Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、複写することにより目視で認識される色と異なる色に変色する複写変色体と、このような複写変色体を備えた複写防止媒体に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、カラー複写機の技術的進歩により原稿に極めて近い複写物を得ることが可能となっているが、原稿と複写物との間に明瞭な相違が要求される場合もある。例えば、銀行券、株券、商品券等の金券、証明書、鑑定書、定期券、入場券、IDカード等の精巧な複写物がカラー複写機により入手可能になると、偽造や変造が容易なものとなってしまい、社会的に大きな問題となる。
【0003】
このようなカラー複写機による偽造や変造の防止という観点から、有価証券類等に銀インキやパールインキを用いた光沢印刷を施したり、ホログラムを形成したり、見る角度により色が変わる変色インキによる印刷を行う等して、カラー複写機により複写されたものを有価証券類と容易かつ確実に識別することが行われている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、有価証券類等の性質上、デザイン上の制約から上述のような偽造防止手段を採ることができない場合もあり、新規な偽造防止手段の開発が望まれている。
【0005】
また、上述のようなカラー複写機による偽造や変造の防止という観点とは別に、原稿と複写物との明瞭な相違、例えば、複写機による複写物の色を目視で認識される原稿の色と相違させることができれば、これを積極的に利用する用途展開が種々の分野において可能性となる。
【0006】
本発明は、上記のような実情に鑑みてなされたものであり、複写機による複写物の色が目視で認識される色と異なるような複写変色体と、このような複写変色体を備え複写による偽造、変造を防止できる新たな複写防止媒体を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
このような目的を達成するために、反射層と該反射層に積層された波長選択層とを備え、波長選択層は少なくとも微粒子を含有したバインダ樹脂で形成されたものであり、前記微粒子の平均一次粒子径は0.1〜15μmの範囲にあり、前記波長選択層における前記微粒子の含有量は20〜50重量%の範囲であり、前記波長選択層の厚みは3〜20μmの範囲であるような構成とした。
【0011】
さらに、本発明の複写変色体は、前記反射層と前記波長選択層との間に中間層を備えるような構成とした。
【0012】
本発明の複写防止媒体は、基材の少なくとも一方の面の一部乃至全面に上記のような複写変色体を反射層が基材側となるように備えたような構成とした。
【0013】
このような本発明では、複写機の光源から複写変色体に照射された光は、波長選択層のフィルター作用により、所定の一部の波長域の光のみが複写機の受光部に到達し、かつ、受光部に到達し得る光の波長域および強度は目視で複写変色体の色として認識される波長域および強度とは異なるものとなる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
複写変色体
図1は、本発明の複写変色体の一例を示す概略断面図である。図1において、本発明の複写変色体1は、反射層2と、この反射層2に積層された波長選択層3とを備えている。
【0015】
本発明の複写変色体1を構成する反射層2は光反射効率の高いものであればよく、真空蒸着法やスパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法等により形成された金属薄膜、金属化合物膜、セラミックス薄膜、金属箔、金属含有樹脂層、透明反射層等のいずれであってもよい。金属薄膜としては、アルミニウム、ニッケル、スズ、銀、白金等の金属を使用することができ、金属化合物膜としては硫化亜鉛等が使用でき、セラミックス薄膜としては、窒化チタン等が使用でき、厚みは300〜1,000Å程度が好ましい。金属箔は、アルミニウム、ニッケル、銀等を使用することができ、厚みは10〜150μm程度が好ましい。金属含有樹脂層は、アルミニウム、ニッケル、銀、ステンレス等の金属粉体を含有するインキを用いて形成することができ、厚みは10〜100μm程度が好ましい。また、透明反射層は、屈折率の高い公知の透明材料を用いて形成することができる。透明材料としては、例えば、Sn23 ,CdS,TiO2 ,Sb23 ,SiO,MgO,SiO2 ,LiF,AlF3 ,NaF等を挙げることができ、透明反射層の厚みは300〜1,000μm程度が好ましい。特に、反射層2として透明反射層を使用する場合、波長選択層3との屈折率の差を適宜設定することにより、複写変色体1の複写により現れる色を制御することができる。
