DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image display having a security layer such as an image pattern formed by image data and a hologram image, and applied to a booklet such as an ID card and a passport. In particular, the present invention relates to an intermediate transfer sheet for thermal transfer image recording, in which transfer of an image from an intermediate transfer sheet to an object to be transferred is performed easily and satisfactorily, and the image display body after image formation has good durability. is there.

[0002]

2. Related Background Art As a method of forming an image pattern by a thermal transfer means based on image data, a sublimation transfer method and a fusion heat transfer method are known.

One example of this method is described in detail (FIG. 4). The thermal transfer layers g (Y), (M), and (C) containing a dye or pigment such as yellow, magenta, and cyan on a belt-like sheet f.
Is used to transfer the transfer ribbon a and a substrate b (transfer object) such as a card between the platen roller c and the thermal head d. This is a method in which a heating element group (not shown) of the thermal head d is appropriately heated based on image data to form an image pattern on the base material b (transfer member) based on the data. In this case, the transfer ribbon a is always transported in the B direction, while the base material b is pulled back in the A 'direction each time the transfer of one color is completed, and transported again in the A direction to transfer the second color and the third color. Since the transfer is performed sequentially, a color image pattern e such as a face photograph can be formed on the base material b (transfer object) as shown in FIG.

[0004] It is technically difficult to form an image directly on a final recording medium (image display) to which an image is to be provided using these image forming means, the mass productivity is poor, or the cost is high. In such a case, a method of forming an image on an intermediate transfer sheet for the time being and then re-transferring the image to a final product by a heat roller or a hot press plate transfer is adopted ( For example, JP-A-63-81093.

Here, as a method for imparting adhesiveness at the time of retransfer from an intermediate transfer sheet on which an image is formed to a final image display (transferred object), the image receiving layer itself of the intermediate transfer sheet is provided with adhesiveness. It is known to use a method of forming an image receiving / adhesive layer and using an adhesive layer transfer sheet (JP-A-8-2766).
No. 96, JP-A-8-276699). In the method using the adhesive layer transfer sheet, from the adhesive layer transfer sheet,
After transferring the adhesive layer to the intermediate transfer sheet on which the image was formed,
A method of transferring an image from an intermediate transfer sheet to a final image display (transfer object), and a method of transferring an adhesive layer from the adhesive layer transfer sheet to a final image display (transfer object), and then displaying the final image from the intermediate transfer sheet There is a method of transferring an image to a body (transfer object).

Various methods have been used for image displays containing personal identification data, such as ID cards such as credit cards and members' cards, and passports, in order to prevent tampering and forgery. For example, a sheet called a transparent hologram (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
The falsification is prevented by applying a configuration in which a hologram image is recognized together with an image pattern.

[0007] Among the methods for imparting adhesiveness when an image is transferred from an intermediate transfer sheet to an image display (transfer-receiving member) as described above, the method using an image receiving / adhesive layer is based on a method using a thermal transfer ribbon on the image receiving / adhesive layer. Must be provided with both the function of receiving an image from the substrate and the function of bonding well when re-transferring the image to an image display (transferred object). When the type of the base material of the image display is changed, only the adhesiveness cannot be improved,
There is a problem that the image receiving balance of the image from the thermal transfer ribbon is affected. Therefore, image display (transfer object)
In this case, it was necessary to apply an adhesive primer layer in advance. In addition, when the adhesive layer transfer sheet is used, the material parts are different from those in the case where the above-mentioned image receiving layer and adhesive layer are used, in addition to the transfer ribbon, the intermediate transfer sheet, and the image display (transfer object). This increases the number of devices, making it difficult to reduce the size of the apparatus, and also increases the number of steps for forming an image, which takes time.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to provide an adhesive primer layer on an object to be transferred in advance, or to increase the number of material parts without using an adhesive layer transfer sheet. It is an object of the present invention to be able to perform image transfer with good adhesiveness in response to various types of base materials.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the invention of claim 1 is to provide a releasable protective layer provided on a support at least in a releasable manner;
In an intermediate transfer sheet for thermal transfer image recording having an image receiving layer provided on the peelable protective layer and capable of writing an image based on image data, the image can be transferred to a part to be transferred onto a part of the support. An intermediate transfer sheet having a special adhesive layer.

The invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that at least one security forgery prevention layer having a security property is provided between the release layer and the image receiving layer.
The intermediate transfer sheet described in the above.

