Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stereoscopic recording medium that expresses a stereoscopic image.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various methods have been used to represent a solid on a sheet. For example, a heat-sensitive three-dimensional recording method using a thermoplastic material according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-34799,
A resistance ribbon type printing device and the like according to JP-A-62-246751 are known.

[0003]

However, such a conventional device has a drawback that a printing device such as a printer or a facsimile has to be special. That is, the heat-sensitive three-dimensional recording method using a thermoplastic material according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-34799 has a drawback that an exposure device must be provided. In addition, JP-A-6
The resistance ribbon type printing apparatus according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-246751 has a drawback that the printing apparatus needs to be changed.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems and does not require a special printer or a printer for a facsimile or a special device such as an exposure device. An object of the present invention is to provide a stereoscopic recording medium capable of recording a stereoscopic image by using an ordinary thermal transfer type printer or a printing device of a facsimile.

[0005]

In order to achieve this object, a three-dimensional recording medium of the present invention comprises a heating adhesive layer that produces an adhesive effect by applying heat, and a three-dimensional recording layer provided on the heating adhesive layer. A three-dimensional forming layer for forming a, a base body located on the surface opposite to the heating adhesive layer with the three-dimensional forming layer sandwiched, and for bonding the three-dimensional forming layer and the base body,
A weak adhesive layer having a weaker adhesive effect than the adhesive effect of the heating adhesive layer.

[0006]

In the three-dimensional recording medium of the present invention having the above-mentioned constitution, when the three-dimensional recording medium is placed on a support and heat is applied to a desired position of the three-dimensional recording medium with a thermal recording head or the like, a heating adhesive layer is formed. The heat-treated part produces an adhesive effect. Then, when the substrate is lifted, the adhesive force of the weak adhesive layer is weaker than that of the heating adhesive layer. Therefore, the portion of the three-dimensional forming layer that is in contact with the heated portion of the heating adhesive layer is on the support side. The other part is adhered to the substrate side and peeled off. And a solid is formed.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the stereoscopic recording medium of this embodiment.

The three-dimensional recording medium of this embodiment has a heating adhesive layer 2 which exerts an adhesive effect by applying heat, a three-dimensional forming layer 3 for forming a three-dimensional body, and a three-dimensional forming layer 3 which is located on the opposite side of the layer. And a weak adhesion layer 4 for adhering the three-dimensional formation layer 3 and the base 5 to each other.

The heating adhesive layer 2 is, for example, a mixture of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer and ethyl meta-hydroxybenzoate, the three-dimensional forming layer 3 is a resin having a low film property such as wax, acrylic resin, styrene resin, or a weak adhesive layer. 4 is a layer of silane coupling agent, and the substrate 5 is made of PET or paper.

Next, the operation will be described.

First, a three-dimensional recording medium is placed on a support 1 such as PET or paper, and heat is applied to a desired position of the three-dimensional recording medium by a thermal recording head 6 as shown in FIG. The heated part 7 has an adhesive effect.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, when the substrate 5 is lifted, the adhesive force of the weak adhesive layer 4 is weaker than that of the heat adhesive layer 2, so that the heat adhesive layer 2 of the three-dimensional forming layer 3 is removed. The portion 8 in contact with the heated portion remains on the support 1 side, and the other portion adheres to the base 5 side and is peeled off. Then, the solid 8 is formed.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a printer or a facsimile printing device without a special device or to prepare a special device such as an exposure device. It is possible to provide a stereoscopic recording medium capable of recording a stereoscopic image by using an ordinary thermal transfer type printer or a facsimile printing apparatus.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0016]

As is clear from the above description,
According to the present invention, a normal thermal transfer printer or facsimile printer can be used without specializing a printer or facsimile printer or preparing a special device such as an exposure device. Thus, it is possible to provide a stereoscopic recording medium capable of recording a stereoscopic image.
