or visible light, or luminescent fine particles 207 can be used. It is also possible to use a plurality of types of fine particles in combination.
 一般的には、微粒子を添加することにより接着層206の表面が凹凸を有することとなる。この凹凸により耐ブロッキング性能は向上するが、被着面への密着性は低下する懸念があるため、所望の性能に合わせて上述した樹脂及び微粒子を適宜選定して、材料設計を行うことが好ましい。 Generally, the surface of the adhesive layer 206 has irregularities by adding fine particles. Although the anti-blocking performance is improved by the unevenness, there is a concern that the adhesion to the adherend surface may be lowered. Therefore, it is preferable to design the material by appropriately selecting the resin and fine particles described above according to the desired performance. .
 ここで、発光性微粒子207の形成材料として、無機蛍光顔料、有機蛍光顔料、アップコンバージョン蛍光顔料、及び、燐光顔料などの公知の材料を挙げることができる。なお、発光性微粒子207は、赤外線の波長から紫外線の波長までの波長領域内に励起スペクトルのピークを有し、この励起スペクトルのピーク波長と異なる波長領域に発光における極大波長を有する光を発光する発光性微粒子であればよく、発光性微粒子207の形成材料は上述した材料に限定されるものではない。すなわち、発光性微粒子207の発光における極大波長は、励起スペクトルのピーク波長と互いに異なっていればよい。 Here, examples of the material for forming the luminescent fine particles 207 include known materials such as inorganic fluorescent pigments, organic fluorescent pigments, up-conversion fluorescent pigments, and phosphorescent pigments. The luminescent fine particles 207 have an excitation spectrum peak in the wavelength region from the wavelength of infrared light to the wavelength of ultraviolet light, and emit light having a maximum wavelength in light emission in a wavelength region different from the peak wavelength of the excitation spectrum. The light emitting fine particles may be used, and the material for forming the light emitting fine particles 207 is not limited to the materials described above. That is, the maximum wavelength in light emission of the luminescent fine particles 207 may be different from the peak wavelength of the excitation spectrum.
 発光性微粒子207を用いて、通常の使用下では不可視であり、すなわち、励起光が照射されていない状態では不可視であり、励起光を照射した際に確認が可能な発光画像を形成することで、ホログラム画像の視覚効果を損なうことなく、第二の真贋判定用画像をホログラム画像形成用媒体200に付与することができる。そのため、発光性微粒子207の励起スペクトルにおけるピーク波長の含まれる波長領域は、可視領域以外であることが望ましい。更には、最終的な画像表示媒体への耐光性負荷などを考慮すると、発光性微粒子207の励起スペクトルにおけるピーク波長は、赤外線の波長領域または近紫外線の波長領域に含まれることが望ましい。 By using the luminescent fine particles 207, it is invisible under normal use, that is, invisible in the state where no excitation light is irradiated, and forms a luminescent image that can be confirmed when irradiated with the excitation light. The second authenticity determination image can be applied to the hologram image forming medium 200 without impairing the visual effect of the hologram image. Therefore, it is desirable that the wavelength region including the peak wavelength in the excitation spectrum of the luminescent fine particles 207 is other than the visible region. Furthermore, considering the light resistance load on the final image display medium, the peak wavelength in the excitation spectrum of the luminescent fine particles 207 is preferably included in the infrared wavelength region or the near ultraviolet wavelength region.
 接着層206に添加する微粒子として発光性微粒子207を用いることで、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200により、被転写体に転写されたホログラム画像と同様の発光性微粒子207による画像を被転写体に形成することができる。これにより、ホログラム画像による通常照明下での真贋判定に加えて、紫外光や赤外光で被転写体を照明することで、発光性微粒子207による画像を観察できるため、ホログラム画像と発光性微粒子207による画像とにより、二重の真贋判定が可能となる。 By using the luminescent fine particles 207 as the fine particles to be added to the adhesive layer 206, the hologram image forming medium 200 forms an image with the luminescent fine particles 207 similar to the hologram image transferred to the transferred material on the transferred material. be able to. Thereby, in addition to the authenticity determination under normal illumination by the hologram image, the image by the luminescent fine particles 207 can be observed by illuminating the transferred material with ultraviolet light or infrared light. With the image by 207, double authentication can be made.
