Description

The present invention relates to two-dimensional image carriers with an optical representation and optical representations on a two-dimensional image carrier.

In particular, improvements are achieved in the field of transmission of optically presented information.

To produce an optical representation on a flat image carrier, a motif is usually applied to a flat image carrier. This motif can then be received by the viewer as an optical representation on the image carrier.

The disadvantage here is the limitation of the optical representation to one motif per image carrier. The range of optical information and impressions that can be transmitted overall with the image carrier is severely limited.

Of course it is possible to apply several motifs next to each other and/or one below the other on a picture carrier, e.g. in the case of picture sequences. However, there is no direct relationship between the individual motifs, and it is not possible for a second motif to directly vary, interpret or relate the optical information conveyed by a first motif.

The creation of a three-dimensional effect or a depth effect on a two-dimensional, flat image carrier has also not been possible up to now. Known optical representations are also limited in this regard.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages arising from the prior art.

Furthermore, the object is to overcome limitations of known optical representations on flat image carriers with regard to the transmission of optical information, which are associated with the limitation of known representations to a motif.

With regard to flat image carriers with an optical representation, this object is achieved with the features of claim 1 and with the features of claim 20 .

With regard to optical representations, this object is achieved with the features of claim 36.

Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are the subject matter of the respective subordinate claims.

• - das zweite Motiv ausschnittsweise, der Ausdehnung der zweiten Teilbereiche des ersten Motivs entsprechend, mit Farbmitteln selektiv auf die zweiten Teilbereiche des ersten Motivs aufgebracht ist, so dass in den zweiten Teilbereichen die Farbmittel des ersten Motivs von den Farbmitteln des zweiten Motivs überdeckt sind,
• - so dass die optische Darstellung in den ersten Teilbereichen aus dem ersten Motiv und in den zweiten Teilbereichen aus dem zweiten Motiv besteht.

With the features of claim 1, a flat image carrier is proposed with an optical representation, the optical representation representing optical information from at least two different and/or mutually displaced motifs, namely at least a first motif and a second motif, wherein

• - the first motif is applied to the image carrier with colorants,

• - so that the optical representation consists of the first motif in the first sub-areas and the second motif in the second sub-areas.

1. a) Aufbringen, mit Farbmitteln, des ersten Motivs auf den Bildträger,
2. b) Abdecken von ersten Teilbereichen des ersten Motivs mit flächigen, für Farbmittel undurchlässigen Abdeckmitteln, wobei verbleibende zweite Teilbereiche des ersten Motivs nicht abgedeckt werden,
3. c) Aufbringen, mit Farbmitteln, des zweiten Motivs auf den Bildträger, nämlich auf die abgedeckten ersten Teilbereiche und die nicht abgedeckten zweiten Teilbereiche des ersten Motivs, so dass die Farbmittel der nicht abgedeckten zweiten Teilbereiche des ersten Motivs von den Farbmitteln des zweiten Motivs überdeckt werden,
4. d) Entfernen der Abdeckmittel, so dass die resultierende optische Darstellung in den ersten Teilbereichen aus dem ersten Motiv und in den zweiten Teilbereichen aus dem zweiten Motiv besteht.

With the features of claim 20, a flat image carrier is proposed with an optical representation, the optical representation representing optical information from at least two different and/or mutually displaced motifs, namely at least a first motif and a second motif, the image carrier being following steps is manufactured or can be manufactured:

1. a) Applying the first motif to the image carrier with colorants,
2. b) covering of first partial areas of the first motif with flat covering means that are impermeable to colorants, with remaining second partial areas of the first motif not being covered,
3. c) Applying the second motif to the image carrier with colorants, namely to the covered first partial areas and the uncovered second partial areas of the first motif, so that the colorants of the uncovered second partial areas of the first motif are covered by the colorants of the second motif ,
4. d) removing the covering means, so that the resulting optical representation in the first partial areas of the first motif and in the second partial areas consists of the second motif.

According to the features of claim 36, the invention also relates to an optical representation, the optical representation representing optical information from at least two different and/or mutually displaced motifs, namely at least a first motif and a second motif, the optical representation for an inventive flat image carrier is provided or suitable, or is applied to a flat image carrier according to the invention.

With the present invention, a surprisingly far-reaching expansion of the hitherto known possibilities of conveying optical information and impressions to the recipient with an optical representation on a flat image carrier is achieved.

With the measures according to the invention, an optical display is created which can display a first motif in first sub-areas and a second motif in second sub-areas.

