Description

The present invention relates to a booklet such as a passport or a visa, an image forming body such as a card, an article with an image forming body, a method for manufacturing an image forming body, a method for manufacturing an article with an image forming body, an apparatus for manufacturing an image forming body, and an article with an image forming body. It relates to a manufacturing apparatus.

Various information security methods have been proposed for information recording media related to personal authentication such as passports, visa stickers, and cards. For example, in a passport, according to what is called ICAO, a passport currently used must be readable by both visual and optical character identification methods. (ICAO is an abbreviation for International Civil Aviation Organization)
According to ICAO regulations, the materials and security used in passports are at the discretion of each country. The security functions commonly used are chemical reactants that react with organic solvents, iris pearl chips, Fiber (silk or synthetic fiber, visible or invisible, fluorescent or non-fluorescent), security thread for films printed with holograms and micro characters, paper with a watermark pattern, fading ink, fluorescent ink, thermal ink, optical Incorporates various techniques such as various inks (such as so-called OVI), fine line printing, rainbow printing, intaglio printing, pixel printing, etc. to improve security and aesthetics at the same time.
A face photograph as visual confirmation information of a passport has been conventionally pasted together, but in recent years there is a tendency to digitize the photograph information and reproduce it in a passport. As a method for reproducing an image on a passport, a thermal transfer recording method using a transfer ribbon using a resin-type melt type in which a pigment is dispersed or a wax melt type, or an electrophotographic method has been studied.

As this type of image display body containing personal recognition data, an image pattern formed based on the image data is provided on a card substrate such as polyvinyl chloride, or in addition to the image pattern, a hologram or diffraction Those having a lattice are known.

This hologram or diffraction grating structure is used as a means of preventing counterfeiting, such as credit cards, cash cards, membership card cards, employee ID cards, prepaid cards, various types of cards such as driver's licenses, various types of paper such as gift certificates, gift certificates, stock certificates, etc. In addition to various forms such as tickets, application forms, receipts, copy slips, etc. and various booklets such as passports, passbooks, pension notebooks, etc. Used by sticking. In addition, the whole described in the present invention has a conceptual meaning, regardless of a pattern, a pattern, or the like, a spot shape, a stripe shape, a thing stuck on a lattice, a regular shape, an irregular shape halftone dot Also included are those stuck with dots in the shape of a circle.

Such a hologram or diffraction grating transfer foil performs a sufficient function as an anti-counterfeiting effect. However, after forming an image such as a face photograph like a passport, the hologram or diffraction grating transfer layer is thermally transferred onto the image. At present, when the forgery technology has been developed, there is a possibility that the transfer layer is once removed by some method, and the image data and the like are falsified and then the transfer foil is put on again.

In addition, there is a possibility that image data may be falsified by selecting a person whose face shape / atmosphere is similar to the face photo of an authentication medium such as a stolen passport and pasting the printed photo over the face. .

Also, considering the widespread use of printers such as a sublimation transfer method, a heat-melting transfer ribbon method, or an electrophotographic method as a means for forming image information such as a facial photograph, image formation is now considered. It is becoming difficult to say that it is always difficult to form a new image in the area after removing the portion.

In order to solve the above problems, a method of putting a plurality of pieces of information for identifying an individual such as a face photograph is considered. One way to do this is to form image information such as a facial photograph with a hologram or diffraction grating, which makes it necessary to alter the hologram image at the same time as falsification of the face photograph with a color image. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

Then, moire 66 is displayed by 37 and 38.

  A second transfer film print image 62 is formed between the moire patterns 66 using the lines described above. The authentication image of the first transfer film print image 61 and the authentication image of the second transfer film print image 62 By comparing the person, the user can be authenticated, and the image forming body and the article 6 with the image forming body having a high falsification preventing effect can be obtained.

  The size of the articles 2 and 6 with the image forming body is not particularly limited, but is preferably a size that is easy to carry, and is about 95 × 150 mm of an AD card (Accreditation Card) such as the Olympics, the data page of the passport About 125 × 88 mm, and about 86 × 54 mm size of credit card is a commonly used size. Further, the use is not necessarily limited. Representative examples include passports, visas, playground equipment or various cards.

