Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、目の錯覚を利用して虚像を透明基板の上方又は下方に現出させる虚像現出装飾体に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
本出願人は、特開平10−35083号公報掲載の「モアレ現象を利用した点描画模様の装飾体」を開発しており、また、目の錯覚を利用した装飾体として特開2001−55000号公報掲載の「虚像現出装飾体」を開発している。
【0003】
前出特開平10−35083号公報掲載のモアレ現象を利用した点描画模様の装飾体は、透明基板の表面に半球状又は円弧状の平凸レンズ状集光素を一定の微細なピッチで規則正しい配列状態に印刷し、該透明基板の裏面に平凸レンズ状集光素と同形状で同配列状態又は異形状で同配列状態の多数の画素を、表面の平凸レンズ状集光素に対して交差角をずらせて印刷するか、または、当該透明基板と別体の基板に平凸レンズ状集光素と同形状で同配列状態又は異形状で同配列状態の着色画素を印刷して該基板を交差角をずらして張り合わせることにより、前記画素が、表面から見て立体感を有する拡大画像として現出し視点を移動させるとモアレ現象によって該拡大画像が揺らぎ感を呈するものである(以下、「第一従来品」という)。
【0004】
また、前出特開2001−55000号公報掲載の虚像現出装飾体は、同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層と該平凸レンズ状集光素層の下に積層された透明基板層と該透明基板層の下に積層された同一形状・同一大きさの画素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる画素層とからなり、前記各平凸レンズ状集光素と前記各画素とは少なくとも一組が上下において完全に重なっていると共に該重なっている画素と等距離にある他の画素が該他の画素と対応する平凸レンズ状集光素に対して当該重なっている画素を中心として放射状に外側又は内側へ向かって同じ幅でずれていて、かつ、当該中心となる画素より外側の画素ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように前記平凸レンズ状集光素層と前記画素層とが配置されており、前記画素の形状と同一形状の拡大された虚像が前記重なっている画素を中心として前記平凸レンズ状集光素層の上方又は下方に現出するものである(以下、「第二従来品」という)。
【0005】
当該特開2001−55000号公報掲載の他の虚像現出装飾体は、同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層と該平凸レンズ状集光素層の下に積層された透明基板層と該透明基板層の下に積層された同一形状・同一大きさの画素を該画素の列が順に同じ傾斜角を累積する傾斜パターンにて同一方向に並んで傾斜するように多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる画素層とからなり、前記各平凸レンズ状集光素と前記各画素とは少なくとも一組が上下において完全に重なっていると共に該重なっている平凸レンズ状集光素を中心とする対角線上の等距離にある他の平凸レンズ状集光素に対応する位置にある他の画素が該他の平凸レンズ状集光素に対して当該重なっている平凸レンズ状集光素を中心として点対称位置に横ずれして放射状に外側又は内側へ向かってずれていて、かつ、重なっている画素より外側の他の画素ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように前記平凸レンズ状集光素層と前記画素層とが配置されており、変形して拡大された画素の虚像が前記重なっている画素を中心として前記平凸レンズ状集光素層の上方又は下方に現出するものである(以下、「第三従来品」という)。
【0006】
そして、第二従来品及び第三従来品の画素層は、パーソナルコンピュータにて、編集処理アプリケーションを用いて編集処理を施した画像データを透明フィルム等に出力することによって形成されており、第三従来品の画素層は、図48に示すように、平凸レンズ状集光素層を形成した紗体の線数に近い又は同じ線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチで画素100が縦横に整列された画素配置(図48中、点線にて示す画素配置)を、一の画素列101を残した状態で該一の画素列101の隣の画素列102から順に同じ傾斜角θを累積する傾斜パターンにて、前記画素配置における一の画素行103上に配置された各画素100を中心として同一方向に並んで傾斜するように、即ち、一の画素列101の隣の画素列である一列目の画素列102の傾斜角θ1 がθとなり、二列目の画素列102の傾斜角θ2 が2θとなり、以下、同様にn列目の画素列102の傾斜角θn がnθとなるように傾斜させて、画素列102が略扇状に配置された状態の画像データを透明フィルム等に出力してなるものである。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
第二従来品及び第三従来品は、多数作成したサンプル装飾体の中から偶然発見した拡大された画素の虚像が透明基板の手前(上方)に浮いて見える装飾体及び透明基板の奥(下方)に沈んで見える装飾体と第一従来品との違いを調べた結果知得した経験的法則に基づいて完成させたものであり、第二従来品及び第三従来品における平凸レンズ状集光素層の上方又は下方に虚像が現出する現象についての正確な光学的理論が解明されるまでには至っていない。
【0008】
従って、前記経験的法則から外れた虚像現出装飾体より現出する虚像については全く予想することができず、当該虚像現出装飾体より現出する虚像を確認するためには、そのような虚像現出装飾体を実際に作成する以外に方法がなかった。
【0009】
第二従来品と第三従来品とを比較すると、第三従来品における画素層の画素配置は、第二従来品における画素層の画素配置と同様の画素配置に画素行又は画素列を単位として規則性を持たせて編集処理を施したものであり、また、第二従来品に現出する虚像と第三従来品に現出する虚像とが形状等において相違していることから画素層の画素配置と現出する虚像との間に何らかの因果関係が存在すると判断されるため、本発明者等は、第三従来品における画素層を形成する際に縦横に整列された画素配置に施した画素行又は画素列を単位とした編集処理を一つの画素を単位とした編集処理に変更すれば、新たな画素配置からなる画素層を形成することができ、これに伴って従来にない新たな虚像を現出する虚像現出装飾体が得られる可能性があると判断するに至った。
【0010】
そこで、本発明者等は、新たな虚像現出装飾体を開発すべく、多数縦横に整列された画素配置に一つの画素を単位として種々の規則性を持たせて編集処理を施した各画像データを各透明フィルムに出力して多種の画素層を実際に作成すると共に、種々の条件を持たせて多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層を積層させた多種の透明基板層を作成し、前記各画素層と前記各透明基板層とを互いに重ね合わせて現出する虚像を確認する試験や重ね合わせた画素層と透明基板層とをずらして現出する虚像を確認する試験などを何度も繰り返し行ったところ、ある特定の規則性を持たせて編集処理を施した画像データからなる画素層をある特定の条件で形成してなる透明基板層に重ね合わせた際に形成される虚像現出装飾体より現出する虚像が、該虚像を目視する位置を移動させると動くことに偶然気が付いた。
【0011】
さらに、本発明者等は、前記画素層の各画素と前記透明基板の各平凸レンズ状集光素との位置関係等を詳しく調べた結果、同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層を積層した透明基板層と、該平凸レンズ状集光素層を形成した紗体の線数に近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチで多数縦横に整列される画素の画素配置に、パーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、各画素行上に配置される画素の並び又は各画素列上に配置される画素の並びのいずれか一方の画素の並びに配置される各画素を、該一方の画素の並びと直交した基準線上に位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素又は該基準線の近くに位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素を基本画素として該基本画素から順に同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように、即ち、前記一方の画素の並びにおいて基本画素の隣の画素である一個目の画素の回転角θ1 がθとなり、二個目の画素の回転角θ2 が2θとなり、以下、同様にn個目の画素の回転角θn がnθとなるように回転させる編集処理を施した画素配置からなる画素層とを、前記各平凸レンズ状集光素と前記各画素とが少なくとも一組が上下において最も重なり、当該重なっている画素を含む画素列と等距離にある一組の他の画素列が該他の画素列に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列に対して該重なっている画素を含む画素列を中心軸として外側又は内側に向かってずれていると共に、当該重なっている画素を含む画素列より外側の画素列ほどずれる幅が大きくなり、かつ、当該重なっている画素を含む画素行と等距離にある一組の他の画素行が該他の画素行に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行に対して該重なっている画素を含む画素行を中心軸として外側又は内側に向かってずれていると共に、当該重なっている画素を含む画素行より外側の画素行ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように積層した虚像現出装飾体においては、前記画素の形状を変形した拡大された虚像が前記重なっている画素を中心として前記平凸レンズ状集光素層の上方又下方に現出すると共に、目視する位置を移動させると当該虚像が前記一方の画素の並びに配置された各画素の回転パターンに合わせて動くという刮目すべき知見を得て本発明を完成したものである。
【0012】

【0013】
即ち、本発明に係る虚像現出装飾体は、同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層と、該平凸レンズ状集光素層の下に積層された透明基板層と、該透明基板層の下に積層された画素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる画素層とからなり、前記画素層の各画素行上に配置される画素の並び又は各画素列上に配置される画素の並びのいずれか一方の画素の並びに配置される各画素は、該一方の画素の並びと直交した基準線上に位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素又は該基準線の近くに位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素を基本画素として該基本画素から順にそれぞれの画素が該画素の中心又は中心からずれた位置にある一点を支点として該基本画素側に位置する画素に対して同じ回転角を累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されており、前記各平凸レンズ状集光素と前記各画素とは少なくとも一組が上下において最も重なっており、当該重なっている画素を含む画素列と等距離にある一組の他の画素列が該他の画素列に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列に対して該重なっている画素を含む画素列を中心軸として外側に向かってずれていると共に、当該重なっている画素を含む画素列より外側の画素列ほどずれる幅が大きくなり、かつ、当該重なっている画素を含む画素行と等距離にある一組の他の画素行が該他の画素行に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行に対して該重なっている画素を含む画素行を中心軸として外側又は内側に向かってずれていると共に、当該重なっている画素を含む画素行より外側の画素行ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように前記平凸レンズ状集光素層と前記画素層とが配置されており、前記画素の形状を変形した拡大された虚像が前記重なっている画素を中心として前記平凸レンズ状集光素層の上方に現出すると共に、目視する位置を移動させると当該虚像が前記一方の画素の並びに配置された各画素の回転パターンに合わせて動くものである。

