Definitions

  • the invention relates to data carriers, in particular securities, documents, identity cards or the like.
  • an optically variable security element that contains a liquid crystal material. Because of the easier legibility, the abbreviation FK for liquid crystal is often used in the following.
  • optically variable elements as security elements is increasingly being propagated for data carriers.
  • Such elements have in common that they have different color or brightness renditions depending on the lighting and viewing conditions.
  • the most common optically variable elements include diffraction gratings, holograms, interference coatings, metameric colors and polarizing coatings.
  • a card is already known from WO-A-82/02445 which contains optically recognizable markings, these markings in turn being covered with a liquid-crystalline element.
  • the liquid-crystalline layer In the normal state, the liquid-crystalline layer is opaque, so that the marking underneath cannot be seen.
  • the liquid-crystalline layer can be brought into a transparent state, so that the marking for test purposes can then be recognized.
  • Interference coatings usually consist of several superimposed layers, the layer thicknesses being the size of the wavelength of the light.
  • Metameric printing inks usually consist of mixtures of pigments with different reflectance bands. This composition causes the metameric colors to change their visual color impression when the type of lighting is changed.
  • Dichroic dyes have the property of absorbing white light in different wavelength ranges depending on the direction of polarization. The result is a polarization-dependent color impression.
  • a disadvantage of the known optically variable authenticity features is that they are either very expensive to manufacture, cannot be processed with conventional manufacturing processes, or are only compatible to a limited extent with other authenticity features or card elements.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a feature which is effective as copy protection and which has viewing angle-dependent effects, which can be produced inexpensively and by conventional methods and is compatible or combinable with other features.
  • the invention is based on the use of liquid crystal polymers as security elements. After suitable oriented production at room temperature, these polymers represent a plastic-like solid with a pronounced interplay of colors. Such a suitable production process consists, for example, of knife coating the still liquid material onto a base and then curing it by means of UV radiation. Liquid crystal polymers and cholesteric organopolysiloxanes are particularly suitable as liquid crystal polymers. Suitable liquid crystal polymers, their chemical structure and their preparation are described in the published patent applications EP-OS 0 136 501, EP-OS 0 060 335 and EP-PS 0 066 137. Reference is expressly made to the disclosure content of these publications.
  • liquid crystals In spite of structural anisotropy, liquid crystals usually behave like a liquid, which is why it is necessary to enclose these materials in capsules or cavities. This results in a complicated manufacturing technique. In addition to the complex encapsulation of the LC materials, it is not possible due to the risk of injury to the cavities or capsules to embed the proposed security elements in the conventional manner under pressure and heat (classic laminating technology) in foils or identity papers. Encapsulated liquid crystals are also unsuitable as security elements on banknotes or securities with steel gravure printing, since the high pressure loads required in this manufacturing process lead to the destruction of the capsules and cavities.
  • liquid crystals can also be in solid form after appropriate processing and, depending on the processing method, have a high-grade alignment of their molecules, as a result of which the optically variable properties emerge in full and in full brilliance.
  • the color purity of the reflected light rarely exceeds a range of 100 nm, the color change effects with the change in the viewing angle are very pronounced, and the reflected and transmitted light has a pronounced circular polarization.
  • the fully developed optically variable properties make such LC polymers particularly suitable for use as security elements on data carriers, securities and ID cards.
  • the color changing games are easy to observe even for laypeople.
  • the wavelength-selective reflectivity and the polarization effects make the material highly suitable for automated testing.
  • the FK elements can also be used both as machine-readable authenticity features and together with other machine features. Due to the IR permeability of the LC polymers, the other machine features can also be arranged under the LC polymers under certain circumstances.
  • the solid-state properties of the FK polymers make it considerably easier to manufacture security elements from them. Firstly, there is no need to enclose the liquid crystals in a hollow body, secondly there is no risk of the liquid crystals bursting open and escaping during subsequent processing steps and during the life of the data carrier. The manufacturing processes and the application are extremely easy.
  • the plastic-like properties of the liquid crystal polymers enable easy processing into semi-finished or finished products.
  • the starting material is generally in the form of granules and can be shaped and processed further using the methods and machines known from plastics production. This makes it possible in the field of security technology to manufacture completely different types of security elements on the basis of LC polymers and to cover different applications.
  • Carrier webs made of a tear-resistant plastic can be coated with a layer of LC polymers. The resulting material web can then be cut into narrow webs or threads that can be embedded as security threads in paper or other materials.
  • multilayer film webs can also be produced which contain an embedded layer made of an LC polymer.
  • Such webs can be designed as adhesive tapes or transfer tapes, which are suitable for gluing or stamping transfer elements on paper or plastic surfaces.
  • LC polymers can also be produced as self-supporting films.
  • These foils can be used, for example, as foil layers for multi-layer ID cards.
  • LC polymers are a special variant of liquid crystals in which the liquid crystalline state is "frozen" in a polymer matrix, which makes the optical properties particularly significant.
  • liquid crystal polymers do not normally absorb light, and their color is created by multiple interference of light at the individual crystal planes. The color impression in reflected and transmitted light is accordingly different.
  • the reflected color spectrum contains only a narrow frequency range around a central wavelength and therefore shows a high color saturation.
  • the transmitted spectrum is complementary to the reflected spectrum and has a dip in the region around the central wavelength.
  • the lattice constants of oriented LC polymers according to the invention can be set in the range from 300 nm to 1000 nm or defined in the synthesis, so that the reflected central wavelength is in the near infrared or in the visible in the case of perpendicular incidence. As the observation angle becomes flatter, the central wavelength of the reflection band shifts in the direction of shorter wavelengths. For example, the wavelength reflected in the top view is about 20% larger than the reflection at 60.
  • the color impression can accordingly for special LC polymers from green to violet, from yellow to blue, from light red to green or change from black to red for an IR reflection band.
  • the lattice constant and thus the basic color of the liquid crystal polymer depend on the exact chemical structure of the liquid crystal and can be set in a defined manner in the range between 300 and 1000 nm by the synthesis conditions.
  • Fig. 2 shows an application of an FK polymer for a window security thread.
  • a security thread 13 has been embedded in a banknote 11 with a security print image 12 during the paper production in such a way that it comes to rest on the surface of the paper in the windows 14 and is thus visually recognizable.
  • the width of such security threads fluctuates between 0.5 and a few millimeters.
  • the security thread 13 is formed in such a way that it contains one or more layers made of an LC polymer. Variants for the production and for the construction of security threads are shown in FIGS. 3-7.
  • a security thread 13a shows in cross section a first variant for a security thread 13a; it consists of a plastic carrier 20, preferably a polyester film with a typical thickness of 20-100 micrometers is used for this.