 発光性微粒子207は、部分的に濃度の高い部分と濃度の低い部分を有していてもよい。この濃度の高低により、微細な幾何学模様からなる彩文柄などの偽造防止柄を被転写体にさらに付与することができる。これにより、発光性微粒子207による画像の偽造防止性をさらに向上させることができる。 The luminescent fine particles 207 may partially have a high concentration portion and a low concentration portion. Due to the level of the concentration, a forgery prevention pattern such as a colored pattern made of a fine geometric pattern can be further imparted to the transfer target. Thereby, the forgery prevention property of the image by the luminescent fine particles 207 can be further improved.
 但し、発光性微粒子207として、発光における極大波長を赤外線の波長領域に有するような発光性微粒子207を用いた場合には、CCDなどの受光素子により発光した真贋判定用画像を容易に検知することはできるが、目視による判定は極めて困難となる。このため、故意に偽造を試みようとする者にとっては、真贋判定用画像の存在を認識することがより困難となり、真贋判定用画像を有する被転写体の偽造耐性も向上させることができる。 However, when the luminescent fine particles 207 having the maximum light emission wavelength in the infrared wavelength region are used as the luminescent fine particles 207, it is possible to easily detect an image for authenticity determination emitted by a light receiving element such as a CCD. However, visual judgment is extremely difficult. For this reason, it is more difficult for a person who intends to attempt forgery to recognize the existence of the image for authenticity determination, and the forgery resistance of the transferred object having the image for authenticity determination can be improved.
 なお、発光性微粒子207として、発光における極大波長を可視光の波長領域に有するような発光性微粒子を用いた場合には、紫外線または赤外光で照明することで、発光性微粒子207による画像を目視で観察できるため、簡便な方法により真贋判定用画像を検知することができる。 In addition, when the luminescent fine particles having a maximum wavelength in light emission in the visible light wavelength region are used as the luminescent fine particles 207, an image of the luminescent fine particles 207 is obtained by illuminating with ultraviolet light or infrared light. Since it can be observed visually, the image for authenticity determination can be detected by a simple method.
 発光における極大波長を赤外線の波長領域に有する発光性微粒子207と、発光における極大波長を可視光の波長領域に有する発光性微粒子207とをそれぞれ単独で用いることもできるし、発光における極大波長を赤外線の波長領域に有する発光性微粒子207と、発光における極大波長を可視光の波長領域に有する発光性微粒子207との両方を用いることもできる。このように、発光における極大波長が互いに異なる2種類以上の発光性微粒子207を用いた場合には、異なった波長での真贋判定が行えるため、真贋判定用画像による偽造防止効果をさらに高めることができる。 The luminescent fine particles 207 having the maximum wavelength for light emission in the infrared wavelength region and the luminescent fine particles 207 having the maximum wavelength for light emission in the wavelength region of visible light can be used alone, respectively, It is also possible to use both the luminescent fine particles 207 in the wavelength region and the luminescent fine particles 207 having the maximum wavelength in light emission in the visible light wavelength region. As described above, when two or more kinds of luminescent fine particles 207 having different maximum wavelengths in light emission are used, since it is possible to determine the authenticity at different wavelengths, the effect of preventing forgery by the image for determining the authenticity can be further enhanced. it can.
 その真贋判定を実施する際には、励起スペクトルを有する照射光としてLED、レーザー、及び、各種ランプなどの光源を用意するとともに、目視判定と機器判定を組み合わせることも可能であるが、発光光を検知する検出装置として、切り替え可能な光学フィルタを設けた受光素子などを用いることで、真贋判定が可能となる。すなわち、受光光の波長を赤外線の波長領域と可視光の波長領域との間で切り替えることが可能な光学フィルタを有した受光素子を備える検出装置を用いることで、赤外線の波長領域における真贋判定と、可視光の波長領域における真贋判定とを検出装置によって行うことができる。 When performing the authenticity determination, it is possible to prepare a light source such as an LED, a laser, and various lamps as irradiation light having an excitation spectrum, and to combine the visual determination with the apparatus determination. By using a light receiving element provided with a switchable optical filter or the like as a detection device to detect, authenticity determination can be performed. That is, by using a detection device including a light receiving element having an optical filter capable of switching the wavelength of received light between the infrared wavelength region and the visible wavelength region, authentication in the infrared wavelength region can be performed. The authenticity determination in the visible light wavelength region can be performed by the detection device.
