Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the identification structure of an object which is generally circulated but is extremely difficult to forge and identifiable with high accuracy. SOLUTION: A polymer cholesteric liquid crystal with one type or two types of reflective wavelength is used as a security medium to be provided on an object. Consequently, it is possible to easily identify the genuineness of the object on account of the positively identifiable characteristics, stability and extreme difficulty to manufacture, and besides with high reliability. Thus the effects to prevent forgery from being committed can be enhanced. Further, as the polymer cholesteric liquid crystal is low-priced, there is no possibility that the manufacturing cost of the identification structure of the object may be increased.

In particular, visual (hologram) holograms that cannot be distinguished from genuine holograms have been produced. It is relatively easy to manufacture. Therefore, it cannot be denied that the forgery prevention effect of the hologram is low. Other anti-counterfeiting techniques are expensive and few are suitable for commonly distributed articles, and development of new anti-counterfeiting techniques has been desired.

In general, a cholesteric liquid crystal has a layered structure, and the molecular long axis directions in each layer are parallel to each other.
And it is parallel to the layer plane. In addition, each layer is rotated and overlapped little by little to form a three-dimensional spiral structure. Selective for circularly polarized light of wavelength λ represented by λ = n · p, based on the distance until this direction factor rotates 360 ° and returns to its original state, that is, the pitch p and the average refractive index n in each layer. It has the characteristic of reflecting light. Therefore, if the direction of the liquid crystal in each layer is counterclockwise with respect to the incident light, the left circularly polarized light of the wavelength λ component is reflected and the right circularly polarized light is transmitted. In addition, all light of other wavelengths is transmitted. For example, a cholesteric liquid crystal that reflects a red wavelength λ R is placed on a material such as black paper that absorbs visible light, and when random light such as sunlight is applied, all transmitted light is absorbed and the wavelength λ R Since only left circularly polarized light is reflected, the cholesteric liquid crystal looks bright red.

[0007] The cholesteric liquid crystal has a characteristic that the color changes depending on the viewing angle. This is because, assuming that the incident angle with respect to the liquid crystal surface is θ, the optical path difference reflected between the surface and the bottom surface of the liquid crystal, that is, between the pitches p is 2 pcos θ.
This optical path difference becomes equal to an integral multiple of the wavelength λ (2p · co
sθ = nλn is an integer), and the reflected light of both overlaps and strengthens. Therefore, as the incident angle becomes shallower, the constructive wavelength becomes shorter, that is, changes from red to blue.

The polymer cholesteric liquid crystal can be stabilized at a desired pitch by, for example, applying liquid crystal to a PET film, applying a temperature, and devising an electric field, a magnetic field, a pressure, and additives.

Since the optical characteristics of a hologram are determined by the distance between grooves on a plane, it is relatively easy to copy the hologram as long as the hologram has a processing technique. However, the optical characteristics of a polymer cholesteric liquid crystal are poor. Since it is determined by the three-dimensional molecular spacing, its production requires high know-how in materials and processing techniques, and it is difficult to duplicate. Therefore, by utilizing the above characteristics of the polymer cholesteric liquid crystal for identification for preventing forgery of cards, passports, securities, gift certificates, and the like, it is possible to improve the discriminating property and improve the forgery prevention effect.

As shown in FIG. 1, a foil 1 on which a polymer cholesteric liquid crystal having a predetermined pitch p is formed is put on a target object A such as a card, a passport, a security, a gift certificate or the like by a hot stamp method, for example. Paste one or more. Here, hot stamping is a method of transferring a decorative thin film to the surface of an object using instantaneous heat and pressure using an apparatus as shown in FIG. More specifically, the target A is set on the holder 61, and the hot stamping wheel 64 supplied from the supply roll 62 and wound on the take-up roll 63 is driven by an actuator such as a cylinder (not shown) and heated by the heating plate 65. The object A is pressed by the convex mold 66 heated by the above. The hot stamping foil 64 is generally formed by laminating a release layer, a protective layer, a metal thin film layer and an adhesive layer on a base film. When pressed, the pressure and heat form a protective layer and a polymer cholesteric liquid crystal from the base film. The metal thin film layer and the adhesive layer are released from the mold, transferred to the object, and form the foil 1.

When light is applied to this, since the color reflects the characteristics of the liquid crystal, its authenticity can be determined by visual or mechanical detection. However, even when ordinary ink is applied (printed), the same effect can be obtained to some extent, so that the incident angle of light with respect to the liquid crystal surface is gradually changed to be shallow, and it is preferable to identify the light by its color change. . As described above, the constructive wavelength of the reflected light continuously changes to the short-wave light side and changes the color of the reflected light, so that its authenticity can be reliably determined. Needless to say, the color (wavelength) of the reflected light cannot be obtained due to the change in the incident angle in the case where ordinary ink is applied.

When random light is incident on the foil 1 from directly above, for example, if the liquid crystal has a property of reflecting red light, the reflected light does not pass through the filter 2 but becomes dark, and the reflected light is recognized. However, when light is incident from a direction inclined by θ with respect to a direction orthogonal to the foil 1, the constructive wavelength is shortened (closer to blue), transmitted through the filter 3, and reflected light can be recognized. This may be visually recognized to determine the authenticity, or the authenticity may be determined by arranging a light receiving element or the like at a position corresponding to each of the above directions and detecting the received light intensity of the reflected light.

A foil 31 formed to form a design figure, character, or pattern is transferred or pasted so that a and 31b do not overlap each other. These liquid crystals have the same reflection wavelength, but the reflected circularly polarized components are opposite. That is, the liquid crystal 31a reflects the right circularly polarized component,
