Abstract: Each protrusion surface has a shape of a strip extending in an extension direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction. Each protrusion surface tapers toward a top section in a thickness direction of an uneven structure. Each depression surface has a shape of a strip extending in the extension direction. Each depression surface tapers toward a bottom section in the thickness direction of the uneven structure. The protrusion surfaces and the depression surfaces are arranged at a period that limits reflection of light that is incident on the uneven surface in a front-view direction of the uneven surface and diffracts the light incident on the uneven surface to emit diffracted light in an oblique view direction of the uneven surface. The uneven structure has a property of absorbing light incident on the uneven structure.

The display of the present invention includes a relief structure-forming layer having a plurality of relief structure-forming areas that are provided on one principal surface side of a light transmissive base, a light reflection layer covering at least a part of the relief structure-forming layer, and a light scattering layer provided on a light reflection layer side of the relief structure-forming layer. The plurality of relief structure-forming areas have a plurality of convexities or a plurality of concavities having a first surface substantially parallel to the principal surface and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface. In each of the plurality of relief structure-forming areas, a difference in height between the first and second surfaces is substantially constant, and at least one of a difference in height between the first and second surfaces and a height of a virtual plane configured by the first surface is different from the difference in height or a height of the virtual plane of other relief structure-forming areas.

Abstract: A display body includes lattice lines that are arranged along a plane of incidence on which light is incident. The lattice lines have properties for forming a bright image with diffracted light of the incident light in an oblique view in which the plane of incidence is viewed obliquely, and absorbing some of the incident light. The surface of each of the lattice lines includes dispersed fine step parts that are repetitive in the direction in which the lattice lines extend. The steps have an antireflection function and form a dark image in a front view directly facing the plane of incidence.

Abstract: The distance between the first reflection surfaces and the third reflection surface in the thickness direction of a substrate is a distance that is able the obverse surface of the reflection layer to emit light of a first color by interference between light reflected from the first reflection surfaces and light reflected from the third reflection surface. The distance between the second reflection surfaces and the third reflection surface in the thickness direction of the substrate is a distance that is able the obverse surface to emit light of a second color by interference between light reflected from the second reflection surfaces and light reflected from the third reflection surface. The obverse surface emits light of a third color that includes the light of the first color and the light of the second color.
