You may read the said relief layer support part 5A as the laminated body by which the base material 1 and 5 A of relief layer support parts were laminated|stacked. As a method for forming this laminate, there are a method of laminating the substrate 1 and the relief layer supporting portion 5A, and a method of applying a coating liquid to form the relief layer supporting portion 5A on the substrate 1 and drying to form the laminate. I can give an example.

(First transfer layer)
A first transfer layer 20 is provided on the first surface side of the relief layer 5 .
The first transfer layer 20 as an example has a single-layer structure or a laminated structure including the protective layer 25 (see FIGS. 1 to 5). First transfer layer 20 may not include protective layer 25 . The first transfer layer 20 can take various forms as exemplified below.
The first transfer layer 20 can be peeled off from the relief layer 5 .
The first surface of the first transfer layer 20 has a hologram pattern following the uneven pattern of the relief layer 5 .
In the transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure, the first surface of the first transfer layer 20 can be positioned on the outermost surface of the transfer target 150 by transferring the first transfer layer 20 to the transfer target 150 . The transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure can express a hologram pattern on the outermost surface of the transfer target 150 by transferring the first transfer layer 20 to the transfer target 150 .

However, in the state of the transfer sheet 100, the hologram pattern of the first surface of the first transfer layer 20 is not exposed, so the first transfer layer 20 does not have a holographic appearance.
That is, the transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure does not have a holographic appearance even when the first transfer layer 20 is viewed from the relief layer 5 side. The first transfer layer 20 of the transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure has a hologram pattern on the first surface, but does not have a holographic appearance before transfer.
The first transfer layer 20 overlaps a non-filling region, which will be described later.

As an example, the first transfer layer 20 has transparency such that the surface of the transfer material 150 can be visually recognized from the first transfer layer 20 side when the first transfer layer 20 is transferred to the transfer material 150 . In the present disclosure, transparent includes colorless transparent, colored transparent, and translucent.

A feeling can be imparted (see FIGS. 8C, 9D, 10D, 11D, 27B, 28C, 29C, 30C, and 31B). 8C, 9D, 10D, and 11D are schematic cross-sectional views showing an example of a print 300 produced using the transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure. 27B, 28C, 29C, 30C, and 31B are schematic cross-sectional views showing an example of a decorative article 300 manufactured using the transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure.

The hologram pattern that appears on the outermost surface by the transfer of the first transfer layer 20 has a hologram effect on the transferred body 150 to which the first transfer layer 20 has been transferred, due to the difference in the refractive index between air and the interface between the unevenness that forms the hologram pattern. can be given.
Such a first transfer layer 20 can have a larger difference in refractive index than a conventional transfer layer that imparts a hologram effect by utilizing a difference in refractive index between materials, and can impart a strong hologram effect to a transferred object. . Examples of the conventional transfer layer include a transfer layer that has a hologram layer and a reflective layer and that can impart a hologram effect due to the difference in refractive index between the hologram layer and the reflective layer.

The hologram pattern of the first transfer layer 20 is not limited to the illustrated form, the shape described below, and the like.
A hologram pattern as an example has a linear shape when viewed from above (see FIGS. 13A and 14A). In the hologram pattern of this shape, a plurality of projections continuously extending in one direction are regularly arranged in a direction orthogonal to the one direction. As an example, the direction in which the projections continuously extend is the longitudinal direction of the transfer sheet 100 . The hologram pattern of this form can stabilize the peeling of the plate from the relief layer 5 when the relief layer 5 is embossed by a roll-to-roll method using a plate having an uneven pattern, and the relief layer 5 is free from defects. It is possible to form an uneven pattern without In addition, it is possible to suppress bubble inclusion when forming the first transfer layer 20 by applying a coating liquid to the formed relief layer 5 and drying it.

The pitch between the projections forming the hologram pattern in the present disclosure means the center-to-center distance between adjacent projections when the first transfer layer 20 is viewed from the first surface side.
The pitch between the protrusions forming the hologram pattern may be read as the pitch between the recesses forming the hologram pattern, the width of the protrusions forming the hologram pattern, and the width of the recesses forming the hologram pattern.
The pitch between the recesses forming the hologram pattern means the distance between the centers of adjacent recesses when the first transfer layer 20 is viewed from the first surface side (see symbol “P2” in FIGS. 13 to 16). .
The width of the convex portion forming the hologram pattern means the width of the convex portion when the hologram pattern is viewed from above (see symbol “W1” in FIGS. 13 to 16).

