Description

本発明は、ホログラム記録媒体に関し、特に、画素の集合からなる画像等のパターン記録体において、画素毎に体積型ホログラムからなり相互に異なる複数の体積型回折格子の中の何れかを割り当て、フルカラーパターンや見る方向、照明方向によって異なるパターンを記録再現可能にしたホログラム記録媒体に関する。   The present invention relates to a holographic recording medium, and in particular, in a pattern recording body such as an image made up of a set of pixels, any one of a plurality of volume type diffraction gratings each consisting of a volume type hologram is assigned to each pixel, and full color The present invention relates to a hologram recording medium that can record and reproduce different patterns depending on patterns, viewing directions, and illumination directions.

従来、クレジットカード、預金通帳、金券等に偽造防止手段としてホログラムシールや回折格子記録媒体が利用されている。また、ビデオテープや高級腕時計等の商品についても、海賊版が出回るのを防止するために、ホログラムシールや回折格子記録媒体が利用されている。この他、装飾用、販売促進用と言った目的にも、ホログラムシールや回折格子記録媒体が利用されている。   Conventionally, hologram seals and diffraction grating recording media have been used as counterfeit prevention means for credit cards, bankbooks, vouchers, and the like.

JP-A-6-337622 JP-A-8-21909

しかしながら、画素がレリーフ型回折格子からなる場合、回折効率が本質的に低いと言う問題があった。また、1個の画素に複数の異なる回折格子を多重化した場合、回折格子同士の相互作用により各回折格子の回折効率が低下し、再生されるパターンが暗くなってしまうと言う問題もあった。さらに、記録体を見る方向によって色は変化するが、記録されたパターンがそのまま見える角度範囲が広いと言う問題もあった。これは、特に、見る方向あるいは照明方向によって見えるパターンをシャープに切り換えたい場合に問題となる。   However, when the pixel is composed of a relief type diffraction grating, there is a problem that the diffraction efficiency is essentially low. In addition, when a plurality of different diffraction gratings are multiplexed on one pixel, there is a problem that the diffraction efficiency of each diffraction grating decreases due to the interaction between the diffraction gratings, and the reproduced pattern becomes dark. . Furthermore, although the color changes depending on the direction in which the recording material is viewed, there is a problem that the angle range in which the recorded pattern can be seen is wide. This becomes a problem particularly when it is desired to switch sharply the pattern that appears depending on the viewing direction or the illumination direction.

また、少なくとも一部の画素には、相互に異なる複数の体積型回折格子の中の2以上のものが多重に記録されていてもよい。   In addition, at least some of the plurality of different volume type diffraction gratings may be recorded in multiples on at least some of the pixels.

また、少なくとも一部の画素中の3分割された網点領域、あるいは、隣接する3つの画素に、赤を表現する体積型回折格子、緑を表現する体積型回折格子、及び、青を表現する体積型回折格子が割り当てられ、それらの体積型回折格子が占める面積比、又は、それらの体積型回折格子の回折効率の比を変えることにより色調及び階調が制御されているものであることが望ましい。   In addition, a volume type diffraction grating that expresses red, a volume type diffraction grating that expresses green, and blue are expressed in half-divided halftone dot regions in at least some of the pixels or adjacent three pixels.

Therefore, a recording medium capable of reproducing a bright pattern with high diffraction efficiency can be obtained. In addition, multiple patterns can be recorded without reducing the diffraction efficiency. Further, the color tone and gradation can be controlled by additive color mixture, and a full color pattern can be recorded and reproduced. Different patterns that can be switched sharply depending on the viewing direction and the illumination direction can be recorded and reproduced.

以下、本発明のホログラム記録媒体とその作製方法の原理と実施例について図面を参照にして説明する。   Hereinafter, the principle and examples of the hologram recording medium of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明によるホログラム記録媒体の構成を説明するための図であり、図1(a)はホログラム記録媒体1全体の平面図、図1(b)は図1(a)のホログラム記録媒体1の小円で囲った部分の拡大図、図1(c)は図1(b)の線C−C’に沿う断面図である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of a hologram recording medium according to the present invention. FIG. 1 (a) is a plan view of the entire hologram recording medium 1, and FIG. 1 (b) is a hologram recording of FIG. FIG. 1C is an enlarged view of a portion surrounded by a small circle of the medium 1, and FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC ′ of FIG.

