Abstract

A reflecting mark for anti-counterfeit is provided. The reflecting mark comprises a top transparent film having a top corrugated surface, a bottom reflecting layer disposed under the film, and a figure layer disposed between the film and the reflecting layer. The figure layer comprises at least six layers each having a figure formed thereon. The figures are aligned. Each figure has a color formed by mixing two or more components of cyan (or green), magenta, yellow, and black together. For example, a CIS bearing the reflecting mark can be easily identified by people, thereby eliminating confusion in distinguishing a genuine CIS from a counterfeit one.