 光学フィルタは、発光性微粒子207の発光する波長の光を透過し、外乱光と、必要に応じて励起用の照射光とを遮断するためのものである。光学フィルタには、任意の波長よりも長い波長の光を透過し、任意の波長よりも短い光を遮断するロングパスフィルタ、及び、バンドパスフィルタなどのフィルタを用いることができる。 The optical filter transmits light having a wavelength emitted by the luminescent fine particles 207, and blocks disturbance light and, if necessary, excitation light. As the optical filter, a filter such as a long-pass filter that transmits light having a wavelength longer than an arbitrary wavelength and blocks light having a wavelength shorter than the arbitrary wavelength, and a band-pass filter can be used.
 また、発光性微粒子207を接着層206に添加する構成の場合には、発光性微粒子207の平均粒径をr、接着層206の厚みをhとすると、h/5≦r≦5hであることが望ましく、h/3≦r≦3hであることがより望ましい。これはr<h/3では表面凹凸が非常に微小となり耐ブロッキング性能が低下し始め、r<h/5では耐ブロッキング性能及び箔キレ性が著しく損なわれるためである。また、r>3hでは耐ブロッキング性能及び箔キレ性は良好であるが、その表面凹凸の大きさから被着面への密着性が低下し始め、r>5hでは被着面への密着性及び転写性が著しく低下し、ホログラム画像形成が困難となるためである。 Further, in the case of the configuration in which the luminescent fine particles 207 are added to the adhesive layer 206, where the average particle diameter of the luminescent fine particles 207 is r and the thickness of the adhesive layer 206 is h, h / 5 ≦ r ≦ 5h. Is desirable, and h / 3 ≦ r ≦ 3h is more desirable. This is because when r <h / 3, the surface irregularities become very small and the anti-blocking performance starts to deteriorate, and when r <h / 5, the anti-blocking performance and foil sharpness are remarkably impaired. Further, when r> 3h, the anti-blocking performance and foil sharpness are good, but the adhesion to the adherend surface starts to decrease due to the size of the surface irregularities, and when r> 5h, the adherence to the adherend surface and This is because the transferability is remarkably deteriorated and it becomes difficult to form a hologram image.
 更に、接着層206の全体重量に対する発光性微粒子207の重量添加量における百分率をWbとすると2%≦Wb≦50%であることが好ましく、5%≦Wb≦30%であることがより好ましい。これは、Wb<5%の場合はブロッキング耐性が低下し始め、Wb<2%ではブロッキング耐性及び箔キレ性が著しく低下するためである。また、Wb>50%では被着面への密着性及び皮膜強度が著しく低下し、転写時に接着層206の内部で凝集破壊を引き起こすためである。 Furthermore, when the percentage of the weight addition amount of the luminescent fine particles 207 with respect to the total weight of the adhesive layer 206 is Wb, 2% ≦ Wb ≦ 50% is preferable, and 5% ≦ Wb ≦ 30% is more preferable. This is because the blocking resistance starts to decrease when Wb <5%, and the blocking resistance and foil sharpness significantly decrease when Wb <2%. Further, when Wb> 50%, the adhesion to the adherend surface and the film strength are remarkably lowered, causing cohesive failure inside the adhesive layer 206 during transfer.
 接着層206におけるブロッキング耐性及び箔キレ性などの各種特性の更なる向上のために、発光性微粒子207以外の微粒子のうち、1種あるいは2種以上の微粒子を適宜選択して発光性微粒子207と併用することができる。 In order to further improve various properties such as blocking resistance and foil sharpness in the adhesive layer 206, one or more kinds of fine particles other than the light-emitting fine particles 207 are appropriately selected to form the light-emitting fine particles 207. Can be used together.
 ホログラム画像形成用媒体200において、発光性微粒子207を接着層206に添加することで、箔キレ性、耐ブロッキング性、被着面への密着性などが良好な接着層206を形成することができる。かつ、発光性微粒子207が添加された接着層206を有するホログラム画像形成用媒体200によれば、通常の使用下では不可視であり、任意の励起光を照射した際に確認することが可能な発光画像を被転写体に付与することが可能となり、視覚効果の非常に高い個別認証媒体あるいは嗜好用媒体を形成することができる。 In the hologram image forming medium 200, by adding the light-emitting fine particles 207 to the adhesive layer 206, it is possible to form the adhesive layer 206 having favorable foil sharpness, blocking resistance, adhesion to the adherend surface, and the like. . Moreover, according to the hologram image forming medium 200 having the adhesive layer 206 to which the luminescent fine particles 207 are added, the light emission that is invisible under normal use and can be confirmed when irradiated with arbitrary excitation light. An image can be applied to a transfer medium, and an individual authentication medium or a preference medium with a very high visual effect can be formed.