ホログラム記録媒体1はフォトポリマー等の体積型ホログラム(リップマンホログラム)感材からなり、図1(a)に示すように、所望のカラーパターンが記録されている。このカラーパターンはフルカラーのパターンであり、後記する理由により発色する。また、見る方向により見えるパターンが変化するように、複数のカラーパターンが記録されていてもよい。そして、ホログラム記録媒体1は、図1(b)に示すように、その記録領域が微細なドット状の画素2に規則的な分割されている。この分割は、図の場合、碁盤の目状になされているが、必ずしもこの形状に限らず、俵積み形状等他の形状であってもよい。また、1画素2の形状も四角形に限らず、円形、三角形、六角形等であってもよい。   The hologram recording medium 1 is made of a volume hologram (Lippmann hologram) sensitive material such as a photopolymer, and a desired color pattern is recorded as shown in FIG. This color pattern is a full-color pattern and is colored for the reasons described later. Further, a plurality of color patterns may be recorded so that the visible pattern changes depending on the viewing direction. As shown in FIG. 1B, the recording area of the hologram recording medium 1 is regularly divided into fine dot-like pixels 2. In the case of the figure, this division is made in a grid pattern, but is not necessarily limited to this shape, and may be other shapes such as a stacked shape. Further, the shape of one pixel 2 is not limited to a square, and may be a circle, a triangle, a hexagon, or the like.

そして、各画素2には、図1(c)の断面に示すように、体積型の干渉縞3が記録されている。干渉縞3としては、通常、平面状の高屈折率領域と低屈折領域が空間的に交互に繰り返す形態をしており、一定のピッチで相互に平行に並んでいる。このような干渉縞を本願ではブラグ格子3と呼ぶことにする。図1(c)に隣接する4つの画素21 〜24 を示すが、これらは画素2がとり得るブラグ格子3の形態の説明のために模式的に示すものある。 Each pixel 2 has a volume type interference fringe 3 recorded thereon as shown in the cross section of FIG. The interference fringes 3 usually have a planar high-refractive index region and a low-refractive region that are alternately and spatially repeated, and are arranged in parallel with each other at a constant pitch. Such an interference fringe is referred to as a Bragg grating 3 in the present application. FIG. 1C shows four adjacent pixels 2 1 to 2 4, which are schematically shown for explaining the form of the Bragg grating 3 that the pixel 2 can take.

画素21 と22 のブラグ格子3は記録面に平行に形成されてなるものであり、画素21 と22 ではそのピッチ(格子間隔)が異なる。したがって、画素21 、22 何れの領域でも、入射光はブラグ格子3の格子面に対して入射角と回折角が等しい方向に回折されるが、ブラグ条件を満足する波長の光のみが回折されるため、同じ入射角の場合、画素21 で反射回折される波長と画素22 反射回折される波長とは異なる。そのため、所定の入射角に対して、例えば、画素21 で回折される波長を青領域に、画素22 で回折される波長を緑領域に、不図示の画素21 と22 とはピッチの異なるブラグ格子3が同様に記録面に平行に形成されてなる画素で回折される波長を赤領域に、それぞれ設定することにより、画素2の組み合わせにより、RGB三原色からなるカラーパターンを記録することができる。なお、色調及び階調のとり方は後で説明する。 The Bragg gratings 3 of the pixels 2 1 and 2 2 are formed in parallel with the recording surface, and the pitches (grating intervals) of the pixels 2 1 and 2 2 are different. Therefore, in any region of the pixels 2 1 and 2 2 , the incident light is diffracted in the same direction as the incident angle and the diffraction angle with respect to the grating surface of the Bragg grating 3, but only light having a wavelength satisfying the Bragg condition is diffracted. Therefore, in the case of the same incident angle, the wavelength reflected and diffracted by the pixel 2 1 is different from the wavelength reflected and diffracted by the pixel 2 2 . Therefore, for a predetermined incident angle, for example, the wavelength diffracted by the pixel 2 1 is in the blue region, the wavelength diffracted by the pixel 2 2 is in the green region, and the pixels 2 1 and 2 2 (not shown) are pitched. Similarly, a color pattern composed of the three primary colors of RGB is recorded by combining the pixels 2 by setting the wavelength diffracted by the pixels in which the Bragg gratings 3 of the same shape are formed in parallel to the recording surface in the red region. Can do. Note that how to obtain the color tone and gradation will be described later.