  The base material of the article 24 includes, as a support, various papers such as paper, coated paper, and synthetic paper (polypropylene, polystyrene, or a composite material obtained by bonding them to paper), vinyl chloride resin sheets, polyethylene, and the like. Examples include various plastic films and sheets such as terephthalate base film, transparent polyethylene terephthalate film and polyethylene naphthalate base film, films and sheets formed of various metals, films and sheets formed of various ceramics, and the like. I can do it. These colors may be a single color or a combination of two or more colors, and need not be particularly limited, such as having a pattern or pattern, but in order to enhance the clarity of personal authentication information formed in a later process In addition, white pigments such as titanium white, magnesium carbonate, zinc oxide, barium sulfate, silica, talc, clay, calcium carbonate and the like are preferably added. The thickness of the support is usually 20 to 1000 μm, preferably 50 to 800 μm.

The first transfer film print images 21 and 61 are first images provided for the examiner to determine whether or not the person who owns the image forming body or the article with the image forming body is the person himself / herself. The personal authentication image can be provided with a face photograph, fingerprint, signature, etc. that can identify the person himself / herself. Furthermore, in the case of a face photograph, either color or black and white may be used.

The second transfer film print images 22, 42 and 62 are second personal authentication images provided with the same images as the first transfer film print images 21 and 61, and at the same time increase the judgment material of the examiner and improve the falsification prevention effect. There is a work to make. The state is displayed in the form of dots by a plurality of cells composed of a diffraction grating or a structure in which irregularities are provided in a diffraction grating shape, in addition to a thermal transfer ribbon using ordinary colored ink. The cell can change the display image according to the observation angle by setting a plurality of types of gradations by controlling the direction, angle, brightness, and the like of diffracting external light.
As diffraction grating parameters,
(1) Spatial frequency of diffraction grating (pitch of grating line: number of grating lines per unit length)
(2) Direction of diffraction grating (direction of grating line)
(3) Diffraction grating drawing area (arrangement of diffraction grating cells)
According to the above (1), the color at which the diffraction grating pattern shines with respect to the fixed point changes,
In accordance with (2) above, the direction in which the diffraction grating cell appears shining changes,
A display image (personal authentication information or the like) is determined in accordance with (3) above.
Gloss with directivity by arranging a plurality of cells made of a diffraction grating in the second personal authentication image in a dot shape and forming a diffraction grating in which these parameters are changed for each cell (image). It is possible to construct a display image having In addition to the above, a cell having a plurality of gradations is prepared by changing the shape, thickness, material, size, etc. of each cell, and each cell is appropriately selected according to the purpose, purpose, and personal authentication information to be displayed. Individual authentication information can be displayed by selecting and arranging a plurality.

  The material used for the cell of the diffraction grating is preferably a resin that has good moldability, is less likely to cause unevenness, can produce a bright reproduced image, and has good adhesion to the substrate, the protective layer, and the adhesive layer. For example, thermoplastic resins such as polyurethane resin, polycarbonate resin, polystyrene resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, unsaturated polyester resin, melamine resin, epoxy resin, urethane (meth) acrylate, polyol (meth) acrylate, melamine (meth) acrylate, triazine A thermosetting resin such as (meth) acrylate or a mixture thereof, or a thermoformable material having a radical polymerizable unsaturated group can be used, and a diffraction grating can be formed by other than the above. Any material having stability can be used. It is further preferable to use the above material as a visible light transmitting layer that transmits visible light.

  The shape of the cell is not particularly limited, but the shape on the visible surface side may be a cube made of a polygon such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle or a quadrangle, or a cone or a quadrangular pyramid. The surface on the visible surface side may be smooth, may have a curved surface or a convex structure, and may be selectively deformed or destroyed. What is necessary is just to select suitably in order to obtain a required gradation. In addition, the convex structure has a cylindrical shape, a conical shape, a polygonal pyramid shape such as a triangle, five-stroke or six-stroke weight, a shape in which a cone is joined to a cylinder, and a shape in which a pyramid is joined to a prism. Strictly speaking, a hemisphere that is not a semi-ellipsoid, such as a hemisphere, a semi-elliptic sphere, a bullet, a bowl, or a semi-rugby ball, may be used. A concave structure such as a cone, a pyramid, or a spindle having a concave structure may be formed, and even if a concave part such as a cylindrical spindle shape or a rectangular tube shape is formed, the same function as the above-described mobile phone And can demonstrate the effect.

