BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a virtual image displaying decorative body that uses virtual illusion to display a virtual image above or below a transparent substrate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present invention has developed a "dotted pattern ornament using the moire phenomenon" disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-35083. We are developing the "Virtual image display decoration" published in the Kai 2001-55000 publication.

The ornamental body of the dot drawing pattern utilizing the moire phenomenon disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-35083 has a hemispherical or arc-shaped plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element on the surface of a transparent substrate at a fine pitch. With a regular array, and on the back surface of the transparent substrate, a large number of pixels with the same shape as the plano-convex lens-like condensing element or the same shape with different shapes and the same arrangement as the plano-convex lens-like condensing element on the front surface By shifting the crossing angle, or by printing colored pixels in the same shape and in the same arrangement as the plano-convex lens-like condensing element or in a different shape and the same arrangement on the substrate separate from the transparent substrate. By shifting the crossing angle with each other, the pixel appears as an enlarged image having a three-dimensional effect when viewed from the surface, and when the viewpoint is moved, the enlarged image exhibits a feeling of fluctuation due to the moire phenomenon (hereinafter,
"First conventional product").

The virtual image displaying decorative body disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-55000 is a plano-convex lens-shaped body formed by arranging a number of plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements having the same shape and the same size vertically and horizontally. A light condensing element layer, a transparent substrate layer laminated under the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer, and a large number of pixels of the same shape and the same size laminated under the transparent substrate layer are formed by vertically and horizontally aligned. Each of the plano-convex lens-like condensing elements and each of the pixels are completely overlapped at the top and bottom, and another pixel equidistant from the overlapped pixel is Of the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element corresponding to the pixel of (1), the pixel is radially offset from the overlapped pixel toward the outside or the inside with the same width, and the pixel outside the center pixel is displaced from the pixel. The plano-convex to increase the width A lens-shaped light condensing element layer and the pixel layer are arranged, and a magnified virtual image having the same shape as the pixel is placed above or below the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer with the overlapped pixel as a center. (Hereinafter referred to as "second conventional product").

Another virtual image displaying decorative body disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-55000 is a plano-convex lens-shaped collection formed by arranging a number of plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements having the same shape and the same size vertically and horizontally. A transparent substrate layer laminated below the photo-element layer and the plano-convex lens-like light-collecting element layer, and pixels of the same shape and the same size, which are laminated below the transparent substrate layer, have the same inclination angle in the column of the pixels. And a pixel layer formed by arranging in a number of rows and columns so as to be tilted side by side in the same direction in an accumulating tilt pattern, each plano-convex lens-like condensing element and each pixel being at least one set. Another pixel which is completely overlapped at the top and bottom and is located at a position corresponding to another equidistant plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element centered on the overlapping plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element is The overlap with the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element The plano-convex lens is laterally displaced in a point-symmetrical position with respect to the convex lens-shaped condensing element and radially displaced outward or inward, and has a larger deviation from the overlapped pixel in other pixels outside. A light condensing element layer and the pixel layer are arranged, and a virtual image of a deformed and enlarged pixel appears above or below the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer with the overlapping pixel as a center. (Hereinafter referred to as "third conventional product").

The pixel layers of the second conventional product and the third conventional product are formed by outputting image data edited by a personal computer using an editing application to a transparent film or the like, As shown in FIG. 47, the pixel layer of the third conventional product has a grid formed by a gauze line forming a gauze body having a line count close to or the same as that of the gauze body having the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer formed thereon. A pixel arrangement in which the pixels 100 are arranged vertically and horizontally at the same pitch as the unit pitch (pixel arrangement shown by a chain line in FIG. 47).
In the state where the one pixel row 101 is left,
One pixel row 1 in the pixel arrangement in a tilt pattern in which the same tilt angle θ is accumulated in order from the pixel column 102 adjacent to 1
So that the pixels 100 arranged on the upper surface of the first pixel row 101 are arranged side by side in the same direction and are inclined, that is, the inclination angle θ _{1 of the first} pixel row 102 adjacent to the first pixel row 101 is θ. The tilt angle θ _{2 of the second} pixel row 102 is 2θ, and thereafter, the tilt angle θ _{n of the nth} pixel row 102 is similarly tilted to be nθ, and the pixel rows 102 are arranged in a substantially fan shape. The image data in the processed state is output to a transparent film or the like.

[0007]

In the second conventional product and the third conventional product, a virtual image of an enlarged pixel found by chance in a large number of sample decorative bodies appears to float in front of (above) the transparent substrate. It was completed based on the empirical law that was learned as a result of investigating the difference between the ornamental body and the ornamental body that appears to sink in the back (downward) of the transparent substrate and the first conventional product. (3) An accurate optical theory has not yet been clarified for the phenomenon in which a virtual image appears above or below the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer in the conventional product.

Therefore, it is impossible to predict a virtual image appearing from a virtual image appearing ornamental body that is out of the empirical law, and a virtual image appearing from a virtual image appearing ornamental body that is out of the empirical law cannot be predicted. The only way to confirm was to actually create such a virtual image display decorative body.

Comparing the second conventional product and the third conventional product,
The pixel arrangement of the pixel layer in the third conventional product is the same as the pixel arrangement of the pixel layer in the second conventional product, which is subjected to the edit process with regularity in units of pixel rows or pixel columns. Also, since the virtual image appearing in the second conventional product and the virtual image appearing in the third conventional product are different in shape and the like, some causal relationship between the pixel arrangement of the pixel layer and the virtual image that appears. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have performed one editing process in units of pixel rows or pixel columns that are arranged in a pixel arrangement aligned vertically and horizontally when forming the pixel layer in the third conventional product. By changing to the pixel-based editing process, a pixel layer with a new pixel arrangement can be formed, and along with this, it is possible to obtain a virtual image displaying decorative body that presents a new virtual image that has never existed before. I came to judge that there is a nature.

Therefore, in order to develop a new virtual image displaying decorative body, the inventors of the present invention perform edit processing by giving various regularity to one pixel as a unit in a pixel arrangement in which a large number of pixels are aligned vertically and horizontally. Each image data is output to each transparent film and various pixel layers are actually created, and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layers formed by arranging them in many rows and columns under various conditions are laminated. Create various types of transparent substrate layers and test each pixel layer and each transparent substrate layer on top of each other to confirm a virtual image that appears and shift the superimposed pixel layer and transparent substrate layer When a test to confirm the virtual image is repeated many times, a transparent substrate layer is formed by forming a pixel layer composed of image data that has been edited with certain specific regularity under certain specific conditions. Appearance of virtual image formed when superposed Virtual image emerges from Kazaritai was noticed incidentally that deform when moving the position visually.