【0016】
本発明の複写変色体1を構成する波長選択層3は、少なくとも微粒子を含有したバインダ樹脂で形成されたものである。使用する微粒子としては、マイクロシリカ、マイカ、タルク、炭酸カルシウム、水酸化アルミニウム、水酸化マグネシウム、酸化チタン、ガラスビーズ等の無機微粒子、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン、メラミン樹脂、ポリエチレン樹脂、ポリスチレン樹脂、アクリル樹脂、アクリロニトリル等の有機微粒子の1種または2種以上の組み合わせを使用することができる。このような微粒子の平均一次粒子径は0.1〜15μmの範囲が好ましく、平均一次粒子径が0.1μm未満もしくは、15μmを超えると、十分な波長選択効果が得られなくなる。
【0017】
また、波長選択層3を形成するバインダ樹脂は、従来公知の透明樹脂を使用することができ、例えば、塩化ビニル樹脂、酢酸ビニル樹脂、塩化ビニル−酢酸ビニル共重合体、ウレタン樹脂、メタクリル樹脂、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、ポリアクリロニトリル、ポリアミド、ポリエステル樹脂等、これらの共重合体等を単独もしくは混合したものの中から、使用する微粒子の屈折率、平均粒径等を考慮して適宜選択することができる。
【0018】
このような波長選択層3は、微粒子を20〜50重量%の範囲で含有することが好ましく、含有量が20重量%未満であると、微粒子による波長選択効果が得られず、複写後の変色現象が起こらない。また、50重量%を超えると、成膜が困難になると共に、波長選択層内での散乱が大きくなり、所望の反射光が得られず、複写変色体も複写物も白色となる。また、波長選択層3の厚みは、3〜20μmの範囲が好ましく、厚みが3μm未満であると、入射光は全波長域が反射してしまい、波長選択効果が得られず、変色されない。20μmを超えると、入射光が波長選択層内で散乱して反射光が得られなくなり、この場合も複写変色体及び複写物ともに白色となる。
【0019】
図2は、本発明の複写変色体1の複写時の状態を説明するものであり、図示しない複写機の光源から複写変色体1の波長選択層3に照射された光Lのうち、波長選択層3の作用により、波長選択層3の表面で受光部S方向に反射された光L1 と、波長選択層3を透過して反射層2で反射された後、再度波長選択層3を透過して受光部S方向に進む光L2 のみが受光部Sにより検出される。光L1 と光L2 以外の照射光Lは、波長選択層3の作用により、波長選択層3内の散乱を生じて吸収されたり、反射層2で反射されて受光部S方向以外の方向に進むことになり、受光部Sに到達することはない。そして、受光部Sに到達した光L1 と光L2 の合成光の波長域および強度は、複写変色体1の波長選択層3から直接人間の目に入る光の波長域および強度とは異なるので、複写変色体1を複写機で複写して得た複写物の色は、目視で認識される色と異なるものとなる。
【0020】
また、本発明の複写変色体1は、白黒の複写機、カラー複写機のいずれにおいても、複写物の色が目視で認識される色と異なるものとなる。
【0021】
ここで、本発明の複写変色体の目視で認識される色と複写物の色は、波長選択層の厚み、波長選択層が含有する微粒子の平均粒径、波長選択層における微粒子の含有量、波長選択層を構成するバインダ樹脂と微粒子の材質(透過率、屈折率)、反射層の材質(屈折率)、反射層の厚み等を適宜設定することによって制御可能である。
【0022】
尚、本発明の複写変色体1は、図3に示されるように、反射層2と波長選択層3との間に中間層4を備えるものでもよい。この場合の、中間層4は反射層2と波長選択層3との接着性を向上させるものであり、塩化ビニル樹脂、塩化ビニル−酢酸ビニル共重合体、ポリエステル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂等の各種熱可塑性樹脂などを単独もしくは混合して形成することができ、厚みは0.2〜2μm程度が好ましい。さらに、本発明の複写変色体は、波長選択層上に保護層を設けたものでもよい。この保護層は、表面に耐擦過性を付与し物理的強度を高めるもので、波長選択性を大きく損なわないものであれば特に限定されず、アクリル系樹脂や、各種熱硬化性樹脂、各種電離放射線硬化型樹脂等により形成することができ、厚みは1〜5μm程度が好ましい。
【0023】
上述のような本発明の複写変色体は、後述する本発明の複写防止媒体に用いることが可能であり、その他、隠し絵柄、隠し文字、機密情報印刷(複写することで可視化する)、複写表示(複写印を押さなくても、そのまま複写と表示されるようなもの)等の用途に使用することが可能である。