【0015】
また、本発明に係る虚像現出装飾体は、同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層と、該平凸レンズ状集光素層の下に積層された透明基板層と、該透明基板層の下に積層された画素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる画素層とからなり、前記画素層は、各画素行上に配置される画素の並び又は各画素列上に配置される画素の並びのいずれか一方の画素の並びに配置される各画素が、該一方の画素の並びと直交した基準線上に位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素又は該基準線の近くに位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素を基本画素として該基本画素から順にそれぞれの画素が該画素の中心又は中心からずれた位置にある一点を支点として該基本画素側に位置する画素に対して同じ回転角を累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されており、かつ、各画素列上に配置される画素の並びが順に同じ傾斜角を累積する傾斜パターンにて一方向に並んで傾斜するように形成されており、前記各平凸レンズ状集光素と前記各画素とは少なくとも一組が上下において最も重なっており、当該重なっている平凸レンズ状集光素を中心とする対角線上の等距離にある他の平凸レンズ状集光素に対応する位置にある他の画素が該他の平凸レンズ状集光素に対して当該重なっている平凸レンズ状集光素を中心として点対称位置に横ずれして放射状に外側に向かってずれていて、かつ、当該重なっている画素より外側の他の画素ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように前記平凸レンズ状集光素層と前記画素層とが配置されており、前記画素の形状を変形した拡大された虚像が前記重なっている画素を中心として前記平凸レンズ状集光素層の上方に現出すると共に、目視する位置を移動させると当該虚像が前記一方の画素の並びに配置された各画素の回転パターンに合わせて動くものである。
【0016】
本発明に係る虚像現出装飾体は、同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層と、該平凸レンズ状集光素層の下に積層された透明基板層と、該透明基板層の下に積層された画素を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる画素層とからなり、前記画素層は、各画素行上に配置される画素の並び又は各画素列上に配置される画素の並びのいずれか一方の画素の並びに配置される各画素が、該一方の画素の並びと直交した基準線上に位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素又は該基準線の近くに位置する他方の画素の並びに配置される各画素を基本画素として該基本画素から順にそれぞれの画素が該画素の中心又は中心からずれた位置にある一点を支点として該基本画素側に位置する画素に対して同じ回転角を累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されており、かつ、各画素列上に配置される画素の並びが順に同じ傾斜角を累積する傾斜パターンにて一方向に並んで傾斜するように形成されており、前記各平凸レンズ状集光素と前記各画素とは少なくとも一組が上下において最も重なっており、当該重なっている平凸レンズ状集光素を中心とする対角線上の等距離にある他の平凸レンズ状集光素に対応する位置にある他の画素が該他の平凸レンズ状集光素に対して当該重なっている平凸レンズ状集光素を中心として点対称位置に横ずれして放射状に内側に向かってずれていて、かつ、当該重なっている画素より外側の他の画素ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように前記平凸レンズ状集光素層と前記画素層とが配置されており、前記画素の形状を変形した拡大された虚像が前記重なっている画素を中心として前記平凸レンズ状集光素層の下方に現出すると共に、目視する位置を移動させると当該虚像が前記一方の画素の並びに配置された各画素の回転パターンに合わせて動くものである。

【0020】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。
【0021】
実施の形態1.
【0022】
図1は本実施の形態における虚像現出装飾体を模型的に示した部分縦断面図であり、平凸レンズ状集光素と画素とが上下において最も重なっている箇所を通って切断されている。図2は図1に示す虚像現出装飾体の平凸レンズ状集光素と画素との位置関係を説明する平面図であり、図中、画素列及び画素行を実線、平凸レンズ状集光素列及び平凸レンズ状集光素行を点線、基準線を一点鎖線にて示している。図3は図1に示す虚像現出装飾体の平凸レンズ状集光素層を示した平面図であり、図中、平凸レンズ状集光素をスクリーン印刷する紗体の紗線を一点鎖線にて示している。図4は図1に示す虚像現出装飾体における画素層の画素配置を説明する図であり、図中、回転前の画素、画素列及び画素行を点線、回転後の画素を実線、基準線を一点鎖線にて示している。図5は図2に示す虚像現出装飾体を目視した状態を説明する図であり、図5の(a)は目視する位置を基準画素の真上に固定して目視した場合を示した説明図であり、図5の(b)は図2に示す虚像現出装飾体をX方向から目視した状態で目視する位置を各画素行に配置された画素の並びに対して略平行に移動させた場合を示した正面図である。図6は図2に示す虚像現出装飾体をX方向から目視した場合に現出する虚像を左目で目視した後に右目で目視したときの画像のずれを説明する平面図であり、図6の(a)は左目で目視したときの画像を示し、図6の(b)は右目で目視したときの画像を示している。図7は図2に示す虚像現出装飾体をX方向から目視した場合に現出する虚像を右目で目視した後に左目で目視したときの画像のずれを説明する平面図であり、図7の(a)は右目で目視したときの画像を示し、図7の(b)は左目で目視したときの画像を示している。図8は図2に示す虚像現出装飾体をX方向から目視した場合に現出する虚像の動きを説明する平面図であり、図8の(a)は虚像を目視する位置を図2に示す虚像現出装飾体におけるY方向に移動させた場合の該虚像の動きを示した平面図であり、図8の(b)は虚像を目視する位置を図2に示す虚像現出装飾体におけるY方向と反対方向に移動させた場合の該虚像の動きを示した平面図である。図9は図2に示す虚像現出装飾体をY方向から目視した場合に現出する虚像の動きを説明する平面図であり、図9の(a)は虚像を目視する位置を図2に示す虚像現出装飾体におけるY方向に移動させた場合の該虚像の動きを示した平面図であり、図9の(b)は虚像を目視する位置を図2に示す虚像現出装飾体におけるY方向と反対方向に移動させた場合の該虚像の動きを示した平面図である。
【0023】
本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体1は、図1に示すように、凸レンズの役割を果たす同一形状・同一大きさの平凸レンズ状集光素2を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層3と、平凸レンズ状集光素層3の下に積層された透明基板4からなる透明基板層5と、透明フィルム6に画素7を多数縦横に整列させて形成してなる画素層8とから構成されおり、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8とは、図2に示すように、平凸レンズ状集光素2と画素7とが上下において最も重なる基準集光素9と基準画素10とからなる組を有し、基準画素10を含む基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として外側に向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなり、かつ、基準画素10を含む基準画素行14と等距離にある一組の他の画素行15,15が該他の画素行15,15に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行16,16に対して基準画素行14を中心軸として外側に向かって前記画素列12,12におけるずれ幅と同じずれ幅でずれていると共に、基準画素行14より外側の画素行15,15ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように配置されている。
【0024】
なお、本実施の形態においては、透明フィルム6と該透明フィルム6に形成された画素7とをあわせて画素層8という。
【0025】
平凸レンズ状集光素層3は、厚盛性のよい透明インクを用いて、図3に示すように、透明基板4の表面にスクリーン印刷により紗体を形成する紗線A(図3中、一点鎖線にて示す。)によってできた升目を単位として一つの升目の中に一つの平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷すれば容易に形成することができる。
【0026】
平凸レンズ状集光素層3をスクリーン印刷により形成する場合には、10≦線数≦70を満足する紗体を用いればよく、紗体の線数が10未満及び70を越えれば、平凸レンズ状とすることが難しい。
【0027】
透明基板4は、合成樹脂製のものを使用すればよく、硬質、軟質いずれであってもよい。硬質の場合は厚さ1mm〜5mmのもの、軟質の場合は厚さ0.5 mm〜2mmのものが取扱いに適し、商品価値としての応用性が広がり、実用的である。また、透明性を有しておれば、着色されていてもよい。具体的には、ポリカーボネート、ポリエステル、アクリル、ポリ塩化ビニル等の透明合成樹脂製板又は透明フィルムを使用すればよい。なお、透明基板4が5.0 mmよりも厚くなると現出する像がぼやけ、色が薄くなる傾向にあり、逆に0.5 mmよりも薄くなると平印刷の感じとなり、虚像が観察できない傾向にある。また、透明基板4は合成樹脂製に限ることなく、ガラス製の板であってもよい。
【0028】
画素層8は、図2に示すように、平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数未満の線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチで画素7が多数縦横に整列された画素配置をパーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、図4に示すように、各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並び(一方の画素の並び)と直交した基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置される画素7の並び(他方の画素の並び)の各画素7を基本画素18とし、各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並びの各画素7を基本画素18から順に該画素7の中心(図4中、画素行と画素列の交点)を支点として同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように、即ち、各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並びにおいて基本画素18の隣の画素である一個目の画素7の回転角θ1 がθとなり、二個目の画素7の回転角θ2 が2θとなり、以下、同様にn個目の画素7の回転角θn がnθとなるように回転させる編集処理を施した画素配置の画像データを得た後、当該画像データを出力処理アプリケーションを用いてパーソナルコンピュータに転送処理し、転送された画像データをイメージデータに変換する演算処理アプリケーションを用いて演算処理した後、イメージセッターに転送し、自動現像機にて透明フィルム6に各画素7を出力して形成してなるものである。
【0029】
升目のピッチとは、図3に示す一点鎖線によってできる升目内の任意の位置から該升目と縦横で隣り合う升目の前記任意の位置と同じ位置までの距離をいう。
【0030】
本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体1を、図5の(a)に示すように、X方向(図2参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して片目ずつで目視した場合には、図2に示すように、X方向に対して平行な基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該各他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として外側へ向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の他の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているので、左目19で目視したときに見えた画像20(図6の(a)参照)が右目21で目視したときには左方向(図6の(b)参照)にずれ、また、右目21で目視したときに見えた画像22(図7の(a)参照)が左目19で目視したときには右方向(図7の(b)参照)にずれる。即ち、虚像現出装飾体1を左目19のみで目視したときに見える画像20と右目21のみで目視したときに見える画像22との位置関係を比べると、図5の(a)に示すように、目線が交差するようにずれて画像20,22が現れており、この画像20,22のずれにより、画素7の形状を変形した拡大された十字形の虚像23が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。
【0031】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体1を目視する方向をX方向(図2参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像23を目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合、即ち、目視する方向(X方向)に対して略垂直方向に移動させた場合には、当該各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並びの各画素7が該画素7の中心を支点として基本画素18から順に同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているため、虚像23を目視する位置をY方向(図2参照)に移動させると、虚像23が、図8の(a)に示すように、僅かにY方向と反対方向(図8の(a)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像23の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見え、虚像23を目視する位置をY方向と反対方向(図2参照)に移動させると、虚像23が、図8の(b)に示すように、僅かにY方向(図8の(b)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像23の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0032】
なお、目視する位置を移動させた際に虚像23が僅かに移動するのは、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8との間に透明基板層5が積層されており、かつ、基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該各他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として外側へ向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の他の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているからである。
【0033】
次に、虚像現出装飾体1を目視する方向を変更してY方向(図2参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、図2に示すように、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12が画素行となり、画素行15が画素列となり、基準画素列11が基準画素行となり、基準画素行14が基準画素列となり、平凸レンズ状集光素列13が平凸レンズ状集光素行となり、平凸レンズ状集光素行16が平凸レンズ状集光素列となり、画素行15であった画素列と平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列及び画素列12であった画素行と平凸レンズ状集光素列13であった平凸レンズ状集光素行は、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12と平凸レンズ状集光素列13及び画素行15と平凸レンズ状集光素行16の位置関係と同様の位置関係にあるので、図5の(a)に示すように、画素7の形状を変形した拡大された十字形の虚像24が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。
【0034】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体1を目視する方向をY方向(図2参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像24を目視する位置を前記画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合、即ち、目視する方向(Y方向)に対して略平行方向に移動させた場合には、当該画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素7の並びの各画素7が基本画素18から順に該画素7の中心を支点として同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているため、虚像24を目視する位置をY方向(図2参照)に移動させた場合には、虚像23が、図9の(a)に示すように、僅かにY方向と反対方向(図9の(a)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像24の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見え、虚像24を目視する位置をY方向と反対方向(図2参照)に移動させた場合には、虚像24が、図9の(b)に示すように、僅かにY方向(図9の(b)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像24の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0035】
なお、目視する位置を移動させた際に虚像24が僅かに移動するのは、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8との間に透明基板層5が積層されており、かつ、画素行15であった画素列と平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列及び画素列12であった画素行と平凸レンズ状集光素列13であった平凸レンズ状集光素行が、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12と平凸レンズ状集光素列13及び画素行15と平凸レンズ状集光素行16の位置関係と同様の位置関係にあるからである。
【0036】
また、画素列12が平凸レンズ状集光素列13に対して徐々にずれていくと共に、画素行15が平凸レンズ状集光素行16に対して徐々にずれていくので、基準集光素9と基準画素10とからなる組から一定の間隔毎に再び画素7と平凸レンズ状集光素2とが重なり、当該重なった画素7(基準画素10)と平凸レンズ状集光素2(基準集光素9)が形成される。
【0037】
従って、虚像現出装飾体1に一定の間隔毎に複数の基準画素10が形成され、該各基準画素10を中心として複数の虚像23,24が現出する場合には、虚像23,24を目視する位置を移動させると、各虚像23,24は各虚像23,24毎に回転するように動いて見える。
【0038】
なお、画素7の形状は十字形に限らず、四角形、星形、ハート形、文字形、影絵様形等、任意の形状が採用できる。
【0039】
また、画素層8は、写真製版により画素を形成したフィルムであってもよく、スクリーン印刷、オフセット印刷及び凸版印刷によっても形成することができる。さらに、画素7をカラープリンタによって出力してもよい。
【0040】
なお、前記回転角θは、透明基板4の厚み・材質、平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成する線数及び画素層8を形成する線数の条件によって決まる値であるが、0.1 ≦回転角θ≦15.0から適宜選択することが好ましい。
【0041】
具体的には、例えば、厚さ1mmの軟質透明基板4(透明基板層5)の表面に線数35の紗体にて平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷した場合には、透明フィルム6に線数34.1を満足する紗体の升目のピッチにて整列させた各画素7を0.2 ≦回転角θ≦15.0を満足する回転角(例えば、0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 15.0)で回転させた画素配置からなる画素層8を形成すればよく、厚さ1mmの硬質透明基板4(透明基板層5)の表面に線数45の紗体にて平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷した場合には、透明フィルム6に線数40を満足する紗体の升目のピッチにて整列させた各画素7を0.5 ≦回転角θ≦15.0を満足する回転角(例えば、0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 15.0 )で回転させた画素配置からなる画素層8を形成すればよく、厚さ0.5mm の軟質透明基板4(透明基板層5)の表面に線数70の紗体にて平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷した場合には、透明フィルム6に線数45を満足する紗体の升目のピッチにて整列させた各画素7を0.5 ≦回転角θ≦5.0 を満足する回転角(例えば、0.5, 1.0, 5.0 )で回転させた画素配置からなる画素層8を形成すればよく、厚さ5mmの硬質透明基板4(透明基板層5)の表面に線数10の紗体にて平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷した場合には、透明フィルム6に線数8 を満足する紗体の升目のピッチにて整列させた各画素7を0.5 ≦回転角θ≦5.0 を満足する回転角(例えば、0.5, 1.0, 5.0 )で回転させた画素配置からなる画素層8を形成すればよい。

