In order to observe the feature of electroluminescent spectrum more clearly, so that the true and false that the operator can visual and accurate evaluation value document along with frequency change.The exciting field of frequency change causes that it is proper mode that the electroluminescent pigment of spectrum change and the electroluminescent pigment that exciting field does not cause spectrum change are used.
For example, the pigment in two kinds of electroluminescent printing ink, wherein a kind of printing ink is to mix Mn and Cu in the zinc sulphide matrix, and the pigment in another printing ink is to mix Mn in the zinc sulphide matrix.Because the luminescent lifetime difference of Mn, two kinds of centres of luminescence of Cu, the electric field that frequency is lower than 150Hz excites down, and the Mn centre of luminescence is activated easily, and the Cu centre of luminescence is not easy to activate, electroluminescent mainly is that the transition of Mn Validation Counter causes that the color of two kinds of electroluminescent pigment is about the same; Increase along with the exciting field frequency, the Cu centre of luminescence is activated gradually, when the electric field of frequency greater than 5000Hz excites down, the emission spectra of Cu centre of luminescence correspondence is more and more stronger, the electroluminescent color that zinc sulphide is mixed Mn and Cu moves to shortwave gradually, the electroluminescent pigment of mixing Mn with zinc sulphide forms tangible contrast, exactly because the luminescent lifetime difference of this Mn, two kinds of centre of luminescence correspondences of Cu causes.By observing emission spectrum, thereby determine the difference of the luminescent lifetime of luminous pigment, differentiate the true and false of electroluminescent pigment on this basis, thereby the authenticity of value document is differentiated with the exciting field frequency change.
In fact, electroluminescent pigment generally all has the characteristic of luminescence generated by light, and the spectral signature under the optical excitation and the high-frequency electric field spectral signature under exciting is more approaching.Mix Cu and Mn and zinc sulphide as the above-mentioned zinc sulphide of mentioning and mix Mn color under optical excitation and be respectively, the former is green partially, and the latter is yellow partially, and the former luminescent spectrum comprises the latter's spectrum.In order to make the adulterator difficult discovering the difference of this luminescent lifetime, can in mixing the electroluminescent pigment of Mn, zinc sulphide add the green luminous pigment of colorless fluorescent, make that the fluorescence color of two kinds of printing ink is almost approaching under ultraviolet excitation, human eye is difficult to differentiate.The luminous printing ink that this pairing is used has several characteristic, and under ultraviolet excitation, color is almost consistent, excite down at LCF, color is basically identical also, excites down at high-frequency electric field, color demonstrates evident difference, by these features, can differentiate the true and false of value document.
In addition, for the gravure ink that makes the electroluminescent color-change that frequency relies on has higher hidden function, can add the very little UV absorption transparent pigment of an amount of particle diameter, as the fine particle of TiO2, under ultraviolet excitation, because the effect of UV absorption pigment, can not excite electroluminescent pigment to launch fluorescence, yet excite down at electric field, the UV absorption transparent pigment can be not bigger influences the electric field excitaton source, and electroluminescent can be normally luminous.
The electric field that excites of frequency change causes the electroluminescent material that electroluminescent spectrum changes, application is except adding to pigment the mode of printing in the printing ink, also be included in and join paper, join fiber, be prepared into forms such as safety line and be applied to the false proof of value document.
For example, variable color electroluminescent paper, in the paper forming process, the electro-luminescent particles of two kinds of different qualities of directed dispensing.By applying electric field, when frequency changes, the situation that other electric field parameters are constant can find that the color of different electro-luminescent particles changes.Particularly, can be implemented in certain frequency and excite down, the glow color of two kinds of light-emitting particles is the same; Change frequency to a certain value, obvious variation will take place in color.
Variable color electroluminescent safety line, coated heat melten gel on the PET film of aluminizing, and reserving not coated heat melten gel of abundant position somewhere, purpose is in order to guarantee that electrode can contact with the aluminium coated on the PET.Then, in the melten gel position, by heat treatment light-emitting particles and PET film are bonded together afterwards.This film is cut required width obtain the luminous safety line of variable color.Detector by suitable applies electric field, and when frequency changes, the situation that other electric field parameters are constant can find that the color of different electro-luminescent particles changes.Particularly, can be implemented in certain frequency and excite down, the glow color of two kinds of light-emitting particles is the same; Change frequency to a certain value, obvious variation will take place in color.
Identify the method for this value document, the first step uses the electric field that excites of at least two frequencies to excite the suprabasil electroluminescent property material of value document; In second step, the variation of frequency causes that the electroluminescent spectrum shape of property material changes; In the 3rd step, when the variation of spectral shape and predefined meeting, announce that this value document is a genuine piece.
The specific wavelength that excites electric field to produce is the needs according to the value document authenticity, selects a wavelength in the electroluminescent spectrum scope, and preferred electroluminescent spectrum resolves into the wavelength of the peak position correspondence of one or more Gaussian function stacks.
The AC field that the described alternating voltage that excites electric field to be meant that positive and negative electrode alternately changes causes, described frequency is meant 50Hz-50KHz, preferred 200Hz-5KHz scope.
In machine-readable process, according to the be stimulated influence of source frequency of electroluminescent emission spectrum, so can detect electroluminescent spectrum with the influence that excites electric field frequency to change by before photo-detector, adding optical filter when.
Utilize the present invention, by at the surface printing of the carrier of value document or be embedded at least one safeguard construction, this safeguard construction comprises the electroluminescent property material of a specific luminescent lifetime at least, this electroluminescent property material can excite at the electric field of specific change down, specific variation takes place in emission spectrum, this specific relation is judged, has realized utilizing electroluminescent to identify the true and false of value document, makes the true and false of identifying marketable securities simple more, accurately and be easy to realize.
The printing ink pairing of the present invention by two kinds of different colours variation characteristics used, thereby simpler, accurately and the mode value document that is easy to realize false proof.

The variation of the electroluminescent spectral signature that the electric field that changes for observed frequency excites, the electroluminescent substance pairing of the preferred two kinds of luminescent lifetime features of a simple coded system is used.Two kinds of electroluminescent substance that for example have the different frequency response are mixed with the same one side that printing-ink is printed on same value document, and the spectrum of this electroluminescent property material emission is at visible-range.Two kinds of color of ink are made into unanimity or very approaching under the visible light, and human eye is difficult for discovering.In some cases, because two kinds of electroluminescent printing ink are under ultraviolet excitation, color has fine difference, produces the colorless fluorescent powder of fluorescence by adding a spot of burst of ultraviolel, makes two kinds of electroluminescent printing ink excite at uviol lamp that color is about the same down.In order to make the adulterator be difficult for discovering this coding form, under common electroluminescent testing conditions, when being the 400Hz left and right sides as frequency, glow color is consistent or very approaching under the electroluminescent substance electric field excitation that uses in the coding, and under the electric field excitation of another one frequency such as 4000Hz, sends the light of different colours, the mode that pairing is used, no matter be that human eye or machine read, all be easy to detect coding, thereby differentiate the true and false of value document.