The height of the projections in the hologram pattern (see symbol “T1” in FIGS. 13B and 14B to 14D) is not limited, but is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 2 μm or less, more preferably 0.15 μm or more and 1 μm or less. The hologram pattern of this form can strongly express the holographic appearance, and can maintain the holographic appearance even when a fingerprint or the like adheres to the first surface of the first transfer layer 20 . Also, it is easy to form a hologram pattern. The same applies to the depth of the recesses forming the hologram pattern.

The cross-sectional shape of the concave portion forming the hologram pattern is not limited, and may be rectangular (see FIGS. 14C, 27B, 28C, 29C, 30C, and 31B), trapezoidal (see FIGS. 14B and 14D), and V-shaped.

As an example, the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion forming the hologram pattern has an inclined inner wall surface (see FIGS. 13B, 14B, and 14D). A hologram pattern of this form is easy to form.

As an example, the first transfer layer 20 has a thickness of 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less, excluding the hologram pattern convex portion (see symbol “T2” in FIGS. 13 and 14).

(protective layer)
As an example, the first transfer layer 20 has a single-layer structure including the protective layer 25 (see FIG. 18) or a laminated structure (see FIGS. 19 and 20).
The protective layer 25 as an example is located closest to the relief layer 5 among the layers constituting the first transfer layer 20 . The protective layer 25 as an example has a hologram pattern on the surface on the relief layer 5 side (see FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2 to 5, 19 and 20).

Components of the protective layer 25 include acrylic resin, polyester, polycarbonate, vinyl resin such as vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, ultraviolet absorbing resin, epoxy resin, polystyrene, polyurethane, urethane-modified acrylic, acrylic-modified urethane, and the like. Examples include silicone-modified resins, mixtures of these resins, ionizing radiation-curable resins, and UV-curable resins. The component contained in the protective layer 25 may be one kind or two or more kinds.

The protective layer 25 as an example is located closest to the relief layer 5 among the layers constituting the first transfer layer 20, and contains a component having releasability. As the component having releasability, the components described above for the member having releasability can be appropriately selected and used. This form of protective layer 25 is suitable when the first surface of the relief layer 5 does not have releasability.
The protective layer 25 as an example is located closest to the relief layer 5 among the layers constituting the first transfer layer 20 and contains titanium oxide. The protective layer 25 of this form can impart a stronger hologram feeling to the transferred object 150 to which the first transfer layer 20 has been transferred.

The method of forming the protective layer 25 is not limited, and it can be formed by applying a coating liquid and drying it. There is no limitation on the coating method of the coating liquid, and conventionally known coating methods can be appropriately selected and used. This method can easily form a hologram pattern following the uneven pattern of the relief layer 5 on the surface of the protective layer 25 facing the relief layer 5 . Examples of coating methods include a gravure printing method, a screen printing method, and a reverse coating method using a gravure plate. Other coating methods can also be used. The same applies to the methods of forming various layers described later. In the method of forming the protective layer 25 , the protective layer 25 may be read as the first transfer layer 20 .

The first transfer layer 20 as an example has a laminated structure in which a release layer and a protective layer 25 are laminated in this order. In the first transfer layer 20 of this form, the surface of the release layer on the relief layer 5 side has a hologram pattern. Examples of the components of the release layer include the components described above for the member having releasability. This form is suitable when the first surface of the relief layer does not have releasability.

(Transfer sheet for comparison)
FIG. 17C is a comparative transfer sheet 100X manufactured by the following method.
The transfer sheet of FIG. 17C differs from the transfer sheet 100 of the present disclosure in that a primer layer 30 ′ instead of the relief layer 5 is provided between the substrate 1 and the colorant layer 40 .
A transfer sheet 100X for comparison is obtained by forming the relief layer 5 on a part of the base material and forming the first transfer layer 20 on the relief layer 5 . A transfer sheet 100X for comparison is obtained by forming a primer layer 30' on another part of the substrate 1 and forming a coloring material layer 40 on the primer layer 30'.
The formation of the relief layer 5 having the uneven pattern is performed by providing a resin layer 5′ before the uneven pattern is formed on a part of the base material 1 (see FIG. 17A), and molding a plate having the uneven pattern on the resin layer 5′.