これに対して、画素23 と24 は格子間隔は同じであるが、格子面(干渉縞面)の傾きが異なる場合を示している。その傾き角と格子面の方向は自由にとり得る。ブラグ格子3においては、格子面に対して入射角と回折角が等しい方向に回折されるので、所定方向からの入射光に対して、これと異なる一定の観察方向においては、ブラグ格子3がブラグ条件を満足した角度のときのみその条件を満足する波長の光が観測できるので、照明方向が特定されている場合、画素23 と24 は同時には同じ色のものとしては観測できない。単色照明の場合は、見る方向に依存して、画素23 と24 は選択的に観察される。したがって、このような画素2の組み合わせにより、見る方向によって切り換わる複数のパターンを記録できる。なお、1つのブラグ格子3は入射角が異なると別の波長でブラグ条件を満足するので、白色照明の場合、照明方向に広がりがあれば、1つの画素23 又は24 は見る方向に依存して色が変化することになる。 On the other hand, the pixels 2 3 and 2 4 have the same lattice interval, but the inclination of the lattice plane (interference fringe plane) is different. The inclination angle and the direction of the lattice plane can be freely determined. Since the Bragg grating 3 is diffracted in the direction where the incident angle and the diffraction angle are the same with respect to the grating surface, the Bragg grating 3 has a Bragg grating 3 in a certain observation direction different from this for incident light from a predetermined direction. Since light having a wavelength that satisfies the condition can be observed only when the angle satisfies the condition, the pixels 2 3 and 2 4 cannot be observed as the same color at the same time when the illumination direction is specified. In the case of monochromatic illumination, the pixels 2 3 and 2 4 are selectively observed depending on the viewing direction. Therefore, a plurality of patterns that change depending on the viewing direction can be recorded by such a combination of the pixels 2. Since one Bragg grating 3 satisfies the Bragg condition at different wavelengths when the incident angles are different, in the case of white illumination, if the illumination direction has a spread, one pixel 2 3 or 2 4 depends on the viewing direction. The color will change.

このように、画素2に記録する干渉縞3のピッチと傾きを種々に選ぶことにより、回折方向及び回折波長を任意に選ぶことができる。したがって、画素2の位置に応じて干渉縞3のピッチと傾きを所定の組み合わせの中から選択することにより、見る方向により切り換わるカラーパターンを記録することができる。なお、1つの画素2中に異なる複数の干渉縞3を重畳記録して別々に回折再生させることもできるので、複数のカラーパターンを記録領域の制限なしに自由に重畳記録できる。   As described above, the diffraction direction and the diffraction wavelength can be arbitrarily selected by variously selecting the pitch and inclination of the interference fringes 3 recorded in the pixel 2. Therefore, by selecting the pitch and inclination of the interference fringes 3 from a predetermined combination according to the position of the pixel 2, it is possible to record a color pattern that changes depending on the viewing direction. Since a plurality of different interference fringes 3 can be superimposed and recorded in one pixel 2 and diffracted and reproduced separately, a plurality of color patterns can be freely superimposed and recorded without restriction of the recording area.

ところで、このような画素2の群からなるホログラム記録媒体1において、R(赤)、G(緑)、B(青)以外の中間色を任意の階調で表現するには、印刷の場合と同様、R、G、B網点の大きさ(面積)及びそれらの比を変えて階調、色調を変える方法がある。ここで、R、G、Bの網点としては、1つの画素を3分割する方式と、隣接する3つの画素の組を考え、その中の各画素をR、G、Bの何れかの網点に対応させる方式とがあるが、本質的には両者同じである。   By the way, in the hologram recording medium 1 composed of such a group of pixels 2, intermediate colors other than R (red), G (green), and B (blue) can be expressed with arbitrary gradation as in the case of printing. , R, G, B There is a method of changing the gradation and color tone by changing the size (area) of halftone dots and their ratio. Here, as a halftone dot of R, G, and B, a method of dividing one pixel into three and a set of three adjacent pixels are considered, and each pixel in the halftone dot is any one of R, G, and B. Although there is a method to correspond to the point, both are essentially the same.