  • the thread 13b consists of two carrier foils 20, both of which are coated on one side from a layer 21 made of LC polymers.
  • the carrier films 20 are connected to one another by a laminating agent 22 in such a way that a symmetrical layer structure with external LC layers is produced.
  • a laminating agent 22 In order to increase the color richness, one can optionally color the carrier webs 20 and / or the lamination mediator 22 with transparent or pigment colors.
  • a solution that is simple in terms of production technology is to color only the lamination mediator 22, preferably an opaque black is used for this.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further variant of a symmetrically constructed security thread 13c in cross section.
  • the carrier films 20 now lie on the outer sides of the thread 13c and thus protect the internal LC layers 21 from damage.
  • the lamination mediator is colored with a dye. Since the outer carrier layers 20 must remain transparent, they are either not colored at all or only weakly.
  • FIG. 6a and 6b show a further variant of a security thread 13d in cross section (FIG. 6a) and in supervision (FIG. 6b).
  • the thread 13d has analogous to FIG. 5, a symmetrical layer structure consisting of two carrier foils 20, two LC layers 21 and an adhesive layer 22.
  • the thread was assembled from two coated foil pairs 30, 31.
  • the surface 33 of one of the two pairs of foils was provided with a printed image 34 made of black color, and alphanumeric characters were applied to the surface of an LC polymer layer in a conventional printing process in micro script.
  • a transparent laminating agent 22 was used. In transmitted light, the characters now appear black in the window areas of the paper against the optically variable color background of the polymer layer. In contrast, only the micro characters show a color change in reflected light.
  • the characters 34 are applied in green microprint on one of the LC layers, while the lamination agent 22 is colored black.
  • the LC material is selected so that it appears green under a certain viewing angle, for example under vertical incidence on the black background. When observing the security thread at this angle, the entire area appears green. When the viewing angle changes, the color of the FK polymer layer changes, while in the font the green color remains dominant. The result is a security thread, the writing of which only becomes visible when the thread is tilted.
  • the security thread consists of a carrier film 20 and a layer 21 made of LC polymers.
  • the polymer layer was printed in a conventional printing process with a pattern of differently colored, diagonally extending strips 40. In the example shown, red 41, yellow 42, green 43, blue 44 was selected as a special color sequence for the pattern 40, the pattern being repeated any number of times over the thread length.
  • the colored surface areas 40 each appear with different color effects through the LC layer.
  • the color spectrum of the individual areas is made up of the reflection band of the printed dyes.

  • this embodiment variant can also be expanded to form a security thread with a symmetrical layer structure.
  • the variants shown in FIGS. 3-7 can be varied in a variety of ways depending on the desired appearance.

  • the variants of security threads shown in FIGS. 3-7 can be produced on the basis of a single semi-finished product.
  • a film web 20 made of a carrier material such as polyester plastic is coated with a layer 21 made of LC polymers.
  • LC polymers Depending on the color design of the security thread, printed, transparent or colored carrier foils are used.
  • the thickness of the film web is preferably in the range of less than a tenth of a millimeter, and a film thickness of approximately 10 micrometers is usually sufficient for the LC coating. Due to the manufacturing process, the typical web widths of the semi-finished product are in the range of one meter.
  • the carrier web and / or the LC layer are printed with the desired patterns or characters on known printing machines in a suitable manufacturing process.
  • the coated and possibly printed film webs are placed on top of one another and connected with a laminating agent.
  • the final thread width is between 0.5 and 5.0 mm, depending on the intended use.
  • the threads thus obtained are particularly suitable for embedding in paper, but can also be embedded between the plastic layers of an identification card.
  • Another class of security elements are the transfer elements, they are often open Credit cards, ID cards, banknotes, securities and the like applied to protect them against counterfeiting and in particular against duplication by copying.
