Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a security feature for a data carrier, a security feature for a data carrier, a data carrier with a security feature and a laminating sheet for producing a security feature.

Data carriers such as documents of value, for example passport and ID documents, ID cards, credit cards, bank cards and the like are being used to an increasing extent in public areas, but also in the internal area.

It has long been known to provide such documents of value or also banknotes with lens grids, for example in the form of lenticular lenses. Such structures provide the value documents with optically variable effects such as tilting images, which are also intended to offer protection against reproduction.

From the EP 1629994 B1 discloses a method for producing a three-dimensional embossing sheet for producing surface-embossed cards and documents by means of lamination. Different types of embossing structures are worked into the surface of a highly polished embossing sheet using different processing techniques, such as lens structures and micro-lettering structures.

From the DE 1126368 A1 a method for producing a portable data carrier with an embossed surface structure can be inferred. Embossing is carried out using an embossing die and a counter die on a pre-laminated semi-finished product. The embossed surface structure can in particular be a lens structure.

Other security features, such as those referred to as Magic ID, are printed in offset, for example, and a lens is arranged above them.

From the EP 2162294 B1 discloses a method for forming a security element in the form of a micro-optical moiré magnification arrangement on an identity card or a security document. In this case, an image motif is mathematically broken down into a large number of micromotif image parts which are arranged periodically in a grid pattern. The typically printed micromotif image parts are viewed through a focusing element grid in the form of a lens array. When changing the viewing angle, the viewer gets the impression that the motif is moving. The process for manufacturing such security elements is complex. In addition, the image quality of the security feature depends on the printing process.

The object of the present invention is to simplify the production of a visually checkable security feature that acts with the aid of a lens structure and at the same time to improve the image quality of the security feature. Furthermore, a substrate in which the security feature is formed should also be protected against manipulation and counterfeiting.

This object is achieved by a method for producing a security feature, a security feature for a data carrier, a data carrier or a laminating sheet according to the independent patent claims. Configurations and developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

• - Bereitstellen eines im sichtbaren Spektralbereich transparenten oder teiltransparenten Substrats;
• - Einbringen der Darstellung in eine Seite des Substrats durch Abformen der Formstruktur; und
• - Ausbilden einer lichtbeugenden oder lichtbrechenden Struktur an der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Substrats..

A method according to the invention for producing a security feature for a data carrier comprises the steps:

• - Providing a substrate that is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range;
• - incorporating the representation into one side of the substrate by molding the mold structure; and
• - Forming a light-diffractive or light-refractive structure on the opposite side of the substrate.

A basic idea of the present invention is that the security feature is completely molded or embossed and no longer partially printed, as is otherwise usual. The form structure of the representation of the security feature is a negative or positive element in the laminating sheet that is reproduced on the data carrier. It is molded into a substrate or layer, for example made of a plastic such as PET, PC, PVC or PP. Pressure and heat can be used in incorporating the image into the substrate.

The mold structure can be introduced into the mold using processes such as milling, lasering, etching, 3D printing or the like. Such methods have better resolution than conventional printing methods such as offset printing.

The method proposed here has the advantage that, due to the higher resolution than with plate exposure, a finer representation of the security feature is made possible. These filigree structures with a smaller structure width allow more details with static security features and with moving images or tilting images a smoother flow. Likewise, more complex movements can now be implemented.

Since there is no need to print elements, manufacturing can be simplified. In addition, the security features are limited in terms of printing size. The production proposed here also allows greater security features, for example a milling process in a plate-shaped form such as a laminating sheet is not restricted.

Another advantage of the invention is that the substrate can be selected to be transparent. The substrate can also be partially transparent or opaque with a transparent or partially transparent window. It is then possible to view the security feature or the representation from both sides, ie a front side and a back side. The diffractive or refractive structure can then be attached to one side of the substrate and the display attached to the opposite side of the substrate.

A further advantage of the invention is that it protects the substrate in which the security feature is formed against manipulation and counterfeiting.

Provision can furthermore be made for the shaping means to be a laminating sheet and for the representation to be introduced during laminating of the substrate. The representation can thus be introduced into the laminating sheet as a laminating structure and then laminated into the substrate. On the laminating sheet, as well as on other molding means, a multiplicity of mold structures can be provided, each with a representation of the security feature, so that the security feature can be produced sheet by sheet. Such a sheet is later divided into individual security features.