図2は網点の面積比を変えて色調を変化させる面積階調の方法を説明するための図であり、図2(a)は、Rを表現する干渉縞3が記録された赤網点4Rと、Gを表現する干渉縞3が記録された緑網点4Gと、Bを表現する干渉縞3が記録された青網点4Bとの面積比が1:1:1の場合で、加法混色により白に見える。それを図2(b)に示すように、赤網点4R及び青網点4Bの面積を小さくしてその分緑網点4Gの面積を大きくして行くと、緑色に見えてき、その面積が相対的に大きくなるにつれて緑の階調が上がる。赤網点4R、緑網点4G、青網点4Bの面積比を制御することにより、任意の色調を任意の階調で表すことができる。   FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an area gradation method for changing the color tone by changing the area ratio of halftone dots. FIG. 2A is a red halftone dot on which interference fringes 3 representing R are recorded. 4R, when the area ratio of the green halftone dot 4G on which the interference fringe 3 representing G is recorded and the blue halftone dot 4B on which the interference fringe 3 representing B is recorded is 1: 1: 1. It looks white due to the color mixture. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the area of the red halftone dot 4R and the blue halftone dot 4B is reduced and the area of the green halftone dot 4G is increased accordingly, the area appears green. The green gradation increases as it becomes relatively larger. By controlling the area ratio of the red halftone dot 4R, the green halftone dot 4G, and the blue halftone dot 4B, an arbitrary color tone can be represented by an arbitrary gradation.

図3も網点の面積比を変えて色調を変化させる面積階調の方法を説明するための図であるが、この場合、図(a)の赤網点4R、緑網点4G、青網点4Bの面積比が1:1:1から、図(b)のように赤網点4Rと青網点4Bの面積をブランク5により削って小さくすることにより、緑網点4Gの面積を相対的に大きくしており、その割合が大きくなるにつれて緑色の階調が上がる。この方法は通常のカラー印刷の方法と同様であり、赤網点4R、緑網点4G、青網点4Bの面積比を制御することにより、任意の色調を任意の階調で表すことができる。   FIG. 3 is also a diagram for explaining an area gradation method for changing the color tone by changing the area ratio of halftone dots. In this case, the red halftone dot 4R, the green halftone dot 4G, and the blue halftone dot in FIG. Since the area ratio of the point 4B is 1: 1: 1, the area of the green halftone dot 4G is made relatively small by cutting the area of the red halftone dot 4R and the blue halftone dot 4B with the blank 5 as shown in FIG. The green gradation increases as the ratio increases. This method is the same as the normal color printing method. By controlling the area ratio of the red halftone dot 4R, the green halftone dot 4G, and the blue halftone dot 4B, an arbitrary color tone can be represented by an arbitrary gradation. .

図4は、面積階調ではなく、干渉縞3の回折効率を干渉縞3記録の際に任意の値に制御するようにして色調、階調を制御する濃度階調の方法を説明するための図であり、Rを表現する干渉縞3が記録された赤網点4Rと、Gを表現する干渉縞3が記録された緑網点4Gと、Bを表現する干渉縞3が記録された青網点4Bとの面積比は1:1:1のままであり、図4(a)の場合は、それぞれの網点4R、4G、4Bの干渉縞3の回折効率は100%に設定されており、加法混色により白に見える。それを図4(b)に示すように、赤網点4Rの回折効率を20%に下げ、青網点4Bの回折効率を80%に下げると、緑と青の中間色が得られる。このように、赤網点4R、緑網点4G、青網点4Bの回折効率を制御することにより、任意の色調を任意の階調で表すことができる。   FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a density gradation method for controlling the color tone and gradation by controlling the diffraction efficiency of the interference fringe 3 to an arbitrary value when recording the interference fringe 3 instead of the area gradation. It is a figure, the red halftone dot 4R where the interference fringe 3 expressing R is recorded, the green halftone dot 4G where the interference fringe 3 expressing G is recorded, and the blue where the interference fringe 3 expressing B is recorded The area ratio with the halftone dot 4B remains 1: 1: 1. In the case of FIG. 4A, the diffraction efficiency of the interference fringes 3 at the halftone dots 4R, 4G, and 4B is set to 100%. And appears white due to additive color mixing. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the diffraction efficiency of the red halftone dot 4R is lowered to 20% and the diffraction efficiency of the blue halftone dot 4B is lowered to 80%, an intermediate color between green and blue can be obtained. In this way, by controlling the diffraction efficiency of the red halftone dot 4R, the green halftone dot 4G, and the blue halftone dot 4B, an arbitrary color tone can be represented by an arbitrary gradation.