実施の形態2.
【0043】
本実施の形態は前記実施の形態1の画素層の変形例であり、図10は本実施の形態に係る画素層の一変形例を示した図であり、図10の(a)は変形例1に係る画素層を積層した虚像現出装飾体の画素と平凸レンズ状集光素との位置関係を説明する平面図であり、図中、画素行及び画素列を実線、平凸レンズ状集光素列及び平凸レンズ状集光素行を点線、基準線を一点鎖線にて示しており、図10の(b)は図10の(a)に示す虚像現出装飾体に現出する虚像の動きを示した平面図であり、図10の(c)は複数の虚像が現出した場合の各虚像の動きを示した平面図である。図11は本実施の形態に係る画素層の他の変形例を示した図であり、図11の(a)は変形例2に係る画素層を積層した虚像現出装飾体の画素と平凸レンズ状集光素との位置関係を説明する平面図であり、図中、画素行及び画素列を実線、平凸レンズ状集光素列及び平凸レンズ状集光素行を点線、基準線を一点鎖線にて示しており、図11の(b)は図11の(a)に示す虚像現出装飾体に現出する虚像の動き示した平面図である。図12は変形例3に係る画素層を積層した虚像現出装飾体の画素と平凸レンズ状集光素との位置関係を説明する平面図であり、図中、画素行及び画素列を実線、平凸レンズ状集光素列及び平凸レンズ状集光素行を点線、基準線を一点鎖線にて示しており、図13は図12に示す虚像現出装飾体に現出する虚像の動き示した平面図である。これらの図において、図1〜図9と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。
【0044】
変形例1:本変形例に係る画素層は、図10の(a)に示すように、三角形の画素25が前記実施の形態1と同様にして多数縦横に整列された画素配置をパーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、各画素行15上に配置される画素25の並び(一方の画素の並び)の各画素25を、前記実施の形態1と同様に基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置された画素25の並び(他方の画素の並び)の各画素25を基本画素26として該基本画素26から順に該画素25の重心(図10の(a)中、画素行と画素列の交点)を支点として同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転させると共に、各画素行15上に配置される画素25の並び(一方の画素の並び)の各画素25の大きさが、基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置される画素25の並びを一の画素25の並びとして該一の画素25の並びからより遠くに離れた他の画素25の並びに配置される画素25ほど小さくなるように編集処理を施した画素配置の画像データを得た後、前記実施の形態1と同様にして透明フィルム6に各画素25を出力して形成してなるものである。
【0045】
なお、本変形例においては、一の画素の並びとして基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置される画素25の並びを選定したが、基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置される画素25の並びに限らず、任意の画素の並びを一の画素の並びを選定することができる。
【0046】
本変形例に係る画素層を積層した虚像現出装飾体1を前記実施の形態1と同様にして目視すると、図10の(b)に示すように、画素25の形状を変形した拡大された略三角形の虚像27が回転した画素25とは上下左右が逆転した状態で基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。また、前記実施の形態1と同様に目視する方向を保持した状態で目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置される画素25の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、虚像27が、目視する位置を移動させた方向と反対方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素25の回転に合わせて該虚像27の重心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0047】
なお、虚像27が回転した画素25とは上下左右が逆転した状態で現出するのは、図10の(a)に示すように、回転した画素25の形状が該画素25の中心に対して点対称でなく、また、基準画素行14より下側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素25の上側部分と重なっていると共に、基準画素行14より上側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素25の下側部分と重なっているため、基準画素行14より下側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素25の上側部分を現出させる役割を果たすと共に、基準画素行14より上側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素25の下側部分を現出させる役割を果たし、かつ、基準画素列11より右側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素25の左側部分と重なっていると共に、基準画素列11より左側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素25の右側部分と重なっているため、基準画素列11より右側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素25の左側部分を現出させる役割を果たすと共に、基準画素列11より左側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素25の右側部分を現出させる役割を果たすからである。
【0048】
また、本変形例に係る画素層を透明基板層の裏面に積層させた際に、基準画素10が多数形成される場合には、当該画素層に形成された各画素25の大きさが前記一の画素25の並びからより遠くに離れた他の画素25の並びに配置される画素ほど小さくなっているので、図10の(c)に示すように、当該一の画素25の並びから離れた位置に形成される基準画素10を中心として現出する虚像27ほど小さくなる。そして、前記実施の形態1と同様に虚像27を目視する位置を移動させると、各虚像27は各虚像27毎に回転するように動いて見える。
【0049】
変形例2:本変形例に係る画素層は、図11の(a)に示すように、魚形状の画素28が前記実施の形態1と同様にして多数縦横に整列された画素配置をパーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、各画素行15上に配置される画素28の並び(一方の画素の並び)の各画素28を、前記実施の形態1と同様に基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置された画素28の並び(他方の画素の並び)の各画素28を基本画素29として該基本画素29から順に該魚形状の画素28から一定間隔離れた位置にある一点、即ち、画素28の外部にある一点を支点として同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転させるように編集処理を施した画素配置の画像データを得た後、前記実施の形態1と同様にして透明フィルム6に各画素28を出力して形成してなるものである。
【0050】
本変形例に係る画素層を積層した虚像現出装飾体1を前記実施の形態1と同様にして目視すると、図11の(b)に示すように、画素28の形状を変形した拡大された魚形状の虚像30が画素28とは上下左右が逆転した状態で基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。また、前記実施の形態1と同様に目視する方向を保持した状態で目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置される画素28の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、虚像30が、目視する方向を移動させた方向と反対方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素30の回転に合わせて該虚像30から一定間隔離れた位置にある一点、即ち、該虚像30の外部にある一点を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0051】
なお、虚像30が画素28とは上下左右が逆転した状態で現出するのは、図11の(a)に示すように、画素28の形状が該画素28の中心に対して点対称でなく、また、基準画素行14より下側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素28の上側部分(背びれ部分)と重なっていると共に、基準画素行14より上側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素28の下側部分(腹部分)と重なっているため、基準画素行14より下側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素28の上側部分を現出させる役割を果たすと共に、基準画素行14より上側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素28の下側部分を現出させる役割を果たし、かつ、基準画素列11より右側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素28の左側部分(頭部分)と重なっていると共に、基準画素列11より左側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素28の右側部分(尾びれ部分)と重なっているため、基準画素列11より右側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素28の左側部分を現出させる役割を果たすと共に、基準画素列11より左側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素28の右側部分を現出させる役割を果たすからである。
【0052】
また、本変形例においても、複数の虚像30が現出する場合に目視する位置を移動させると、各虚像30は各虚像30毎に回転するように動いて見える。
【0053】
変形例3:本変形例に係る画素層は、図12に示すように、鍵穴形の画素31が前記実施の形態1と同様にして多数縦横に整列された画素配置をパーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、各画素行15上に配置される画素31の並び(一方の画素の並び)の各画素31を、前記実施の形態1と同様に基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置された画素31の並び(他方の画素の並び)の各画素31を基本画素32として該基本画素32から順に該鍵穴形の画素31の円形部分の中心、即ち、画素31全体の中心からずれた位置にある一点(図12の(a)中、画素行と画素列の交点)を支点として同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転させるように編集処理を施した画素配置の画像データを得た後、前記実施の形態1と同様にして透明フィルム6に各画素31を出力して形成してなるものである。
【0054】
本変形例に係る画素層を積層した虚像現出装飾体1を前記実施の形態1と同様にして目視すると、図13に示すように、画素31の形状を変形した拡大された鍵穴形状の虚像33が回転した画素31とは上下左右が逆転した状態で基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。また、前記実施の形態1と同様に目視する方向を保持した状態で目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置される画素31の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、虚像33が、目視する位置を移動させた方向と反対方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素31の回転に合わせて当該虚像33の円形部分の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0055】
なお、虚像33が回転した画素31とは上下左右が逆転した状態で現出するのは、図12のに示すように、回転した画素31の形状が該画素31の中心に対して点対称でなく、また、基準画素行14より下側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素31の上側部分(円形部分から突出した部分)と重なっていると共に、基準画素行14より上側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素31の下側部分(円形部分)と重なっているため、基準画素行14より下側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素31の上側部分を現出させる役割を果たすと共に、基準画素行14より上側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素31の下側部分を現出させる役割を果し、かつ、基準画素列11より右側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素31の左側部分と重なっていると共に、基準画素列11より左側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が該平凸レンズ状集光素2に対応する画素31の右側部分と重なっているため、基準画素列11より右側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素31の左側部分を現出させる役割を果たすと共に、基準画素列11より左側に位置する平凸レンズ状集光素2が画素31の右側部分を現出させる役割を果たすからである。
【0056】
また、本変形例においても、複数の虚像33が現出する場合に目視する位置を移動させると、各虚像33は各虚像33毎に回転するように動いて見える。

