Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diffractive security element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • EP 0 360 969 A1 describes diffractive security elements in which the surface elements have asymmetrical diffraction gratings.
  • the asymmetrical diffraction gratings are arranged in pairs and in mirror symmetry in each case in two surface elements with a common boundary.
  • Special asymmetrical diffraction gratings, which act like mirrors placed at an angle, are described in WO 97/19821.
  • FIG. 6 shows deflection characteristics of optically effective structures
  • FIG. 7 shows a diffraction structure in a layer composite
  • FIG. 8 shows the Fourier space representation of the diffraction structure
  • FIG. 9 shows the security element with a pattern element in a top view
  • the relief elements of the matt structure have a preferred direction of the microscopic relief structure elements parallel to the coordinate x.
  • the scattered light therefore has an anisotropic distribution.
  • the solid angle 16 predetermined by the scattering capacity of the matt structure is drawn apart in an ellipse in the direction of the coordinate y.
  • the beams 20 (FIG. 6), 21 (FIG. 6) diffracted in a highly directed manner by means of the diffraction grating 24 (FIG. 1) are expanded by the matt structure.
  • the contrast When tilted, the contrast does not change, but the mixed color perceived by the observer as long as the observer's viewing direction is within the solid angle 32 (FIG. 14). the positive diffraction order remains. As soon as the observer's line of sight coincides with directions within the solid angle 33 (FIG. 14) of the negative diffraction order, the contrast between the band parts lying within the contour 36 and the band parts lying outside the contour 36 is reversed, that is to say the band parts are within the contour 36 less bright than the ones outside Band parts. Outside the solid angles 32 and 33, the areas of the bands 34 are uniformly dark or cannot be observed.
