A light-emitting medium including a light-emitting image having a pattern area formed on a substrate by using a first fluorescent ink containing a first fluorescent material, a background area formed on the substrate by using a second fluorescent ink containing a second fluorescent material, and a overcoat layer formed on the first fluorescent material of the pattern area and the second fluorescent material of the background area. The first fluorescent material is made of a fluorescent material which emits light of blue color when UV-A is irradiated, and emits light of red color when UV-C is irradiated. The second fluorescent material is made of a fluorescent material which emits light of blue color or light of a color that is viewed as the same color as the blue color when the UV-A is irradiated, and emits light of green color when the UV-C is irradiated.

A light-emitting medium having a light-emitting image including first pattern elements formed on a substrate by using a first fluorescent ink containing a first fluorescent material, and second pattern elements formed on the substrate by using a second fluorescent ink containing a second fluorescent material. The first and second pattern elements form a plurality of micro-character rows m, and the first pattern elements form a latent image in the micro-character rows m. The first fluorescent material is made of a fluorescent material which emits light of blue color when UV-A is irradiated, and emits light of red color when UV-C is irradiated. The second fluorescent material is made of a fluorescent material which emits light of blue color or light of a color that is viewed as the same color as the blue color when the UV-A is irradiated, and emits light of green color when the UV-C is irradiated.

A structure for pattern formation adapted for optically forming a pattern, characterized by comprising: a photocatalyst-containing layer provided on a substrate, the photocatalyst-containing layer containing a material of which the wettability is variable through photocatalytic action upon pattern-wise exposure.

Structure for pattern formation, method for pattern formation, and application thereof

There is provided a light-emitting medium by which whether a valuable paper or the like is forged or not can be judged easily and promptly. A light-emitting medium constituting a valuable paper includes a light-emitting image. The light-emitting image is composed of a pattern area formed on a substrate by using a first fluorescent ink containing a first fluorescent material, and a background area formed on the substrate by using a second fluorescent ink containing a second fluorescent material. When UV-A is irradiated, the first fluorescent ink and the second fluorescent ink emit light of colors that are viewed as different colors from each other. In addition, when UV-C is irradiated, the first fluorescent ink and the second fluorescent ink emit light of colors that are viewed as different colors from each other, the colors being different from the colors that are viewed when the UV-A is irradiated.

A main object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality color filter wherein the shapes of colored layer, as individual pixels, are even in the whole. To achieve the object, the present invention provides a color filter comprising: a base material; a light shielding part formed on the base material and containing a light shielding material and a resin; a photocatalyst containing layer formed to cover the base material and the light shielding part and containing a photocatalyst and an organopolysiloxane; and a colored layer formed on the photocatalyst containing layer in opening portions made in the light shielding part, wherein regarding ten pixels out of its pixels, the film thickness of a maximum film thickness portion where the film thickness from the surface of the base material to the surface of the colored layer in the opening portion in the pixel is maximum and the film thickness of a minimum film thickness portion where the film thickness from the surface of the base material to the surface of the colored layer in the opening portion is minimum are measured in each pixel, and the ratio &#x3b1; between the average A of the film thicknesses of the maximum film thickness portions and the average B of the film thicknesses of the minimum film thickness portions in the ten pixels (=B/A) is in the range of 0.5 to 1.0.

Color filter

A main object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality color filter having a colored layer formed by use of a difference in wettability in the surface of a photocatalyst containing layer, wherein white spots and color unevenness are not present in the colored layer and a method for producing the same. To achieve the object, the present invention provides a color filter comprising: a base material; a light shielding part formed on the base material and containing a light shielding material and a resin; a photocatalyst containing layer formed to cover the base material and the light shielding part and containing a photocatalyst and an organopolysiloxane; and a colored layer formed on the photocatalyst containing layer in an opening part made in the light shielding part, wherein the widths of thin film regions of both sides each having a film thickness decreased in a tapered form from a central portion of the light shielding part are each in the range from 20 to 40% of the line width of the light shielding part, and the film thickness of the photocatalyst containing layer is in the range from 0.01 to 0.5 &#x3bc;m.

Color filter and method of producing same

A primary object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of a pattern-forming body, the process enabling the formation of a highly precise pattern, requiring no post-exposure treatment and being free from a fear as to the deterioration of the pattern-forming body itself because no photocatalyst is contained in the produced pattern-forming body. In the present invention, the above problem can be solved by providing a process for the production of a pattern-forming body, the process comprising disposing a catalyst-containing layer-side substrate containing at least a photocatalyst-containing layer and a pattern-forming body substrate containing a characteristic-changeable layer which is changed in characteristics by the action of the photocatalyst in at least said photocatalyst-containing layer such that the photocatalyst-containing layer is in contact with the characteristic-changeable layer, followed by performing exposure to thereby change the characteristics of the exposed portion of the characteristic-changeable layer and thereafter dismounting the photocatalyst-containing layer-side substrate, thereby obtaining a pattern-forming body having a pattern which has been changed in characteristics on the characteristic-changeable layer.