本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体34は、図14に示すように、透明基板4からなる透明基板層5と、該透明基板層5の表面に積層された前記実施の形態1と同様にして平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層3と、透明基板層5の裏面に積層された画素7を多数縦横に整列させた画素層8とから構成されおり、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8とは、図15に示すように、平凸レンズ状集光素2と画素7とが上下において最も重なる基準集光素9と基準画素10とからなる組を有し、基準画素10を含む基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として内側に向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなり、かつ、基準画素10を含む基準画素行14と等距離にある一組の他の画素行15,15が該他の画素行15,15に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行16,16に対して基準画素行14を中心軸として内側に向かって前記画素列12,12におけるずれ幅と同じずれ幅でずれていると共に、基準画素行14より外側の画素行15,15ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように配置されている。

本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体34を、図17の(a)に示すように、X方向(図15参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して片目ずつで目視した場合には、図15に示すように、X方向に対して平行な基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該各他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として内側へ向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の他の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているので、左目19で目視したときに見えた画像35(図18の(a)参照)が右目21で目視したときには右方向(図18の(b)参照)にずれ、また、右目21で目視したときに見えた画像36(図19の(a)参照)が左目19で目視したときには左方向(図19の(b)参照)にずれる。即ち、虚像現出装飾体34を左目19のみで目視したときに見える画像35と右目21のみで目視したときに見える画像36との位置関係を比べると、図17の(a)に示すように、目線が交差しないようにずれて画像35,36が現れており、この画像35,36のずれにより、画素7の形状を変形した拡大された十字形の虚像37が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の奥(下方)に沈んで見える。
【0062】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体34を目視する方向を方向(図15参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像37を目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合(図17の(b)参照)には、各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並びの各画素7が該画素7の中心を支点として基本画素18から順に同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているため、虚像37を目視する位置をY方向(図15参照)に移動させると、虚像37が、図20の(a)に示すように、僅かにY方向(図20の(a)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像37の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見え、虚像37を目視する位置をY方向と反対方向(図15参照)に移動させると、虚像37が、図20の(b)に示すように、僅かにY方向と反対方向(図20の(b)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像37の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0063】
なお、目視する位置を移動させた際に虚像37が僅かに移動するのは、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8との間に透明基板層5が積層されており、かつ、基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該各他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として内側へ向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の他の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているからである。
【0064】
次に、虚像現出装飾体34を目視する方向を変更してY方向(図15参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、図15に示すように、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12が画素行となり、画素行15が画素列となり、基準画素列11が基準画素行となり、基準画素行14が基準画素列となり、平凸レンズ状集光素列13が平凸レンズ状集光素行となり、平凸レンズ状集光素行16が平凸レンズ状集光素列となり、画素行15であった画素列と平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列及び画素列12であった画素行と平凸レンズ状集光素列13であった平凸レンズ状集光素行は、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12と平凸レンズ状集光素列13及び画素行15と平凸レンズ状集光素行16の位置関係と同様の位置関係にあるため、図17の(a)に示すように、画素7の形状を変形した拡大された十字形の虚像38が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の奥(下方)に沈んで見える。
【0065】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体34を目視する方向をY方向(図15参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像38を目視する位置を前記画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素7の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、当該画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素7の並びの各画素7が基本画素18から順に該画素7の中心を支点として同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているため、虚像38を目視する位置をY方向(図15参照)に移動させると、虚像38が、図21の(a)に示すように、僅かにY方向(図21の(a)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像38の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見え、虚像38を目視する位置をY方向と反対方向(図15参照)に移動させると、虚像38が、図21の(b)に示すように、僅かにY方向と反対方向(図21の(b)中、矢印方向)に移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素7の回転に合わせて該虚像38の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0066】
なお、目視する位置を移動させた際に虚像38が僅かに移動するのは、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8との間に透明基板層5が積層されており、かつ、画素行15であった画素列と平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列及び画素列12であった画素行と平凸レンズ状集光素列13であった平凸レンズ状集光素行が、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12と平凸レンズ状集光素列13及び画素行15と平凸レンズ状集光素行16の位置関係と同様の位置関係にあるからである。
【0067】
本実施の形態においても、複数の虚像37,38が現出する場合に目視する位置を移動させると、各虚像37,38は各虚像37,38毎に回転するように動いて見える。

【0072】
そして、図23に示すように、本変形例に係る画素層8を積層した虚像現出装飾体34においては、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層8とが、平凸レンズ状集光素2と十字形の画素7とが上下において最も重なる基準集光素9と基準画素10とからなる組を有する外は、前記実施の形態3と同様の位置関係になるように配置されている

【0086】
図31の(a)及び図31の(b)に示すように、本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体50は、透明基板4からなる透明基板層5と、該透明基板層5の表面に前記実施の形態1と同様にして平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層3と、透明フィルム6に画素7を縦横において異なるピッチとなるように多数整列させて形成してなる画素層51とから構成されおり、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層51とは、図30に示すように、平凸レンズ状集光素2と画素7とが上下において最も重なる基準集光素9と基準画素10とからなる組を有し、基準画素10を含む基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として内側に向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなり、かつ、基準画素10を含む基準画素行14と等距離にある一組の他の画素行15,15が該他の画素行15,15に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行16,16に対して基準画素行14を中心軸として外側に向かってずれていると共に、基準画素行14より外側の画素行15,15ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように配置されている。
【0087】
なお、本実施の形態おいては、透明フィルム6と該透明フィルム6に形成された画素7とを合わせて画素層51という。
【0088】
画素層51は、図30に示すように、パーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、縦方向の画素7のピッチを平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数から所定線数引いた近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチとし、横方向の画素7のピッチを平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数に所定線数足した近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチとして画素7を多数縦横に整列させた画素配置とした外は、前記実施の形態1と同様にして編集処理を施した画素配置の画像データを得た後、前記実施の形態1と同様にして透明フィルム6に各画素7を出力して形成してなるものである。

次に、虚像現出装飾体50を目視する方向を変更してY方向(図30参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、図30に示すように、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12が画素行となり、画素行15が画素列となり、基準画素列11が基準画素行となり、基準画素行14が基準画素列となり、平凸レンズ状集光素列13が平凸レンズ状集光素行となり、平凸レンズ状集光素行16が平凸レンズ状集光素列となり、Y方向に対して平行な基準画素行14であった基準画素列と等距離にある画素行15であった一組の他の画素列が該各他の画素列に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列に対して当該基準画素列を中心軸として外側へ向かってずれていると共に、当該基準画素列より外側の当該他の画素列ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているので、画素7の形状を変形した拡大された虚像53が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。

本実施の形態においても、虚像現出装飾体50において多数の虚像53が現出する場合に、各虚像52,53を目視する位置を移動させると、各虚像52,53は各虚像52,53毎に回転するように動いて見える。

図34の(a)及び図34の(b)に示すように、本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体54は、透明基板4からなる透明基板層5と、該透明基板層5の表面に前記実施の形態1と同様にして平凸レンズ状集光素2を印刷してなる平凸レンズ状集光素層3と、該透明基板層5の裏面に積層された画素55を縦横において異なるピッチとなるように多数整列させて形成してなる画素層56とから構成されおり、平凸レンズ状集光素層3と画素層56とは、図33に示すように、平凸レンズ状集光素2と画素55とが上下において最も重なる基準集光素9と基準画素10とからなる組を有し、基準画素10を含む基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として内側に向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなり、かつ、基準画素10を含む基準画素行14と等距離にある一組の他の画素行15,15が該他の画素行15,15に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素行16,16に対して基準画素行14を中心軸として内側に向かって前記画素列12,12におけるずれ幅より小さなずれ幅でずれていると共に、基準画素行14より外側の画素行15,15ほどずれる幅が大きくなるように配置されている。

画素層56は、図33に示すように、パーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、縦方向の画素55のピッチを平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数から所定線数足した近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチとし、横方向の画素55のピッチを平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数に前記所定線数を超える線数足した近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチとして画素55を多数整列させた画素配置の各画素行15上に配置される画素55の並び(一方の画素の並び)と直交した基準線17上に位置する画素列12上に配置される画素55の並び(他方の画素の並び)の各画素55を基本画素58とした外は、前記実施の形態1と同様にして編集処理を施した画素配置の画像データを得た後、前記実施の形態3と同様にして透明基板4の裏面に各画素55を出力して形成してなるものである。
【0098】
本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体54をX方向(図33参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、X方向に対して平行な基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該各他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として内側へ向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の他の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているので、図3の(a)に示すように、画素55の形状を変形した拡大された虚像57が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の奥(下方)に沈んで見える。
【0099】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体54を目視する方向をX方向(図33参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像57を目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置される画素7の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、各画素行15上に配置される画素55の並びの各画素55が該画素55の中心を支点として基本画素58から順に同じ回転角を累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているため、虚像57が、図36の(a)に示すように、目視する位置を移動させた方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素55の回転に合わせて該虚像57の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0100】
次に、虚像現出装飾体54を目視する方向を変更してY方向(図33参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、図33に示すように、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12が画素行となり、画素行15が画素列となり、基準画素列11が基準画素行となり、基準画素行14が基準画素列となり、平凸レンズ状集光素列13が平凸レンズ状集光素行となり、平凸レンズ状集光素行16が平凸レンズ状集光素列となり、画素行15であった画素列と平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列及び画素列12であった画素行と平凸レンズ状集光素列13であった平凸レンズ状集光素行は、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12と平凸レンズ状集光素列13及び画素行15と平凸レンズ状集光素行16の位置関係と同様の位置関係にあるので、図3の(b)に示すように、画素55の形状を変形した拡大された虚像59が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の奥(下方)であって前記虚像57の高さ位置よりも下方の高さ位置に深く沈んで見える。

なお、虚像現出装飾体54をX方向から目視した場合に現出する虚像57(図3の(a)参照)よりもY方向から目視した場合に現出する虚像59(図3の(b)参照)の方が下方の高さ位置に深く沈んで現出するのは、X方向から目視した場合において、基準画素列11を中心として一定距離にある平凸レンズ状集光素列13に対応する画素列12が該平凸レンズ状集光素列13に対してずれる幅よりも、基準画素行14を中心として一定距離にある平凸レンズ状集光素行16に対応する画素行15が該平凸レンズ状集光素行16に対してずれる幅の方が小さいためである。
【0102】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体54を目視する方向をY方向(図33参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像59を目視する位置を前記画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素55の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、当該画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素55の並びの各画素55が該画素55の中心を支点として基本画素58から順に同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているので、虚像59が、図36の(b)に示すように、目視する位置を移動させた方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素55の回転に合わせて該虚像59の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。