複写防止媒体
図4は本発明の複写防止媒体の一例を示す斜視図であり、図5は図4に示される複写防止媒体のA−A線における縦断面図である。図4および図5において、複写防止媒体11は、基材12と、この基材12の一方の面に設けられた複写変色体21とを備えている。
【0024】
複写防止媒体11を構成する基材12は、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレン、ポリエステル、ポリアミド等の樹脂フィルム、セラミックス基材、金属基材、紙、合成紙等の1種、または、2種以上からなる複合体から、複写防止媒体の用途に応じて適宜選択することができる。図示例では基材12の形状がカード形状となっているが、本発明の複写防止媒体はこれに限定されるものではなく、基材12の形状および厚みは、複写防止媒体11の用途等を考慮して適宜設定することができる。
【0025】
複写防止媒体11を構成する複写変色体21は、反射層22と波長選択層23との2層構造を有し、反射層22が基材12に固着されている。この複写変色体21は、反射層22と波長選択層23との間に中間層を備えるもの、波長選択層23上に保護層を備えるものであってもよく、いずれも上述のような本発明の複写変色体を用いることができ、ここでの説明は省略する。
【0026】
また、本発明の複写防止媒体11は、図6に示されるように、複写変色体21を基材12上に固着したり、基材12の表面を平滑にして、反射層22の機能をより高めるためのアンカー層13を備えるものでもよい。アンカー層13は、基材12の材質と複写変色体21の反射層22の材質とを考慮して、従来公知の接着材料から適宜選択して形成することができる。
【0027】
さらに、本発明の複写防止媒体11は、図7に示されるように、基材12上に所望の形状で形成された反射層22と、この反射層22を覆うように基材12の全面に形成された波長選択層23とを備えるものでもよい。この場合、反射層22と波長選択層23とが重なる領域が複写変色体21を構成することになる。
【0028】
尚、上述の複写防止媒体11は、基材12の一方の面に複写変色体21をストライプ状の備えるものであるが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、所望のパターン、文字、記号、数字等の形状で複写変色体21を備えるものでよく、また、基材12の両面に同一あるいは異なる形状の複写変色体21を備えるものでもよい。さらに、基材12の一方の面あるいは両面の全域に複写変色体21を備えるものでもよい。
【0029】
このような複写防止媒体11を複写機で複写した複写物は、複写変色体21を設けた箇所に相当する部位の色が、複写防止媒体11の複写変色体21の色とは異なるので、複写防止媒体11と複写物とを容易かつ確実に識別することができる。
【0030】
尚、本発明の複写防止媒体は、磁気記録層、ホログラム等を備えることも可能である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a copy color changing body that changes color to a color that is visually recognized by copying, and a copy preventing medium including such a copy color changing body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, it has become possible to obtain a copy that is very close to a manuscript due to technological advances in color copiers, but there are cases where a clear difference is required between the manuscript and the manuscript. For example, if fine copies such as banknotes, stock certificates, gift certificates, certificates, certificate, commuter pass, admission ticket, ID card, etc. can be obtained with color copiers, forgery and alteration are easy It becomes a big social problem.
