Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a decorative body presenting virtual images which presents enlarged virtual images of pixels above or below a plano-convex-lens-shaped condenser element layer. SOLUTION: The decorative body is constituted of the plano-convex-lens- shaped condenser element layer formed by lining up longitudinally and laterally a large number of plano-convex-lens-shaped condenser elements, a transparent base layer and a pixel layer formed by lining up longitudinally and laterally a large number of pixels. The size of each pixel becomes smaller as the pixel is disposed on another pixel line located farther from one pixel line selected as a basic pixel line. The plano-convex-lens-shaped condenser element layer and the pixel layer are disposed so that at least one set of the elements overlaps vertically in the most degree, that the other pixels at an equal distance from the overlapping pixels slip radially from the condenser elements corresponding to the other pixels, with respect to the overlapping pixel as the center, and that the width of slippage becomes larger as the pixels are located farther outside from the pixel being the center. The enlarged virtual images are presented above or below the plano-convex-lens-shaped condenser element layer.

The virtual image appearance decoration 1 according to the present embodiment is
As shown in FIG. 2, the same shape serving as a convex lens
A plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 formed by arranging a large number of plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting elements 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a transparent substrate 4 laminated under the plano-convex lens-shaped light-concentrating element layer 3 To form a gauze body having a line number less than that of the gauze body on which the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 laminated on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 is formed. And a plurality of circular pixels (hereinafter simply referred to as “pixels”) of the same shape, which are arranged vertically and horizontally at the same pitch as the pitch of the cells formed by the pixels.
The size (area) of 6 is farther from one pixel row 7 selected as a basic pixel row (hereinafter, this selected one pixel row is referred to as a “basic pixel row”: see a chain line in FIG. 1). A pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as the pixel 6 is arranged on another pixel column 8 which is farther away. The plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 and the pixel layer 9 ,
The plano-convex lens-shaped concentrator 2 and the pixel 6 have the top and bottom overlapping the plano-convex lens-shaped concentrator (hereinafter referred to as “reference concentrator”) 2 ′ and the pixel (hereinafter referred to as “reference pixel”) 6 ′.
The other pixels 6 which are stacked so as to have a set (see FIG. 1) and are equidistant from the reference pixel 6 ′ Are arranged radially outward with the same width centered at the center of the reference pixel 2 ', and are arranged such that the shift width becomes larger for pixels 6 outside the reference pixel 2'.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 in which a large number of plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting elements 2 having the same shape and the same size are arranged vertically and horizontally is formed by using a transparent ink having a good thickness. It can be easily obtained by printing one plano-convex lens in one square in units of squares formed by gauze lines A forming a gauze body on the surface of the transparent substrate 4 by screen printing.

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

As shown in FIG. 1, the pixel layer 9 has a line number less than the line number of the gauze body on which the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 is formed by using a personal computer by using an editing processing application. The size of each pixel 6 of the same shape, which is arranged in rows and columns as the same pitch as the pitch of the grid in units of grids formed by gauze lines forming a gauze body,
After obtaining image data having a pixel arrangement smaller as pixels 6 arranged on another pixel array 8 farther from the basic pixel array 7, the image data is transferred to a personal computer using an output processing application. Then, after performing arithmetic processing using an arithmetic processing application that converts the transferred image data into image data, the image data is transferred to an image setter, and is formed on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 by an automatic developing machine.

The pitch of a cell refers to a distance from an arbitrary position in the cell formed by a dashed line A shown in FIG. 3 to the same position as the arbitrary position of the cell which is vertically and horizontally adjacent to the cell.

The transparent substrate 4 may be made of a synthetic resin, and may be hard or soft. 1 mm to 5 mm thick for hard, 0.5 mm thick for soft
A 2mm one is suitable for handling, has a wide applicability as a commercial value, and is practical. Also, if you have transparency,
It may be colored. Specifically, a plate or a transparent film made of a transparent synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, polyester, acrylic, or polyvinyl chloride may be used. When the thickness of the transparent substrate 4 is more than 5.0 mm, an image appearing tends to be blurred and the color tends to be lighter. On the other hand, when the thickness is less than 0.5 mm, a flat print is felt and a virtual image tends not to be observed.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the virtual image appearance decoration 1 is viewed from above with each eye fixed and the virtual image appearance decoration 1 as shown in FIG. The other pixels 6 equidistant from the pixel 6 ′ are shifted radially outward from the plano-convex lenticular concentrator 2 corresponding to each pixel 6 with the same width around the reference pixel 2 ′, and Since the width shifted by the pixel 6 outside the reference pixel 2 ′ is larger, the image 11 (see FIG. 5A) viewed when viewed with the left eye 10 moves leftward when viewed with the right eye 12. (See FIG. 5 (b)).
Image 13 seen when viewed with (see FIG. 6 (a))
Shifts to the right (see FIG. 6 (b)) when viewed with the left eye 10, ie, the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 is moved from the top to the left eye 1.
Comparing the positional relationship between the enlarged image 11 of the pixel 6 seen only with 0 and the enlarged image 13 of the pixel 6 seen only with the right eye 12, the enlarged image appears so as to intersect with the eyes. Due to this image shift, an enlarged image of the pixel 6 appears above the virtual image appearance decoration 1, and the enlarged virtual image 14 of the pixel 6 becomes the reference pixel 6 ′.
Appears above (front) the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 with the center as the center.