以上の面積階調と濃度階調の両方を併用することも可能である。なお、図4の延長であるが、1つの画素に赤を表現する干渉縞3と、緑を表現する干渉縞3と、青を表現する干渉縞3を多重記録し、その際、各干渉縞3の回折効率を制御することにより、任意の色調を任意の階調で表すようにすることもできる。   It is possible to use both the area gradation and density gradation in combination. Note that, as an extension of FIG. 4, the interference fringe 3 expressing red, the interference fringe 3 expressing green, and the interference fringe 3 expressing blue are multiplexed and recorded in one pixel. By controlling the diffraction efficiency 3, an arbitrary color tone can be expressed by an arbitrary gradation.

さて、以上のように画素2毎に格子面の間隔と傾きが異なるブラグ格子3を記録する方法、すなわち、本発明のホログラム記録媒体の作製方法について説明する。大きく分けると、計算機ホログラム(CGH)から複製する方法と、マスクパターンと傾いた平面鏡とを用いる方法と、反射方向が位置毎に異なる微細ミラー群を用いる方法と、ホログラム記録媒体に対して干渉する2光束を相対的に移動させながら記録する方法とがある。以下、順に説明する。   Now, a method for recording the Bragg grating 3 having different lattice plane intervals and inclinations for each pixel 2 as described above, that is, a method for producing the hologram recording medium of the present invention will be described. Broadly speaking, a method of replicating from a computer generated hologram (CGH), a method of using a mask pattern and a tilted plane mirror, a method of using a group of fine mirrors whose reflection directions differ for each position, and interference with the hologram recording medium There is a method of recording while relatively moving two light beams. Hereinafter, it demonstrates in order.

CGHから複製する方法としてはいくつか考えられるが、CGH自体は、所定のパターン領域のみに所定波長の光を所定方向に回折する干渉縞(回折格子)を計算機によって計算し、例えば電子線レジストを塗布したガラス等の基板上へ電子ビームによってその干渉縞を描画し、現像して、レリーフ型のCGHを作製する。同様にして異なるパターンで異なる干渉縞を有する複数のCGHを作製する。CGHとしては、反射型のものも透過型のものも作製できる。   There are several possible methods for replicating from CGH, but CGH itself calculates interference fringes (diffraction gratings) that diffract light of a predetermined wavelength in a predetermined direction only in a predetermined pattern region by a computer. The interference fringes are drawn on an applied glass substrate or the like by an electron beam and developed to produce a relief type CGH. Similarly, a plurality of CGHs having different patterns and different interference fringes are produced. As the CGH, a reflection type or a transmission type can be produced.

そして、第1の方法としては、図5(a)に示すように、反射型CGH6の上にフォトポリマー等の体積型ホログラム感材7を積層し、ホログラム感材7を通して所定の波長の再生照明光8をCGH6に入射させると、CGH6から1次回折光9が反射側に回折され、この回折光9と入射光8の干渉縞がホログラム感材7中に記録される。CGH6を別のパターンで別の干渉縞を有するものに交換して同じ体積型ホログラム感材7中で別の種類の干渉縞を記録させることにより、図1に示したように、同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体1が得られる。なお、図5(a)の配置において、CGH6とホログラム感材7の間に、入射光8及び1次回折光9と異なる角度で入射する高次回折光をカットする多層干渉膜からなるダイクロイックフィルター10を介在させて不要干渉縞の記録を防止するようにしてもよい。   As a first method, as shown in FIG. 5A, a volume hologram sensitive material 7 such as a photopolymer is laminated on the reflective CGH 6, and reproduction illumination with a predetermined wavelength is passed through the hologram sensitive material 7. When the light 8 is incident on the CGH 6, the first-order diffracted light 9 is diffracted from the CGH 6 to the reflection side, and interference fringes between the diffracted light 9 and the incident light 8 are recorded in the hologram sensitive material 7. By replacing the CGH 6 with another pattern having another interference fringe and recording another kind of interference fringe in the same volume hologram sensitive material 7, as shown in FIG. 1, the same volume type is obtained. Thus, the hologram recording medium 1 of the present invention on which a plurality of patterns composed of pixel groups on which the interference fringes 3 are recorded is obtained. In the arrangement of FIG. 5A, a dichroic filter 10 made of a multilayer interference film that cuts high-order diffracted light incident at a different angle from the incident light 8 and the first-order diffracted light 9 between the CGH 6 and the hologram sensitive material 7 is provided. It is also possible to prevent unnecessary interference fringes from being recorded.

