なされるものである。2. Description of the Related Art An information recording medium having a diffraction grating pattern portion composed of a plurality of diffraction gratings on the surface of a substrate and performing optical mechanical reading has been proposed (for example, JP-A-3-211).
096 publication). This information recording medium is one in which fixed information is recorded by changing the spatial frequency of each diffraction grating, changing the direction of the diffraction grating, or a combination of both. Reproduction is performed by making laser light incident on the diffraction grating pattern portion at a predetermined angle and detecting where the laser light is diffracted.

供せられようとしている。In this technique, it is difficult to copy (counterfeit) the diffraction grating pattern portion, and the information can be reproduced by a machine. It is about to be put to practical use as a new authenticity determination that replaces the visual authenticity determination of a hologram on which characters are formed.

を再生してしまうことがあった。Such information reading is performed by moving the information pattern portion of the information recording medium and the laser beam relatively. However, when the laser light moves on the diffraction grating of the information pattern part and reads information, normal diffraction light can be detected, but when irradiated to other than the diffraction grating, it is reflected by the pattern printed on the base material. In some cases, light is generated, which is mistakenly detected as diffracted light to reproduce incorrect information.

デザインが規制されてしまう。In order to prevent the above-mentioned drawbacks, it is conceivable to coat the surface of the base material with black ink in advance, print a pattern on it, and then provide a diffraction grating pattern forming portion. However, when the above measures are taken, the pattern is printed on a black background, which makes color matching difficult,
The design is regulated.

半導体レーザーを使用できる。FIG. 4 shows an example of a method for optically and mechanically reading the information of the diffraction grating pattern portion. When a laser beam is irradiated as the irradiation light 8 from directly above the diffraction grating pattern portion 4, the diffracted light 9 is diffracted and returned in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the line of the diffraction grating. In the case of this reading method, information is recorded by changing the diffraction direction of the diffraction grating. For actual reading, a reading sensor 12 using a photodiode as shown in FIG. 5 is arranged at a predetermined position,
The diffracted light in the two directions of the A direction and the B direction can be detected. For example, the sensor 10 can receive the diffracted light in the A direction and the sensor 11 can receive the diffracted light in the B direction. As a reading laser, for example, a wavelength of 780 nm
Semiconductor lasers can be used.

を判別することが難しくなる。Analog output waveforms when the diffraction grating pattern portion is read are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is a waveform of the information recording medium having the infrared absorbing layer of the present invention. Since the infrared absorption layer absorbs light and prevents the generation of reflected light by the white base material or printing ink, a noise-free output waveform as shown in the figure is obtained. On the other hand, FIG. 7 shows an output waveform in a conventional information recording medium having no infrared absorption layer.
In this case, since the light is reflected (scattered) by the white base material or the printing ink, it becomes difficult to distinguish the diffracted light (output) from the diffraction grating and the reflected light.

Polyester was used. Next, an acrylic resin and a urethane resin are made into a paint, coated on a support film by a bar coating method, and dried to form a peelable protective layer and an embossed layer each having a thickness of 2 μm, and then unevenness of a diffraction grating is formed A diffraction grating pattern was formed by heating and pressing the nickel press plate against the embossed layer. After that, aluminum having a thickness of 500 Å was formed on the embossed layer by a vacuum vapor deposition method to form a reflective layer. Further, an adhesive containing an acrylic resin as a main component was applied to form an adhesive layer to obtain a transfer foil.
