As shown in fig. 2, in the case of the same light source, when the light source is symmetrically incident, i.e., the left and right incident angles are the same, the emission positions of the-1 st order diffraction light formed by coupling the left incident light and the 1 st order diffraction light formed by coupling the right incident light are the same.

The invention also provides an anti-counterfeiting method, which applies the anti-counterfeiting structures 10a, 10b and 10c, and fig. 26 is a flow schematic diagram of the anti-counterfeiting method. As shown in fig. 26, the anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention comprises the steps of:
step S1, providing a first substrate, forming a grating layer 12 on the first substrate, and fabricating a grating structure on the grating layer 12; specifically, the step of fabricating the grating structure on the grating layer 12 includes: providing a second substrate, spin-coating a photoresist on the second substrate, and performing interference exposure on the photoresist to obtain a grating structure; the grating structure is transferred onto the grating layer 12.
Step S2, performing a coating process on the surface of the grating structure to obtain a protective layer 14; specifically, after the grating structure is manufactured, a first coating process is performed on the surface of the grating structure to obtain the dielectric layer 13, and then a second coating process is performed to obtain the protective layer 14.
Step S3, the same light source is emitted to one position of the grating structure from two different directions and with the same incident angle, and after being diffracted by the grating structure, the diffracted light in one direction is brighter and the diffracted light in the other direction is darker.
The anti-counterfeiting structures 10a, 10b and 10c comprise the grating layer 12, the grating layer 12 is provided with the grating structures 121a and 121b for generating asymmetric diffraction, when the same light source irradiates the grating structures 121a and 121b from two different directions and at the same incident angle, the emergent positions of the diffracted light are the same and the brightness is different under the condition of the symmetric incident angle, the anti-counterfeiting structures have the contrast effect of light and shade difference, have the anti-counterfeiting effect, have the advantages of high safety level, high master plate imitation threshold, short-time prevention incapability, simple structure, mass production, low cost and the like, and are beneficial to large-scale popularization.