別の方法としては、図5(b)に示すように、透過型CGH6’の上にフォトポリマー等の体積型ホログラム感材7を積層し、ホログラム感材7と反対側から所定の波長の再生照明光8をCGH6’に入射させると、CGH6’から1次回折光9が反対側に回折される。再生照明光8と反対側から参照光11を同時に入射させると、1次回折光9と参照光11がホログラム感材7中で干渉してその干渉縞が記録される。CGH6’を別のパターンで別の干渉縞を有するものに交換して同じ体積型ホログラム感材7中で別の種類の干渉縞を記録させることにより、図1と同様に同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体1が得られる。この場合も、CGH6’とホログラム感材7の間に、1次回折光9と異なる角度で入射する0次光及び高次回折光をカットするダイクロイックフィルター10を介在させて不要干渉縞の記録を防止するようにしてもよい。   As another method, as shown in FIG. 5B, a volume hologram sensitive material 7 such as a photopolymer is laminated on a transmission type CGH 6 ′, and reproduction of a predetermined wavelength from the opposite side of the hologram sensitive material 7 is performed. When the illumination light 8 is incident on the CGH 6 ′, the first-order diffracted light 9 is diffracted from the CGH 6 ′ to the opposite side. When the reference light 11 is simultaneously incident from the side opposite to the reproduction illumination light 8, the first-order diffracted light 9 and the reference light 11 interfere in the hologram sensitive material 7, and the interference fringes are recorded. By replacing CGH 6 'with another pattern having another interference fringe and recording another kind of interference fringe in the same volume hologram sensitive material 7, the same volume interference fringe as in FIG. Thus, the hologram recording medium 1 of the present invention on which a plurality of patterns composed of pixel groups on which 3 is recorded is recorded is obtained. Also in this case, recording of unnecessary interference fringes is prevented by interposing a dichroic filter 10 that cuts 0th-order light and higher-order diffracted light incident at different angles from the first-order diffracted light 9 between the CGH 6 'and the hologram sensitive material 7. You may do it.

さらに別の方法としては、図5(c)に示すように、透過型CGH6’の上にフォトポリマー等の体積型ホログラム感材7を積層し、ホログラム感材7と反対側から所定の波長の再生照明光8をCGH6’に入射させると、CGH6’から1次回折光9が反対側に回折されると共に0次光12が直通して、両光9、12が同じ方向からホログラム感材7中に入射して透過タイプの体積型干渉縞3が記録される。CGH6’を別のパターンで別の干渉縞を有するものに交換して同じ体積型ホログラム感材7中で別の種類の干渉縞を記録させることにより、同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体が得られる。ただし、この場合は、記録された体積型ホログラムは透過型であるので、照明側から記録されているパターンを見ることはできないので、図6に断面を示すように、ホログラム記録媒体1の裏面にアルミニウム等の反射層13を設け、反射タイプになるようにしなければならない。   As another method, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), a volume hologram sensitive material 7 such as a photopolymer is laminated on a transmission type CGH 6 ', and a predetermined wavelength from the opposite side of the hologram sensitive material 7 is laminated. When the reproduction illumination light 8 is incident on the CGH 6 ', the first-order diffracted light 9 is diffracted from the CGH 6' to the opposite side, and the 0th-order light 12 passes directly, so that both the lights 9 and 12 enter the hologram sensitive material 7 from the same direction. The transmission type volume interference fringes 3 are recorded. The same volume interference fringe 3 was recorded by replacing CGH 6 'with another pattern having another interference fringe and recording another kind of interference fringe in the same volume hologram sensitive material 7. The hologram recording medium of the present invention on which a plurality of patterns composed of pixel groups are recorded is obtained. However, in this case, since the recorded volume hologram is a transmission type, the recorded pattern cannot be seen from the illumination side. Therefore, as shown in the cross section of FIG. A reflective layer 13 made of aluminum or the like must be provided so as to be a reflective type.

