Definitions
- the present invention relates to a display body, a booklet, an ID card, a display body manufacturing method, and a display body manufacturing apparatus.
- a display body used for authenticating an individual such as a passport or an ID card has information associated with the owner of the display body, for example, a face image.
- the face image of the owner is formed on a base material included in the display body using, for example, an intermediate transfer method.
- the intermediate transfer method first, the face image of the owner is printed on the image receiving layer of the transfer foil using ink, and then the face image on the image receiving layer is transferred together with the image receiving layer to the substrate to be transferred. .
- an owner's face image is given to a display object (for example, refer to patent documents 1).
- the display body described above may be altered by the following method. That is, after the image receiving layer is peeled off from the base material together with the ink constituting the face image, the ink is removed from the image receiving layer. Then, when a fake face image is printed on the image receiving layer after the ink is removed, the image receiving layer is attached to the substrate again. Accordingly, since the display body is modified, it is required to suppress such modification of the display body.
- Such a problem is not limited to a display body manufactured using the intermediate transfer method, but is common to a method for manufacturing a display body manufactured using a method of printing an image directly on a base material included in the display body. ing.
- the present invention has an object to provide a display body, a booklet, an ID card, a display body manufacturing method, and a display body manufacturing apparatus capable of suppressing alteration.
- a display body for solving the above-mentioned problems is a surface to be observed and a first image pattern covered with the surface, and one or more pieces of first information for specifying the owner of the display body
- a first image pattern that displays a first image including an element through the surface and a second image pattern that is covered with the surface and in which one or more second information elements are embedded. Discrimination is limited by a part of the second image pattern, and the second image pattern is different from the first image and has a second image for specifying the owner of the display body;
- a concealment pattern that is located between the second image pattern and the surface, and that conceals the part of the second image pattern, thereby releasing the restriction of the discrimination of the second information element.
- An ID card for solving the above problems includes the display body. According to the above configuration, the state in which the determination of the second information element embedded in the second image pattern is restricted due to the concealment pattern concealing a part of the second image pattern is released. Therefore, the display body can be prevented from being altered as compared with the configuration in which the second information element is in a state that can be discriminated only by the second image pattern.
- the display body may further include a diffractive portion having irregularities that is located between the concealment pattern and the surface and is configured to emit diffracted light. According to the above configuration, it is more difficult to modify the display body as much as the display body includes the diffraction portion. As a result, alteration of the display body is further suppressed.
- the diffractive portion may cover at least a part of at least one of the first image pattern and the concealment pattern in a plan view facing the surface.
- the concealment pattern may be formed of metal. According to the above configuration, the concealing pattern can be formed by etching the metal film.
- At least one of the first image pattern and the second image pattern may include a superposed dot in which a plurality of print dots are overlapped.
- the dot-on-dot method which is one of the printing methods, it is possible to form overlapping dots in which a plurality of printing dots are overlapped.
- the print dots constituting the image pattern It is possible to determine whether or not the display body has been altered by the shape.
- the concealment pattern may include a plurality of concealment portions having a dot shape or a line shape, and the concealment portions may be arranged at equal intervals in the arrangement direction.
- the concealing portions having the same shape are arranged at equal intervals in one direction. Therefore, it is easier to form a concealment pattern than when the concealing part has a random shape or when the concealing part is arranged at random.
- the display body further includes a first sheet and a second sheet for verification different from the first sheet, and the first image pattern and the second image pattern are provided in the first sheet.
- the concealment pattern is provided in the second sheet, and the second sheet includes a first position for the concealment pattern to conceal a part of the second image pattern, and concealment by the concealment pattern. It may be displaceable between the second position for release.
- the state of the second information element embedded in the second image pattern is limited by changing the position of the second sheet between the first position and the second position, and the second The state of the second information element can be changed between the state where the determination of the information element is limited.