[0003]

[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, due to the nature of securities and the like, there are cases where it is not possible to take the above-described forgery prevention means due to design restrictions, and the development of new forgery prevention means is desired.
[0005]
In addition to the above-described prevention of forgery and alteration by a color copying machine as described above, there is a clear difference between a manuscript and a copy, for example, the color of a manuscript that can visually recognize the color of the copy by a copier. If they can be made different, it is possible to develop applications that actively utilize them in various fields.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a copy discoloration body in which the color of a copy by a copying machine is different from a color visually recognized, and a copy provided with such a copy discoloration body. An object of the present invention is to provide a new copy-preventing medium that can prevent forgery and alteration by.

The configuration was
[0011]
Furthermore, the copy discoloration body of the present invention is configured to include an intermediate layer between the reflection layer and the wavelength selection layer.
[0012]
The copy-preventing medium of the present invention has a configuration in which the above-described copy discoloration body is provided on a part or the entire surface of at least one surface of the substrate so that the reflective layer is on the substrate side.
[0013]
In the present invention, the light emitted from the light source of the copying machine to the copy discoloration body is subjected to the filter action of the wavelength selection layer, so that only light in a predetermined wavelength region reaches the light receiving unit of the copying machine, In addition, the wavelength range and intensity of light that can reach the light receiving unit are different from the wavelength range and intensity that are visually recognized as the color of the copy discoloration body.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Copy discoloration body FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing an example of a copy discoloration body of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a copy color change body 1 according to the present invention includes a reflective layer 2 and a wavelength selection layer 3 laminated on the reflective layer 2.
[0015]
The reflection layer 2 constituting the copy discoloration body 1 of the present invention may be any one having a high light reflection efficiency, such as a metal thin film, a metal compound film, or a ceramic thin film formed by vacuum deposition, sputtering, ion plating, or the like. Any of a metal foil, a metal-containing resin layer, a transparent reflective layer, and the like may be used. Metals such as aluminum, nickel, tin, silver, and platinum can be used as the metal thin film. Zinc sulfide can be used as the metal compound film, and titanium nitride can be used as the ceramic thin film. About 300 to 1,000 cm is preferable. Aluminum, nickel, silver, etc. can be used for metal foil, and thickness is preferable about 10-150 micrometers. The metal-containing resin layer can be formed using an ink containing metal powder such as aluminum, nickel, silver, and stainless steel, and the thickness is preferably about 10 to 100 μm. The transparent reflective layer can be formed using a known transparent material having a high refractive index. Examples of the transparent material include Sn 2 S 3 , CdS, TiO 2 , Sb 2 O 3 , SiO, MgO, SiO 2 , LiF, AlF 3 , and NaF. The thickness of the transparent reflective layer is 300 to About 1,000 μm is preferable. In particular, when a transparent reflective layer is used as the reflective layer 2, it is possible to control the color that appears when the copy discoloration body 1 is copied by appropriately setting the difference in refractive index with the wavelength selection layer 3.
[0016]
The wavelength selection layer 3 constituting the copy discoloration body 1 of the present invention is formed of a binder resin containing at least fine particles. Fine particles used include inorganic fine particles such as microsilica, mica, talc, calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, titanium oxide, glass beads, polytetrafluoroethylene, melamine resin, polyethylene resin, polystyrene resin, acrylic resin One kind or a combination of two or more kinds of organic fine particles such as acrylonitrile can be used. The average primary particle size of such fine particles is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 15 μm. When the average primary particle size is less than 0.1 μm or exceeds 15 μm, a sufficient wavelength selection effect cannot be obtained.
[0017]
The binder resin forming the wavelength selection layer 3 can be a conventionally known transparent resin, such as a vinyl chloride resin, a vinyl acetate resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, a urethane resin, a methacrylic resin, It can be appropriately selected from polyvinylidene chloride, polyacrylonitrile, polyamide, polyester resin, and the like, such as copolymers thereof alone or in combination, taking into account the refractive index, average particle size, etc. of the fine particles used.