The first motif and the second motif can be superimposed on the one hand, but can still be perceived separately, namely on the same flat image carrier. The motifs are not attached next to each other or one below the other, but overlap in some areas without completely covering each other. As a result, a multidimensional or deeply structured effect is created in a surprising way. A clear demarcation of two motifs can remain in the depiction, but the impression of an optical fusion of the motifs can still be achieved because the motifs are applied one above the other.

In doing so, it is surprisingly possible to enormously increase the bandwidth of the optical information that can be conveyed by the optical representation. A second motif can directly establish or refer to a first motif within the same visual representation, and can expand the visual information of the first motif with additional visual information, comment on it or place it in a desired context.

A direct relationship between the individual motifs can thus arise, and a direct variation, interpretation, commentary or reference to the optical information transmitted by a first motif through a second motif becomes possible.

According to the invention, a three-dimensional effect or a large depth effect of an optical representation arranged on a two-dimensional, flat image carrier is also made possible.

The aspects according to the invention are discussed further below, for which purpose reference is made in part to non-limiting advantageous configurations and developments of the invention. The features of advantageous developments that have already been discussed and those that follow can be implemented individually or in any combination, as a result of which further advantageous developments of the invention are created.

The features described above and below of advantageous developments of flat image carriers according to the invention can also be implemented in a corresponding manner in optical representations according to the invention, and thereby individually or in any combination, whereby further advantageous embodiments of the invention are created. The same applies to the reverse case, i.e. features of advantageous developments of optical representations according to the invention can also be implemented in a corresponding manner in flat image carriers according to the invention.

In a first preferred embodiment, covering means have film-like or paper-like covering means. Suitable covering means preferably prevent the penetration of colorants of a second motif applied later onto the colorants of the first motif partially covered with the covering means, at least for the duration of the processing.

Covering means particularly preferably have self-adhesive covering means, in particular adhesive strips. This also preferably relates to covering means, which counteract the penetration or diffusion of colorants of the second motif under the edge of the covering means. On the other hand, preference is given to self-adhesive covering means, in particular adhesive strips, which can be removed from the first motif without leaving any residue and which do not unintentionally remove any color of the first motif with their adhesive layer.

Covering means preferably have adhesive strips with different widths, preferably with widths of 5, 10 and 20 mm. In this way, the transmission of optical information can be adapted particularly effectively in some areas.

In a further preferred embodiment of the products according to the invention, the first partial areas are designed in such a way that they are defined as one from the other and/or as each of represent mutually spaced areas, in particular in the form of strips.

In a further advantageous embodiment, first partial areas each have a strip shape, with adjacent strips being arranged following a geometric arrangement, in particular arranged parallel to one another or in a fan shape.

More preferably, a plurality of adjacent strips, in particular a number of 4-20 adjacent strips, is arranged as a family of strips. A first set of strips can intersect a different second set of strips at an angle which is preferably 60-120°.

Further developments of the invention in which the first subareas are essentially distributed over the entire image carrier have also proven to be advantageous. This makes it easier for the recipient to recognize or at least guess the first motif in the scope of the first sub-areas. Consequently, in such a case, the second motif is also easily recognizable at the same time, since the second partial areas that are decisive for this are then distributed in a corresponding manner over the entire image carrier.

Further configurations of the invention are preferred in which the products have first partial areas whose total area makes up a proportion of the total area of the first motif and/or the flat image carrier of 20-80%, in particular 30-70%, in particular 40-60% %, and in particular about 50%. These configurations also improve the recognizability of both motifs.

In further advantageous developments, the first motif and/or the second motif is applied essentially to the entire surface of the flat image carrier. This allows a particularly far-reaching conveyance of optical information within the framework of two different motifs.

In further preferred developments, the first motif and/or the second motif is applied to the flat image carrier by hand, in particular by painting.

A painting is preferably produced as the visual representation, or the visual representation is a painting.

In further advantageous configurations, the colorants have paint colors, in particular acrylic paints.

The flat image carrier preferably has a screen. The canvas can also preferably have a primer, which is in particular already applied before the first motif is applied.

A flat image carrier or an optical representation is preferably produced or can be produced by a drying step after the application of the first motif and/or after the application of the second motif.

A varnish is preferably applied to the optical representation, in particular as a glaze. In particular, an optional varnish is applied following the application of all colorants.

The flat image carrier can preferably have a rectangular base area and can in particular have one of the following dimensions (width x height): 60 x 60 cm, 80 x 80 cm, 100 x 100 cm, 100 x 120 cm, 120 x 150 cm, or 200x200 cm.

example

The exemplary embodiment of the invention described below is given by way of example and is not restrictive. The production of a preferred exemplary embodiment of a flat image carrier according to the invention and thus at the same time a preferred exemplary embodiment of an optical representation according to the invention is described, with which the relevant products are also described.