なお、本実施の形態おいては、透明フィルム6と該透明フィルム6に形成された画素55とを合わせて画素層51という。
【0107】
画素層61は、図37に示すように、パーソナルコンピュータにて編集処理アプリケーションを用いて、横方向の画素55のピッチを平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数から所定線数引いた近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチとし、縦方向の画素55のピッチを平凸レンズ状集光素層3を形成した紗体の線数から前記所定線数を超える線数引いた近い線数からなる紗体を形成する紗線によってできる升目を単位として該升目のピッチと同一ピッチとして画素55を多数整列させた画素配置とした外は、前記実施の形態1と同様にして編集処理を施した画素配置を得た後、前記実施の形態1と同様にして透明フィルム6に各画素55を出力して形成してなるものである。
【0108】
本実施の形態に係る虚像現出装飾体60をX方向(図37参照)から目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、X方向に対して平行な基準画素列11と等距離にある一組の他の画素列12,12が該各他の画素列12,12に対応する平凸レンズ状集光素列13,13に対して基準画素列11を中心軸として外側へ向かってずれていると共に、基準画素列11より外側の他の画素列12,12ほどずれる幅が大きくなっているので、図39の(a)に示すように、画素55の形状を変形した拡大された虚像62が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)に浮いて見える。
【0109】
さらに、虚像現出装飾体60を目視する方向をX方向(37参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像62を目視する位置を各画素行15上に配置された画素55の並び(一方画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、各画素行15上に配置される画素55の並びの各画素55が該画素55の中心を支点として基本画素58から順に同じ回転角を累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているため、虚像62が、図40の(a)に示すように、目視する位置を移動させた方向と反対方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素55の回転に合わせて該虚像62の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。
【0110】
次に、虚像現出装飾体60を目視する方向を変更してY方向(図37参照)か目視した状態で目視する位置を基準画素10の真上に固定して目視した場合には、図37に示すように、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12が画素行となり、画素行15が画素列となり、基準画素列11が基準画素行となり、基準画素行14が基準画素列となり、平凸レンズ状集光素列13が平凸レンズ状集光素行となり、平凸レンズ状集光素行16が平凸レンズ状集光素列となり、画素行15であった画素列と平凸レンズ状集光素行16であった平凸レンズ状集光素列及び画素列12であった画素行と平凸レンズ状集光素列13であった平凸レンズ状集光素行は、X方向より目視した場合における画素列12と平凸レンズ状集光素列13及び画素行15と平凸レンズ状集光素行16の位置関係と同様の位置関係にあるので、図39の(b)に示すように、画素55の形状を変形した拡大された虚像63が基準画素10を中心として平凸レンズ状集光素層3の手前(上方)であって前記虚像62の高さ位置よりも下方の高さ位置に浮いて見える。

さらに、虚像現出装飾体60を目視する方向をY方向(図37参照)に保持した状態で前記虚像63を目視する位置を前記画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素55の並び(一方の画素の並び)に対して略平行に移動させた場合には、当該画素行15であった各画素列上に配置される画素55の並びの各画素55が該画素55の中心を支点として基本画素58から順に同じ回転角θを累積する回転パターンにて一方向に回転するように形成されているので、虚像63が、図40の(b)に示すように、目視する位置を移動させた方向と反対方向に僅かに移動しながら移動する方向に位置する各画素55の回転に合わせて該虚像63の中心を支点として回転するように動いて見える。

The “virtual image display decoration” published in the gazette is being developed.
[0003]
The decorative body of the point drawing pattern using the moire phenomenon described in the above-mentioned JP-A-10-35083 is a regular arrangement of hemispherical or arc-shaped plano-convex lens-like light condensing elements on a transparent substrate surface at a constant fine pitch.

Printed on the transparent substrate or a substrate separate from the transparent substrate and printed with colored pixels having the same shape as the plano-convex lens-like light condensing element or different shapes and the same arrangement state. By shifting and pasting together, the enlarged image exhibits a sense of fluctuation due to the moire phenomenon when the pixel appears as a magnified image having a stereoscopic effect when viewed from the surface and the viewpoint is moved (hereinafter referred to as “first”). Conventional product ”).
[0004]
In addition, the virtual image display decorative body disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-55000 is a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element formed by arranging a large number of plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements of the same shape and size. And a transparent substrate layer laminated under the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer, and a pixel formed by aligning a number of pixels of the same shape and size laminated under the transparent substrate layer vertically and horizontally Each of the plano-convex lens-like light condensing elements and each pixel is completely overlapped at the top and bottom, and other pixels that are equidistant from the overlapping pixels are connected to the other pixels. With respect to the corresponding plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element, the pixels that are overlapped are radially shifted from the center toward the outside or the inside with the same width, and the width that is shifted toward the pixels outside the center pixel is larger. Plano-convex lens-shaped condensing so that And an enlarged virtual image having the same shape as the shape of the pixel appears above or below the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer with the overlapping pixel as a center. (Hereinafter referred to as “second conventional product”).
[0005]
Another virtual image display decorative body disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-55000 is a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer formed by arranging a large number of plano-convex lens-shaped condensing elements having the same shape and the same size. And the transparent substrate layer laminated under the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer and the pixels of the same shape and size laminated under the transparent substrate layer are sequentially accumulated in the same column at the same inclination angle. It is composed of a pixel layer formed by arranging a large number of vertical and horizontal lines so as to incline in the same direction in an inclined pattern, and at least one set of each plano-convex lens-like light condensing element and each pixel is completely above and below And other pixels at positions corresponding to other plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing elements that are equidistant on a diagonal line centering on the overlapping plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing elements.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the second conventional product and the third conventional product, a magnified virtual image of a pixel that was accidentally discovered from among a large number of sample decorative bodies produced and the back of the transparent substrate (below) ) The plano-convex lens-like condensing in the second conventional product and the third conventional product was completed based on the empirical law obtained as a result of investigating the difference between the decorative body appearing to sink and the first conventional product. The exact optical theory about the phenomenon in which a virtual image appears above or below the underlying layer has not yet been elucidated.
[0008]
Therefore, it is impossible to predict a virtual image appearing from a virtual image appearing decorative body that deviates from the empirical law, and in order to confirm a virtual image appearing from the virtual image presenting decorative body, There was no way other than actually creating a virtual image display decoration.
[0009]
Comparing the second conventional product and the third conventional product, the pixel arrangement of the pixel layer in the third conventional product is the same pixel arrangement as the pixel arrangement of the pixel layer in the second conventional product, with pixel rows or pixel columns as units. It has been subjected to editing processing with regularity, and the virtual image appearing in the second conventional product and the virtual image appearing in the third conventional product are different in shape, etc. Since it is judged that there is some causal relationship between the pixel arrangement and the appearing virtual image, the present inventors applied the pixel arrangement in the vertical and horizontal alignment when forming the pixel layer in the third conventional product. If the editing process in units of pixel rows or pixel columns is changed to an editing process in units of one pixel, a pixel layer having a new pixel arrangement can be formed. Possibility of obtaining a virtual image display decorative body that displays a virtual image This has led to the decision and that.
[0010]
In order to develop a new virtual image display decorative body, the present inventors have made various images that have been subjected to editing processing with various regularities in units of one pixel in a pixel arrangement arranged in many vertical and horizontal directions. Various kinds of pixel layers are actually created by outputting data to each transparent film, and various kinds of layers are formed by laminating a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer formed by aligning a large number of elements in various directions. A transparent substrate layer is created, a test for confirming a virtual image that appears by overlapping each pixel layer and each transparent substrate layer, and a virtual image that appears by shifting the superimposed pixel layer and the transparent substrate layer. After repeated tests to confirm, the pixel layer composed of image data that had been processed with certain regularity was superimposed on the transparent substrate layer formed under certain specific conditions. From the virtual image appearance decoration formed at the time Virtual image is noticed by chance to move the moving the position viewing the 該虚 image.
[0011]
Furthermore, as a result of examining in detail the positional relationship between each pixel of the pixel layer and each plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element on the transparent substrate, the present inventors have determined that the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element has the same shape and size. A transparent substrate layer formed by laminating plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layers formed by aligning a plurality of layers in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a casing having a line number close to the number of lines of the casing on which the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layers are formed. A pixel arrangement of a large number of pixels aligned vertically and horizontally at the same pitch as the grid formed by the grid formed by the grid forming the grid is arranged on each pixel row using an editing processing application in a personal computer. Arrangement of pixels arranged in either one of the arrangement of pixels or arrangement of pixels arranged on each pixel column, and arrangement of the other pixels arranged on a reference line orthogonal to the arrangement of the one pixel Each pixel or base Rotating in one direction with a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated in order from the basic pixel, with the other pixels arranged in the vicinity of the line as the basic pixel being the basic pixel, that is, the one pixel Rotation angle θ of the first pixel that is the pixel adjacent to the basic pixel in the array 1 Becomes θ, and the rotation angle θ of the second pixel 2 Is 2θ, and hereinafter, the rotation angle θ of the nth pixel similarly n A pixel layer having a pixel arrangement subjected to an editing process that is rotated so as to be nθ, and at least one pair of the plano-convex lens-like light condensing elements and the pixels overlaps each other at the top and bottom, and the overlapping pixels A set of other pixel columns equidistant from the pixel column including the pixel column including the overlapping pixel with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element column corresponding to the other pixel column, A set of other sets that are displaced inward and have a larger width that is shifted toward the outer side of the pixel column that includes the overlapping pixels, and that are equidistant from the pixel row that includes the overlapping pixels. The pixel row is shifted outward or inward with the pixel row including the overlapping pixel as a central axis with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row corresponding to the other pixel row, and the overlapping pixel Outside the pixel row containing In the virtual image display decorative body that is laminated so that the width of the pixel row is shifted, the enlarged virtual image obtained by deforming the shape of the pixel has the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer centered on the overlapping pixel. The present invention has been completed with the remarkable knowledge that the virtual image moves upward or downward and the virtual image moves in accordance with the rotation pattern of each of the arranged pixels when the viewing position is moved.