- a method of manufacturing a display body for solving the above problem is to generate print information indicating positions of a plurality of print dots according to a position of a concealment pattern for concealing a part of the plurality of print dots, Forming the plurality of print dots on a surface to be printed based on the print information; and displaying a display body in which a part of the plurality of print dots is concealed by the concealment pattern, the concealment pattern and the print dot Manufacturing by superimposing.
- the printing information is generated when the part of the plurality of printing dots on the display body and the concealment pattern overlap in the plan view facing the surface, and the concealment pattern is not present. Generating information related to the position of each print dot in accordance with the position of the concealment pattern so that an image having a color tone different from the image displayed by the print dot is displayed.
- An apparatus for manufacturing a display body for solving the above-described problem is an information generation unit that generates print information indicating positions of a plurality of print dots in accordance with a position of a concealment pattern for concealing a part of the plurality of print dots.
- a forming unit that forms the plurality of print dots on a surface to be printed based on the print information; and the concealment pattern and the print dot so that a part of the plurality of print dots is concealed by the concealment pattern.
- a superimposing unit that superimposes.
- the information generating unit overlaps a part of the plurality of print dots in the print target and the concealment pattern, and the plurality of print dots are not present when there is no concealment pattern.
- Information on the position of each print dot is generated according to the position of the concealment pattern so that an image having a color tone different from that of the image to be displayed is displayed.
- the color tone of the image displayed by overlapping a part of the plurality of print dots and the concealment pattern is different from the image displayed by only the plurality of print dots. Therefore, an image having the same color tone as the image having the color tone displayed by the display body cannot be displayed unless both the position of the print dot and the position of the concealment pattern are set to the same state as the genuine display body. Therefore, it is difficult to modify the display body as compared to a display body that displays an image having a predetermined color tone by using only a plurality of printing dots. Thereby, the alteration of the display body can be suppressed.
- the plurality of print dots include at least a plurality of print dots of a first color and a plurality of print dots of a second color, and generating the print information is opposed to the surface.
- the plurality of print dots of the first color among the plurality of print dots on the display body and the concealment pattern overlap with each other, and thus when the concealment pattern is not present, It may include generating information related to the position of each print dot in accordance with the position of the concealment pattern so that an image having a color tone different from the image displayed by the print dot is displayed.
- the printing dots of only one color overlaps the concealment pattern in the printing dots of two or more colors. Therefore, in the color tone of the image displayed by such overlapping, the image displayed only by the printing dots is displayed. Hue is different from hue. Therefore, in the color tone expressed by the overlap of the printing dots and the concealment pattern, the same color tone as the genuine display body is obtained by modifying the display body, compared to the configuration in which only the brightness is different from the image displayed only by the printing dots. It becomes more difficult to express. As a result, the alteration of the display body can be further suppressed.
- the print dot includes a first print dot for displaying a first image and a second print dot for displaying a second image, and generating the print information
- a plan view facing the surface a part of the first print dots on the display body and the concealment pattern overlap, and an image displayed by the print dots when there is no print pattern has a color tone.
- the second image having a color tone different from an image displayed only by the print dots when a part of the two print dots overlaps the concealment pattern and there is no concealment pattern.
- To display and may include generating information about the position of the respective second printing dots in accordance with the position of the hidden pattern.
- the display body displays an image having a color tone different from that of the image displayed only by the print dots. Therefore, it is more difficult to modify the display body than the configuration in which the display body expresses only one image having a color tone different from the image displayed only by the print dots, and thus the display body can be further prevented from being altered.
- the display body is a medium for authenticating an owner of the display body, and the generation of the print information is performed in the display body in a plan view facing the surface.
- the portion of the plurality of print dots and the concealment pattern overlap with each other, and when there is no concealment pattern, the image displayed by the plurality of print dots is different in color tone, and is an image relating to the owner Generating information related to the position of each print dot in accordance with the position of the concealment pattern.
- the information regarding the owner cannot be displayed unless both the position of the printing dot and the position of the concealment pattern are set to the same state as the genuine display body. Therefore, even if the display body is altered, it is easily determined whether or not the display body is a fake display body that has been altered depending on whether or not the display body displays information about the owner.