Further, as a result of detailed investigation of the positional relationship between each pixel of the pixel layer and each plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element of the transparent substrate, the present inventors have found that the plano-convex lens shape having the same shape and the same size. A transparent substrate layer in which a plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer formed by arranging a large number of light condensing elements vertically and horizontally is stacked, and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer is formed by using an editing processing application in a personal computer. A large number of pixels are aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions at the same pitch as the pitch of the squares formed by the meshes forming the silk body having the number of lines close to that of the formed mesh, and the pixels are arranged on each pixel row. Pixels arranged in a row or pixels arranged in each pixel column, and the shape of each pixel arranged in the row is the other pixel positioned on a reference line orthogonal to the arrangement of the one pixel. Are arranged in Each pixel or each pixel arranged in a row of the other pixel located near the reference line is used as a basic pixel so that the basic pixel is gradually deformed in shape with increasing distance from the basic pixel, that is, In the arrangement of one pixel, the shape of the first pixel, which is the pixel next to the basic pixel, becomes a modified shape with almost the shape of the basic pixel remaining, and the shape of the second pixel becomes the shape of the first pixel. It becomes a deformed shape with almost all the shape left, and in the same manner, the shape of each pixel arranged in the row of one of the pixels remains almost the shape of the pixel arranged next to the basic pixel side of each pixel. It becomes a deformed shape in the state,
And a pixel layer formed such that the shape of the pixel farthest from the basic pixel is different from the shape of the basic pixel, wherein each plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element and each pixel are at least one set Are vertically overlapped with each other, and a pair of other pixel rows that are equidistant from the pixel row including the overlapped pixel are overlapped with the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row corresponding to the other pixel row. A pixel row that shifts toward the outside or the inside with a pixel column including pixels as a central axis, and has a larger deviation width than a pixel column including the overlapping pixels, and a pixel row including the overlapping pixels. A pair of other pixel rows that are equidistant from the other pixel rows shift toward the outside or inside with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row corresponding to the other pixel row with the pixel row including the overlapping pixels as the central axis. Together with the overlap In the virtual image displaying decorative body stacked so that the pixel row including the pixel is displaced more outwardly than the pixel row, a virtual image is formed above or below the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element with the overlapping pixel as the center. The present invention was obtained by obtaining conspicuous knowledge that the shape of the virtual image gradually deforms in accordance with the shape of each of the pixels arranged in the one of the pixels when the position where the virtual image is viewed is moved while appearing. Is completed.

The virtual image displaying decorative body 1 according to the present embodiment is
As shown in Fig. 1, the same shape that plays the role of a convex lens
From a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 formed by arranging a large number of plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements 2 vertically and horizontally, and a transparent substrate 4 laminated under the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3. 2 and a pixel layer 8 formed by arranging a large number of pixels 7 on a transparent film 6 vertically and horizontally.

As shown in FIG. 3, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and the pixel 7 have a set of the reference condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 that are most vertically overlapped with each other, and are equidistant from the reference pixel row 11 including the reference pixel 10. The other set of pixel columns 12, 12 in FIG.
With respect to the plano-convex lens-like condensing element arrays 13 and 13 corresponding to, the reference pixel array 11 is displaced outward as a central axis, and the width of the pixel arrays 12 and 12 outside the reference pixel array 11 is large. And a set of other pixel rows 15, 1 equidistant from the reference pixel row 14 containing the reference pixel 10.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a shift width that is the same as the shift width in the pixel columns 12 and 12 toward the outside with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped light collecting element rows 16 and 16 corresponding to the other pixel rows 15 and 15 with the reference pixel row 14 as the central axis. And the pixel rows 15 and 15 outside the reference pixel row 14 are arranged such that the width of deviation is larger.

In this embodiment, the transparent film 6 and the pixels 7 formed on the transparent film 6 are collectively referred to as a pixel layer 8.

As shown in FIG. 3, the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 is formed with a transparent ink having a good build-up property to form a gauze line A on the surface of the transparent substrate 4 by screen printing (see FIG. 3 is indicated by a one-dot chain line), and one plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 is printed in one cell in a unit of the cell to easily form it.

When the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer 3 is formed by screen printing, a gauze body satisfying 10 ≦ line number ≦ 70 may be used, and if the line number of the gauze body is less than 10 or exceeds 70, , It is difficult to form a plano-convex lens.

The transparent substrate 4 may be made of synthetic resin and may be hard or soft. If it is hard, the thickness is from 1 mm to 5 mm, and if it is soft, the thickness is from 0.5 mm to
A 2 mm one is suitable for handling and has wide applicability as a commercial value and is practical. Also, if it has transparency,
It may be colored. Specifically, a transparent synthetic resin plate or transparent film made of polycarbonate, polyester, acrylic, polyvinyl chloride or the like may be used. If the transparent substrate 4 is thicker than 5.0 mm, the image that appears appears to be blurred and the color tends to be lighter. The transparent substrate 4 is not limited to the synthetic resin, and may be a glass plate.

As shown in FIG. 4, the pixel layer 8 is formed by using a personal computer using an editing processing application to form a mesh body having a number of lines less than that of the mesh body on which the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed. A large number of pixels 7 are aligned vertically and horizontally at the same pitch as the pitch of the squares formed by the mesh lines formed, and each row of the pixels 7 (one row of pixels) arranged on each pixel row 15 is arranged. The shape of the pixel 7 is a circle of the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on the pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17 orthogonal to the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15 (the arrangement of the other pixel). Each pixel 7 having a shape is set as a basic pixel 18 so that the shape of the basic pixel 18 is gradually deformed as it is separated from the basic pixel 18, that is, in the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15. Basic pixel 1 The shape of the first pixel 7, which is the pixel next to the pixel, becomes a modified shape with almost the shape of the basic pixel 18 remaining, and the shape of the second pixel 7 is the basic pixel 18 of the second pixel 7. The shape of the first pixel 7 arranged next to the side is a deformed shape with most of the shape left, and the shape of each pixel 7 in the array of pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15 will be described below. Is the basic pixel 18 of each pixel 7.
The pixel 7 arranged next to the side has a deformed shape with most of the shape left, and the shape of the pixel 7a farthest from the basic pixel 18 is a star shape that is different from the basic pixel 18. After obtaining the edited image data, transfer the image data to the personal computer using the output processing application, and perform the arithmetic processing using the arithmetic processing application that converts the transferred image data into image data. The image is transferred to an image setter, and each pixel 7 is formed on the transparent film 6 by an automatic developing machine.

The pixel farthest from the basic pixel is
A pixel of a specific shape when each pixel in the array of pixels (an array of one pixel) arranged on each pixel row gradually deforms as it moves away from the basic pixel and reaches a specific shape. Say. Therefore, after each pixel in the row of pixels (one row of pixels) arranged on each pixel row is gradually deformed to a specific shape as it is separated from the basic pixel, the pixel of the specific shape is changed. When the new basic pixel is similarly transformed into a new specific shape as a new basic pixel, the pixel farthest from the new basic pixel becomes the pixel of the new specific shape.

Further, the pitch of a square means a distance from an arbitrary position in the square formed by the one-dot chain line shown in FIG. 3 to the same position as the arbitrary position of the square adjacent to the square in the vertical and horizontal directions.

The virtual image displaying decorative body 1 according to the present embodiment is
As shown in FIG. 5A, when the position to be viewed in the state of being viewed from the X direction (see FIG. 2) is fixed directly above the reference pixel 10 and viewed with each eye, it is shown in FIG. like,
A set of other pixel rows 12 and 12 equidistant from the reference pixel row 11 parallel to the X direction are the other pixel rows 12 and 12, respectively.
With respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 13 and 13 which are offset outward with the reference pixel row 11 as the central axis, and other pixel rows 12 and 1 outside the reference pixel row 11.
Since the width of deviation is larger by about 2, the image 20 (see (a) in FIG. 6) seen when viewed with the left eye 19 is leftward when seen with the right eye 21 (see (b) in FIG. 6).
Image 2 that was seen when viewed with the right eye 21
2 (see FIG. 7A) is displaced to the right (see FIG. 7B) when viewed with the left eye 19. That is, the image 2 that is visible when the virtual image displaying decorative body 1 is viewed only by the left eye 19
Comparing the positional relationship between 0 and the image 22 that is visible when viewed with only the right eye 21, as shown in FIG. 5A, the images 20 and 22 appear with their eyes intersecting each other.
Due to the displacement of the images 20 and 22, the virtual image 23 appears to be floating in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center, in a state where the pixel 7 is vertically inverted.

