A forgery prevention structure, in one configuration, includes a relief forming layer, a first reflection layer, a functional thin film layer, a second reflection layer and a protection layer in this order. In this configuration, the relief forming layer has a relief structure comprising a first relief and a second relief; each of the reliefs has an uneven surface, a surface area of the uneven surface of the first relief being smaller than a surface area of the uneven surface of the second relief; the first reflection layer and the functional thin film layer each are provided along a whole of the uneven surfaces of the reliefs and each has uneven surfaces corresponding respectively to the uneven surfaces of the reliefs; and the second reflection layer and the protection layer each has an uneven surface corresponding to the uneven surface of the first relief.

A main object of the present disclosure is to provide a hologram structure having excellent forgery preventability and designability. The present disclosure achieves the object by providing a hologram structure comprising: a hologram layer including a reflection type hologram forming region carrying a recorded phase type Fourier transform hologram that transforms an incident light from a point light source into a desired optical image; and a vapor deposition layer formed so as to come into contact with a concavo-convex surface of the reflection type hologram forming region of the hologram layer, and a size of the reflection type hologram forming region in plan view is in a range of 5 mm square or more and 50 mm square or less.

When coating a document surface (3) having relief-like information (1) carrying personal data, for example, with a monomer-containing liquid UV adhesive (4) across the entire surface and then laminating thereon a volume hologram (2), the varying adhesive thicknesses between the volume hologram and the document surface resulting from the relief cause differentiated swelling and thereby a differentiated color shift of the hologram. After the desired color shift is achieved, the UV adhesive (4) is completely cured. In this way, individual holographic information is obtained, which is located exactly above the relief-like information of the document. With this method, holographic overlays comprising personal data and a passport picture can be produced, and it is possible to link defined optical document information to the hologram in an accurately positioned manner, so that information is visible both non-diffractively and, from a different viewing angle, holographically in a different color.
