MAGNETIC ORIENTATION DESIGN MEDIUM MANUFACTURING METHOD AND MAGNETIC ORIENTATION DESIGN MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for forming a complicated design having a plurality of line drawings of different contrasts by an easy process.SOLUTION: A magnetic orientation design medium manufacturing method comprises: a magnetic orientation layer forming step of forming an uncured magnetic orientation layer containing a magnetic anisotropic pigment on a substrate; an orientation step of orienting the pigment; and a curing step of curing the magnetic orientation layer after the orientation to obtain an orientation-fixing layer. The orientation step is carried out with the substrate layered on a magnetic plate. The magnetic plate comprises, in a thickness direction, a first region having a first pattern made of a magnetic material and a nonmagnetic material, a magnetic material, and a nonmagnetic material. The magnetic plate also includes a second region which has a second pattern different from the first pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】複数の異なるコントラストの線画を有する複雑な意匠を、容易なプロセスによって形成する技術を提供すること。【解決手段】基板上に、磁気異方性顔料を含有する未硬化の磁気配向性層を形成する磁気配向性層形成工程と、前記顔料を配向させる配向工程と、前記配向後の磁気配向性層を硬化して配向固定化層を得る硬化工程と、を含む、磁気配向意匠媒体の製造方法であって、前記配向工程が、前記基板を磁性板に積層した状態で行われ、そして、前記磁性板が、厚み方向に、磁性体と非磁性体とから成る第１のパターンを有する第１領域、及び磁性体と非磁性体とから成り、前記第１のパターンとは異なる第２のパターンを有する第２領域を有することを特徴とする、前記磁気配向意匠媒体の製造方法。【選択図】図９