It is to be noted that the virtual image 23 appears in a state in which the pixel 7 and the pixel 7 are reversed upside down, as shown in FIG. 2, because the shape of the pixel 7 is vertically asymmetrical, and is lower than the reference pixel row 14. The plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 located at is overlapped with the upper portion of the pixel 7 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2, and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 positioned above the reference pixel row 14 is Since the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 overlaps the lower part of the pixel 7 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned below the reference pixel row 14 exposes the upper part of the pixel 7. This is because the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located above the reference pixel row 14 plays a role of exposing the lower part of the pixel 7.

Further, with the direction in which the virtual image displaying decorative body 1 is viewed being held in the X direction (see FIG. 2), the position where the virtual image 23 is viewed is aligned with the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15 ( When it is moved substantially parallel to one pixel arrangement), that is, when it is moved substantially perpendicular to the viewing direction (X direction) (see (b) of FIG. 5), Since each pixel 7 in the array of pixels 7 arranged on the pixel row 15 has a shape in which the shape of the basic pixel 18 is gradually deformed as the distance from the basic pixel 18 increases, the position where the virtual image 23 is viewed is set in the Y direction. (See FIG. 2), the virtual image 23
As shown in (a) of FIG. 8, while gradually moving in the direction opposite to the Y direction (the arrow direction in (a) of FIG. 8), the shape of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction is gradually adjusted. It looks like a star-shaped deformation, and the position where the virtual image 23 is viewed is Y
When moved in the opposite direction (see FIG. 2), the virtual image 23
However, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8, while gradually moving in the Y direction (the arrow direction in (b) of FIG. 8), it is gradually circular according to the shape of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction. It seems to transform into.

The virtual image 23 slightly moves when the position to be viewed is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-like condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8. Also, a set of other pixel columns 1 equidistant from the reference pixel column 11
2 and 12 are displaced outward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element arrays 13 and 13 corresponding to the other pixel arrays 12 and 12 with the reference pixel array 11 as a central axis, and the reference pixel array 11 This is because the other pixel columns 12 on the outer side have a larger offset width.

Next, when the viewing direction of the virtual image displaying decorative body 1 is changed and the viewing position is viewed from the Y direction (see FIG. 2) from directly above the reference pixel 10, As shown in FIG. 2, when viewed from the X direction, the pixel row 12 becomes a pixel row, the pixel row 15 becomes a pixel row, the reference pixel row 11 becomes a reference pixel row, and the reference pixel row 14 becomes a reference pixel row. The convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 13 becomes a plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row, and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16 becomes a plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row. The plano-convex lens-like condensing element row and the pixel row that was the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row were Convex lens-shaped condensing element column 13 and pixel row 1 And the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16 have the same positional relationship as each other. Therefore, as shown in FIG. It appears to float in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3.

Further, with the direction in which the virtual image 24 is viewed being held in the Y direction (see FIG. 2), the position at which the virtual image 24 is viewed is determined by the pixel 7 arranged on each pixel column, which is the pixel row 15. When it is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement (the arrangement of one pixel), that is, when it is moved substantially parallel to the viewing direction (Y direction), it is arranged on each pixel column. Since the shape of each basic pixel 18 is gradually deformed as each pixel 7 in the row of the pixels is separated from the basic pixel 18, the position where the virtual image 24 is viewed is moved in the Y direction (see FIG. 2). Then, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9, the virtual image 24 of each pixel 7 positioned in the direction slightly moved in the direction opposite to the Y direction (the arrow direction in (a) of FIG. 9) is moved. It seems to gradually transform into a star shape according to the shape, and the virtual image 24 When the position of visual moving in the Y direction and the opposite direction (see FIG. 2), the virtual image 24 is, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9, in slightly Y-direction (in FIG. 9 (b),
While moving in the direction of the arrow), it appears to be gradually transformed into a circle according to the shape of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction.

The virtual image 24 slightly moves when the position to be viewed is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-like condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8. Further, the pixel row that is the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row that is the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row 16 and the pixel row that is the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row 13 This is because the convex lens-shaped light condensing element row has the same positional relationship as the pixel row 12, the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 13, and the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16 when viewed from the X direction. is there.

Since the shapes of the virtual images 23 and 24 are determined by the shape of each pixel 7 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the basic pixel 18 side of the virtual images 23 and 24 is located on the reference pixel 1 side.
The shape becomes closer to a circle than the shape of 0, and the virtual images 23, 24
The farthest pixel 7a side has a shape closer to a star than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

Since the pixel row 12 gradually shifts with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 13, and the pixel row 15 gradually shifts with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16, The pixel 7 and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 again overlap at regular intervals from the group consisting of the photo-element 9 and the reference pixel 10, and the overlapped pixel 7 (reference pixel 10) and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 are overlapped. (Reference light condensing element 9) is formed.

Therefore, when a plurality of reference pixels 10 are formed in the virtual image displaying decorative body 1, the respective reference pixels 1 are formed.
A plurality of virtual images 23 and 24 appear around 0, and
The virtual images 23 and 24 appearing around the reference pixel 10 formed at a position distant from the reference line 17 appear as a modified shape of the basic pixel 18.

The shape of the pixel 7 is not limited to the cross shape, and any shape such as a quadrangle, a star shape, a heart shape, a character shape, and a shadow-like shape can be adopted.

Further, the pixel layer 8 may be a film in which pixels are formed by photolithography, and can also be formed by screen printing, offset printing and letterpress printing. The pixels 7 can also be formed by a color printer.

Embodiment 2.

This embodiment is a modification of the pixel layer of the first embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a view showing a modification of the pixel layer according to the present embodiment, which is shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is a plan view showing a pixel arrangement of a pixel layer, in which pixel rows and pixel columns are shown by solid lines and reference lines are shown by alternate long and short dash lines, and FIG. 10B corresponds to FIG. FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a virtual image that appears in a virtual image displaying decorative body in which the pixel layers shown in FIG.
(C) is a plan view showing a virtual image in a virtual image displaying decorative body in which a plurality of virtual images appear. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another modification of the pixel layer according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 11A is a plan view showing the pixel arrangement of the pixel layer. The columns are indicated by solid lines and the reference lines are indicated by alternate long and short dash lines. FIG. 11B is a plan view showing a virtual image appearing on a virtual image displaying decorative body in which the pixel layers shown in FIG. 11A are stacked. Is. In these figures, the same symbols as those in FIGS. 1 to 9 indicate the same or corresponding portions.

Modification Example 1 As shown in FIG. 10A, the pixel layer 8 according to this modification has a pixel 25 in the same manner as in the first embodiment using an editing application by a personal computer. A large number of pixels 25 are arranged vertically and horizontally, and the shape of each pixel 25 in the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on each pixel row 15 (the arrangement of one pixel) is orthogonal to the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on each pixel row 15. Each diamond-shaped pixel 7 of the array of pixels 25 (an array of the other pixels) arranged on the pixel row 12 located on the reference line 17 is defined as a basic pixel 18, and the basic pixel 18 is separated from the basic pixel 18 Of the basic pixel 18
The pixel 25a farthest from the pixel 25a is edited so that the pixel 25a has a circular shape, and the size of each pixel 25 in the row of pixels 25 (row of one pixel) arranged on each pixel row 15 is The arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on the pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17 is set as the arrangement of the one pixel 25, and the arrangement of the one pixel 25 is left further away from the arrangement of the one pixel 25. Pixel 25 that is arranged in a row of other pixels
After obtaining the image data that has been subjected to the edit processing so as to become smaller, each pixel 25 is output and formed on the transparent film 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

In this modification, one pixel 25
Although the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on the pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17 is selected as the arrangement of, the arrangement is not limited to the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on the pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17, and is arbitrary. It is possible to select the arrangement of pixels as the arrangement of one pixel.