- an image displayed only by the plurality of print dots when there is no concealment pattern includes the face image of the owner and a background image positioned around the face image, and the concealment
- the printed dots that overlap the pattern may form part of the background image.
- the print dots that overlap the concealment pattern are part of the background image in the image displayed only by the print dots, and therefore, when the display body is modified, it is easily removed from the display body together with the face image included in the display body. . Once the print dots are removed, it is difficult to display an image displayed by the overlap of the concealment pattern and the print dots unless the position of the print dot and the position of the concealment pattern are the same as the authentic display body. . Therefore, the display body can be prevented from being altered.

Abstract
Description
上記課題を解決するためのIDカードは、上記表示体を備える。
上記構成によれば、第2画像パターンの一部を隠蔽パターンが隠蔽することによって第2画像パターンに埋め込まれた第2情報要素の判別が制限された状態が解除される。そのため、第2情報要素が、第2画像パターンのみによって判別可能な状態である構成と比べて、表示体の変造が抑えられる。
印刷方式の1つであるドットオンドット方式では、複数の印刷ドットが重なった重畳ドットを形成することができる。上記構成によれば、第1画像パターンおよび第2画像パターンのうち、重畳ドットを含む画像パターンが、ドットオンドット方式とは異なる印刷方式で形成されたときに、画像パターンを構成する印刷ドットの形状によって、表示体が変造されたか否かを判断することが可能である。
図1から図17を参照して、表示体、冊子、IDカード、表示体の製造方法、表示体の製造装置の第1実施形態を説明する。以下では、表示体の構成、表示体の製造装置の一例である中間転写装置の構成、表示体の製造方法、および、実施例を順に説明する。
図1および図2を参照して、表示体の製造方法によって製造される表示体の構成を説明する。以下では、表示体の一例として、表示体がパスポートの1頁およびIDカードなどの個人認証媒体として具体化された例を説明する。
パターン層22は光透過性を有した接着部22cを含んでいる。接着部22cは、第1印刷パターン22aと第2印刷パターン22bとを覆う層状を有している。接着部22cは、各印刷ドット22a1,22b1に対する受像層として機能する層であり、かつ、パターン層22、隠蔽層23、および、保護層24を基材21に接着するための層でもある。
図3および図4を参照して、中間転写装置の概略構成を説明する。中間転写装置は、情報生成部、形成部、および、重畳部を備えている。情報生成部は、複数の印刷ドット22a1の位置を示す印刷情報を複数の印刷ドット22a1の一部を隠蔽するための隠蔽パターン23aの位置に準じて生成する。形成部は、印刷情報に基づいて印刷対象の表面に複数の印刷ドット22a1を形成する。重畳部は、複数の印刷ドット22a1の一部が隠蔽パターン23aに隠蔽されるように隠蔽パターン23aと印刷ドット22a1とを重ね合わせる。
