Pattern printed sheet
First Claim
1. A pattern printed sheet comprising a substrate and a non-visible light-reflective transparent pattern printed on a surface of the substrate, wherein an ink for forming the transparent pattern contains a non-visible light-reflective material capable of selectively reflecting a light having a wavelength in a non-visible light range, a non-visible light reflectance of the transparent pattern as measured at a peak selective reflection wavelength being 13 to 50%, and the transparent pattern has a dot pattern, and has a multilayer structure in section which is repeated at predetermined intervals and, when observing a section of the structure, a repeated layer structure appears every 180°
- when the liquid crystal molecule is rotated, as observed by a scanning electron microscope, and reflects only a circular polarization component in a predetermined rotation direction relative to an incident light applied thereto,wherein the multilayer structure is formed from a liquid crystal material having a fixed cholesteric structure, wherein the liquid crystal material having a fixed cholesteric structure is made of a chiral nematic liquid crystal material formed by mixing a nematic liquid crystal with a chiral agent, wherein the nematic liquid crystal is in the form of a compound having an acrylate structure, the non-visible light reflectance being attained by the liquid crystal material having the fixed cholesteric structure,wherein the transparent pattern printed has a thickness of from 1 to 20 μ
m, andwherein the nematic liquid crystal includes a compound represented by a formula selected from the group consisting of the following formulae (1), (2), (4)-(9), and (11);

Abstract
The pattern printed sheet 1 of the present invention includes a substrate 2 and a non-visible light-reflective transparent pattern 3 printed on a surface of the substrate, wherein an ink for forming the transparent pattern 3 contains a non-visible light-reflective material capable of selectively reflecting a light having a wavelength in a non-visible light range, and the transparent pattern 3 printed on the surface of the substrate 2 has a multilayer structure in section which is repeated at predetermined intervals as observed by a scanning electron microscope, and reflects only a circular polarization component in a predetermined rotation direction relative to an incident light applied thereto. The pattern printed sheet is usable as a coordinate detecting means which is applicable a data input system of a type capable of directly hand-writing input data on an image screen of a display device, and has a reduced weight and a low price, and is readily obtained in the form of a large area sheet and can be mass-produced.