When the virtual image displaying decorative body in which the pixel layers 8 according to the present modification are laminated is visually observed in the same manner as in the first embodiment,
As shown in FIG. 10B, the virtual image 27 has the reference pixel 10
It appears to float in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer with the center as Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the position to be viewed while maintaining the viewing direction is moved substantially parallel to the array of pixels 25 arranged on each pixel row 15 (an array of one pixel). Then, the virtual image 27 is gradually deformed into a rhombus or a small-diameter circle in accordance with the shape of each pixel 25 located in a direction in which the virtual image 27 moves while moving slightly in the direction opposite to the direction in which the position to be viewed is moved.

Since the shape of the virtual image 27 is determined by the shape of each pixel 25 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the shape of the virtual image 27 on the basic pixel 18 side is closer to the diamond shape than the shape of the reference pixel 10. The shape of the virtual image 27 on the side of the pixel 25a farthest away is closer to a circle than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

When a large number of reference pixels 10 are formed when the pixel layer 8 according to this modification is laminated on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer, the size of each pixel 25 is on the reference line 17. The pixel 25 arranged on the positioned pixel row 12 is set as one pixel 25 and the other pixel further away from the one pixel 25 in the state where the one pixel 25 is left. Since the pixels 25 are arranged in smaller rows, the reference pixels 10 formed at positions apart from the arrangement (reference line 17) of the one pixel are centered as shown in (c) of FIG. The virtual image 27 that appears is smaller. At this time, the shape of each virtual image 27 is similar to the shape of the reference pixel 10 located at the center of each virtual image 27, and the shape of each virtual image 27 on the side of the basic pixel 26 is a rhombus than the shape of the reference pixel 10. And the shape of each virtual image 27 on the farthest pixel 25a side is closer to a circle than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

Modification 2: As shown in FIG. 11A, the pixel layer 8 according to this modification has the pixel 28 in the same manner as in Embodiment 1 using an editing application by a personal computer. The shape of each pixel 28 in the arrangement of the pixels 28 (arrangement of one pixel) arranged on each pixel row 15 is such that the plurality of pixels 28 are arranged vertically and horizontally.
Each diamond-shaped pixel 28 in the row of pixels 28 (row of the other pixel) arranged on the pixel row 12 positioned on the reference line 17 orthogonal to the row of pixels 28 arranged above is set as a basic pixel 29. The basic pixel 29 is gradually deformed as it moves away from the basic pixel 29, and the pixel 28a farthest from the basic pixel 29 is subjected to an edit process so as to have a cross shape. Each pixel 28 in the row of pixels 28 (row of one pixel) arranged on the row 15 rotates in one direction in a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is sequentially accumulated from the basic pixel 29, that is, In the arrangement of the pixels 28 arranged on each pixel row 15 (the arrangement of one pixel), the rotation angle θ _{1 of the first} pixel 28 that is the pixel next to the basic pixel 29 becomes θ, and the rotation angle θ ₁ of the second pixel is rotation angle theta ₂ is 2θ, and the following Similarly after the rotation angle theta _n of the n-th pixel 28 is to give the image data subjected to the edit processing so that n.theta, outputs each pixel 28 in the transparent film 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment It is formed by.

When the virtual image displaying decorative body in which the pixel layers 8 according to the present modification are laminated is visually observed in the same manner as in the first embodiment,
As shown in FIG. 11B, the virtual image 30 is the reference pixel 10
It appears to float in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer with the center as Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the position to be viewed while maintaining the viewing direction is moved substantially parallel to the array of pixels 28 arranged on each pixel row 15 (an array of one pixel). And the virtual image 30 according to the rotation of each pixel 28 located in a direction in which the virtual image 30 moves while moving slightly in the direction opposite to the direction in which the virtual image 30 is moved.
The object appears to rotate with the center of the pixel as a fulcrum, and also appears to be deformed into a rhombus or a cross in accordance with the shape of each pixel 28.

Since the shape of the virtual image 30 is determined by the shape of each pixel 28 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the shape of the virtual image 30 on the basic pixel 29 side is closer to the diamond shape than the shape of the reference pixel 10. The shape of the virtual image 30 on the farthest pixel 28a side is closer to a cross shape than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

Further, in the present modification, when a plurality of virtual images 30 appear and the position to be viewed is moved, each virtual image 3 is moved.
0 appears to rotate for each virtual image 30.

The pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17
One direction in a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is sequentially accumulated from one pixel 28 selected from the respective pixels 28 in the row of the pixels 28 arranged above (the row of the other pixel). Edit processing is performed so that the pixel row 28 is rotated in the direction of
Arrangement of pixels 28 arranged on 5 (arrangement of one pixel)
If the editing process is performed so that each pixel 28 of the above is separated from the basic pixel 29 such that the shape of the basic pixel 29 is gradually deformed, each pixel 28 in the array of the pixels 28 arranged on each pixel column 12 Is a pixel row 15 including the one pixel 28
It is possible to obtain a pixel arrangement formed so as to rotate in one direction in a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is sequentially accumulated from each pixel 28 arranged in.

The virtual image displaying decorative body 31 according to the present embodiment
As shown in FIG. 12, a transparent substrate layer 5 made of a transparent substrate 4 and a plano-convex lens-like condensing element 2 laminated on the surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The convex lens-shaped light collecting element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8 in which a large number of pixels 32 are vertically and horizontally aligned and laminated on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 are provided. As shown in FIG. 13, reference numeral 8 denotes a reference light condensing element 9 and a reference pixel 10 in which the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 and the pixel 32 overlap each other in the top and bottom.
A reference pixel row 1 having a set of
A set of other pixel columns 12, 12 equidistant to 1 corresponds to the other pixel column 12, 12
The reference pixel array 11 is displaced inward with respect to the reference pixel array 11 as a central axis, and the pixel array 12 or 12 outside the reference pixel array 11 has a larger width, and the reference pixel 10 is included. A set of other pixel rows 15 and 15 equidistant from the pixel row 14 have the reference pixel row 14 as a central axis with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 16 and 16 corresponding to the other pixel rows 15 and 15. Toward the inside, the pixel row 12,
With the same deviation width as the deviation width in 12,
Pixel rows 15 and 15 outside the reference pixel row 14 are arranged so that the width of deviation is larger.

As shown in FIG. 14, the pixel layer 8 is formed by a personal computer using an editing processing application, and has a number of lines exceeding the number of lines of the line forming the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3. Pixels 32 having the same pitch as the pitch of the squares formed by the mesh forming the
Are aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the pixels 32 arranged on the pixel column 12 located closest to the reference line 17 orthogonal to the arrangement of the pixels 32 arranged on each pixel row 15 (arrangement of one pixel). Each of the rectangular pixels 32 in the arrangement (the arrangement of the other pixel) is set as a basic pixel 33, and a part of each pixel 32 in the arrangement of the pixels 32 arranged on each pixel row 15 is the basic pixel 3
As it goes away from 3, it bends in one direction in a bending pattern that accumulates the same bending angle α, that is, each pixel row 15
In the arrangement of the pixels 32 arranged above, the bending angle α _{1 of the first} pixel 32, which is the pixel next to the basic pixel 33, becomes α, and the bending angle α _{2 of the second} pixel 32 becomes, and so on. The pixel 3 that is bent and deformed so that the bending angle α _{n of the n-th} pixel 32 becomes _n α and is the farthest from the basic pixel 33.
After obtaining the image data of the pixel arrangement that has been edited so that the shape of 2a becomes a deeply bent shape, each pixel 32 is output to the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It is formed.