マスクパターンと傾いた平面鏡とを用いる方法は、図7に示すように、記録すべき異なるパターンの開口を有する複数のマスク板14、14’を作製し、これと共に各マスク板14、14’に対応して異なる傾斜α1 、α2 を有する平面鏡15、15’を用意する。もちろん1枚の平面鏡を用いて傾き角をα1 とα2 に変えるようにしてもよい。そして、図7(a)に示すように、マスク板14と平面鏡15の間に体積型ホログラム感材7を配置し、マスク板14、ホログラム感材7及び平面鏡15を近接配置し、マスク板14の開口を通して全体に光を当てると、入射光と平面鏡15で反射され傾斜角α1 に応じて傾いている反射光とがホログラム感材7中で干渉してその干渉縞が記録される。マスク板14を別の開口パターンを有するマスク板14’に換え、図7(b)に示すように、マスク板14’、ホログラム感材7及び平面鏡15’を近接配置して、同じ体積型ホログラム感材7中に別の種類の干渉縞を記録させることにより、同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体が得られる。なお、マスク板14、14’としては、印刷の色分解工程で得られた3原色分解原画パターンを用いるのも有効である。 As shown in FIG. 7, a method using a mask pattern and a tilted plane mirror produces a plurality of mask plates 14 and 14 ′ having openings of different patterns to be recorded and, together with this, each mask plate 14 and 14 ′. Correspondingly, plane mirrors 15 and 15 ′ having different inclinations α 1 and α 2 are prepared. Of course, the tilt angle may be changed to α 1 and α 2 using a single plane mirror. Then, as shown in FIG. 7A, the volume hologram sensitive material 7 is arranged between the mask plate 14 and the plane mirror 15, and the mask plate 14, hologram sensitive material 7 and plane mirror 15 are arranged close to each other. When the light is applied to the whole through the aperture, the incident light and the reflected light reflected by the plane mirror 15 and inclined according to the inclination angle α 1 interfere in the hologram sensitive material 7 and the interference fringes are recorded. The mask plate 14 is replaced with a mask plate 14 ′ having another opening pattern, and as shown in FIG. 7B, the mask plate 14 ′, the hologram sensitive material 7, and the plane mirror 15 ′ are arranged close to each other, and the same volume hologram By recording another type of interference fringes in the photosensitive material 7, the hologram recording medium of the present invention in which a plurality of patterns composed of pixel groups in which the same volume interference fringes 3 are recorded is obtained. As the mask plates 14 and 14 ', it is also effective to use a three-primary color separation original image pattern obtained in a printing color separation process.

ところで、図7の方法の場合、平面鏡15、15’の傾きによりホログラム感材7と平面鏡15、15’の間の距離が大きくなりすぎ、マスク板14、14’の開口を通過した光とホログラム感材7を透過し平面鏡15、15’で反射された光とがホログラム感材7内で干渉せず、体積型干渉縞3が記録されない部分が発生する恐れがある。そこで、図7の方法の変形として、図8(a)に示すように、例えば略垂直に入射した光束21をそれに対して角度θをなして回折光22を反射方向に回折するオフアクシス反射型ホログラム23であって異なる角度θを有するものを複数枚用意し、図8(b)に示すように、マスク板14とこのオフアクシス反射型ホログラム23の間に体積型ホログラム感材7を近接配置し、マスク板14の開口を通して全体に光21を当てて1つの干渉縞を記録し、オフアクシス反射型ホログラム23を別の角度θのものに交換して別の干渉縞を記録することにより、図7の場合と同様にして、同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体を得ることができる。   By the way, in the case of the method of FIG. 7, the distance between the hologram sensitive material 7 and the plane mirrors 15 and 15 ′ becomes too large due to the inclination of the plane mirrors 15 and 15 ′, and the light passing through the openings of the mask plates 14 and 14 ′ and the hologram There is a possibility that a portion in which the volume interference fringe 3 is not recorded is generated because the light transmitted through the photosensitive material 7 and reflected by the plane mirrors 15 and 15 ′ does not interfere in the hologram photosensitive material 7. Therefore, as a modification of the method of FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 8A, for example, an off-axis reflection type that diffracts the diffracted light 22 in the reflection direction at an angle θ with respect to a light beam 21 incident substantially perpendicularly. A plurality of holograms 23 having different angles θ are prepared. As shown in FIG. 8B, the volume hologram sensitive material 7 is disposed between the mask plate 14 and the off-axis reflection hologram 23 in the vicinity. And recording one interference fringe by irradiating light 21 through the opening of the mask plate 14 and replacing the off-axis reflection hologram 23 with another angle θ to record another interference fringe, In the same manner as in FIG. 7, the hologram recording medium of the present invention in which a plurality of patterns composed of pixel groups in which the same volume interference fringes 3 are recorded can be obtained.