It should be noted that the pixel 6 gradually shifts radially outward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped concentrator 2, so that the pixel 6 is formed at regular intervals from a set of the reference concentrator 2 'and the reference pixel 6'. Again, the pixel 6 and the plano-convex lenticular element 2 overlap the most, and the virtual image 14 is centered on the overlapped pixel 6 (reference pixel 6 ′) and the plano-convex lenticular element 2 (reference concentrator 2 ′).
Appears.

Therefore, when a large number of reference pixels 6 ′ and reference light-collecting elements 2 ′ are formed, pixels 6 arranged on another pixel row 8 farther from the basic pixel row 7 become smaller. Accordingly, the enlarged virtual image 14 of the pixel 6 centered on the reference pixel 6 ′ and the reference light-collecting element 2 ′ formed farther away from the basic pixel row 7 becomes smaller. (See FIG. 4B).

The pixel layer 9 in the present embodiment may be a film in which pixels are formed by photolithography, and can also be obtained by screen printing, offset printing, and relief printing.

The shape of the pixel 6 is not limited to a circle, but may be any shape such as a square, a star, a heart, a character, and a shadow.

Further, the transparent substrate 4 is not limited to a synthetic resin, but may be a glass plate.

Specifically, for example, a plano-convex lens-shaped light collector 2 is printed on a surface of a resin-made transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 1 mm with a gauze having 20 lines. Light collecting element layer 3

The pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as the pixel 6 is arranged on the other pixel column 8 farther from the column 7 may be formed. 3
The size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 20 ≦ line number <25 is arranged on the pixel line 8 farther from the basic pixel line 7 The pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller for the pixel 6 to be formed is connected to the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 made of a gauze having 30 lines.
The size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying ≦ number of lines <30 should be as large as the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel column 8 farther from the basic pixel column 7 For the pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller, the pitch of the grid of the number of lines of the gauze body satisfying 28 ≦ line number <35 for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of the gauze body of 35 lines A pixel layer 9 formed such that the size of the pixels 6 arranged at the same pitch becomes smaller as the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7 becomes The pixels 6 are arranged at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid of the line number of the gauze body satisfying 32 ≦ line number <40 for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3
The pixel layer 9 formed so that the size of the pixel 6 becomes smaller as the pixel 6 is arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7, For 3, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid of the gauze line number satisfying 36 ≦ line number <45 is set on the pixel column 8 farther from the basic pixel column 7. The pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as the pixels 6 are arranged,
For a plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 made of a gauze body with 50 lines
The size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 45 ≦ the number of lines <50 The size of the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther from the basic pixel row 7 The pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as compared with the case where the number of lines is 55 ≦ the number of lines <55 with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 having a 55-line gauze body.
The size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying the above condition is set to be smaller for the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7. The formed pixel layer 9 is aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the number of lines of the gauze body satisfying 50 ≦ number of lines <60 for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of the gauze body of 60 lines. A pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7
The pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as the pixel 6 disposed thereon is formed into a gauze body satisfying 55 ≦ line number <65 with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of a gauze body having 65 lines. The pixel layer 9 formed such that the size of the pixels 6 arranged at the same pitch as the pitch of the number of lines is smaller for the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7
And, for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of a gauze body having a line number of 70, the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the grid pitch of the line number of the gauze body satisfying 60 ≦ line number <70 The pixel layer 9 may be formed such that the size of the pixel 6 becomes smaller as the pixel 6 is arranged on the pixel column 8 farther away from the basic pixel column 7.

Further, for example, a plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 is printed on the surface of a resin-made transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 3 mm with a gauze having a line number of 15 by printing. When the layer 3 is formed, 13 ≦ line number <15 on the back surface of the resin transparent substrate 4.
The size of the pixels 6 arranged in a large number orderly at the same pitch as the pitch of the number of lines of the gauze body that satisfies the above condition is larger than that of the pixels 6 arranged on another pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7. What is necessary is just to create the pixel layer 9 formed so as to be small, and for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of a 20-line gauze body, the number of lines of the gauze body satisfying 15 ≦ line number <20 The pixel layer 9 formed so that the size of the pixels 6 arranged at the same pitch as the pixel 6 arranged on the pixel column 8 farther away from the basic pixel column 7 becomes smaller. For the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 made of a gauze body, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 18 ≦ line number <25 is the basic pixel column. The pixel formed on the pixel column 8 farther from the pixel 7 has a smaller size. The layer 9 is composed of pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the grid pitch of the line number of the gauze body satisfying 23 ≦ line number <30 for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of the gauze body of 30 lines. The pixel layer 9 formed so that the size of the pixel 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7 becomes smaller becomes a plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer composed of a gauze body having 35 lines. For 3, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 28 ≦ line number <35 is set on the pixel column 8 farther from the basic pixel column 7. A pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as the pixels 6 are arranged is connected to a gauze body line satisfying 30 ≦ line number <40 for a plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 made of a gauze body having 40 lines. The size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the number of cells is arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7. Pixels 6