First of all, a canvas is primed with Gesso as a flat image carrier in order to increase the adhesion of the colourants, here as paints, specifically as acrylic paints.

In a first step, a complete first motif is then manually applied to the canvas with acrylic paints, namely painted in this case. The first motif essentially or completely fills the entire canvas.

After the paint has dried, the finished first motif is essentially distributed over the entire surface of the canvas, but locally only covered with covering means, here adhesive strips, only in the scope of the first partial areas. In the first partial areas, the covering means prevent the colorants of the first motif from being covered over by further colorants that are applied later.

It is also preferable that the adhesive strips can be removed from the first motif without leaving any residue, and that no paint is used be removed again unintentionally through the adhesive layer by means of the first motif.

The adhesive strips used as covering means have different widths. They are applied in the overall aspect in such a way that they cover the first partial areas of the first motif that has already been painted, which are later to be retained and recognizable in the finished optical representation.

This is an important step, because if the first, covered areas are too small overall, the first motif can no longer be guessed at or recognized later. If the first partial areas are too large overall and the second partial areas are therefore too small overall, the second motif can later no longer be guessed at or recognized.

However, the preferred goal is that both motifs can later be clearly recognized in the finished optical representation.

After covering the first partial areas of the first motif with the adhesive strips, the second motif is then applied manually to the canvas with acrylic paints, namely painted. The second motif is painted over the covered first partial areas and the uncovered second partial areas of the first motif. The second motif then essentially or completely fills the entire canvas. At this stage, the first motif is no longer recognizable at all.

After drying again, this time the second motif, the covering means, namely the adhesive strips, are removed again in the penultimate step. This makes the first motif visible again in the first partial areas. Together with the second motif that is visible in the second partial areas, both motifs can now be seen in a common optical representation.

The products according to the invention described here allow the superimposition and merging of two completely different motifs. In this regard, reference should also be made to the attached figures. In the optical effect, a unique optical representation is created, which is applied two-dimensionally to a flat image carrier, but conveys a great depth effect and a multi-dimensional impression, and seems to have a multi-layer structure.

Finally, a varnish is applied using a glaze, which increases the color strength and protects the finished optical representation from UV rays and moisture.

The production of a further preferred exemplary embodiment of a flat image carrier according to the invention and thus at the same time a further preferred exemplary embodiment of an optical representation according to the invention is described, with the relevant products being discussed at the same time.

Developments of the advantageous configurations and exemplary embodiments described above with features of the exemplary embodiments below expressly form further advantageous configurations of the invention, just like developments of the exemplary embodiments described below with features of the configurations and exemplary embodiments described above, and are therefore part of the present disclosure.

With regard to the following explanation of the figures, reference should be made in general to the fact that reference numbers already shown in previous figures and explained above in this regard have not been applied again in part for reasons of clarity in subsequent figures and/or in part based on these subsequent figures not be explained again. For the explanation of such reference symbols and the associated technical features, in order to avoid repetition, reference is therefore made in full to the respective description for the corresponding preceding figures.

Show it:

• 1 a top view of a flat image carrier with a first motif applied thereto,
• 2 the flat image carrier 1 , wherein in a next step, first partial areas of the first motif are covered with covering means,
• 3 the flat image carrier from the previous figures, wherein in another step a second motif is applied to the first motif and to the covering means, and
• 4 the flat image carrier from the previous figures, wherein after the removal of the covering means the finished flat image carrier can be seen with the finished optical representation with optical information from the first and from the second motif.

1 shows a plan view of a flat image carrier 10 with a first motif 121 applied thereto. In this example, the flat image carrier 10 is a screen 14. The screen 14 has a rectangular base area. In the present example, the screen 14 has a width and height of approximately 120×120 cm.

The first motif 121 has been applied by hand to the flat image carrier 10 with colorants, namely here with paints, specifically with acrylic paints, namely painted. For this purpose, the first motif 121 has been painted onto the canvas 14, which has been primed beforehand.

The first motif 121 has been applied to the entire surface of the flat image carrier 10, namely the canvas 14. In other words, the first motif 121 fills the screen 14 completely.

2 shows the flat image carrier 10 1 , being opposite 1 in a next step, first partial areas 161 of the first motif 121 are covered with covering means 18 .

For this purpose, after the first motif 121 has dried, the first partial regions 161 of the first motif 121 have been covered with flat covering means 18 that are impermeable to colorants. For this purpose, self-adhesive covering means 18, namely adhesive strips 20 here, have been used. In the first partial areas 161, the adhesive strips 20 have been applied directly with the adhesive underside to the coloring agent of the first motif 121.

