Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a lenticular printed material including: a lenticular lens in which a plurality of convex lenses respectively having a semicylindrical surface are arranged in parallel; and a lenticular image which is disposed on a side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of each convex lens and includes character information to be displayed in a plurality of languages independently from each other, in which the languages for displaying the character information are switched between one another according to an observation angle in a case where the lenticular image is observed through the lenticular lens.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lenticular printed material comprising: a lenticular lens in which a plurality of convex lenses each respectively having a semicylindrical surface are arranged in parallel; a lenticular image which is disposed on a side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of the convex lens and includes character information to be displayed in a plurality of languages independently from each other; and a white ink layer which is disposed on the lenticular image, wherein the languages for displaying the character information are switched between one another according to an observation angle in a case where the lenticular image is observed through the lenticular lens. 2. The lenticular printed material according to claim 1 which is a business card. 3. The lenticular printed material according to claim 1 , wherein the character information is displayed in three or more languages that are switched between one another according to the observation angle. 4. The lenticular printed material according to claim 1 , wherein the lenticular image has common items common between at least two languages among the plurality of languages, and the common items are displayed at the same position between at least two languages having the common items at the time of changing the observation angle. 5. The lenticular printed material according to claim 4 , wherein the lenticular printed material is a business card, and the character information is displayed in three or more languages that are switched between one another according to the observation angle. 6. The lenticular printed material according to claim 5 , wherein the convex lenses constituting the lenticular lens are arranged in parallel in an amount of at least 100 columns of per 2.54 cm. 7. The lenticular printed material according to claim 6 , wherein the lenticular lens and the lenticular image are provided on both surfaces of the lenticular printed material, and the languages for displaying the character information are switched between one another according to the observation angle respectively on the both surfaces. 8. The lenticular printed material according to claim 6 , wherein paper is attached to a surface on the side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of the convex lens of the lenticular lens. 9. The lenticular printed material according to claim 8 , wherein the lenticular lens and the lenticular image are provided on the both surfaces, the lenticular image on one surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to first to third languages according to the observation angle, and the lenticular image on the other surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to fourth to sixth languages respectively different from the first to third languages according to the observation angle. 10. The lenticular printed material according to claim 1 , wherein at least 100 columns of the convex lenses constituting the lenticular lens are arranged in parallel per 2.54 cm. 11. The lenticular printed material according to claim 1 , wherein the lenticular lens and the lenticular image are provided on both surfaces of the lenticular printed material, and the languages for displaying the character information are switched between one another according to the observation angle respectively on the both surfaces. 12. The lenticular printed material according to claim 11 , wherein the lenticular lens and the lenticular image are provided on the both surfaces, the lenticular image on one surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to first to third languages according to the observation angle, and the lenticular image on the other surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to fourth to sixth languages respectively different from the first to third languages according to the observation angle. 13. The lenticular printed material according to claim 1 , wherein paper is attached to a surface on the side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of the convex lens of the lenticular lens. 14. A lenticular printed material comprising: a lenticular lens in which a plurality of convex lenses each respectively having a semicylindrical surface are arranged in parallel; and a lenticular image which is disposed on a side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of the convex lens and includes character information to be displayed in a plurality of languages independently from each other, wherein the lenticular lens and the lenticular image are provided on both surfaces of the lenticular printed material, the languages for displaying the character information are switched between one another according to an observation angle respectively on the both surfaces in a case where the lenticular image is observed through the lenticular lens, the lenticular image on one surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to first to third languages according to the observation angle, and the lenticular image on the other surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to fourth to sixth languages respectively different from the first to third languages according to the observation angle. 15. A lenticular printed material comprising: a lenticular lens in which a plurality of convex lenses each respectively having a semicylindrical surface are arranged in parallel in an amount of at least 100 columns of per 2.54 cm; a lenticular image which is disposed on a side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of the convex lens and includes character information to be displayed in a plurality of languages independently from each other; and paper which is attached to a surface on the side opposite to the semicylindrical surface of the convex lens of the lenticular lens, wherein the lenticular lens and the lenticular image are provided on both surfaces of the lenticular printed material, the languages for displaying the character information are switched between one another according to an observation angle in a case where the lenticular image is observed through the lenticular lens, the lenticular image has common items common between at least two languages among the plurality of languages, and the common items are displayed at the same position between at least two languages having the common items at the time of changing the observation angle, and wherein the lenticular printed material is a business card, and the character information is displayed in three or more languages that are switched between one another according to the observation angle, the lenticular image on one surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to first to third languages according to the observation angle, and the lenticular image on the other surface includes character information displayed in three languages which are switched to fourth to sixth languages respectively different from the first to third languages according to the observation angle.