 以上、発光性微粒子207を接着層206に添加する場合を例として説明したが、この発光性微粒子207は、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200が有するその他の層、例えば剥離層に添加してもよい。なお、発光性微粒子207をOVD層204に添加した場合には、この発光性微粒子207による表面凹凸によってホログラム画像を形成する構造パターンが損傷されることから、OVD層204を除くいずれかの層に添加する必要がある。 The case where the luminescent fine particles 207 are added to the adhesive layer 206 has been described above as an example. However, the luminescent fine particles 207 may be added to other layers of the hologram image forming medium 200, for example, a release layer. In addition, when the luminescent fine particles 207 are added to the OVD layer 204, the structure pattern forming the hologram image is damaged by the surface unevenness due to the luminescent fine particles 207. It is necessary to add.
 最終的な被転写体上にホログラム画像を形成する際には、画像形成性を考慮すると、被転写体上にホログラム画像形成用媒体200から直にホログラム画像を転写する手法に比べて、感熱転写時にホログラム画像形成用媒体200の挙動に追従するような中間箔を用いて被転写体上にホログラム画像を形成する手法がより好ましい。図3から図5は、中間箔を用いた場合のホログラム画像形成に関わる断面構造を示す図である。 When forming a hologram image on the final transfer target, in consideration of image formability, thermal transfer is performed compared to a method of transferring a hologram image directly from the hologram image forming medium 200 on the transfer target. A method of forming a hologram image on the transfer medium using an intermediate foil that sometimes follows the behavior of the hologram image forming medium 200 is more preferable. 3 to 5 are diagrams showing a cross-sectional structure related to hologram image formation when an intermediate foil is used.
 図3及び図4は、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200を被着面へ感熱転写する際の断面構造を示す図である。ホログラム画像形成用媒体200のバックコート層202に発熱源400を接触させ、ロール401を用いて圧着することにより、発熱源400を当てた近傍が受像層301に接着すると同時に剥離層203と基材201との界面にて剥離層203を剥離することで、受像層301上にホログラム画像を形成することが可能となる。 3 and 4 are diagrams showing a cross-sectional structure when the hologram image forming medium 200 is thermally transferred to the adherend surface. The heat source 400 is brought into contact with the back coat layer 202 of the hologram image forming medium 200 and is pressed using a roll 401, so that the vicinity where the heat source 400 is applied adheres to the image receiving layer 301 and at the same time the release layer 203 and the substrate By peeling off the peeling layer 203 at the interface with 201, a hologram image can be formed on the image receiving layer 301.
 すなわち、図3が示すように、受像層301と基材302とを備える中間箔300を準備する。ホログラム画像形成用媒体200の接着層206と、中間箔300の受像層301とが対向する状態で、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200のバックコート層202に発熱源400を接触させ、中間箔300の基材302に接触させたロール401によって、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200と中間箔300とを圧着する。これにより、接着層206のうち、ホログラム画像形成用媒体200の厚さ方向において、発熱源400と重なる部分が、受像層301に接着する。 That is, as shown in FIG. 3, an intermediate foil 300 including an image receiving layer 301 and a substrate 302 is prepared. With the adhesive layer 206 of the hologram image forming medium 200 and the image receiving layer 301 of the intermediate foil 300 facing each other, the heat source 400 is brought into contact with the back coat layer 202 of the hologram image forming medium 200 to thereby form a base of the intermediate foil 300. The hologram image forming medium 200 and the intermediate foil 300 are pressure-bonded by a roll 401 brought into contact with the material 302. As a result, a portion of the adhesive layer 206 that overlaps the heat generation source 400 in the thickness direction of the hologram image forming medium 200 adheres to the image receiving layer 301.
 図4が示すように、剥離層203と基材201との界面において剥離層203を剥離することによって、受像層301上にホログラム画像を含むホログラム印画層208を形成することができる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the hologram print layer 208 including the hologram image can be formed on the image receiving layer 301 by peeling the release layer 203 at the interface between the release layer 203 and the substrate 201.
 図5は、被転写体500上にホログラム画像を形成した例における断面構造を示す図である。図3及び図4が示すように、受像層301にホログラム画像を形成した後、言い換えれば、ホログラム印画層208を形成した後、中間箔300を被転写体500に熱圧着することにより、最終的な画像表示媒体を得ることができる。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional structure in an example in which a hologram image is formed on the transfer object 500. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, after forming the hologram image on the image receiving layer 301, in other words, after forming the hologram printing layer 208, the intermediate foil 300 is finally heat-pressed to the transfer object 500, thereby finally An image display medium can be obtained.