For the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of a gauze body, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 40 ≦ line number <45 is the basic pixel column. The pixel layer 9 formed so as to become smaller as the pixel 6 is arranged on the pixel column 8 farther from the pixel line 7 and the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 made of a gauze body having a line number of 50 45 ≦ line number <

Since the width shifted by the pixel 6 outside the reference pixel 2 ′ is larger, the image 17 (see FIG. 10A) viewed when viewed with the left eye 10 moves rightward when viewed with the right eye 12. (See (b) of FIG. 10), and an image 18 (see (a) of FIG. 11) seen when viewed with the right eye 12.
11) is shifted leftward (see FIG. 11 (b)) when viewed with the left eye 10, that is, an enlarged image 17 of the pixel 6 which is visible when the virtual image appearance decoration 15 is viewed from above only with the left eye 10. And the pixel 6 visible when viewed only with the right eye 12
When the positional relationship with the enlarged image 18 is compared, the enlarged image appears shifted so that the eyes do not cross (FIG. 9A).
), The enlarged image of the pixel 6 appears below the virtual image appearing decorative body 15 due to the shift of the image, and the enlarged virtual image 19 of the pixel 6 is displayed.
Appears to sink below (inside) the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 about the reference pixel 6 ′.

It should be noted that the pixel 6 gradually shifts radially inward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 so that the pixel 6 is formed at regular intervals from a set of the reference condensing element 2 'and the reference pixel 6'. Again, the pixel 6 and the plano-convex lenticular element 2 overlap the most, and the virtual image 19 is centered on the overlapped pixel 6 (reference pixel 6 ′) and the plano-convex lenticular element 2 (reference concentrator 2 ′).
Appears.

Therefore, when a large number of reference pixels 6 ′ and reference light-collecting elements 2 ′ are formed, the pixels 6 arranged on another pixel row 8 farther from the basic pixel row 7 become smaller. Accordingly, the enlarged virtual image 19 of the pixel 6 centered on the reference pixel 6 ′ and the reference light-collecting element 2 ′ formed at a position farther away from the basic pixel row 7 becomes smaller. (See FIG. 9B).

For the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of a gauze body, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 65 <number of lines ≦ 70 is the basic pixel column. The pixel layer 9 may be formed so that the pixel 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther from the pixel 7 becomes smaller.

Further, for example, a plano-convex lens-shaped concentrator 2 is printed on a surface of a resin-made transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 3 mm with a gauze having a line number of 10 by printing. When the layer 3 is formed, a large number of pixels 6 are arranged neatly at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 10 <line number ≦ 14.

On the other hand, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid number of the gauze body satisfying 35 <number of lines ≦ 40 is arranged on the pixel column 8 farther from the basic pixel column 7. The pixel layer 9 formed so as to be smaller as the pixel 6 becomes smaller than the number of lines of the gauze body satisfying 40 <number of lines ≦ 45 with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 composed of the gauze body of 40 lines. The size of the pixels 6 arranged at the same pitch as the pitch of the cells is determined by the size of the pixels arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7. The pixel layer 9 formed so as to have a smaller size is used as the pitch of the grids of the number of lines of the gauze body satisfying 45 <number of lines ≦ 50 for the plano-convex lens-shaped light-collecting element layer 3 of the gauze body of 45 lines.

The pixel layer 9 may be formed so that the pixel 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther from the pixel 7 becomes smaller.

Next, for example, when a soft resin transparent substrate 4 having a thickness of 0.5 mm is used, when the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 is printed on a gauze having 70 lines, 70 <line number ≦ The size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid of the gauze body satisfying 115 is smaller for the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther away from the basic pixel row 7. In this case, the pixel layer 9 may be formed on the transparent substrate 4 made of a soft resin having a thickness of 1 mm.
In the case of printing with a gauze body, the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pitch of the grid of the gauze line number satisfying 35 <number of lines ≦ 43 is farther away from the basic pixel row 7. The pixel layer 9 may be formed so as to be smaller than the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel column 8.

The pixel layer 9 may be formed so as to be smaller as the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel row 8 farther from the pixel row 7. If the transparent substrate 4 made of a hard resin having a thickness of 3.0 mm is used, a plano-convex lens is formed. When the shape concentrator 2 is printed on a gauze body having a number of lines of 25, the number of lines of the grid of the gauze body satisfying 25 <number of lines ≦ 31 A pixel layer 9 formed so that the size of the pixels 6 aligned at the same pitch as the pixel 6 becomes smaller as the pixels 6 arranged on the pixel array 8 farther away from the basic pixel array 7, If a hard resin transparent substrate 4 having a thickness of 5.0 mm is used, a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 is formed.
