A dot matrix hologram with a hidden image is disclosed, wherein the hidden image technology is applied to a dot matrix hologram. Although the hidden image technology has been used in a conventional hologram, it has not been used in a dot matrix hologram. Although the above two kinds of hologram both can show hidden images with illuminating laser light, the disclosed dot matrix hologram with a hidden image and the conventional hologram with a hidden image use different working principles and have different detailed characteristics to create hidden image regions.

Dot matrix hologram with a hidden image

A moire pattern technology about a dot matrix hologram for hiding a moire pattern is invented. In the moire pattern hidden region of a dot matrix hologram, the moire pattern foreground area and the moire pattern background area are formed identically by interlacing bright lines and dark lines. While position shifting is formed between the lines of the two areas. This position shifting is several times of the size of the grating dots. Thus, a moire pattern hidden in the moire pattern hidden region without being processed specially has a poor hiding ability. Often the above moire pattern can be identified by eyes directly without using a decoding film. Therefore, such kinds of moire patterns have poor hidden effects. However, the moire pattern of the present invention can prevent the aforesaid phenomenon by a well designed pretended pattern. Moreover, the appearance of such a dot matrix hologram can be beautified by the addition of the pretended patern. Furthermore, in the present invention, a technology of one-dimensional moire patterns is upgraded to a technology of two-dimensional moire patterns.
