Abstract(in English) Toward the goal of developing an invisible bar code, we did research on the characteristics of special infrared-transparent pigment and found a special black pigment which has high infrared light transparency (AM-BK). The pigment has both the property of appearing black and stable optical characteristics under ordinary visible light (light-fastness), along with the usual characteristics of coloring materials. In experiments, we demonstrated a black color type of invisible bar code using the combination of AM-BK and carbon black (CB). Furthermore, we also found that the infrared transparent ratio was decreased exponentioally with addiional amounts of CB. This means that it will be possible to develop a type of invisible bar code varying in shades of gray. Development of this new type of inivisible bar code raises the possibility of obtaining both high security bar codes and bar codes that are higher in density than ordinary 2-dimensional ones.
