Abstract

We have been developing various types of holograms. In this paper mass-produced color graphic arts holograms are discussed. The TRUE IMAGE^TM hologram, as it is known in Japan, is a volume-type hologram which diffracts selected wavelengths of the ambient light to selected desired angles. When replicating the TRUE IMAGE^TM, three lasers are used simultaneously or independently. There are four beneficial characteristics of the TRUE IMAGE^TM hologram; (1) Repeatable mass product techniques and few defects: a direct lamination method has been developed. (2) Looking bright and clear under fluorescent light: specially designed masters and replication conditions allows TRUE IMAGE^TM holograms to be seen under fluorescent light. (3) Stable chromaticities: expressing full color by developing objects, paints, mastering process and replication process. (4) Good environmental stability: use of effective adhesive films. In this paper, the first characteristic is mainly discussed.
