DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a card and its authentication method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The Lippmann hologram is a transmittance distribution or a refractive index distribution with an interval d in the thickness direction of the optical recording material when object light is incident from one side of an optical recording material such as a silver halide photographic film and reference light is incident from the other side. Where the wavelength d is λ, the refractive index of the optical recording material is n, and the angle between the object light and the reference light is θ, d = λ / (2n・ Sin θ / 2) ・ ・ ・ ・ (1) The thus-recorded Lippmann hologram has high wavelength selectivity, and when white light containing infrared rays is incident, only the light of wavelength λ is diffracted and the recorded information is reproduced. Light of other wavelengths is transmitted without being diffracted.

Therefore, when infrared light of wavelength λ 2 is irradiated from the hologram layer 4 side, it passes through the hologram layer 4 and the black masking layer 3 and reaches the print 5. The infrared light absorbed according to the information of the print 5 and reflected by the card substrate 1 passes through the black masking layer 3 and the hologram layer 4 and comes out. By arranging the optical sensor 6 which detects only the light of the wavelength λ 2 and using the variable information such as the machine readable bar code, the symbol and the character as the print 5 information, the print 5 information is printed by the unmanned card processing device. It becomes possible to read and identify the individual card.

In the case of FIG. 1, the card base material 1 is infrared light reflective, but when the card base material 1 is infrared light absorptive, infrared light reflective as an ink used for the printing 5 is used. It is possible to use a transparent material or to provide an infrared reflection layer between the black masking layer 3 and the base material 1. The print 5 may be provided below the adhesive layer 2. Further, the hiding layer 3 does not necessarily have to be black, and may have other colors including white. However, when the reflectance of the visible wavelength λ 1 reproduced from the Lippmann hologram layer 4 is high, the information reproduced from the hologram layer 4 becomes difficult to see, and when the information is used as the authentication information as described later, It becomes difficult to read, and is not desirable. Further, not only one piece of information but also a plurality of pieces of information may be recorded in the Lippmann hologram layer 4 by wavelength multiplexing.

In the above, only the print 5 information under the black hiding layer 3 is used for the authentication by the machine reading of the card, and the information of the hologram layer 4 is used as the visual authentication information, other design information, and other information. However, another optical sensor 7 that records the machine-reading authentication information in the hologram layer 4 and detects only this light having the wavelength λ 1 is used.
It is possible to perform more advanced authentication by synchronizing with the information of the print 5 read by the optical sensor 6 and the information of the print 5 read by the optical sensor 6. An example of the signal processing is shown in FIG.
In this case, the same bar code pattern is used as the print pattern 5'of the print 5 and the hologram recording pattern 4'of the hologram layer 4. In this case, the read signals obtained from both optical sensors 6 and 7 are used. It is put in the AND circuit 8 so that the authentication signal is output only when the both match. Therefore, the hologram layer 4, the print 5
If any of the above is altered or tampered with, the authentication information can no longer be read, and high-level authentication becomes possible. of course,
In the above, the information recorded in the hologram layer 4 and the print 5 need not be the same, and the processing of the signals of both is not limited to the collation by the AND circuit as described above, and various known methods can be used. Can be adopted.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the card and the authentication method of the present invention, at least infrared light absorption or reflection ink printing, and substantially infrared light emission are performed in order from the card substrate side. Since the concealing layer that transmits and does not transmit visible light and the Lippmann hologram layer are laminated, only the recorded information of the hologram layer can be seen on the appearance, and the print information below it cannot be seen. By irradiating infrared light and detecting and identifying the print information under the hologram layer by the infrared light detecting device, it becomes possible to individually identify the card by the unattended card processing device. In addition, since the hologram layer and the print are laminated, restrictions on the design space on the card are significantly reduced, and a card with a high design is obtained. Also,