[0023]
As shown in FIG. 1, the virtual image display decorative body 1 according to the present embodiment is formed by aligning a large number of plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing elements 2 having the same shape and the same size that play the role of a convex lens. A plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3, a transparent substrate layer 5 composed of a transparent substrate 4 laminated under the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3, and a transparent film 6 in which a large number of pixels 7 are aligned vertically and horizontally. As shown in FIG. 2, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8 have the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and the pixel 7 overlapping most in the vertical direction. A set of other pixel columns 12, 12 having a set of the reference condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 and being equidistant from the reference pixel column 11 including the reference pixel 10 is the other pixel column 12, 12. With respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 13 and 13 with the reference pixel row 11 as the central axis A set of other pixel rows that are displaced toward the reference pixel row 12, have a width that is shifted by about 12, 12 outside the reference pixel column 11, and is equidistant from the reference pixel row 14 that includes the reference pixel 10. 15 and 15 are the same as the shift width in the pixel columns 12 and 12 with the reference pixel row 14 as the center axis with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 16 and 16 corresponding to the other pixel rows 15 and 15. The pixels are arranged so as to be shifted by the shift width and to be widened by the pixel rows 15 and 15 outside the reference pixel row 14.
[0024]
In the present embodiment, the transparent film 6 and the pixels 7 formed on the transparent film 6 are collectively referred to as a pixel layer 8.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 3, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed by using a transparent ink having a good thickness to form a saddle A (in FIG. 3, It can be easily formed by printing one plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 in one cell with the cell formed by the one-dot chain line as a unit.
[0026]
When the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed by screen printing, a case satisfying 10 ≦ number of lines ≦ 70 may be used. If the number of lines of the case is less than 10 and exceeds 70, the plano-convex lens It is difficult to form.
[0027]
The transparent substrate 4 may be made of synthetic resin, and may be either hard or soft. In the case of a hard material, a material having a thickness of 1 mm to 5 mm is suitable for handling, and in the case of a soft material, a material having a thickness of 0.5 mm to 2 mm is suitable for handling. Moreover, as long as it has transparency, it may be colored. Specifically, a transparent synthetic resin plate or transparent film such as polycarbonate, polyester, acrylic, or polyvinyl chloride may be used. When the transparent substrate 4 is thicker than 5.0 mm, the image that appears is blurred and the color tends to be light. On the contrary, when it is thinner than 0.5 mm, it feels flat and the virtual image tends not to be observed. The transparent substrate 4 is not limited to a synthetic resin, and may be a glass plate.
[0028]
As shown in FIG. 2, the pixel layer 8 has, as a unit, a grid formed by a grid forming a grid having a number of lines less than the number of lines of the grid on which the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed. A pixel arrangement in which a large number of pixels 7 are aligned vertically and horizontally at the same pitch as the pitch is arranged using an editing processing application on a personal computer, as shown in FIG. Each pixel 7 of the pixel 7 array (the other pixel array) arranged on the pixel column 12 positioned on the reference line 17 orthogonal to the pixel array is defined as a basic pixel 18 on each pixel row 15. Each pixel 7 in the array of arranged pixels 7 is arranged in a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated with the center of the pixel 7 (intersection of pixel row and pixel column in FIG. 4) as a fulcrum in order from the basic pixel 18. To rotate in the direction, ie, each pixel row 15 Rotation angle of the neighboring pixels is one second pixel 7 of the basic pixel 18 in the arrangement of pixels 7 arranged in the θ 1 Becomes θ, and the rotation angle θ of the second pixel 7 2 Is 2θ, and similarly, the rotation angle θ of the nth pixel 7 will be described below. n After obtaining the image data of the pixel arrangement that has undergone editing processing to rotate so that becomes nθ, the image data is transferred to a personal computer using an output processing application, and the transferred image data is converted into image data After performing arithmetic processing using the arithmetic processing application, the image is transferred to an image setter, and each pixel 7 is formed on the transparent film 6 by an automatic processor.
[0029]
The grid pitch refers to a distance from an arbitrary position in the grid formed by a one-dot chain line shown in FIG. 3 to the same position as the arbitrary position of the grid adjacent to the grid.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 5A, the virtual image display decoration body 1 according to the present embodiment is fixed to the position immediately above the reference pixel 10 when viewed from the X direction (see FIG. 2). When viewing with one eye at a time, as shown in FIG. 2, a set of other pixel columns 12, 12 that are equidistant from the reference pixel column 11 parallel to the X direction 12 and 12 are shifted outward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 13 and 13 with the reference pixel row 11 as the central axis, and other pixel rows 12 and 12 outside the reference pixel row 11. Since the unwinding width is large, the image 20 (see FIG. 6A) viewed when viewed with the left eye 19 is shifted to the left (see FIG. 6B) when viewed with the right eye 21. Also, the image 22 (see FIG. 7A) seen when viewed with the right eye 21 is the left eye. When visually 9 is shifted to the right (see FIG. 7 (b)). That is, when comparing the positional relationship between an image 20 that is visible when the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 is viewed only with the left eye 19 and an image 22 that is viewed when only the right eye 21 is viewed, as shown in FIG. The images 20 and 22 appear so as to intersect with each other, and the enlarged cross-shaped virtual image 23 in which the shape of the pixel 7 is deformed is flattened around the reference pixel 10 due to the displacement of the images 20 and 22. It appears to float in front of (above) the convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3.
[0031]
Further, the position of viewing the virtual image 23 in a state where the direction in which the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 is viewed is held in the X direction (see FIG. 2) is an array of pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel). Of the pixels 7 arranged on the corresponding pixel row 15 is moved in a direction substantially parallel to the viewing direction (X direction). Each pixel 7 in the array is formed so as to rotate in one direction with a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated in order from the basic pixel 18 with the center of the pixel 7 as a fulcrum. When moving in the Y direction (see FIG. 2), the virtual image 23 moves slightly in the direction opposite to the Y direction (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8A) as shown in FIG. 8A. The center of the virtual image 23 is supported in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction. When the position where the virtual image 23 is viewed is moved in a direction opposite to the Y direction (see FIG. 2), the virtual image 23 is slightly in the Y direction as shown in FIG. It appears to move so as to rotate about the center of the virtual image 23 as a fulcrum in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction while moving in the direction of the arrow (in FIG. 8B, the arrow direction).
[0032]
Note that the virtual image 23 slightly moves when the viewing position is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8, and the reference A set of other pixel columns 12, 12 equidistant from the pixel column 11 is centered on the reference pixel column 11 with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element columns 13, 13 corresponding to the other pixel columns 12, 12. This is because the axis is shifted outward and the width of the other pixel columns 12 and 12 outside the reference pixel column 11 is increased.
[0033]
Next, when the viewing direction of the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 is changed and viewed from the Y direction (see FIG. 2), the viewing position is fixed directly above the reference pixel 10 and viewed. 2, when viewed from the X direction, the pixel column 12 is a pixel row, the pixel row 15 is a pixel column, the reference pixel column 11 is a reference pixel row, the reference pixel row 14 is a reference pixel column, The convex lens-shaped condensing element row 13 becomes a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row, and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 becomes a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row. The pixel rows that were the plano-convex lens-like condensing element column and the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 are the same as the pixel row 12 and the flat when viewed from the X direction. Convex lens-shaped condensing element column 13 and pixel row 15 and flat Since the positional relationship is the same as the positional relationship of the lens-shaped condensing element rows 16, the enlarged cross-shaped virtual image 24 obtained by modifying the shape of the pixel 7 is centered on the reference pixel 10 as shown in FIG. As if it floats in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3.
[0034]
Furthermore, the position where the virtual image 24 is viewed in the state where the virtual image display decorative body 1 is viewed in the Y direction (see FIG. 2) is the pixel row arranged on each pixel column which is the pixel row 15. When moved approximately parallel to the alignment (alignment of one pixel), ,Eye When moved in a direction substantially parallel to the viewing direction (Y direction), each pixel 7 in the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel column that is the pixel row 15 is sequentially moved from the basic pixel 18. Since the center of the pixel 7 is used as a fulcrum to rotate in one direction with a rotation pattern that accumulates the same rotation angle θ, the position at which the virtual image 24 is viewed is moved in the Y direction (see FIG. 2). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9A, each pixel located in the direction in which the virtual image 23 moves while slightly moving in the direction opposite to the Y direction (the arrow direction in FIG. 9A). When the position where the virtual image 24 is viewed in the direction opposite to the Y direction (see FIG. 2) is moved in accordance with the rotation of FIG. 9 (b), slightly in the Y direction (in FIG. 9 (b), the arrow Moving the center of 該虚 image 24 in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 7 located in a direction to move while moving direction) for rotation fulcrum look.
[0035]
Note that the virtual image 24 slightly moves when the viewing position is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8, and the pixel The pixel column that was the row 15 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16, and the pixel row that was the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like collection that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 This is because the optical element rows are in the same positional relationship as the pixel column 12 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 and the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 when viewed from the X direction.
[0036]
Further, the pixel column 12 gradually shifts with respect to the plano-convex lens-like light condensing element row 13 and the pixel row 15 gradually shifts with respect to the plano-convex lens-like light condensing element row 16, so that the reference light condensing element 9. The pixel 7 and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 again overlap each other at a predetermined interval from the set consisting of the reference pixel 10 and the overlapping pixel 7 (reference pixel 10) and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 (reference collection). A photon 9) is formed.
[0037]
Therefore, when a plurality of reference pixels 10 are formed at regular intervals on the virtual image display decorative body 1 and a plurality of virtual images 23 and 24 appear around each reference pixel 10, the virtual images 23 and 24 are displayed. When the viewing position is moved, the virtual images 23 and 24 appear to move so as to rotate for each virtual image 23 and 24.
[0038]
The shape of the pixel 7 is not limited to a cross shape, and any shape such as a quadrangle, a star shape, a heart shape, a character shape, or a shadow shape can be adopted.
[0039]
The pixel layer 8 may be a film in which pixels are formed by photolithography, and can also be formed by screen printing, offset printing, and letterpress printing. Further, the pixel 7 may be output by a color printer.
[0040]
The rotation angle θ is a value determined by the thickness and material of the transparent substrate 4, the number of lines forming the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3, and the number of lines forming the pixel layer 8, but 0.1 ≦ rotation It is preferable to appropriately select from the angle θ ≦ 15.0.
[0041]
Specifically, for example, when the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 is printed on the surface of a soft transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 1 mm in a housing of 35 lines, Each pixel 7 aligned at the grid pitch of the frame satisfying the number of lines 34.1 was rotated at a rotation angle satisfying 0.2 ≦ rotation angle θ ≦ 15.0 (for example, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 15.0). A pixel layer 8 having a pixel arrangement may be formed. When the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 is printed on a surface of a hard transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 1 mm in a housing having a line number of 45. Is a rotation angle satisfying 0.5 ≦ rotation angle θ ≦ 15.0 (for example, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 15.0) for each pixel 7 aligned on the transparent film 6 at a pitch of the lattice of the frame satisfying a line number of 40 The pixel layer 8 having the pixel arrangement rotated in the above is formed, and the surface of the soft transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 0.5 mm is flattened in a 70-line frame. When the lens-shaped light condensing element 2 is printed, the rotation angle satisfying 0.5 ≦ rotation angle θ ≦ 5.0 for each pixel 7 aligned on the transparent film 6 with the pitch of the grid of the casing satisfying the number of lines 45. A pixel layer 8 having a pixel arrangement rotated at (for example, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0) may be formed, and a 10-line frame is formed on the surface of the hard transparent substrate 4 (transparent substrate layer 5) having a thickness of 5 mm. When the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 is printed, the pixels 7 aligned on the transparent film 6 with the pitch of the grids satisfying the number of lines 8 satisfy 0.5 ≦ rotation angle θ ≦ 5.0. A pixel layer 8 having a pixel arrangement rotated at a rotation angle (for example, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0) may be formed.