The virtual image displaying decorative body 31 according to the present embodiment
As shown in (a) of FIG. 15, when the position to be viewed in the state of being viewed from the X direction (see FIG. 13) is fixed directly above the reference pixel 10 and viewed by each eye, , A set of other pixel rows 12 and 12 equidistant from the reference pixel row 11 parallel to the X direction correspond to the other pixel rows 12 and 12, respectively. Row 13, 1
3 is shifted inward with the reference pixel row 11 as the central axis, and the width of the other pixel rows 12, 12 outside the reference pixel row 11 is larger.
The image 34 (see (a) of FIG. 16) seen when viewed with the left eye 19 shifts to the right (see (b) of FIG. 16) when viewed with the right eye 21, and when viewed with the right eye 21 The visible image 35 (see (a) of FIG. 17) is the left eye 1
When viewed visually at 9, the image shifts to the left (see (b) of FIG. 17). That is, comparing the positional relationship between the image 34 seen when the virtual image displaying decorative body 31 is viewed only by the left eye 19 and the image 35 seen when viewed by only the right eye 21 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a) of the above, the images 34 and 35 appear so that the eyes do not intersect each other. Due to the displacement of the images 34 and 35, the virtual image 36 is a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element with the reference pixel 10 as the center. It seems to sink in the bottom (lower side) of layer 3.

Further, the virtual image 3 is displayed with the virtual image displaying decorative body 31 held in the X direction (see FIG. 13).
6 is located at each pixel row 15
When it is moved substantially parallel to the two rows (one pixel row), that is, when it is moved substantially perpendicular to the viewing direction (X direction) (see FIG. 15B). Has
Each pixel 3 in the array of pixels 32 arranged on each pixel row 15
Since part of 2 is deformed so as to bend in one direction in a bending pattern that accumulates the same bending angle α as the distance from the basic pixel 33 increases, the position where the virtual image 36 is viewed is set in the Y direction (see FIG. 13). When moved, the virtual image 36 is slightly moved in the Y direction ((a) in FIG. 18) as shown in (a) in FIG.
While appearing to be gradually deformed into a rectangular shape in accordance with the shape of each pixel 32 located in the moving direction while moving in the direction of the arrow (in the direction of the arrow), the position where the virtual image 36 is viewed is opposite to the Y direction (see FIG. 13). (See FIG. 1), the virtual image 36 becomes
As shown in (b) of FIG. 8, while slightly moving in the direction opposite to the Y direction (the direction of the arrow in (b) of FIG. 18), it is bent in accordance with the shape of each pixel 32 located in the moving direction. Looks like.

The virtual image 36 slightly moves when the viewing position is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8. Also, a set of other pixel columns 1 equidistant from the reference pixel column 11
2 and 12 are displaced inward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element arrays 13 and 13 corresponding to the other pixel arrays 12 and 12 with the reference pixel array 11 as a central axis, and the reference pixel array 11 This is because the other pixel columns 12, 12 on the outer side have a larger offset width.

Next, when the viewing direction of the virtual image displaying decorative body 31 is changed and the viewing position is viewed from directly above the reference pixel 10 in the Y direction (see FIG. 13), As shown in FIG. 13, when viewed from the X direction, the pixel row 12 becomes a pixel row, the pixel row 15 becomes a pixel row, the reference pixel row 11 becomes a reference pixel row, and the reference pixel row 14 becomes a reference pixel row. The convex lens-shaped condensing element row 13 becomes a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row, and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row 1
6 is a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row, and the pixel row is the pixel row 15, the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row is the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row, and the pixel row is the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens shape. The plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row, which was the condensing element row 13, is the pixel row 12, the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 13, the pixel row 15, and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 1 when viewed from the X direction.
Since it has the same positional relationship as that of No. 6, the virtual image 37 appears to be sunk behind (below) the plano-convex lens-like condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center, as shown in FIG. .

Further, the position where the virtual image 37 is viewed with the direction where the virtual image 37 is viewed held in the Y direction (see FIG. 13) is set to the pixel 32 arranged on each pixel column which is the pixel row 15. When it is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement (the arrangement of one pixel), that is, when it is moved substantially parallel to the viewing direction (Y direction), it is arranged on each pixel column. A part of each pixel 32 in the array of the pixels 32 is deformed so as to be bent in one direction in a bending pattern that accumulates the same bending angle α as the distance from the basic pixel 33 increases. Y direction (see Figure 13)
19A, the virtual image 37 of each pixel 32 located in the direction moved while slightly moving in the Y direction (the arrow direction in (a) of FIG. 19), as shown in (a) of FIG. It seems that the shape gradually changes to a rectangle according to the shape, and when the position where the virtual image 37 is viewed is moved in the direction opposite to the Y direction (see FIG. 13), the virtual image 37 is shown in FIG. 19B. As shown in FIG. 19 (b).
It seems to bend in accordance with the shape of each pixel 32 located in the moving direction while moving in the middle (arrow direction).

The virtual image 37 slightly moves when the viewing position is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8. Further, the pixel row that is the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row that is the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row 16 and the pixel row that is the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row 13 This is because the convex lens-shaped light condensing element row has the same positional relationship as the pixel row 12, the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 13, and the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16 when viewed from the X direction. is there.

Since the shapes of the virtual images 36 and 37 are determined by the shape of each pixel 32 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the shape of the virtual images 36 and 37 on the side of the basic pixel 33 is more than that of the reference pixel 10. Also has a shape close to the shape of the pixel 32 having a small bending angle, and the farthest pixel 32 of the virtual images 36 and 37 is
The shape on the a side is similar to the shape of the pixel 32 having a larger bending angle than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

Modification 1: There are two types of pixels in the pixel layer 8 according to this modification, and as shown in FIG. 20, a pixel 38 and a different type from the pixel 38 are used by using an editing processing application in a personal computer. A large number of pixels 38 and 39 are arranged vertically and horizontally in the same manner as in the third embodiment except that the pixels 39 and the pixels 39 are arranged vertically and horizontally alternately, and the pixels 38 and 39 are alternately arranged on each pixel row 15. Pixel 3
8 and the arrangement of the pixels 39 (arrangement of one pixel) and the arrangement of the pixels 38 and 39 (the arrangement of the other pixel) alternately arranged on the pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17 orthogonal to the reference line 17 and the reference. Each of the diamond-shaped pixels 38 in the row of pixels 38 and 39 located next to the row of pixels 38 and 39 arranged alternately on the pixel row 12 located on the line 17 (adjacent to the right in FIG. 20) Is set as a basic pixel 40, and each smile-shaped pixel 39
As the basic pixel 41, the shape of each pixel 38 in the array of the pixels 38 and the pixels 39 which are alternately arranged on each pixel row 15 becomes a shape in which the shape of the basic pixel 40 is gradually deformed as the distance from the basic pixel 40 increases. Further, the pixel 38a farthest from the basic pixel 40 is edited so that the shape of the pixel 38a becomes circular, and the shapes of the pixels 38 and the pixels 39 arranged in an array on the pixel rows 15 are alternately arranged. Is a shape in which the shape of the basic pixel 41 is gradually deformed as the distance from the basic pixel 41 increases, and the shape of the pixel 39a farthest from the basic pixel 41 becomes a fuzzy face. After obtaining the image data, each pixel 38, 3 is formed on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the third embodiment.
It is formed by outputting 9.