 ここで、図5(A)は、中間箔300にホログラム画像を形成した後、中間箔300の基材302ごと被転写体500に熱圧着して画像表示媒体を形成している構成を示している。これに対して、図5(B)は、中間箔300にホログラム画像を形成した後、被転写体500に熱圧着し、その後に、中間箔300の基材302を剥離した構成を示している。 Here, FIG. 5A shows a configuration in which after forming a hologram image on the intermediate foil 300, the substrate 302 of the intermediate foil 300 is thermocompression bonded to the transfer object 500 to form an image display medium. Yes. On the other hand, FIG. 5B shows a configuration in which a hologram image is formed on the intermediate foil 300, then thermally bonded to the transfer target 500, and then the substrate 302 of the intermediate foil 300 is peeled off. .
 中間箔300は、基材302に少なくとも2種以上の異なる材質の樹脂層からなる受像層301が形成された構成である。すなわち、受像層301は、2種類以上の樹脂を混合した混合物から形成されている。受像層301の形成材料には、アクリル樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、及び、エポキシ樹脂などの公知の熱可塑性樹脂を適宜組み合わせて使用することができる。 The intermediate foil 300 has a structure in which an image receiving layer 301 made of resin layers of at least two or more different materials is formed on a base material 302. That is, the image receiving layer 301 is formed from a mixture in which two or more kinds of resins are mixed. As a material for forming the image receiving layer 301, a known thermoplastic resin such as an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, and an epoxy resin can be used in appropriate combination.
 被転写体500は基材を含み、基材の形成材料は、紙、樹脂、及び、合成紙などから、画像表示媒体の使用する形態に応じて適宜選択することが可能である。また、被転写体500の基材における表面には、基材に付与したい物性に合わせて、ホログラム画像を貼着する前に、所定の表面処理を施すことが可能である。具体的には、表面処理には、転写画像との密着性を向上させるためのアンカー層を形成する処理などが挙げられる。 The transferred object 500 includes a base material, and the material for forming the base material can be appropriately selected from paper, resin, synthetic paper, and the like according to the form used by the image display medium. Further, a predetermined surface treatment can be applied to the surface of the base material of the transfer object 500 before applying the hologram image in accordance with the physical properties desired to be imparted to the base material. Specifically, the surface treatment includes, for example, a treatment for forming an anchor layer for improving adhesion with a transfer image.
 ここで、帯電防止機能を有する層、剥離性保護層、発光性微粒子207の励起波長並びに発光における極大波長を含まない領域の波長を吸収する層など層であって、印画物を保護する機能を有する層を中間箔300に付与してもよい。 Here, it is a layer having an antistatic function, a peelable protective layer, a layer that absorbs a wavelength in a region not including the excitation wavelength of the luminescent fine particles 207 and the maximum wavelength in light emission, and has a function of protecting a printed matter. You may provide the intermediate foil 300 with the layer which has.
 図6は、画像表示媒体602の一例における平面構造を示す図である。
 図6が示すように、画像表示媒体602を個別認証用媒体として使用する際には、被転写体500において、写真画像表示部601の近傍のホログラム画像印字部600にホログラム画像を含むホログラム印画層208を形成することにより、視認可能な認証用の画像表示媒体602を形成することができる。
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a planar structure in an example of the image display medium 602.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the image display medium 602 is used as the individual authentication medium, the hologram print layer including the hologram image in the hologram image printing unit 600 in the vicinity of the photographic image display unit 601 in the transferred object 500. By forming 208, a visible image display medium 602 for authentication can be formed.
 以上のようにして得られた画像表示媒体602において、写真画像表示部601とその近傍に設置されたホログラム画像印字部600の画像を目視によって比較観察することにより、写真画像が改竄されたものであるかどうか容易に判別することができる。この場合には、例えば、写真画像とホログラム画像とが互いに同じ画像であることが好ましい。 In the image display medium 602 obtained as described above, the photographic image is falsified by visually observing the images of the photographic image display unit 601 and the hologram image printing unit 600 installed in the vicinity thereof. It can be easily determined whether or not there is. In this case, for example, the photographic image and the hologram image are preferably the same image.
