Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diffractive security element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • diffractive security elements are used to authenticate items such as banknotes, ID cards of all kinds, valuable documents, in order to determine the authenticity of the item without much effort.
  • the diffractive security element is firmly connected to the object in the output of the article in the form of a cut from a thin layer composite brand.
  • Diffractive security elements of the type mentioned are from the EP 0 105 099 A1 and the EP 0 375 833 A1 known. These security elements comprise a pattern of tessellated surface elements having a diffraction grating. The diffraction gratings are azimuthally arranged in such a way that upon rotation the visible pattern generated by diffracted light performs a predetermined course of motion.
  • the US 4,856,857 describes the construction of transparent security elements with embossed microscopically fine relief structures. These diffractive security elements generally consist of one piece of a thin laminate of plastic.
  • the boundary layer between two of the layers has microscopically fine reliefs of light-diffracting structures. To increase the reflectivity, the boundary layer between the two layers is coated with a mostly metallic reflection layer.
  • the structure of the thin layer composite and the materials used for this purpose are, for example, in US 4,856,857 and the WO 99/47983 described. From the DE 33 08 831 A1 It is known to apply the thin layer composite with the aid of a carrier film on an object.
  • the disadvantage of the known diffractive security elements is the difficulty of visually recognizing complicated, optically changing patterns in a narrow solid angle and the extremely high Surface brightness justified, under which a surface area occupied by a diffraction grating is visible to an observer.
  • the high surface brightness can also make the recognizability of the shape of the surface element more difficult.
  • An easy to recognize security element is from the WO 83/00395 known. It consists of a diffractive subtractive color filter which, when illuminated with, for example, daylight, reflects red light in one viewing direction and, after rotation of the security element, reflects 90 ° light of another color in its plane.
  • the security element consists of plastic-embedded fine fins made of a transparent dielectric with a refractive index that is much larger than the refractive index of the plastic.
  • the lamellae form a lattice structure with a spatial frequency of 2500 lines / mm and reflect red light with very high efficiency in the zeroth order of diffraction when the white light incident on the lamellar structure is polarized such that the E-vector of the incident light is parallel to the light Slats is aligned.
  • the lamellar structure reflects green light in the zeroth diffraction order; for even higher spatial frequencies, the reflected color in the spectrum goes into the blue region.
  • the US 4,426,130 describes transparent, reflective sinusoidal phase grating structures.
  • the phase grating structures are designed such that they have the greatest possible diffraction efficiency in one of the first two diffraction orders.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cost-effective and easy to recognize, diffractive security element that is easily visually verifiable in daylight.
  • FIG. 1 1 denotes a layer composite, 2 a security element, 3 a substrate, 4 a base layer, 5 an optical waveguide, 6 a protective layer, 7 an adhesive layer, 8 indicia and 9 an optically active structure at the boundary layer between the base layer 4 and the waveguide 5.
  • the composite layer 1 consists of several layers of different, successively applied to a support film not shown here dielectric layers and comprises in the order given at least the base layer 4, the waveguide 5, the protective layer 6 and the adhesive layer 7.
  • the carrier film is part of the base layer 4 and forms a stabilization layer 10 for an impression layer 11 arranged on the surface of the stabilization layer 10 facing the waveguide 5.
  • the connection between the stabilization layer 10 and the impression layer 11 has a very high adhesive strength.
  • a separating layer is arranged between the base layer 4 and the carrier film, since the carrier film serves only for applying the thin layer composite 1 to the substrate 3 and is then removed from the layer composite 1.
  • the stabilization layer 10 is, for example, a scratch-resistant lacquer for protecting the softer impression layer 11.
  • This embodiment of the layer composite 1 is mentioned in the introduction DE 33 08 831 A1 described.
  • the base layer 4, the waveguide 5, the protective layer 6 and the adhesive layer 7 are transparent to at least part of the visible spectrum, but are preferably crystal clear. Therefore, the on the substrate possibly covered with the composite layer 1 Indicia 8 visible through the layer composite 1 through.
  • the protective layer 6 and / or the adhesive layer 7 is colored or black.
  • a further embodiment of the security element has only the protective layer 6, if this embodiment is not intended for sticking.
  • the layer composite 1 is used as e.g. Plastic laminate produced in the form of a long film web with a plurality of juxtaposed copies of the security element 2.
  • the security elements 2 are cut out of the film web and joined to the substrate 3 by means of the adhesive layer 7.
  • the waveguide 5 In order for the waveguide 5 to be optically effective, the waveguide 5 consists of a transparent dielectric whose refractive index is significantly higher than the refractive indices of the plastics for the base layer 4, the protective layer 6 and the adhesive layer 7.
  • Suitable dielectric materials are, for example, in the publications mentioned above WO 99/47983 and US 4,856,857 , Tables 1 and 6 listed.
  • Preferred dielectrics are ZnS, TiO 2 , etc. with refractive indices of n ⁇ 2.3.
  • the waveguide 5 conforms to the interface having the optically active structure 9 for the impression layer 11 and is therefore modulated with the optically active structure 9.
  • a lower limit of about 2200 lines / mm or an upper limit for a period length d of 450 nm is set for the spatial frequency f.
  • diffraction gratings become zeroth diffraction gratings Called "order" and are meant by “diffraction gratings.”
  • the diffraction grating has the FIG. 1 for example, a sinusoidal profile, but other known profiles are usable.
  • the waveguide 5 begins to perform its function, i. to influence the reflected light 14 when the waveguide 5 comprises at least 10 to 20 periods of the optically active structure 9 and therefore has a minimum, dependent on the period length d length L of L> 10d.