Here, the forgery prevention layer having security properties includes, for example, a hologram forming layer having an uneven pattern and a transparent thin film layer provided along the uneven surface and having a higher refractive index than the hologram forming layer. Examples include a transparent hologram layer, a layer containing a fluorescent substance, a layer containing a compound that absorbs a specific infrared ray, and a layer containing a magnetic material.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, either a release layer or a release layer is provided between the partially provided adhesive layer and the support. Item 1 or 2
The intermediate transfer sheet according to any one of the above.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the image receiving layer portion and the adhesive layer portion are provided alternately in the longitudinal direction of the support. Of the intermediate transfer sheet.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the image receiving layer portion and the adhesive layer portion are provided in two rows in the longitudinal direction of the support. The intermediate transfer sheet described in (1).

<Function> Accordingly, the intermediate transfer sheet of the present invention comprises, on a support, a release layer + an image receiving layer portion A for receiving an image from a transfer ribbon and further retransferring the image to a transfer target, and an adhesive layer. From the adhesive layer portion B to transfer the adhesive layer to the transfer object, first, the adhesive layer is transferred from the adhesive layer portion B to the transfer object,
Thereafter, the image receiving layer portion A that has received the image is preferably transferred to a transfer receiving body, so that an image display having good adhesiveness can be formed. According to this method, the image receiving layer of the intermediate transfer sheet does not need to have a composite function such as an image receiving / adhesive layer, and there are few restrictions on materials. A good image receiving layer can be selected according to the conditions.

The case where only the adhesive layer is peeled off from the support for the portion B as described above is possible when the support and the adhesive layer are already a combination of materials having releasability from each other. In addition to the layer configuration of the portion B, other typical examples include a case in which a release layer and an adhesive layer are provided in this order on a support, or a release layer and an adhesive layer on a support. Are provided in this order. In the former case, the release layer and the adhesive layer are both separated from the support and transferred to the transfer object side, while in the latter case, the release layer remains on the support side and the adhesive layer is transferred to the transfer object side. .
By the way, depending on the material used, the release layer here may be completely left on the adhesive layer side during transfer,
Most parts remain on the adhesive layer side, and some parts remain on the support side. Also, depending on the material used, one release layer may remain completely on the support side during transfer, or most of the release layer may remain on the support side and a part of the release layer may remain on the adhesive layer side. There is also.

Further, as compared with the case where the adhesive layer transfer sheet is used separately, since the number of material parts is small, it is possible to form an image with a relatively simple apparatus. FIG. 3 shows a known image recording apparatus (JP-A-6-122184). The operation of the intermediate transfer sheet of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, for example, when using the intermediate transfer sheet 10 in which the portion A and the portion B are alternately provided as in claim 4, the first transfer portion 12 for transferring the image from the transfer ribbon 11 to the intermediate transfer sheet 10 is used. When an image is formed by an apparatus having a second transfer unit 14 for performing transfer from the intermediate transfer sheet 10 to the transfer object 13 and capable of continuously forming the transfer object 13, as described below, An image can be formed in substantially the same time and apparatus configuration as in the conventional case using a double-bonding layer. That is, the ribbon 11 is transferred to the first transfer unit 12 of the apparatus.
From the intermediate transfer sheet 10 to the image receiving layer portion of the intermediate transfer sheet 10,
The upper adhesive layer portion is transferred to the transfer member 13, and then the intermediate transfer sheet 10 is conveyed to re-transfer the image receiving layer on which the image has been transferred to the transfer member 13 on which the adhesive layer has been transferred. Is the way.

In the case where the portion A and the portion B are provided in a two-row band as in claim 5, for example, when the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 is used, the stage 15 can be moved back and forth. First, the adhesive layer is transferred by aligning the adhesive layer coated side of the two-row strip shape on the transfer target 13 (in the meantime, the intermediate medium (from the ribbon 11 in the first transfer unit 12). (It is also possible to transfer the image to the intermediate transfer sheet 10).) Then, the stage 15 is moved back and forth, the intermediate transfer sheet 10 is conveyed, and the image receiving layer portion on which the image is transferred by the first transfer unit 12 is covered. An image can be formed by a method of transferring an image receiving layer in accordance with the transfer body 13.

In this case, the stage 15 is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion, and two transfer members are set at the same time. One of the upper and lower portions is provided with an adhesive layer. On the other hand, the image-receiving layer on which the image has been formed is simultaneously transferred (in this case, a transfer member to which the image-receiving layer is to be transferred, the adhesive layer is previously transferred), and then the image-receiving layer is transferred. The transferred object was taken out as a finished product, and the transferred object on which the adhesive layer was transferred was rotated or replaced, and the upper and lower parts were exchanged. Can be set to continuously form an image.