  With respect to the thickness of the cell, a visible image can be reproduced at 0.1 to 2.0 μm. The thickness of a plurality of arranged cells may be uniform, or the thickness may be different for each cell. Even when the image forming body is provided as a transfer foil, it is very difficult to tamper with only the second personal authentication display portion.

  Regarding the distance between cells, if the distance between adjacent cells is too far, personal authentication information cannot be displayed accurately. Therefore, it is preferable that adjacent cells be 300 μm or less. On the other hand, if the distance between the cells is too close, there is a possibility that interference nonuniformity or a visual defect may occur in the displayed personal authentication information. It is necessary to adjust appropriately according to the material of the cell.

  Further, it is necessary to make the diffraction grating appear in order to display the second personal authentication image. One method is to provide a high refractive index layer in the cell. A diffraction grating can appear by providing a material having a refractive index higher than that of the visible light transmission layer. By using a material that transmits visible light as the material of the high refractive index layer, the image in the lower layer can also be visually confirmed.

  The high refractive index layer is constituted by providing a single layer or a plurality of layers of metal oxide, intermetallic compound, resin material or metal oxide, intermetallic compound or resin material dispersed in resin material. Is done.

  Specifically, the material used for the high refractive index layer is a transparent material having a higher refractive index than the material used for the cell. For example, Sb2S3, Fe2O3, TiO2, CdS, CeO2, ZnS, PbCl2, CdO, Sb2O3, WO3, Inorganic materials such as SiO2, Si2O3, In2O3, PbO, Ta2O3, ZnO, ZrO2, Cd2O3, Al2O3, and Ge can be used. Further, the transparent thin film layer may be formed by superposing a plurality of layers, or may be a multilayer film in which a combination of layers having different refractive indexes, a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are alternately stacked.

  Further, as a method for forming such a high refractive index layer, film forming means such as sputtering and ion plating can be applied in addition to vacuum deposition, and the film thickness is in the range of 10 nm to 1000 nm. Preferably there is. The transparent thin film layer may be one in which a high refractive index powder such as TiO2 is dispersed in a resin or the like and the refractive index difference from the relief forming layer is 0.2 or more. In this case, since a coating film can be formed by a general coating method, it is not limited to the above film thickness.

  In addition, there is a method of providing a reflective layer as another method for causing the diffraction grating to appear in order to display the personal authentication information on the second personal authentication display unit. As the reflective layer, a metal such as Al, Sn, Ni, Co, Cr, Fe, Ag, Au may be formed as a discontinuous thin film.

  When the diffraction grating is caused to appear using a reflective layer or a high refractive index layer, it is preferable that the information under the second personal authentication display unit 13 can be visually observed. Therefore, there is a method in which the metallic gloss layer is made into a half mirror as a method for visually confirming personal authentication information such as a base material and a name under the diffraction grating of the second personal authentication display section. For example, in the case of aluminum, when a layer having a film thickness of about 20 to 40 nm is provided, it has a metallic luster depending on the angle, but the base appears to be transmitted at other angles. You may provide the layer which makes the diffraction grating of a 2nd personal authentication display part appear by such a method.

  There is a method of demetalizing the metallic luster layer as a method of allowing the diffraction grating of the second personal authentication display unit to appear and visually confirming a personal information image such as a name underneath it. By removing the metal of the metallic luster layer in the form of dots or lines, the diffraction grating of the second personal authentication display part can be visually confirmed, and the personal information image such as the name under the second personal authentication display part can also be visually confirmed.

  The diffraction grating layers 17, 67, 77, and 117 can be made to appear by the same method for making the diffraction grating of the second personal authentication display unit appear.

  The present invention relates to an image forming body for printing / printing / drawing a face image or a fingerprint, which is a personal identification key, on a booklet such as a passport or a visa, or an article with an image forming body such as a card, and an article with an image forming body. In particular, personal authentication information such as image information such as the image of the legitimate owner's face and fingerprints is made up of a plurality of cells with diffraction gratings, and colored patterns and line patterns are applied to the upper and lower layers. By providing such a colored layer, it becomes difficult to forge or tamper, and it becomes easier for an examiner who performs personal identification to identify an illegal act and to perform authentication with higher accuracy.