反射方向が位置毎に異なる微細ミラー群を用いる方法は、図9に示すように、反射方向が位置毎に異なる微細ミラー面16’の集合体からなる複合反射体16を用意し、その表面に体積型ホログラム感材7を近接配置し、ホログラム感材7側から平行光束17を入射させると、光束17はホログラム感材7を透過して複合反射体16の反射方向が異なる微細ミラー面16’1 、16’2 、16’3 で反射され、それぞれ異なる方向へ反射された反射光181 、182 、183 となる。この反射光181 、182 、183 と入射光171 、172 、173 がホログラム感材7中で干渉して位置毎に異なる干渉縞が記録される。したがって、同じ反射方向の微細ミラー面16’の群により所望のパターンを表現しておけば、同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体が得られる。なお、異なる複合反射体16を用いて1枚のホログラム感材7中に同様にして重畳記録することもできる。その場合、記録できるパターン及び色の数が増加する。また、図9の方法の場合も、反射方向が位置毎に異なる微細ミラー面16’の代わりに、回折方向が位置毎に異なる図8(a)のような微細なオフアクシス反射型ホログラム23を用いることができる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the method of using a group of micromirrors having different reflection directions for each position is prepared by preparing a composite reflector 16 composed of an assembly of fine mirror surfaces 16 ′ having different reflection directions for each position, When the volume hologram sensitive material 7 is disposed in the vicinity and a parallel light beam 17 is incident from the hologram sensitive material 7 side, the light beam 17 passes through the hologram sensitive material 7 and the reflection direction of the composite reflector 16 is different. The reflected light beams 18 1 , 18 2 , and 18 3 are reflected by 1 , 16 ′ 2 , and 16 ′ 3 and reflected in different directions. The reflected light 18 1 , 18 2 , 18 3 and the incident light 17 1 , 17 2 , 17 3 interfere with each other in the hologram sensitive material 7 and different interference fringes are recorded for each position. Accordingly, if a desired pattern is expressed by a group of fine mirror surfaces 16 'in the same reflection direction, the hologram recording of the present invention in which a plurality of patterns each composed of a pixel group on which the same volume interference fringe 3 is recorded is recorded. A medium is obtained. In addition, it is also possible to superimpose and record in a single hologram sensitive material 7 using different composite reflectors 16. In that case, the number of patterns and colors that can be recorded increases. In the case of the method of FIG. 9 as well, a fine off-axis reflection hologram 23 as shown in FIG. 8A having a different diffraction direction for each position is used instead of the fine mirror surface 16 ′ whose reflection direction is different for each position. Can be used.

また、ホログラム記録媒体に対して干渉する2光束を相対的に移動させながら記録する方法は、図10(a)に示すように、ある角度配置の体積型ホログラム感材7中の特定の画素位置で可干渉性の2つの細い光束19、20を所定の相対角度で交差させてその画素位置にそれら配置条件から導かれる体積型干渉縞3を記録し、別の画素位置では、図10(b)に示すように、ホログラム感材7の角度配置あるいは光束19、20の相対角度、又はそれら両者を変えてそれら配置条件から導かれる別の体積型干渉縞3を記録し、この動作を干渉縞3を記録する画素2全てについて順次行い、最終的に同一の体積型干渉縞3が記録された画素群からなるパターンが複数記録された本発明のホログラム記録媒体が得られる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), a method of recording while relatively moving the two light beams that interfere with the hologram recording medium is a specific pixel position in the volume hologram sensitive material 7 having a certain angular arrangement. Then, the two coherent thin light beams 19 and 20 are crossed at a predetermined relative angle, and the volume interference fringe 3 derived from these arrangement conditions is recorded at the pixel position. At another pixel position, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4B, another volume type interference fringe 3 derived from the arrangement conditions is recorded by changing the angular arrangement of the hologram sensitive material 7 or the relative angles of the light beams 19 and 20, or both, and this operation is recorded as the interference fringes. The hologram recording medium of the present invention is obtained in which a plurality of patterns composed of pixel groups in which the same volume type interference fringes 3 are finally recorded are recorded sequentially for all the pixels 2 that record 3.