図4が示すように、中間転写装置30は、上述した各部に加えて、これら各部の動作を制御する制御部36を備えている。制御部36は、CPU、ROM、および、RAMなどから構成され、機能的な構成として、情報生成部36a、形成制御部36b、リボン搬送制御部36c、転写箔搬送制御部36d、転写制御部36e、および、記憶部36fを備えている。
図5から図10を参照して、表示体10の製造方法を説明する。本実施形態では、表示体10の製造方法のうち、上述した中間転写装置30において行われる処理について詳しく説明する。
なお、こうした隠蔽パターン23aは、上述したようにアルミニウムから形成されることが好ましい。これにより、表示体10の製造方法は、中間転写装置30にて行われる処理よりも前の処理であって、隠蔽パターン23aを形成するためのアルミニウム膜をパターニングすることによって隠蔽パターン23aを形成する工程を含むことができる。隠蔽パターン23aを形成する工程では、隠蔽パターン23aが受像層における上述した画素位置に投影されるようにアルミニウム膜がパターニングされる。こうした工程によれば、アルミニウムから形成され、かつ、所定のパターンを有した隠蔽パターン23aを形成することができる。
図11から図17を参照して、表示体10の作用を説明する。
図11が示すように、情報生成部36aが生成した印刷情報に基づき、印刷情報に従う第1印刷パターン22aが形成されると、関連画像11bと背景画像11cとが表示され、各画像は他の画像とは異なる色調を有した画像として表示される。
基材、剥離層、隠蔽層、および、受像層を有する中間転写箔を準備した。隠蔽層において、受像層のなかで第2ドット群が形成される位置および第3ドット群が形成される位置と、中間転写箔の厚さ方向から見て重なる位置に、予め隠蔽パターンを形成した。なお、隠蔽パターンを構成する複数の隠蔽部を、X方向に対して45°で交差し、かつ、隠蔽部の延びる方向と直交する方向に沿って等間隔で並ぶように形成した。なお、隠蔽部における幅、すなわちY方向に沿う幅を80μmに設定し、Y方向において互いに隣り合う隠蔽部間の距離を160μmに設定した。これにより、隠蔽パターンにおけるピッチを240μmに設定した。
(1‐1)2色以上の印刷ドット22a1において、1色のみの印刷ドット22a1における少なくとも一部が隠蔽パターン23aと重なるため、こうした重なりによって表示される画像の色調では、印刷ドット22a1のみが表示する画像の色調に対して色相が異なる。それゆえに、印刷ドット22a1と隠蔽パターン23aとの重なりによって表現される色調において、印刷ドット22a1のみが表示する画像に対して明度のみが異なる構成と比べて、表示体10の変造によって真正の表示体10と同じ色調を表現させることがより難しくなる。結果として、表示体10の変造をより抑えることができる。
なお、上述した第1実施形態は、以下のように適宜変更して実施することもできる。

まず、パスポート用の冊子として、表紙カバー、データページ、および、VISAページを備える冊子を準備した。データページは、パスポートの所有者に関する情報、および、顔画像が記録されるページであり、データページとして、紙製の基材と易接着層とから構成されるページを準備した。
(2‐1)第2画像パターン123bの一部を隠蔽パターン124aが隠蔽することによって第2画像パターン123bに埋め込まれた第2情報要素の判別が制限された状態が解除される。そのため、こうした第2情報要素が、第2画像パターン123bのみによって判別可能な状態である構成と比べて、表示体10の変造が抑えられる。
(2‐3)表示体10が回折部125aを備える分だけ、より表示体10の変造が難しくなる。ひいては、表示体10の変造がより抑えられる。
なお、上述した第2実施形態は、以下のように適宜変更して実施することができる。
・表示体10が有する回折部125aの数は、上述した2に限らず、3以上であってもよいし、1でもよい。また、1つの回折部125aは、表示体10の表面10aと対向する平面視において、2つの画像パターンの両方と重なってもよい。
・表示体10は、パスポート150およびIDカード160だけでなく、これら以外の個人認証媒体に適用することも可能である。
図33から図36を参照して、表示体、冊子、IDカード、表示体の製造方法、および、表示体の製造装置の第3実施形態を説明する。第3実施形態の表示体は、第2実施形態の表示体と比べて、第2画像パターンと隠蔽パターンとが同一のシートに含まれない点が異なっている。そのため以下では、こうした相違点を詳しく説明し、第2実施形態と共通する構成には同じ符号を付すことによって、その詳しい説明を省略する。また、以下では、表示体の構成、および、表示体の適用例であるパスポートの構成を順に説明する。