Then, as shown in FIG. 21, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8 in the virtual image displaying decorative body 31 in which the pixel layers 8 according to the present modification are laminated are the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements. The element 2 and the pixel 39 are arranged so as to have the same positional relationship as that of the third embodiment, except that the element 2 and the pixel 39 have a pair of the reference condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 that are most vertically overlapped with each other.

The virtual image 42 of the pixel 38 appears and the virtual image 43 of the pixel 38 appears centering on the pixel 38 adjacent to the reference pixel 10.
A virtual image 44 in a state where the virtual image 42 and the virtual image 43 are overlapped with each other appears to be sunk in the back (downward) of the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3. Further, as in the case of the third embodiment, with respect to the arrangement of the pixels 38 and the pixels 39 (the arrangement of one pixel) alternately arranged on each pixel row 15 at the viewing position while maintaining the viewing direction. When the virtual image 44 is moved substantially in parallel, the virtual image 44 is gradually deformed in accordance with the shape of each pixel 38, 39 located in the moved direction while slightly moving in the same direction as the moved position. looks like.

Since the shape of the virtual image 42 is determined by the shape of each pixel 39 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the shape of the virtual image 42 on the side of the basic pixel 41 is a smile shape rather than the shape of the reference pixel 10. The shape on the side of the pixel 39a farthest away from the virtual image 42 is closer to the shape of an angry face than the shape of the reference pixel 10. In addition, since the shape of the virtual image 43 is determined by the shape of each pixel 38 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the shape of the virtual image 43 on the side of the basic pixel 40 becomes a shape closer to a rhombus than the shape of the reference pixel 10, Virtual image 43
The shape on the side of the pixel 38a farthest from is closer to a circle than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

When the pixel layer 8 according to this modification is laminated on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5, the reference condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 are formed.
When many virtual images are formed, it appears that each virtual image 44 is deformed for each virtual image 44 when the position where each virtual image 44 is viewed is moved.

Modification 2: The pixels of the pixel layer 8 according to this modification are also of two types, and as shown in FIG. 23, a pixel 38 and a different type from the pixel 38 are used by using an editing processing application in a personal computer. A large number of pixels 38 and 39 are aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions in the same manner as in the third embodiment except that the pixels 39 are alternately arranged in the left-right direction and are arranged in the same pattern in the vertical direction.

Each diamond-shaped pixel 38 is a basic pixel 40,
In addition, the pixel row 1 next to the row of the pixels 38 arranged on the pixel row 12 located on the reference line 17 (adjacent to the right in FIG. 23).
Arrangement of the pixels 39 arranged on 2 (arrangement of the other pixel)
Each of the smiling face-shaped pixels 39 is defined as a basic pixel 41, and the shapes of the pixels 38 and the pixels 38 arranged in an array of the pixels 39 alternately arranged on each pixel row 15 are separated from the basic pixel 40 as the shape of the basic pixel 40 increases. Is gradually deformed, and the pixel 38a farthest from the basic pixel 40 is subjected to the editing process so as to have a circular shape, and the pixels 38 and 39 arranged alternately on each pixel row 15 are processed. The shape of each of the pixels 39 in the array is a shape in which the shape of the basic pixel 41 is gradually deformed with increasing distance from the basic pixel 41, and
After obtaining the image data of the pixel arrangement that has been subjected to the edit processing so that the shape of the pixel 39a farthest from the basic pixel 41 becomes an angry face, the pixel data is formed on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the third embodiment. Each pixel 38, 39 is output and formed.

Even in the virtual image displaying decorative body in which the pixel layers 8 according to the present modification are laminated, it is possible to obtain the same actions and effects as those of the modification 1.

Modification 3: The pixels of the pixel layer 8 according to this modification are also of two types, and as shown in FIG. 24, a pixel 38 and a different type from the pixel 38 are used by using an editing application in a personal computer. A large number of pixels 38 and 45 are arranged vertically and horizontally in the same manner as in the third embodiment except that they are arranged in a pattern in which the pixels 45 are alternately arranged vertically and horizontally, and are alternately arranged on each pixel row 15. Pixel 38
And an array of pixels 38 and 45 (an array of the other pixel) and the reference line which are alternately arranged on the pixel column 12 located on the reference line 17 orthogonal to the array of the pixels 40 (an array of one pixel). Of the array of pixels 38 and 45 located next to the array of pixels 38 and 45 arranged alternately on the pixel column 12 located on 17 (right adjacent in FIG. 24) (array of the other pixel) Each diamond-shaped pixel 38 is a basic pixel 40,
Pixels 38 and pixels 4 arranged alternately on each pixel row 15
Editing is performed so that the shape of each pixel 38 in the array of 5 becomes a shape in which the shape of the basic pixel 40 is gradually deformed as the distance from the basic pixel 40 increases, and the shape of the pixel 38a farthest from the basic pixel 40 becomes circular. After obtaining the processed image data of the pixel arrangement, the pixels 38 and 45 are output and formed on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the third embodiment.

After the pixel layer 8 according to the present modification is formed on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer so as to be arranged in the same manner as in the modification 1, it is visually observed as in the case of the third embodiment.

Further, similarly to the third embodiment, the pixels 38 which are arranged alternately on the pixel rows 15 at the positions to be viewed while maintaining the viewing direction.
And when the pixel 45 is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement (the arrangement of one pixel), the virtual image 44 slightly moves in the same direction as the direction in which the position visually observed is moved, and the virtual image 43 moves. It seems to gradually transform into a rhombus or a circle in accordance with the shape of each pixel 38 located in this direction.

Since the shape of the virtual image 43 is determined by the shape of each pixel 38 located in the vicinity of the reference pixel 10, the shape of the virtual image 43 on the basic pixel 40 side is closer to the diamond shape than the shape of the reference pixel 10. The shape of the virtual image 43 on the farthest pixel 38a side is closer to a circle than the shape of the reference pixel 10.

A set of other pixel rows 15 and 15 equidistant from the pixel row 14 have the reference pixel row 14 as a central axis with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 16 and 16 corresponding to the other pixel rows 15 and 15. The pixel rows 15 and 15 are arranged so that the widths of the pixel rows 15 and 15 outside the reference pixel row 14 are larger than those of the reference pixel row 14 while being shifted toward the outside.

In this embodiment, the transparent film 6 and the pixels 49 formed on the transparent film 6 are combined to form a pixel layer 50.

The pixel layer 50, as shown in FIG. 27, uses a personal computer using an editing processing application to form the plano-convex lenticular light-collecting element layers 3 with the pitch of the pixels 49 in the vertical direction. The pitch of the squares is the same as the pitch of the squares formed by the meshes that form a mesh having a similar number of lines, and the pitch of the pixels 49 in the horizontal direction is the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3. A large number of pixels 49 are arranged vertically and horizontally with the same pitch as the unit of the grid formed by the mesh forming the mesh having a number of lines close to the number of lines of the formed mesh plus a predetermined number of lines. The shape of each pixel 49 in the row of pixels 49 (row of one pixel) arranged on the pixel row 15 is

When the pixel 49 is moved in a direction substantially parallel to the row (one pixel row), each of the pixels 49 in the row of the pixels 49 arranged on each pixel row 15 moves away from the basic pixel 51. Since the shape of the virtual image 52 is gradually deformed, the virtual image 52 moves in the same direction as the direction in which the position to be viewed is moved while slightly moving, as shown in (a) of FIG.

