Description

Safety and/or value document with photonic crystal
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of safety and/or value document with safety element, wherein safety element contains and is arranged in suprabasil photonic crystal and a kind of luminescent substance, and substrate has the sensing about the substrate surface definition.The invention still further relates to a kind of method of safety and/or value document and method of a kind of authenticating security and/or value document made.
Background technology
In valency printing and security printing are arranged always with the color of optically-variable as good security feature just can test simply because these colors need not the technology aid.By putting into practice as can be known for example color of these optically-variables of banknote and file.Although these colors are difficult to copy, yet as often very hurry in the check of cashier, therefore can only observe the existence of change color.Based on most color and pigment, for example have these effects and liquid crystal or thin slice that can be commercial, it is known that printing is forged, and distinguishes to some extent with original colour switching look although printing is forged obviously, the certain None-identified of the layman who lacks experience is true and false.
The security system that another kind is widely known by the people comprises the use of luminescent substance.In most of files of valency printing and security printing are arranged, cold light is arranged, because cold light can't copy with simple instrument (printer, duplicating machine), and only need the UV light source just can test.Defective is that most people is only done quick test with color impression, therefore luminously can for example imitate with marking pen in the part.In contrast, accurate study needs expensive spectrometer, can distinguish different emission wavelengths with it.Although realized thus a kind of simple and reliable machine check MACH CHK, the expense of instrument aspect is huge, thereby high cost.
By document WO 2006/045567 A2 as can be known a kind of this paper start safety and/or the value document of described structure.At this, use a kind of layer as photonic crystal, described layer by have ball that single mode diameter closely distributes in other words spheroid consist of, wherein spheroid consists of spherical close packing, namely consists of crystal structure.Therefore the diameter of ball concerning the various compositions of visible light, is shown with different conditioned reflexes by Bragg's law on the various crystal faces of crystal in this scope at 50-500nm.Obtain thus a kind of color effect of optically-variable, namely observe in their situation from the viewing angle that changes in other words in deflection safety and/or value document.According to this prior art, safety and/or value document can additionally contain luminescent substance.The diameter of spheroid is selected like this, makes it possible to access desired optically variable effects, and is totally independent of possible luminous.
For example in citing document WO 03/025035 A2, US 4,391,928, EP 0 441 559B1 and EP 0 955 323 B1, put down in writing the scheme of suitable manufacturing photonic crystal.
Luminous Shu Tongchang does not have directivity characteristics, because launching centre is in the inner static orientation of coating, printing ink or analog.By other technical field for example laser diode techniques cause luminous layer structure along certain space direction reflection or the thickness that strengthens forward to produce the luminous of orientation by having with its layer as can be known.Because production cost is too high, this structure is not to be applicable to very much valency printing and security printing.
Summary of the invention
Therefore technical matters to be solved by this invention is, a kind of safety element is provided, even it can also can obtain check with minimum aid at an easy rate when observation and comparison is hurry, and reliability is improved.
For solving this technical problem, the instruction that the present invention provides is that the emission wavelength lambda of luminescent substance and the grating constant of photonic crystal are coordinated with each other and predetermined by following formula:
lambda=m*2*d,
Wherein, d is two interplanar distances of photonic crystal, and m is positive integer.
In other words, consist of the particulate of photonic crystal in view of diameter and arrangement and the coordination of transmitted wave appearance, so that luminous intensity is different under different viewing angles.
By the present invention, the reliable of luminous safe element there has been considerable improvement with simply checking.Because the reviewer only need make safety and/or value document be subject to a kind of irradiation of stimulated luminescence, the for example irradiation of UV, and check i) whether observe luminous, and ii) if whether this luminous intensity changes when safety and/or value document tilt.Only when meeting above-mentioned two standards, it is genuine that safety and/or value document just are considered to.No longer can copy with simple instrument by luminous safe element of the present invention.
The understanding of utilization of the present invention is that photonic crystal also can be used for making unoriented luminous radiation own to obtain the anisotropy distribution of intensity in Space Angle by refraction.
What be called as safety and/or value document for example is: I.D., travelling passport, ID card, pass, visa, duty stamp, ticket, driving license, running car card, banknote, check, stamp, credit card, any chip card and adhesive label (for example being used for product protection).These safety and/or value document have overlayer transparent on substrate, printed layers and the optics usually.Substrate is a kind of supporting structure, and the printed layers that contains information, image, pattern and analog is laid in the substrate.The specialized material of all paperys and/or plastics matter all is suitable as the material of substrate.
Safety element is the structural unit that comprises at least one security feature.Safety element can be a kind of can be for example to be connected bonding absolute construction unit with safety and/or value document, but safety element also can be the indivisible ingredient of safety and/or value document.The former example is exactly the visa that can be attached on safety and/or the value document.An example that is used for the latter is the integrated planar structure that for example is laminated in bank note or the voucher.The latter also comprises and is placed in suprabasil layer or coating.
Security feature is a kind of structure, the expense that it can improve with (relatively simply copying) or even produce without permission, reproduce, juggle things or change.Security feature in framework of the present invention by photonic crystal with luminescent substance is compound consists of.Compound concept is a kind of coupling of optics at this, is accompanied by the mutual coordination of interplanar distance and emission wavelength.
Luminous refer to the especially electromagnetic radiation in IR, visible light or UV scope relax towards emission the process that the lower state of energy relaxes towards electronic ground state usually from excited state in atom or molecular electronic system.At this, by exciting before electric energy or electromotive force (electroluminescence), electronics bombardment (cathodeluminescence), photon bombardment (photoluminescence), heat effect (thermoluminescence) or friction (triboluminescence) realization.In framework of the present invention, be preferably photoluminescence.Luminous phosphorescence and (light-) fluorescence of especially comprising.
Fluorescence be to active electronic state deactivating aspect the radiation, wherein, for example the transformation to ground state is (spinerlaubt) that allows spin from the active state to the low-energy state.The residence time at active state is about 10 usually -8S, that is the emission of fluorescence directly stops after the energy that is used for exciting is introduced end.In contrast, phosphorescence be in mutual anabolic process to active state forbid spinning deactivate.Therefore relaxation is faint and slow.The residence time of active state be several milliseconds until several hours, and the corresponding emission that can observe muchly fluorescence.
The emission wavelength of luminescent substance is distinctive to the material of usefulness, and by active state and low energy electrons state for example the energy difference between the ground state determine.At this, the interior maximum emission intensity of emission spectrum is called as emission wavelength.