図33および図34を参照して、表示体の構成を説明する。
図33が示すように、表示体170は、情報シート171と検証シート172とを備えている。情報シート171は第1シートの一例であり、検証シート172は第2シートの一例である。情報シート171は、観察対象である表面171Fを備え、表面171Fと対向する平面視において、文字認証用画像12、顔画像11a、および、背景画像11cを、表面171Fを通じて表示している。ただし、情報シート171が表示する背景画像11cは、第2画像パターン123bのみによって形成される画像であり、関連画像11bに含まれる第2情報要素が埋め込まれた潜像領域11c1を含む点で、第2実施形態の表示体10が表示する画像とは異なっている。
図35および図36を参照して、パスポートの構成を説明する。
図35が示すように、パスポート190は、表示体170を備える冊子の一例である。パスポート190は、情報シート171を支持する基材191と検証シート172とを互いに隣り合うページとして有し、基材191と検証シート172とは1つの冊子を構成するように互いに綴じられている。
これに対して、図36が示すように、情報シート171に検証シート172が重ねられることによって、潜像領域11c1に隠蔽パターン172aが重なると、第2画像パターン123bのなかで、潜像領域11c1を構成する複数の印刷ドット123b1の一部が、隠蔽パターン172aによって隠蔽される。これにより、第2画像パターン123bと隠蔽パターン172aとが、関連画像11bを形成する。このように、情報シート171は、検証シート172が重ねられることによって、所有者に関する情報であって、文字認証用画像12に含まれる第2情報要素を含む関連画像11bを表示することが可能である。
個人認証媒体をパスポートに適用した実施例3を説明する。
まず、パスポート用の冊子として、上述した実施例2と同様の冊子を準備した。次いで、パスポートプリンタ(実施例2と同じ)を用いて、文字認証用画像を表示する第1画像パターンと、潜像領域を含む背景画像を表示するための第2画像パターンとを以下の方法によって、データページに形成した。
(3‐3)検証シート172を介して情報シート171が観察されるときに、回折部182aの射出する回折光によって形成される回折像が、関連画像11bと重なるように視認されるため、検証シート172と情報シート171とにより形成される画像の意匠性が高まる。
なお、上述した第3実施形態は以下のように適宜変更して実施することができる。
・表示体170がパスポート190に適用されるとき、情報シート171と検証シート172とは互いに綴じられていなくてもよい。すなわち、パスポートにおいて、情報シート171と検証シート172とは互いから離れたシートとして具体化されてもよい。
・表示体170は、パスポート190だけでなく、上述したIDカードに適用することが可能である。また、IDカード以外の個人認証媒体に適用することも可能である。
図1、図2、および、図37から図44を参照して、表示体、冊子、IDカード、表示体の製造方法、および、表示体の製造装置の第4実施形態を説明する。以下では、表示体の製造に用いることが可能な中間転写箔の構成、表示体の製造方法、および、表示体の作用を順に説明する。
本実施形態の表示体には、図1および図2を参照して先に説明した構成を採用することが可能である。また、本実施形態の表示体は、図37を参照して以下に説明する中間転写箔を用いて製造することもできる。
表示体10は、上述した基材21から保護層24までの各層の間に、印刷層、中間層、および、接着層などの機能層を備えてもよい。表示体10が印刷層を備える場合には、印刷層を形成する方法として、各種の印刷法を用いることができる。印刷法には、例えば、オフセット印刷法、グラビア印刷法、スクリーン印刷法、および、フレキソ印刷法などを用いることができる。
図38から図42を参照して、表示体の製造方法を説明する。以下では、本実施形態における表示体の製造方法を説明する前に、表示体の製造方法における問題点について説明する。