In addition to impermeability to colorants, there are other desirable properties of the adhesive strips 20 in that they can be removed from the first motif 121 without leaving any residue, and no colorants from the first motif 121 are carried along with them. Removable adhesive strips 20 with appropriate properties are commercially available in a wide variety of designs.

Various adhesive strips 20 with widths of 5, 10 and 20 mm have been used here.

The covering means 18, namely the adhesive strips 20, are also used to cover first partial regions 161 of the first motif 121, which are represented as regions 161 that are delimited from one another and spaced apart from one another, namely in the form of strips 22.

It is easy to see that adjacent strips 22 have been covered following a geometric arrangement, in this case parallel to one another.

In each case, a plurality of adjacent strips 22, namely in each case a number of approximately 4-20 adjacent strips 22, have been covered as a group 24 of strips 22. Here, a first group 241 of strips 22 intersects a different second group 242 of strips 22 at an angle of 90°.

Furthermore, it is easy to see here that in the present exemplary embodiment, the first partial areas 161 covered with adhesive strips 20 are distributed essentially over the entire image carrier 10 . This promotes the later recognisability of the optical information from two different motifs 121, 122, namely in that both the first motif 121 and the second motif 122 (not yet shown here) remain recognizable when viewed individually.

3 shows the flat image carrier 10 from the previous figures, with opposite 2 in a further step, a second motif 122 has been applied to the first motif 121 and to the covering means 18 .

Specifically, the second motif 122 has been applied to the covered first partial areas 161 and the uncovered second partial areas 162 of the first motif 121, so that the colorants of the first motif 121 in the uncovered second partial areas 162 are covered by the colorants of the second motif 122 . In the area of the covered first partial areas 161, on the other hand, the covering means 18 form the substrate for the colorant of the second motif 122. The partial areas 161, 162 are in 3 not readily distinguishable, these are in 2 shown.

Like the first motif 121 in 1 is also the second motif 122 in 3 been applied essentially to the entire surface of the flat image carrier 10, namely the screen 14.

Likewise, the second motif 122 has been applied to the canvas 14 by hand, namely painted. For this purpose, paints, namely acrylic paints, have been used as colorants.

According to 3 At this stage, only the fully applied second motif 122 can be seen in a comprehensible manner, but the contours of the painted-over adhesive strips 20, which serve as covering means 18, can also still be guessed at.

4 shows the flat image carrier 10 from the previous figures, with opposite 3 after the removal of the covering means 18 the finished optical representation 300 with optical information from the first motif 121 and from the second motif 122 can be seen. In this respect, the finished flat image carrier 10 can also be seen here.

Across from 3 Here the adhesive strips 20 have been pulled off the first motif 121 again as covering means 18 . At the same time, the colorants of the second motif 122 located in the first partial regions 161, namely on the covering means 18, have been removed from the first motif 121 or from the representation 300 again. The first motif 121 is opposite 3 to this extent been uncovered again in the scope of the first partial areas 161 . In the second partial areas 162, on the other hand, the representation 300 consists of the colorants of the second motif 122.

In other words, the resulting optical representation 300 consists of the first motif 121 in the first partial areas 161 and the second motif 122 in the second partial areas 162.

To protect the optical representation 300, a varnish made of a glaze is also applied to it.

4 12 thus shows products according to the invention, namely a flat image carrier 10 with a visual representation 300, wherein the visual representation 300 reproduces visual information from at least two different and/or mutually displaced motifs 121, 122, namely at least a first motif 121 and a second motif 122 .

In this case, the first motif 121 is applied to the image carrier 10 with colorants, and the first motif 121 is subdivided into two-dimensional first sub-areas 161 and two-dimensional second sub-areas 162 .

The second motif 122 is selectively applied to the second partial areas 162 of the first motif 121 with colorants, corresponding to the extent of the second partial areas 162 of the first motif 121, so that in the second partial areas 162 the colorants of the first motif 121 differ from the colorants of the second motif 122 are covered.

The resulting optical representation 300 thus consists of the first motif 121 in the first sub-areas 161 and of the second motif 122 in the second sub-areas 162.

It is thus possible to display two completely different motifs 121, 122 on a single image carrier 10 without spatial separation, each of which surprisingly remains recognizable. In this respect, a broadening of the content or a reference, as is the case here, between different visual information can be achieved.

Accordingly, the present invention is in no way limited to a painting shown here, but rather is applicable to the entire range of transmission of optically represented information.