Provision can be made for the light-diffracting or light-refracting structure to be arranged on the substrate during lamination by means of a second laminating sheet. This further simplifies production. In particular, the light-diffracting or light-refracting structure and the representation can be introduced simultaneously. This can further reduce the manufacturing time.

It can further be provided that a superimposed security element is introduced into the substrate with a laser by locally changing the color of the substrate material. For this purpose, the substrate preferably has at least one laser-sensitive layer and the overlaid security element is formed in this layer.

Provision can be made for the overlaid security element to be introduced through the light-diffracting or light-refracting structure. It can further be provided that the superimposed security element is introduced after the production of the first security feature.

Provision can also be made for the shaping means to be a stamp and for the representation to be introduced after the substrate has been laminated. As an alternative to the laminating sheet, one or more stamps can be provided for introducing the representation into the substrate. The stamp is provided with the same form structure of a depiction of the security feature. Finished sheets can be run over the stamp or stamps. The plastic of the substrate is melted before stamping, which can be achieved by lamination or another process step, even without lamination. In general, for example, a lamination sheet, an embossing die, an intaglio plate, and/or an ultrasonic process can be used to impart the image to the substrate.

Provision can be made for the mold structure to be introduced into the mold using a laser cutting, milling, water jet cutting or electroplating process. In principle, all processes with which fine structure widths can be introduced into the mold are suitable. For example, a sandblasting process can also be used. For example, the forming means may be a metal plate.

Provision can also be made for elements of the form structure to be calculated in such a way that the representation is a moving representation when the security feature is tilted. This can be done in data preparation before the mold structure is introduced into the mold, such as a milling process in a metal plate. For example, the moving representation may be a flip image that flips or switches between two or more representations when the representation moves relative to the viewer's eye. The moving representation can, for example, also be a movement over several images. These images can be shown moving in an endless movement. Due to the finer structure of the display, more images can be generated, since the distance between two optical structures, such as a lens, usually determines the number of images.

A security feature according to the invention for a data carrier comprises a substrate that is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range and into which a representation is formed, which, together with a light-diffractive or light-refractive structure) generates an optically variable image, and with a light-diffractive or light-refractive structure formed on the substrate, which at least partially covers the representation and interacts with it in order to generate a moving representation when the security feature is tilted.

It can be provided that the substrate is transparent. Since, according to the present invention, the representation of the security feature is molded and not printed, the substrate can now be chosen to be transparent. The substrate can also be partially transparent or opaque with a transparent or partially transparent window. It is then possible to view the security feature or the representation from both sides, ie a front side and a back side. The light-diffractive or refractive structure can then be attached to one side of the substrate and the display can be attached to the opposite side of the substrate.

Provision can also be made for the display to be a moving display when the security feature is tilted. For example, the moving representation may be a flip image that flips or switches between two or more representations when the representation moves relative to the viewer's eye. The moving representation can, for example, also be a movement over several images. These images can be shown moving in an endless movement. Due to the finer structure of the display, more images can be generated, since the distance between two optical structures, such as a lens, usually determines the number of images.

Provision can be made for the light-diffracting or light-refracting structure to include a surface relief in the form of a lenticular grid. A good optical representation and a smooth movement of the representation can be achieved by means of a lens grid with a number or multitude of individual lenses such as, for example, spherical lenses, rod lenses and/or cylindrical lenses.

A data carrier according to the invention, such as a document of value or a chip card, comprises a carrier on or in which a security feature as described above is arranged. The data carrier can also be packaging, such as security packaging with a security seal, for example for medicines. Likewise, the data carrier can be such a security seal. The security feature can be arranged entirely in an opening in the data carrier. The opening with the security feature located therein can be covered, for example, by means of one or more foils. Otherwise, the same advantages and modifications as previously described apply.

Provision can be made for the document of value to be a bank note, a passport document or an identification document. Ultimately, the security feature can be attached to any data carrier such as a document of value or a chip card.

A laminating sheet according to the invention for the production of a security feature for a data carrier comprises a mold structure of a representation of a security feature. The laminating sheet can be used in the method for producing a security feature as described above. Otherwise, the same advantages and modifications apply as described above.