図38が示すように、隠蔽パターン223aは、例えば、1つの方向に沿って延びる複数の隠蔽部を含み、隠蔽パターン223aにおいて、複数の隠蔽パターン223aは、各隠蔽パターン223aが延びる方向と直交する方向に沿って等間隔で並んでいる。上述したように、中間転写箔231には、隠蔽パターン223aが予め形成されている。そして、中間転写箔231の受像層247には、隠蔽パターン23aに対する位置合わせが行われながら、予め設定された想定ピッチで、複数の印刷ドット22a1が形成される。これにより、中間転写箔231に印刷パターン22aが形成される。
図39が示すように、隠蔽パターン223aは、万線パターン250で構成されている。万線パターン250は複数の隠蔽部251を含んでいる。各隠蔽部251は、複数の画素251aの連なりである。複数の隠蔽部251において、第1の隠蔽部251を構成する1つの画素251a1と、第1の隠蔽部251と隣り合う第2の隠蔽部251を構成する1つの画素251a2との間の距離が、万線パターン250のピッチaである。第1の隠蔽部251と第2の隠蔽部251とが並ぶ方向において、各画素251aは幅bを有する。
図40が示すように、第1印刷パターン22aは、複数の印刷ドット22a1を含んでいる。上述したように、各印刷ドット22a1は、サーマルヘッドによって転写リボンが加熱されることにより、中間転写箔231に形成される。第1印刷パターン22aにおいて、サーマルヘッド33の主走査方向DMにおける印刷ドット22a1の間の距離が第1想定ピッチcであり、サーマルヘッド33の副走査方向DSにおける印刷ドット22a1の間の距離が第2想定ピッチdである。
図41が示すように、サーマルヘッド33は、中間転写箔231の搬送方向に対して、垂直な方向に沿って延びるように配置されている。サーマルヘッド33の走査方向において、中間転写箔231の搬送方向と直交する方向が主走査方向DMであり、中間転写箔231の搬送方向と平行な方向が副走査方向DSである。サーマルヘッド33は、一列に並ぶ複数の発熱体を備え、複数の発熱体が並ぶ方向は、サーマルヘッド33が延びる方向と平行である。言い換えれば、複数の発熱体は、サーマルヘッド33の主走査方向DMに沿って並んでいる。
図42が示すように、万線パターン260は、複数の画素261aの連なりである隠蔽部261を複数備えている。万線パターン260のピッチaは、例えば中間転写箔231の搬送方向に沿って設定されている。すなわち、万線パターン260が備える各隠蔽部261は、中間転写箔231の搬送方向に対して傾いている。図42において示される万線パターン260では、搬送方向と万線パターン260、すなわち各隠蔽部261が延びる方向とが形成する角度の設計値は、45°に設定されている。なお、この場合には、印刷ドット22a1が並ぶ方向は、万線パターン260が延びる方向と平行に設定されている。すなわち、搬送方向と印刷ドット22a1が並ぶ方向とが形成する角度の設計値は45°である。そのため、上述したように、搬送方向に対する各隠蔽部261の傾き、言い換えれば、搬送方向と、隠蔽部261が延びる方向とが形成する角度は、(45-2°)以上(45-0.5°)以下、すなわち、43°以上44.5°以下であることが好ましい。なお、各隠蔽部261が搬送方向に対して傾く場合でも、搬送方向において互いに隣り合う隠蔽部261間の距離がピッチaである。
図43および図44を参照して、表示体の作用を説明する。
図43は、万線パターンと印刷ドットとの重ね合わせによって形成される関連画像11bの一例である。図43が示す関連画像11bが形成される場合には、例えば、万線パターンが主走査方向DMに沿って延び、かつ、複数の万線パターンがピッチaで等間隔で並び、かつ、ピッチaが印刷ドットの第1想定ピッチcと同一の幅に設定されている。あるいは、万線パターンが副走査方向DSに沿って延び、かつ、複数の万線パターンがピッチaで等間隔で並び、かつ、ピッチaが印刷ドットの第2想定ピッチdと同一の幅に設定されている。
(B)搬送方向と、万線パターンとが形成する角度の設計値をX°に設定するとき、万線パターンと搬送方向とが形成する角度が、(X-2°)以上(X-0.5°)以下である。
なお、上述した第4実施形態は、以下のように適宜変更して実施することができる。
・万線パターンは、表示体の表面と対向する平面視において、顔画像11aと重なっていてもよい。この場合には、表示体の表面と対向する平面視において、背景画像11cと重なる万線パターンの形状と、顔画像11aと重なる万線パターンの形状とが、互いに異なっていてもよい。