  • the lower limit of the length L of the waveguide 5 is in the range of 50 to 100 period lengths d, so that the waveguide 5 exhibits its optimum effectiveness.
  • the security element 2 has on its entire surface a uniform diffraction grating for the optically active structure 9 and a waveguide 5 of uniform layer thickness s.
  • mosaic-shaped surface parts form an optically easily recognizable pattern. In order for a surface part of the mosaic to be visible in its outlines to the naked eye observer, the dimensions should be greater than 0.3 mm, ie. the waveguide 5 has a sufficient minimum length L in each case.
  • the security element 2 illuminated with white diffuse incident light 13 changes the color of the reflected diffracted light 14 when its orientation to the observation direction is changed by means of a tilting or rotary movement.
  • the rotational movement has the surface normal 12 as the axis of rotation, the tilting movement takes place about an axis of rotation lying in the plane of the security element 2.
  • the respective embodiments of the security element 2 have different optical behavior. Such embodiments are described in the following non-exhaustive examples.
  • the waveguide 5 is shown enlarged in cross section.
  • the plastic layers, stabilization layer 10, the impression layer 11, the protective layer 6 and the adhesive layer 7 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) according to US 4,856,857 , Table 6 refractive indices n 1 in the range of 1.5 to 1.6.
  • optically active structure 9 On the introduced into the molding layer 11 optically active structure 9 is the visible light 13 (FIG. Fig.1 ) transparent dielectric with the refractive index n 2 uniformly deposited in the layer thickness s, so that on the interface against the protective layer 6, the surface of the waveguide 5 also has the optically active structure 9.
  • the layer thickness s ⁇ t 75 ⁇ 3 nm.
  • the light beam B pTM incident in the other diffraction plane 15 at the same angle of incidence ⁇ 25 ° leaves the security element 2 as diffracted light 14 in red color, while the diffracted light 14 produced by the light beam B pTE produces an orange mixed color with one in comparison with the reflected light 14 of the light beam B pTM has weak intensity.
  • the color of the security element 2 changes when illuminated with white, unpolarized incident light 13 for an observer from green to red with a rotation of the security element 2 by 90 °.
  • the tilting of the security element 2 in the range of ⁇ 25 ° ⁇ 5 ° changes the color only insignificantly; the change is barely noticeable with the naked eye.
  • This behavior of the security element 2 does not change substantially, except for slight color shifts, when the layer thickness s of the waveguide 5 is varied between 65 nm and 85 nm and the profile depth t between 60 nm and 90 nm.
  • a shortening of the period length d to 260 nm shifts the color of the diffracted light 14 with the incident light beam B nTE from green to red, and in the incident light beam B pTM from red to green.
  • the diffracted light 14 has a red color to which mainly the light beams B pTM contribute.
  • the security element 2 rotates by a few azimuth angle degrees, the reflected color remains red, and as the rotation angle continues to increase, two colors are reflected symmetrically to red, from which the shorter-wavelength color shifts toward the ultraviolet and the longer-wavelength color rapidly disappears in the infrared range.
  • the shorter wavelength color is an orange; the longer-wavelength color is invisible to the observer.
  • the optically active structure 9 consists of at least two intersecting diffraction gratings.
  • the diffraction gratings intersect with advantage at crossing angles in the range of 10 ° to 30 °.
  • Example 5 With asymmetric sawtooth relief profile
  • the optically active structure 9 is a superposition of the diffraction grating zeroth order with the diffraction grating vector 19 (FIG. Figure 5 ) and with an asymmetrical, sawtooth-shaped relief profile 17 of a low spatial frequency of F ⁇ 200 lines / mm.
  • This is advantageous for a consideration of the security element 2, since for many persons the consideration of the security elements 2 described above under the angle of reflection ⁇ (FIG. Fig. 1 ) is very unusual.
  • the highest permissible spatial frequency F depends on the period length d ( Fig. 3 ) of the optically active structure 9.
  • the diffracted light 14 is reflected at a larger angle of reflection ⁇ 1 when illuminating the security element 2 by means of incident light angle 13 to the surface normal 12.
  • the incident light 13 is incident at the angle ⁇ + ⁇ to the vertical 18 on the inclined plane of the waveguide 5 due to the relief profile 17 and is reflected as diffracted light 14 at the same angle to the vertical 18.
  • the FIG. 5 shows the optically active structure 9, which is a superposition of the diffraction grating with an asymmetric, sawtooth-shaped relief profile 17.
  • the azimuthal orientation of the diffraction grating is determined by means of its diffraction grating vector 19.
  • the relief structure 17 has the azimuthal orientation indicated by the relief vector 20.
  • these security elements 2 ( Fig. 3 ) have a high diffraction efficiency of almost 100%, at least for one polarization.
  • the most important parameter of the color shifting capability security element 2 is the period length d ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the layer thickness s ( Fig. 3 ) of the waveguide and the tread depth t ( Fig. 3 ) are not so critical to the ZnS and TiO 2 dielectrics and have little effect on the diffraction efficiency and exact location of the color in the visible spectrum, but do affect the spectral purity of the reflected diffracted light 14 (FIG. Fig. 4 ).
  • the parameter period length d determines the color of the light reflected in the zeroth order reflected light 14.
  • a change in the parameter layer thickness s of the waveguide 5 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) mainly influences the spectral purity of the color of the diffracted light 14 and shifts the position of the color in the spectrum to a small extent.
  • the tread depth t affects the modulation of the waveguide 5 and thus its efficiency. Deviations of ⁇ 5% from the values given in the examples for d, s, t and ⁇ do not appreciably affect the described optical effects for the naked eye. This large tolerance facilitates the fabrication of the security element 2 considerably.