Provision can be made for the mold structure to be introduced into the mold using laser cutting, milling, water jet cutting, 3D printing or a galvanic process. In principle, all processes with which fine structure widths can be introduced into the laminating sheet are suitable. The shaping means can be a laminating sheet, for example.

1 shows a top view of a data carrier 1 in a schematic representation. The data carrier 1 can be a document of value in the form of a bank note, a passport or ID document or the like. Likewise, the data carrier 1 can be a chip card. in the in 1 example shown, the data carrier 1 is an identity document.

The data carrier 1 contains a security feature 11 that generates a visually verifiable, optically variable image, for example a symbol. The optically variable image is a moving image or a flip image. The security feature 11 is at least partially arranged in a region 1 of the data carrier 1 in which it is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range.

The disk 1 contains more personal data 12 such as the first and last name of the owner. In addition, the identity card can contain further data 13, such as date of birth, nationality, issuing authority, date of issue and the like.

The basic structure of the security feature 11 is now with reference to 2 explained in more detail, which is a section through a first embodiment of the disk 1 along the line II 1 shows.

For the security feature 11, the data carrier 1 forms a substrate 10 that is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range 2 the substrate 10 consists of a card body 14 which is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range and the security feature 11 which is at least partially arranged in an opening 1a in the data carrier 1 or the card body 14 . The card body 14 can also be fundamentally opaque, in which case a transparent or partially transparent section is provided in the area 1 of the security feature 11 .

The security feature 11 comprises a carrier element 15 which is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range and into which a representation 16 is formed. The representation 16 is introduced on one side, here an underside or rear side, of the carrier element 15 in the form of a surface relief.

A light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17 is arranged on an opposite side of the carrier element 15, here an upper side or front side, which at least partially covers the security feature 11 or the representation 16.

The carrier element 15 can contain or consist of afterglow fluorescent or phosphorescent materials. The same applies to any additional layers or extruded films that may be present, which are part of the security feature 11 or interact with it.

The light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17 is expediently a surface relief in the form of a lenticular grid; such an embodiment is always taken as a basis below. A lenticular grid 17 with individual lenses such as spherical lenses, rod lenses and/or cylindrical lenses is expediently used. The lenticular grid 17 is arranged on the upper side of the carrier element 15 opposite that of the representation 16 and can be connected directly to the carrier element 15 . The carrier element 15 thus lies between the lens grid 17 and the representation 16.

Before it is introduced into the carrier element 15, the representation 16 has been calculated in accordance with the lenticular grid 17 in such a way that, when viewed through the lenticular grid 17, it generates a moving representation when the security feature 11 or the data carrier 1 is tilted An example could be a flip image that flips or switches between two or more views when the view 16 moves relative to the viewer's view. The moving representation can, for example, also be a movement over several images. These images can be shown moving in an endless movement.

An example of a moving representation 16 is in 3 shown. In the example shown, a viewer sees a movement of the front feet of a horse when the security element 11 is tilted. In order to achieve the impression of movement, the representation is divided into a plurality of individual elements which are perceived through the lenticular grid 17 depending on the viewing angle. The representation 16 can include, for example, based on a moiré effect security feature, the bases, for example, in EP 2162294 B1 are set out.

Due to the fine structure of the display 16, a large number of images can be generated, since the distance between two optical structures, such as a lens, usually predetermines the number of images. This distance, also referred to as the division, is used as a parameter in the calculation of representation 16 . One image can be provided per division. As part of data processing before the presentation 16 is introduced, the number of images in this presentation 16 is calculated.

The images contained in the representation 16 can be graphic representations such as rotating gears, text elements, pictorial representations. The representation can also contain personal information, such as a name, a signature, a date of birth or the like. In addition, the display 16 can include data related to the data carrier 1, such as a period of validity, a card number, information about the issuing authority or the like.

The data carrier 1 can comprise additional layers, for example one or more protective layers or functional layers provided with other security elements. The transparency of the data carrier 1 in the area of the security feature 11 can be retained. This allows the security feature 11 to be viewed from both the front and the back of the data carrier 1.

