ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method of discriminating an article which includes steps of finishing the article to make it have a smooth base surface, applying a transparent reflective film on the base surface of the article, the transparent reflective film being provided with a plurality of transparent spherical particles forming a first region and a plurality of transparent spherical particles forming a second region which have different distances from the base surface, distance between the transparent spherical particles in the first region and the base surface being just equal to focal length of the first transparent spherical particles in the first region, distance between the transparent spherical particles in the second region and the base surface being shorter than focal length of the transparent spherical particles in the second region, coating the transparent reflective film with a transparent protecting film, whereby the first region will be more bright than the second region when the light is vertically projected on the article, but will be less bright than the second region when light is slantwise projected on the article.