And a pixel layer 62 formed by arranging a plurality of the pixel layers 62 as described above.
34, as shown in FIG. 34, the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 and the pixel 61 have a set of the reference light condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 in which the top and bottom are most overlapped, and the reference pixel including the reference pixel 10 is included. A set of other pixel columns 12, 12 equidistant from column 11.
Are shifted outward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 13 and 13 corresponding to the other pixel rows 12 and 12 with the reference pixel row 11 as the central axis, and pixels outside the reference pixel row 11 A set of other pixel rows 15 and 15 that are wider than the columns 12 and 12 and are equidistant from the reference pixel row 14 including the reference pixel 10 are the other pixel rows 15 and 15.
With respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 16 and 16 corresponding to the above, the reference pixel row 14 is displaced toward the outside with a deviation width larger than the deviation width in the pixel columns 12 and 12, and the reference pixel row 14 is used. Outer pixel rows 15, 15
It is arranged so that the width of deviation is large.

In the present embodiment, the transparent film 6 and the pixels 61 formed on the transparent film 6 are combined to form a pixel layer 62.

As shown in FIG. 34, the pixel layer 62 has a pitch of the pixels 61 in the left-right direction by using an editing processing application in a personal computer, and the number of lines of the mesh body in which the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 is formed. The pitch of the cells 61 in the vertical direction is set to the same pitch as the pitch of the squares formed by the meshes forming the mesh body having a similar number of lines by subtracting a predetermined number of lines from the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3. A large number of pixels 55 are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions with the same pitch as the pitch of the grid formed by the grid forming the mesh having a similar number of lines obtained by subtracting the number of lines exceeding the predetermined number from the number of lines of the formed mesh. Pixels 6 arranged on the pixel column 12 positioned on the reference line 17 which is aligned and is orthogonal to the arrangement of the pixels 61 (arrangement of one pixel) arranged on each pixel row 15.
Rectangle-shaped pixels 61 in a row of 1 (row of the other pixel)
Is the basic pixel 63, the shape of each pixel 61 in the array of the pixels 61 arranged on each pixel row 15 is a shape in which the shape of the basic pixel 63 is gradually deformed as the distance from the basic pixel 63 increases, and Pixel 61a farthest from 63
After obtaining the image data of the pixel arrangement that has been subjected to the edit processing so that the shape of FIG. 2 becomes a large bent shape, each pixel 61 is formed on the transparent film 6 by outputting in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It will be.

When the virtual image displaying decorative body 60 according to the present embodiment is viewed from the X direction (see FIG. 34) and the position to be viewed is fixed right above the reference pixel 10, the X
A pair of other pixel rows 12 and 12 equidistant to the reference pixel row 11 parallel to the direction are compared with the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 13 and 13 corresponding to the other pixel rows 12 and 12, respectively. And the other pixel rows 12, 12 outside the reference pixel row 11 while being displaced outward with the reference pixel row 11 as the central axis.
Since the width of deviation is large, (a) of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 37, the virtual image 64 appears to float in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center in a state where the left and right are reversed from the pixel 61 ((a) in FIG. 37,
It is shown by a dotted line. ).

It is to be noted that the virtual image 64 appears in a state in which the left and right sides of the pixel 61 are reversed, as shown in FIG.
The shape of 1 is asymmetrical to the left and right, and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the right side of the reference pixel row 11 overlaps with the left side portion of the pixel 61 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2. Since the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the left side of the reference pixel row 11 overlaps with the right side portion of the pixel 61 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, the plano-convex lens located on the right side of the reference pixel row 11 The light condensing element 2 plays a role of exposing the left side portion of the pixel 61, and the reference pixel row 1
The plano-convex lens-like condensing element 2 located on the left side of 1 is the pixel 61.
This is because it plays the role of exposing the right part of.

Further, the virtual image 6 is displayed with the virtual image displaying decorative body 60 held in the X direction (see FIG. 34).
4 is the pixel 6 arranged on each pixel row 15
When moved in parallel to one row (one row of pixels), the pixels 61 arranged on each pixel row 15 are arranged.
Since the shape of each pixel 61 in the array is gradually deformed as it goes away from the basic pixel 63, the virtual image 64 is in a direction opposite to the direction in which the position to be viewed is moved, as shown in (a) of FIG. It appears to be deformed into a dogleg shape or a rectangle that gradually bends greatly in accordance with the shape of each pixel 61 located in the moving direction while slightly moving ((a) in FIG. 37).
The middle and solid lines are shown. ).

The virtual image 64 has a horizontally long shape because the pitch of each pixel 61 differs between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.
This is because the vertical pitch is shorter than the horizontal pitch.

Next, when the direction in which the virtual image displaying decorative body 60 is viewed is changed and the viewing position is fixed right above the reference pixel 10 in the Y direction (see FIG. 34). In addition, when viewed from the X direction, the pixel row 12 is a pixel row, the pixel row 15 is a pixel row, the reference pixel row 11 is a reference pixel row, the reference pixel row 14 is a reference pixel row, and The photoelement array 13 is a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row, the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 is a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row, and the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 are The convex lens-like condensing element row and the pixel row that is the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row that is the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 are the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like concentrating row when viewed from the X direction. Photon column 13 and pixel row 15 and plano-convex Since the positional relationship is similar to that of the lens-shaped light condensing element row 16, as shown in FIG. 36 (b), the plano-convex lens centered on the reference pixel 10 with the virtual image 64 upside down with respect to the pixel 61. It appears to be floating (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 37 (b)) in front of (above) the light condensing element layer 3 and below the height of the virtual image 63.

The virtual image 63 which appears when the virtual image displaying decorative body 60 is viewed from the X direction (see (a) of FIG. 36).
The virtual image 64 that appears when viewed from the Y direction (see (b) of FIG. 36) floats at a lower height position than the reference image when viewed from the X direction. The pixel array 12 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element array 13 located at a constant distance from the center 11 is the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element array 1
The width of the pixel row 15 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16 located at a constant distance from the reference pixel row 14 is displaced from the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 16 more than the width deviated from the reference pixel row 14. Because it is big.

Further, the virtual image 6 is displayed with the virtual image displaying decorative body 60 held in the Y direction (see FIG. 34).
4 is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of the pixels 61 (arrangement of one pixel) arranged on each pixel column which is the pixel row 15, Each pixel 6 in the array of pixels 61 arranged on each existing pixel column
Since the shape of 1 is gradually deformed as it goes away from the basic pixel 63, the virtual image 64 slightly moves in the direction opposite to the direction in which the position to be viewed is moved, as shown in FIG. 37 (b). It appears to be deformed into a downward V shape or a rectangle that is gradually greatly bent according to the shape of each pixel 55 located in the moving direction (indicated by a solid line in FIG. 37 (b)).

The reference line and the basic pixel row are shown by a chain line. FIG. 39
FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating a positional relationship between plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements and pixels of the virtual image displaying decorative body according to the present embodiment, in which a reference line and a basic pixel row are alternate long and short dash lines, and a plano-convex lens-shaped collection. The photo element train is shown by a dotted line. FIG. 40 is a plan view illustrating a virtual image that appears when the virtual image displaying decorative body according to the present embodiment is viewed. FIG. 41 is a plan view for explaining each virtual image when a plurality of virtual images appear. In these figures, the same symbols as those in FIGS. 1 to 37 indicate the same or corresponding parts.

