The present invention provides a light-shielding image-carrying substrate
including a substrate and a light-shielding image formed on at least part
of at least one face of the substrate, wherein the light-shielding image
includes at least two layers, and at least one of the at least two layers
is a light-absorbing layer containing shape-anisotropic fine metal
particles, and at least one layer of the at least two layers is a
reflected light-absorbing layer.
