Original Abstract Submitted
A product includes a fine periodic structure having a plurality of projection portions extending parallel to each other in a first direction in each of a first region and a second region adjacent in the first direction on a surface of a substrate. The fine periodic structure formed in an inner portion of the first region and the fine periodic structure formed in an inner portion of the second region are substantially the same periodic structures. End portions of the plurality of projection portions formed in the first region and end portions of the plurality of projection portions formed in the second region are formed in a boundary portion between the first region and the second region.