 また、ホログラム印画層208が含む発光性微粒子207に対し、励起スペクトルのピーク波長を有するLEDや紫外線ランプなどを用いて励起光を照射し、ホログラム画像印字部600のホログラム印画層208が発光することを確認することで、画像表示媒体602の真贋を判定することができる。すなわち、画像表示媒体602は、接着層206が含む発光性微粒子207によって、更なる偽造防止効果を発揮することができる。 Further, the light emitting fine particles 207 included in the hologram print layer 208 are irradiated with excitation light using an LED or an ultraviolet lamp having a peak wavelength of the excitation spectrum, and the hologram print layer 208 of the hologram image printing unit 600 emits light. By confirming the above, the authenticity of the image display medium 602 can be determined. That is, the image display medium 602 can exhibit a further anti-counterfeit effect by the luminescent fine particles 207 included in the adhesive layer 206.
 画像表示媒体602は、画像表示媒体602を所有する所有者を認証するための認証用画像であって、発光性微粒子207が形成する認証用画像を含んでもよい。この場合には、発光性微粒子207の形成する認証用画像は、所有者の顔画像、所有者の指紋を表示する画像、及び、所有者の氏名などを表示する画像などであればよい。すなわち、認証用画像は、画像表示媒体602の所有者に属する情報を含む画像であればよい。発光性微粒子207は、発光における極大波長が赤外線の波長領域に含まれる発光性微粒子であることが好ましい。 The image display medium 602 is an authentication image for authenticating the owner who owns the image display medium 602, and may include an authentication image formed by the luminescent fine particles 207. In this case, the authentication image formed by the luminescent particles 207 may be an image of the owner's face, an image displaying the owner's fingerprint, and an image displaying the name of the owner. That is, the authentication image may be an image including information belonging to the owner of the image display medium 602. The luminescent fine particles 207 are preferably luminescent fine particles in which the maximum wavelength in light emission is included in the infrared wavelength region.
 ホログラム画像印字部600には、上述したように、ホログラム印画層208が形成され、ホログラム印画層208は、OVD層204を含んでいる。OVD層204が含む回折格子は、回折格子における空間周波数によって、回折格子の射出する回折光の波長が可視領域に含まれるように構成されていることが好ましい。例えば、回折格子は、上述したRエリア204R、Gエリア204G、及び、Bエリア204Bが含む回折格子であればよい。 As described above, the hologram printing layer 208 is formed on the hologram image printing unit 600, and the hologram printing layer 208 includes the OVD layer 204. The diffraction grating included in the OVD layer 204 is preferably configured so that the wavelength of the diffracted light emitted from the diffraction grating is included in the visible region depending on the spatial frequency in the diffraction grating. For example, the diffraction grating may be a diffraction grating included in the above-described R area 204R, G area 204G, and B area 204B.
 こうした構成によれば、例えば、赤外線の波長領域に含まれる光を検出するCCDを用いて画像表示媒体602から出る光を検知したときに、CCDは、発光性微粒子207の発光する光を検知する一方で、回折格子が射出する回折光を検知しない。 According to such a configuration, for example, when detecting light emitted from the image display medium 602 using a CCD that detects light included in the infrared wavelength region, the CCD detects light emitted from the luminescent fine particles 207. On the other hand, the diffracted light emitted from the diffraction grating is not detected.
 そのため、CCDが発光性微粒子207の形成する認証用画像を検知することが、回折格子の射出する回折光によって妨げられることが抑えられる。それゆえに、画像表示媒体602によれば、ホログラム画像印字部600に形成された認証用画像の読み取りと、認証用画像を用いた所有者の認証とが、回折光によって形成される像によって妨げられることを抑えつつ、ホログラム画像と発光性微粒子207による画像とを表示することができる。 Therefore, the detection of the authentication image formed by the light emitting fine particles 207 by the CCD is prevented from being hindered by the diffracted light emitted from the diffraction grating. Therefore, according to the image display medium 602, reading of the authentication image formed on the hologram image printing unit 600 and authentication of the owner using the authentication image are hindered by the image formed by the diffracted light. While suppressing this, it is possible to display a hologram image and an image of the luminescent fine particles 207.
 また、画像表示媒体602上に所定の層を印刷あるいは貼合にて形成させる場合には、その最表面上にアンカー層を形成する処理やコロナ処理のような表面処理を施してもよい。 Further, when a predetermined layer is formed on the image display medium 602 by printing or bonding, a surface treatment such as a treatment for forming an anchor layer on the outermost surface or a corona treatment may be performed.