FIG. In these drawings, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 9 denote the same or corresponding parts.
[0044]
Modified Example 1: As shown in FIG. 10A, the pixel layer according to the modified example has a pixel arrangement in which a large number of triangular pixels 25 are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Then, using the editing processing application, each pixel 25 in the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel arrangement) is a pixel located on the reference line 17 as in the first embodiment. Each pixel 25 in the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on the column 12 (the arrangement of the other pixel) is set as a basic pixel 26, and the center of gravity of the pixel 25 in order from the basic pixel 26 (in FIG. The pixel 25 is rotated in one direction with a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated with the intersection of the pixel columns as a fulcrum, and each pixel 25 in the array of pixels 25 (one pixel array) arranged on each pixel row 15. The size of is on the reference line 17 The arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on the pixel row 12 is set as an arrangement of the one pixel 25 so that the arrangement of the other pixels 25 farther away from the arrangement of the one pixel 25 and the arranged pixels 25 becomes smaller. After obtaining the image data of the pixel arrangement subjected to the editing process, each pixel 25 is output and formed on the transparent film 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
[0045]
In this modification, the arrangement of the pixels 25 arranged on the pixel line 12 located on the reference line 17 is selected as the arrangement of one pixel, but the arrangement on the pixel line 12 located on the reference line 17 is selected. Not only the arrangement of the pixels 25 to be arranged, but also an arbitrary pixel arrangement can be selected.
[0046]
When the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 in which the pixel layers according to the present modification are stacked is visually observed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. The substantially triangular virtual image 27 appears to float in front (upper) of the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center with the pixel 25 rotated up and down and left and right reversed. Further, as in the first embodiment, the viewing position with the viewing direction maintained is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of pixels 25 (one pixel arrangement) arranged on each pixel row 15. In this case, the virtual image 27 rotates with the center of gravity of the virtual image 27 as a fulcrum in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 25 positioned in the moving direction while moving slightly in the direction opposite to the direction in which the viewing position is moved. Seems to move.
[0047]
The reason why the virtual image 27 appears in a state where the vertical and horizontal directions are reversed with respect to the rotated pixel 25 is that the shape of the rotated pixel 25 with respect to the center of the pixel 25 is shown in FIG. The plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 that is not point-symmetric and is located below the reference pixel row 14 overlaps with the upper portion of the pixel 25 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, and the reference pixel row Since the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned above 14 overlaps the lower portion of the pixel 25 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, the plano-convex lens shape positioned below the reference pixel row 14 The light condensing element 2 plays a role of making the upper part of the pixel 25 appear, and the plano-convex lens-like light condensing element 2 located above the reference pixel row 14 plays a role of making the lower part of the pixel 25 appear, In addition, the plano-convex layer located on the right side of the reference pixel row The right-shaped condensing element 2 overlaps the left side portion of the pixel 25 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the left side of the reference pixel row 11 is shaped like the plano-convex lens. Since it overlaps with the right side portion of the pixel 25 corresponding to the light condensing element 2, the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 located on the right side of the reference pixel row 11 plays a role of exposing the left side portion of the pixel 25, and the reference This is because the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the left side of the pixel row 11 plays a role of causing the right side portion of the pixel 25 to appear.
[0048]
In addition, when a large number of reference pixels 10 are formed when the pixel layer according to the present modification is laminated on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer, the size of each pixel 25 formed in the pixel layer is the same as that described above. Since the pixels arranged in a row of the other pixels 25 farther away from the arrangement of the pixels 25 are smaller, the position away from the arrangement of the one pixel 25 as shown in FIG. The virtual image 27 appearing with the reference pixel 10 formed in the center becomes smaller. And if the position which visually observes the virtual image 27 is moved like the said Embodiment 1, each virtual image 27 will seem to move so that it may rotate for every virtual image 27. FIG.
[0049]
Modified Example 2: As shown in FIG. 11A, the pixel layer according to this modified example has a pixel arrangement in which a large number of fish-shaped pixels 28 are aligned in the vertical and horizontal directions as in the first embodiment. In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the pixels 28 in the arrangement of the pixels 28 arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel arrangement) are positioned on the reference line 17 using the editing processing application. One point at a position spaced apart from the fish-shaped pixel 28 in order from the basic pixel 29 with each pixel 28 of the arrangement of the pixels 28 arranged on the pixel row 12 (the other pixel arrangement) as a basic pixel 29, That is, after obtaining image data of a pixel arrangement subjected to editing processing so as to be rotated in one direction with a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated with a point outside the pixel 28 as a fulcrum, the first embodiment is obtained. As transparent The Irumu 6 are those obtained by forming and outputs each pixel 28.
[0050]
When the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 in which the pixel layers according to this modification are stacked is viewed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the enlarged shape of the pixel 28 is deformed as shown in FIG. The fish-shaped virtual image 30 appears to float in front of (above) the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center in a state where the upper and lower sides and the left and right sides of the pixel 28 are reversed. Further, as in the first embodiment, the viewing position with the viewing direction maintained is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of the pixels 28 arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel arrangement). In the case where the virtual image 30 is moved, the virtual image 30 is moved away from the virtual image 30 at a predetermined interval in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 30 positioned in the moving direction while moving slightly in the direction opposite to the moving direction. A certain point, that is, one point outside the virtual image 30, appears to move to rotate.
[0051]
It should be noted that the virtual image 30 appears in a state where the vertical and horizontal directions are reversed with respect to the pixel 28 because the shape of the pixel 28 is not point-symmetric with respect to the center of the pixel 28 as shown in FIG. In addition, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located below the reference pixel row 14 overlaps with the upper portion (back fin portion) of the pixel 28 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, and the reference pixel row Since the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned above 14 overlaps the lower part (antinode) of the pixel 28 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, the position is positioned below the reference pixel row 14. The plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 plays a role of making the upper portion of the pixel 28 appear, and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located above the reference pixel row 14 makes the lower portion of the pixel 28 appear. It plays a role and is located on the right side of the reference pixel row 11 The plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 overlaps the left side portion (head portion) of the pixel 28 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and is located on the left side of the reference pixel row 11. Is overlapped with the right side portion (tail portion) of the pixel 28 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, so that the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the right side of the reference pixel row 11 This is because the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the left side of the reference pixel row 11 plays a role of causing the right side portion of the pixel 28 to appear.
[0052]
Also in this modified example, when the position to be visually observed is moved when a plurality of virtual images 30 appear, each virtual image 30 appears to move so as to rotate for each virtual image 30.
[0053]
Modified Example 3: As shown in FIG. 12, the pixel layer according to the modified example is a personal computer that edits a pixel arrangement in which a large number of keyhole-shaped pixels 31 are aligned in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Using the application, each pixel 31 in the arrangement of the pixels 31 (one pixel arrangement) arranged on each pixel row 15 is placed on the pixel column 12 positioned on the reference line 17 as in the first embodiment. From the center of the circular portion of the keyhole-shaped pixel 31 in order from the basic pixel 32, that is, from the center of the entire pixel 31, each pixel 31 in the array of the pixels 31 arranged in (the other pixel array) is a basic pixel 32. A pixel that has been subjected to editing processing so as to be rotated in one direction with a rotation pattern that accumulates the same rotation angle θ with a point at an offset position (the intersection of a pixel row and a pixel column in FIG. 12A) as a fulcrum Obtained the image data of the arrangement , Those obtained by forming and outputs each pixel 31 in the transparent film 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
[0054]
When the virtual image appearing decorative body 1 in which the pixel layers according to this modification are stacked is viewed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, an enlarged keyhole-shaped virtual image obtained by modifying the shape of the pixel 31 as shown in FIG. It appears to float in front (upper) of the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center with the pixel 31 having the rotation 33 turned upside down. Further, as in the first embodiment, the viewing position with the viewing direction maintained is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of the pixels 31 arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel arrangement). In this case, the virtual image 33 is supported at the center of the circular portion of the virtual image 33 in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 31 located in the moving direction while moving slightly in the direction opposite to the direction in which the viewing position is moved. As it moves to rotate.
[0055]
Note that the virtual image 33 appears in a state where the top, bottom, left and right are reversed with respect to the rotated pixel 31, as shown in FIG. 12, the shape of the rotated pixel 31 is point-symmetric with respect to the center of the pixel 31. In addition, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned below the reference pixel row 14 overlaps with the upper part (the part protruding from the circular part) of the pixel 31 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2. At the same time, the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2 positioned above the reference pixel row 14 overlaps the lower portion (circular portion) of the pixel 31 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped light condensing element 2. The plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned on the lower side plays a role of exposing the upper portion of the pixel 31, and the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned on the upper side of the reference pixel row 14 is located on the lower side of the pixel 31. It plays the role of revealing the part, and the standard picture The plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 positioned on the right side of the column 11 overlaps with the left side portion of the pixel 31 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and is located on the left side of the reference pixel column 11. Since the photoelement 2 overlaps the right side portion of the pixel 31 corresponding to the plano-convex lens-like condensing element 2, the plano-convex lens-like condensing element 2 positioned on the right side of the reference pixel row 11 displays the left side portion of the pixel 31. This is because the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 located on the left side of the reference pixel row 11 plays a role of causing the right side portion of the pixel 31 to appear.
[0056]
Also in this modified example, when the position to be visually observed is moved when a plurality of virtual images 33 appear, each virtual image 33 appears to move so as to rotate for each virtual image 33.