[0018]
Such a wavelength selection layer 3 preferably contains fine particles in the range of 20 to 50% by weight, and if the content is less than 20% by weight, the wavelength selection effect by the fine particles cannot be obtained, and discoloration after copying The phenomenon does not occur. On the other hand, if it exceeds 50% by weight, film formation becomes difficult, scattering in the wavelength selection layer increases, and desired reflected light cannot be obtained, and the copy discoloration and the copy are white. Further, the thickness of the wavelength selection layer 3 is preferably in the range of 3 to 20 μm, and if the thickness is less than 3 μm, the incident light is reflected in the entire wavelength region, the wavelength selection effect is not obtained, and the color is not changed. If it exceeds 20 μm, the incident light is scattered in the wavelength selection layer and no reflected light can be obtained. In this case as well, both the copy discoloration and the copy are white.
[0019]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a copying state of the copy color change body 1 according to the present invention. Of the light L irradiated to the wavelength selection layer 3 of the copy color change body 1 from a light source of a copying machine (not shown), wavelength selection is performed. By the action of the layer 3, the light L 1 reflected in the direction of the light receiving portion S on the surface of the wavelength selection layer 3 and the wavelength selection layer 3 are transmitted through the wavelength selection layer 3 and then reflected by the reflection layer 2, and then pass through the wavelength selection layer 3 again. Thus, only the light L 2 traveling in the direction of the light receiving portion S is detected by the light receiving portion S. Irradiation light L other than the light L 1 and the light L 2 is scattered and absorbed in the wavelength selection layer 3 by the action of the wavelength selection layer 3 or reflected by the reflection layer 2 in a direction other than the light receiving portion S direction. And the light receiving unit S is not reached. The wavelength range and intensity of the combined light of the light L 1 and the light L 2 reaching the light receiving unit S are different from the wavelength range and intensity of the light that directly enters the human eye from the wavelength selection layer 3 of the copy color change body 1. Therefore, the color of the copy obtained by copying the copy discoloration body 1 with the copying machine is different from the color recognized visually.
[0020]
Further, the copy discoloration body 1 of the present invention is different from the color visually recognized in both the black and white copying machine and the color copying machine.
[0021]
Here, the color recognized visually and the color of the copy of the copy discoloration body of the present invention are the thickness of the wavelength selection layer, the average particle size of the fine particles contained in the wavelength selection layer, the content of the fine particles in the wavelength selection layer, It can be controlled by appropriately setting the material (transmittance, refractive index) of the binder resin and fine particles constituting the wavelength selection layer, the material (refractive index) of the reflective layer, the thickness of the reflective layer, and the like.
[0022]
In addition, the copy discoloration body 1 of the present invention may include an intermediate layer 4 between the reflection layer 2 and the wavelength selection layer 3 as shown in FIG. In this case, the intermediate layer 4 is intended to improve the adhesion between the reflective layer 2 and the wavelength selection layer 3, and various thermoplastics such as vinyl chloride resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyester resin, and urethane resin.

【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, since the wavelength selective layer formed of a binder resin containing at least fine particles is laminated on the reflective layer to form a copy discoloration body, the copy discoloration body is irradiated from the light source of the copying machine. Due to the filter action of the wavelength selection layer, only a predetermined part of the light reaches the light receiving part of the copying machine, and the wavelength range and intensity of the light that can reach the light receiving part is directly from the copy discoloration body. Since the wavelength range and intensity of light entering the human eye are different, the color of the copy obtained by copying the copy discoloration body with the copying machine is different from the color recognized visually. In a copy-preventing medium in which such a copy discoloration body is provided so that the reflective layer is on the substrate side on a part or the entire surface of at least one surface of the substrate, the copy discoloration is reproduced in a copy copied by a copying machine. Since the color of the place where the body is provided is different, the copy prevention medium and the copy can be easily and reliably identified.