The virtual image displaying decorative body according to the present embodiment is a transparent substrate layer 5 made of a transparent substrate 4, and a plano-convex lens shape laminated on the surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 38, a condensing element layer 3 and a pad body having a line number less than or equal to the number of lines of the pad body on which the plano-convex lens-like condensing element layer 3 is formed by using a personal computer with an editing application A large number of pixels 49 are vertically and horizontally aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the squares formed by the mesh lines to be formed, and the editing process is performed in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment (pixels shown by dotted lines in FIG. 38). ), With one pixel row (hereinafter, referred to as “pixel”) having a tilt pattern in which the same tilt angle β is sequentially accumulated from the pixel row 15 adjacent to the pixel row 12a with the pixel row 12a located on the reference line 17 left. "Basic pixel row".) 66 So as to incline arranged in one direction pixel 49 arranged as a fulcrum, i.e., the pixel row 12a
The inclination angle β _{1 of the first} pixel row 12 which is the pixel row next to the pixel row 12 is β, the inclination angle β _{2 of the second} pixel row 12 is 2β, and so on. Tilt angle β _n is n
After obtaining pixel data in which the pixel rows 12 are tilted to be β and arranged in a substantially fan shape, each pixel 49 is formed on the transparent film 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 39, a pixel layer 67 (see FIG. 38) is formed on one surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 on which the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 is not formed, The row 12a and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element row 68 in the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer 3 are arranged so as to be parallel to each other, and the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 and the pixel 49 overlap each other at the top and bottom for the reference light condensing. The other plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements 2b, 2 are arranged so as to have a set composed of the element 9 and the reference pixel 10 and are equidistant on a diagonal line centered on the reference condensing element 9.
The other pixels 49b and 49c located at the position corresponding to c are compared with the other plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing elements 2b and 2c.
The layers are stacked such that they are laterally displaced in a point-symmetrical position with 0 as a center and radially displaced toward the outside, and the other pixel 49 outside the reference pixel 9 has a larger offset width.

In the present embodiment, FIG. 40 (a) is used.
As shown in, the virtual image 69 is floated in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center in a state where the virtual image 69 is inverted upside down with respect to the pixel 49, and the virtual image 68 is visually observed. When the position is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of the pixels 49 arranged on each pixel row (the arrangement of one pixel), the virtual image 69 moves in the direction opposite to the direction in which the position to be viewed is moved. It appears to gradually transform into a circle or a star in accordance with the shape of each pixel 49 located in the moving direction while slightly moving.

The reason why the shape of the virtual image 69 is distorted is that
Since each pixel column 12 is tilted, the horizontal pitch of each pixel 49 increases as the distance from the basic pixel row 66 increases, and the difference between the pitch of each pixel 49 and the pitch of each plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 becomes large. This is because it becomes smaller.

Further, as shown in FIG. 41, when a plurality of reference pixels 10 are formed in the virtual image displaying decorative body according to the present embodiment, the reference pixels 10 are the basic pixels in the direction away from the pixel row 12a. A plurality of virtual images 69 are formed side by side at regular intervals on a curved line on the row 66 side, and the virtual image 69 appears side by side around the reference pixel 10. The virtual image 69 is gradually extended as it approaches the basic pixel row 66. Each virtual image 69 is transformed into a virtual image 69 and appears at a higher height.
When the position where the user sees is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of the pixels 49 arranged on each pixel row (the arrangement of one pixel), each virtual image 69 is moved in the direction in which the position to be seen is moved. While slightly moving in the opposite direction, it seems to be gradually deformed according to the shape of each pixel 49 located in the moving direction.

The inclination angle β is a value determined by the thickness and material of the transparent substrate 4, the number of lines forming the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer 3, and the number of lines forming the pixel layer 67. , 0.001 ≤ tilt angle β ≤ 1.0 is preferably selected.

4 is a plan view illustrating each virtual image when a plurality of virtual images appear. In these drawings, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 41 indicate the same or corresponding portions.

The virtual image displaying decorative body according to the present embodiment includes a transparent substrate layer 5 made of a transparent substrate 4, and a plano-convex lens laminated on the surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. 42. The light concentrating element layer 3 and a gauze body having a number of lines greater than that of the gauze body on which the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element layer 3 is formed by using an editing application in a personal computer as shown in FIG. A large number of pixels 49 are aligned vertically and horizontally at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid formed by the mesh forming the mesh, and the edit processing is performed in the same manner as in the sixth embodiment. And a pixel layer formed by forming each pixel 49 on the transparent film 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment after performing the editing process in the same manner as in the eighth embodiment. Transparent group in which 3 is not formed On one surface of the layer 5, the pixel layer is arranged such that the pixel array 12a in the pixel layer and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element array 68 in the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 are parallel to each other, and The light element 2 and the pixel 49 are arranged so as to have a set of the reference light condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 which are most overlapped with each other in the vertical direction, and the other elements are equidistant on the diagonal line centered on the reference light condensing element 9. Plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2
other pixels 49b and 49c at positions corresponding to b and 2c
With respect to the other plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements 2b and 2c are laterally displaced in a point-symmetrical position with respect to the reference condensing element 10 as a center, and radially displaced inward, and other than the reference pixel 9 outside. The pixels 49 are stacked so that the width of the pixel 49 is larger.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 43, the virtual image 70 appears by sinking in the back (downward) of the plano-convex lens-like condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center, and further, the virtual image 70 is formed. Pixels 4 arranged on each pixel row to be visually inspected
When the virtual image 70 is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of 9 (the arrangement of one pixel), the virtual image 70 is moved in a direction in which it moves slightly while moving in the same direction as the position in which the virtual image 70 is viewed. It seems to be gradually deformed according to the shape of the pixel 49.

The reason why the shape of the virtual image 70 is distorted is that
Since each pixel column is inclined as in the case of the eighth embodiment, the horizontal pitch of each pixel 49 increases as the distance from the basic pixel row 66 increases, and the pitch of each pixel 49 and each plano-convex lens-like condensing element are increased. This is because the difference from the pitch of 2 becomes large.

When a plurality of reference pixels 10 are formed in the virtual image displaying decorative body according to the present embodiment, the reference pixels 10 are arranged in the direction away from the basic pixel row 66, as shown in FIG. A plurality of virtual images centered on the reference pixel 10 appear side by side on the curved line on the side of the row 12a, and the virtual image 70 is gradually extended as it moves away from the pixel row 12a. And appears at a deeper height. Furthermore, each virtual image 70
When the position for visually observing is moved substantially in parallel to the array of pixels 47 (an array of one pixel) arranged on each pixel row, each virtual image 70 has a direction in which the position for visually observing is moved. While slightly moving in the same direction, it seems to be gradually deformed according to the shape of each pixel 49 located in the moving direction.

In the virtual image displaying decorative body 71, the horizontal pitch of the first pixels 75 is larger than the pitch of the plano-convex lens-like condensing element 2, and the horizontal pitch of the second pixels 77 is plano-convex lens-like condensing. Since the pitch is smaller than the pitch of the element 2, as shown in FIG. 46, the virtual image 82 of the first pixel 75 is the reference first pixel 79.
Appears above the virtual image displaying decorative body 71, and the virtual image 83 of the second pixel 77 appears below the virtual image displaying decorative body 71 centering around the reference second pixel 81.

Further, when the position to be viewed is moved, the virtual image 82 appears to be deformed as in the first embodiment, and the virtual image 83 appears to be deformed as in the third embodiment.

The same effect can be obtained by stacking the first pixel layer 72 after stacking the second pixel layer 73 on the back surface of the transparent substrate 4 on which the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 is not formed. .