In these drawings, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 13 denote the same or corresponding parts.
[0059]
As shown in FIG. 14, the virtual image display decorative body 34 according to the present embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in which the transparent substrate layer 5 including the transparent substrate 4 and the surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 are laminated. The plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed by printing the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and a pixel layer 8 in which a number of pixels 7 stacked on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 are aligned vertically and horizontally. As shown in FIG. 15, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8 are composed of a reference condensing element 9 and a reference pixel 10 in which the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and the pixel 7 overlap most vertically. A pair of other pixel columns 12, 12 that are equidistant from the reference pixel column 11 including the reference pixel 10, and that corresponds to the other pixel columns 12, 12. 13 and 13, the reference pixel column 11 is shifted inward with the central axis as the center axis, and the reference A set of other pixel rows 15, 15 that are wider than the pixel columns 12, 12 outside the elementary column 11 and that are equidistant from the reference pixel row 14 including the reference pixel 10 are the other pixel rows. The plano-convex lens-like light condensing element rows 16 and 15 corresponding to 15 and 15 are shifted inwardly with the same shift width as the shift width in the pixel columns 12 and 12 inward with the reference pixel row 14 as the central axis. The pixel rows 15 and 15 outside the pixel row 14 are arranged so as to have a larger width.
[0060]
As shown in FIG. 15, the pixel layer 8 has, as a unit, a grid formed by a grid forming a grid having a number of lines exceeding the number of lines of the grid on which the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed. As shown in FIG. 16, a pixel arrangement in which a large number of pixels are arranged vertically and horizontally with a cross-shaped pixel 7 slightly tilted at the same pitch as the pitch is displayed on each pixel row 15 as shown in FIG. Each pixel 7 in the arrangement of pixels 7 (an arrangement of other pixels) arranged on the pixel column 12 located closest to the reference line 17 orthogonal to the arrangement of the pixels 7 to be arranged (one pixel arrangement) Except for the basic pixel 18, after obtaining image data of a pixel arrangement subjected to editing processing in the same manner as in the first embodiment, each pixel is formed on the back surface of the transparent substrate layer 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. 7 is output and formed.
[0061]
As shown in FIG. 17A, the virtual image display decorative body 34 according to the present embodiment is fixed at a position directly above the reference pixel 10 when viewed from the X direction (see FIG. 15). When viewing with one eye at a time, as shown in FIG. 15, a set of other pixel columns 12 and 12 that are equidistant from the reference pixel column 11 parallel to the X direction 12 and 12 are shifted inward with respect to the reference pixel column 11 as the central axis with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element columns 13 and 13, and other pixel columns 12 and 12 outside the reference pixel column 11. Since the unwinding width is large, the image 35 (see FIG. 18A) viewed when viewed with the left eye 19 is shifted rightward (see FIG. 18B) when viewed with the right eye 21. Also, an image 36 (as shown in FIG. When the reference) was visually by the left eye 19 is shifted leftward reference ((b in FIG. 19)). That is, when comparing the positional relationship between the image 35 that is visible when the virtual-image appearing decoration body 34 is viewed with only the left eye 19 and the image 36 that is viewed when only the right eye 21 is viewed, as shown in FIG. The images 35 and 36 appear so as not to intersect each other, and an enlarged cruciform virtual image 37 in which the shape of the pixel 7 is deformed is flattened around the reference pixel 10 due to the deviation of the images 35 and 36. It appears to sink in the back (downward) of the convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3.
[0062]
Furthermore, the direction in which the virtual image display decorative body 34 is viewed is X When the position where the virtual image 37 is viewed while being held in the direction (see FIG. 15) is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel arrangement) ( In FIG. 17 (b), each pixel 7 in the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel row 15 is rotated so that the same rotation angle θ is accumulated in order from the basic pixel 18 with the center of the pixel 7 as a fulcrum. Since the pattern is formed so as to rotate in one direction, when the position where the virtual image 37 is viewed is moved in the Y direction (see FIG. 15), the virtual image 37 is as shown in FIG. Slightly moves to rotate around the center of the virtual image 37 in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 7 located in the direction of movement while moving in the Y direction (arrow direction in FIG. 20A), The position at which the virtual image 37 is viewed is in the direction opposite to the Y direction (see FIG. 15). When moved, each pixel located in the direction in which the virtual image 37 moves while slightly moving in the direction opposite to the Y direction (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 20B), as shown in FIG. 7 appears to move with the center of the virtual image 37 as a fulcrum.

Note that the virtual image 37 slightly moves when the viewing position is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8, and the reference A set of other pixel columns 12, 12 equidistant from the pixel column 11 is centered on the reference pixel column 11 with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element columns 13, 13 corresponding to the other pixel columns 12, 12. This is because the axis is displaced inward and the width of the other pixel columns 12 and 12 outside the reference pixel column 11 is increased.
[0064]
Next, when the viewing position of the virtual image appearing decorative body 34 is changed and viewed from the Y direction (see FIG. 15), the viewing position is fixed directly above the reference pixel 10. 15, when viewed from the X direction, the pixel column 12 is a pixel row, the pixel row 15 is a pixel column, the reference pixel column 11 is a reference pixel row, the reference pixel row 14 is a reference pixel column, The convex lens-shaped condensing element row 13 becomes a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row, and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 becomes a plano-convex lens-like condensing element row. The pixel rows that were the plano-convex lens-like condensing element column and the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 are the same as the pixel row 12 and the flat when viewed from the X direction. Convex lens-shaped condensing element column 13 and pixel row 1 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17A, an enlarged cross-shaped virtual image 38 obtained by modifying the shape of the pixel 7 is the reference pixel 10. And sinks in the back (downward) of the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3.
[0065]
Further, the pixel 7 arranged on each pixel column that is the pixel row 15 has a position where the virtual image 38 is viewed with the direction in which the virtual image appearing decorative body 34 is viewed in the Y direction (see FIG. 15) being held. When the pixel 7 is moved substantially parallel to the pixel row (one pixel row), each pixel 7 in the row of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel column corresponding to the pixel row 15 is moved from the basic pixel 18. In order to rotate in one direction with a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated with the center of the pixel 7 as a fulcrum in order, the position where the virtual image 38 is viewed is moved in the Y direction (see FIG. 15). Then, as shown in FIG. 21A, the virtual image 38 is slightly rotated in the Y direction (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 21A) while moving along with the rotation of each pixel 7 positioned in the moving direction. It seems to move to rotate around the center of the virtual image 38 When the position at which the virtual image 38 is viewed is moved in the direction opposite to the Y direction (see FIG. 15), the virtual image 38 is slightly opposite to the Y direction (see (b) in FIG. 21). ), While moving in the direction of the arrow), it appears to move so as to rotate around the center of the virtual image 38 in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction.
[0066]
Note that the virtual image 38 slightly moves when the viewing position is moved because the transparent substrate layer 5 is laminated between the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 8, and the pixel The pixel column that was the row 15 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16, and the pixel row that was the pixel row 12 and the plano-convex lens-like collection that was the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 This is because the optical element rows are in the same positional relationship as the pixel column 12 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 13 and the pixel row 15 and the plano-convex lens-like condensing element row 16 when viewed from the X direction.
[0067]
Also in the present embodiment, when the position to be viewed is moved when a plurality of virtual images 37 and 38 appear, the virtual images 37 and 38 appear to move so as to rotate for each virtual image 37 and 38.

[0086]
As shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B, the virtual image display decorative body 50 according to the present embodiment includes a transparent substrate layer 5 made of a transparent substrate 4, and the surface of the transparent substrate layer 5. In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed by printing the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2, and a large number of pixels 7 are aligned on the transparent film 6 so as to have different pitches in the vertical and horizontal directions. As shown in FIG. 30, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 and the pixel layer 51 are arranged so that the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element 2 and the pixel 7 are arranged vertically. A pair of other pixel columns 12, 12 having a set of the reference light condensing element 9 and the reference pixel 10 that overlap most and is equidistant from the reference pixel column 11 including the reference pixel 10 is the other pixel column 12. , 12 with respect to the plano-convex lens-like condensing element rows 13, 13, the reference pixel row 11 is A set of sets that are displaced inward as the central axis, have a width that is shifted by about 12, 12 outside the reference pixel column 11, and are equidistant from the reference pixel row 14 including the reference pixel 10. The other pixel rows 15 and 15 are shifted outward with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element rows 16 and 16 corresponding to the other pixel rows 15 and 15 with the reference pixel row 14 as the central axis, and the reference pixels The pixel rows 15 and 15 on the outer side of the row 14 are arranged so that the width shifted becomes larger.
[0087]
In the present embodiment, the transparent film 6 and the pixels 7 formed on the transparent film 6 are collectively referred to as a pixel layer 51.
[0088]
As shown in FIG. 30, the pixel layer 51 uses a personal computer to edit the pitch of the pixels 7 in a predetermined direction from the number of lines of the casing on which the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 is formed using an editing processing application. The grid formed by the grid lines forming the grid having the number of lines close to each other is set to the same pitch as that of the grid, and the pitch of the pixels 7 in the horizontal direction is the plane convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 formed. A pixel arrangement in which a large number of pixels 7 are aligned vertically and horizontally with the same pitch as that of the grid as a unit of the grid formed by the grid forming a grid having a number of lines close to the number of lines of the body. Is obtained by obtaining each pixel 7 on the transparent film 6 after obtaining the image data of the pixel arrangement subjected to the editing process in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Is.
[0089]
When the position where the virtual image appearing decorative body 50 according to the present embodiment is viewed from the X direction (see FIG. 30) is fixed right above the reference pixel 10 and viewed, A pair of other pixel columns 12, 12 equidistant from the parallel reference pixel column 11 is a reference pixel column with respect to the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element columns 13, 13 corresponding to the other pixel columns 12, 12. 11 is shifted inward with respect to the central axis, and the width displaced by the other pixel columns 12 and 12 outside the reference pixel column 11 is increased. Therefore, an enlarged virtual image 52 obtained by modifying the shape of the pixel 7 Appears to sink in the back (downward) of the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center.
[0090]
Further, the positions of viewing the virtual image 52 in a state where the direction in which the virtual image appearing decorative body 50 is viewed in the X direction (see FIG. 30) are arranged on each pixel row 15 (one pixel). When the pixel 7 is moved substantially parallel to the pixel row 15, each pixel 7 of the pixel 7 array arranged on each pixel row 15 has the same rotation angle in order from the basic pixel 18 with the center of the pixel 7 as a fulcrum. Since the rotation pattern that accumulates θ is formed so as to rotate in one direction, the virtual image 52 is slightly in the same direction as the direction in which the viewing position is moved, as shown in FIG. It appears to move so as to rotate with the center of the virtual image 52 as a fulcrum in accordance with the rotation of each pixel 7 located in the moving direction while moving.
[0091]
Next, when the viewing position of the virtual image appearing decorative body 50 is changed and viewed from the Y direction (see FIG. 30), the viewing position is fixed directly above the reference pixel 10 and viewed. 30, when viewed from the X direction, the pixel column 12 is a pixel row, the pixel row 15 is a pixel column, the reference pixel column 11 is a reference pixel row, the reference pixel row 14 is a reference pixel column, The convex lens-shaped condensing element array 13 is a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element array, the plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element array 16 is a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element array, and is a reference pixel array that is a reference pixel array 14 parallel to the Y direction. The reference for a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element column in which a set of other pixel columns that were equidistant pixel rows 15 was a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element row 16 corresponding to each other pixel column If the pixel column is shifted outward from the center axis, Since the width of the other pixel row outside the reference pixel row is larger, the enlarged virtual image 53 obtained by deforming the shape of the pixel 7 is a plano-convex lens-shaped condensing element layer 3 with the reference pixel 10 as the center. It appears to float in front of (above).
[0092]
Furthermore, the position where the virtual image 53 is viewed in the state where the virtual image appearance decoration pair 50 is viewed in the Y direction (see FIG. 30) is the position of the pixel arranged on each pixel column which is the pixel row 15. When the pixel 7 is moved substantially parallel to the arrangement (the arrangement of one pixel), each pixel 7 in the arrangement of the pixels 7 arranged on each pixel column in the pixel row 15 is the center of the pixel 7. 32, the virtual image 53 is viewed as shown in (b) of FIG. 32 because it is formed so as to rotate in one direction with a rotation pattern in which the same rotation angle θ is accumulated in order from the basic pixel 18.