Due to the calculated interaction between the representation 16, or its individual elements, and the lens grid 17, a viewer sees the viewing angle-dependent representation 16 when he looks at the data carrier 1 from the front or the back. If the data carrier 1 with the representation 16 is pivoted or tilted, a movement of the representation 16 becomes visible, which is generated by the calculated interaction of the representation 16 with the light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17.

4 shows a section through an alternative embodiment of the data carrier 1 along the line II 1 . In the area of the security feature 11, the data carrier 1 in turn forms a substrate 10 that is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range. The data carrier 1 has a multi-layered structure which is transparent or partially transparent throughout in the visible spectral range in the area in which the security feature 11 is arranged . The data carrier 1 is based on a central carrier layer 18 in which a partial area 19 that is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range is formed in the area of the security feature 11 . The transparent partial area 19 can be a transparent insert 19 which is arranged in an opening 1a. The remaining part of the central carrier layer 18 can be made opaque or likewise transparent.

A top layer 15 which is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range is arranged on one side of the carrier layer 18 and forms a carrier element for the lens grid 17 . A second upper layer 25 which is transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range is arranged on the opposite side of the carrier layer 18 . The representation 16 in the form of a surface relief is formed on the outer side thereof. Further intermediate layers 18a, 18b which are transparent or partially transparent in the visible spectral range can be arranged between the central carrier layer 18 and the upper layers 10, 25.

Depending on the viewing angle, as in 4 For example, if the representation is in the form of a running horse, the horse will appear in two different states of motion as the viewing angles change.

5 shows a preferred embodiment of the security feature 11. In addition to the lens grid 17 and the moving representation 16, a superimposed security element 26 is introduced into the substrate 10 with a laser. The overlaid security element 26 is introduced by locally changing the color of the material of the substrate 10 by introducing laser energy. The local color change is expediently effected by producing black or dark surface elements 27 in a layer of the substrate 10, as shown in FIG 5 implied. The laser energy input L preferably takes place through the lenticular grid 17, as shown in 5 implied. The substrate 10 expediently consists of at least two layers 10, 18, 18a, 18b, 25, at least one of which—indicated by small circles D—is doped so that it becomes laser-sensitive. The remaining layers of the substrate 10 are preferably laser-transmissive. In the layer 18a, which is laser-sensitive due to the doping, the local color change is formed as an overlaid security element 26 as a result of the laser energy input L--for example using an NdYAG laser with 1064 nm.

The overlaid security element 26 can be a symbol, a free form, a sequence of alphanumeric characters, or an image. It can be designed for individual data carriers or standardized. 6 1 shows a moving representation 16 as an example of a security feature 11 with a superimposed security element 26, in which alphanumeric information 26 is introduced as a superimposed security element.

The superimposed security element 26 is also optically variable when viewed through the lenticular grid 17 . Depending on the viewing angle through the lenticular grid 17 another version of the superimposed security element 26 appears or the security element 26 is recognizable or not.

Furthermore, as in 5 indicated, the superimposed security element 26 is always recognizable even when viewed from the side opposite the lenticular grid 17, ie from the side bearing the representation 16, regardless of the viewing angle.

In a variant, the laser energy input for forming the superimposed security element 26 can also take place from the side of the substrate 10 opposite the lens grid 17 . The superimposed security feature 26 then shows no optically variable effect or only a slightly pronounced optically variable effect when viewed through the lens rater 17 .

7 shows a basic representation of a production of a security feature by means of a laminating device 20. The laminating device 20 is only shown in principle. In particular, means for generating pressure and/or an increased temperature are not shown.

Two laminating sheets 21 and 22 are shown, between which the substrate 10 is laminated. The substrate 10 is in the form of a sheet or film. The substrate 10 is placed between the two laminating sheets 21 and 22 . The two laminating sheets 21 and 22 are then moved towards the substrate 10 in order to build up pressure on it there. In this case, the temperature is usually increased in order to melt or at least heat the plastic material of the substrate 10 or of the layer structure.

A large number of light-diffracting or light-refracting structures are embedded in the laminating sheet 21 as an image - depending on the molding technique selected as a negative mold or as a positive mold or as a mixture of negative and positive molds - in the form of openings 21a, which form an inverted lens grid, for example. During lamination, the individual light-diffracting or light-refracting structures are formed in the substrate 10 by shaping the openings 21a and form a lens raster 17 there, for example.

The mold structures 23 of the representation 16 are incorporated as an image in the opposite laminating sheet 22 . The shape and relative position of the mold structures 23 were determined by calculation. The form structures 23 correspond to a two-dimensional printed pattern as a relief. It has been shown that molded structures 23 formed in the form of a relief achieve the same effect as a corresponding printed pattern.

The shaped structures 23 of the security feature have been introduced into the laminating sheet 22 using a laser cutting, milling, water jet cutting or a galvanic method, for example.

Before the mold structures 23 are introduced into the laminating sheet 22 and before the light-diffracting or light-refracting structures 17 are produced, these have each been calculated as a function of one another. In this way, a moving representation of the representations 16 with changing viewing angles can be achieved.

During the lamination, the lens raster 17 is simultaneously molded into the substrate 10 on one side of the substrate 10 and the representation 16 is formed on the other side. This creates the security feature 11 in the substrate 10 . Lenticular grid 17 and representation 16 are fused to the substrate 10 and are part of the substrate 10 , so that both are firmly connected to the substrate 10 .

8th 12 shows a laminating arrangement for multiple-up production of security elements 11. Two laminating sheets 21 and 22 are shown, between which the substrate 10 lies as a sheet or film.

A plurality of lens grids 17 are embedded in the laminating sheet 21 as a negative or, depending on the imaging technique, possibly also as a positive or as a mixture of both. A corresponding plurality of shaped structures 23 of the depiction 16 is introduced into the opposite laminating sheet 22 as images.

A plurality of security features 11 are formed in the substrate 10 in a lamination process. The substrate 10 is moved between the two laminating sheets 21 and 22 . The two laminating sheets 21 and 22 are then moved towards the substrate 10 in order to build up pressure on it there. In this case, the temperature is usually increased in order to melt or at least heat the plastic material of the substrate 10 .

The 9 show a basic representation of laminating sheets for the production of a security feature.

9a shows a basic representation of the laminating sheet 22 with the plurality of mold structures 23 of the representations 16. The mold structures 23 are arranged on the laminating sheet 22 in such a way that an area of the size of the subsequent security feature or the size of the subsequent data carrier remains free around each shaped structure 23 .

9b shows the second laminating sheet 21 with the light-diffracting or light-refracting structures 17, which are each arranged in an opening 21a. The openings 21a and thus the light-diffracting or light-refracting structures 17 are arranged at identical positions to the mold structures 23 on the laminating sheet 22. This ensures that the light-diffracting or light-refracting structures 17 are aligned with the representation 16 on the security feature to be produced. The spatial extensions of the light-diffracting or light-refracting structures do not have to be identical to those of the representations 16 .

10 shows a method for producing a security feature 11 for a data carrier 1. In a first step 10, a mold, such as a laminating sheet 22, is provided with a mold structure 23 of a representation 16 of the security feature 11. As shown above, a large number of mold structures 23 be provided on the mold. The mold structure 23 can be introduced into the mold using a laser cutting, milling, water jet cutting or a galvanic process, for example.

In a second step 11, the representation 16 is introduced into the substrate 10 by molding the mold structure 23. This preferably takes place during the lamination of the security feature 11 or the substrate 10. The mold structure 23 is pressed into the plastic material of the substrate under the influence of heat 10 embossed or pressed. The representation 16 created in this way comprises or consists of indentations in a surface of the substrate 10.

In a third step 120, a light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17 is arranged on the substrate 10. The light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17 can, for example, be fused to the substrate 10 or connected by means of an adhesive.

The order of the steps is not necessarily limited to this order. For example, arranging a light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17 can also take place as a first or second step. In particular, the arrangement of a light-diffracting or light-refracting structure 17 on the substrate 10 and the introduction of the representation 16 into the substrate 10 can take place in a common laminating process using a second laminating sheet 21 .

The security feature 11 described above can be produced with this method. The laminating sheets 21 and 22 described above or just the laminating sheet 22 can be used here.

While retaining the basic idea, the invention described above permits a large number of further configurations and modifications. In particular, the elements described may be arranged in configurations other than those described. The figures and the associated descriptions are not to be understood in such a way that only the exactly described embodiments can be implemented within the scope of the invention.
