Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sicherheitsmerkmal mit unter bestimmten Betrachtungswinkeln, insbesondere im Durchlicht optisch erkennbaren Merkmalen.The invention relates to a security feature with under certain Viewing angles, especially optically recognizable in transmitted light Features.

Aus der EP 330 733 B1 ist ein Sicherheitselement in Form eines Fadens oder Bandes zur Einbettung in Sicherheitsdokumente bekannt, das aus einer lichtdurchlässigen Kunststofffolie besteht, die mit einer opaken Beschichtung versehen ist und Aussparungen aufweist, wobei zumindest in den zu den Aussparungen deckungsgleichen Bereichen farbgebende und/oder lumineszierende Substanzen vorhanden sind, die sich unter geeigneten Lichtbedingungen von der opaken Beschichtung in farblich kontrastierender Form unterscheiden.From EP 330 733 B1 is a security element in the form of a thread or Bandes for embedding in security documents known that from a Translucent plastic film is made with an opaque coating is provided and has recesses, wherein at least in the Recesses congruent areas coloring and / or luminescent substances are present, which are suitable Light conditions from the opaque coating in color contrasting Different form.

Aus der EP 613 786 A sind Sicherheitselemente in Form von Sicherheitsfäden bekannt, die einen überdeckten Untergrund in Form eines Rasters aufweisen, wobei Aussparungen in Form von Zeichen, Mustern oder dergleichen vorgesehen sind.From EP 613 786 A are security elements in the form of security threads known, which have a covered substrate in the form of a grid, with recesses in the form of characters, patterns or the like are provided.

Aufgabe der Erfindung war es ein Sicherheitselement bereitzustellen, das unter einem bestimmten Betrachtungswinkel, insbesondere im Durchlicht optisch erkennbare Merkmale, beispielsweise in Form von Zeichen, Buchstaben, Mustern, Linien und dergleichen aufweist und gegebenenfalls zusätzlich funktionelle Merkmale aufweist.The object of the invention was to provide a security element under a certain viewing angle, especially in transmitted light optically recognizable features, for example in the form of characters, letters, Has patterns, lines and the like and optionally in addition having functional features.

Diese im Register gedruckten Schichten können aber auch durch transparente Abstandsschichten getrennt sein.These layers printed in the register can also be transparent Separate spacer layers.

Als Abstandsschichten kommen dabei beispielsweise Schichten mit optischen Eigenschaften (Farbe, Lumineszenz, Perlglanz), mit optisch aktiven Eigenschaften (Beugungsgitter, Hologramme), mit optisch variablen Eigenschaften (Farbe oder Lack mit optisch variablen Pigmenten) oder elektrisch leitfähige Polymerschichten in Frage. Ferner kann als Abstandsschicht auch ein transparentes gegebenenfalls farbiges Trägersubstrat, das gegebenenfalls auch funktionelle Schichten aufweist, verwendet werden.As spacers come, for example, layers with optical Properties (color, luminescence, pearlescent), with optically active Properties (diffraction gratings, holograms), with optically variable Properties (paint or varnish with optically variable pigments) or electrically conductive polymer layers in question. Furthermore, as Spacer layer also a transparent optionally colored Carrier substrate, which optionally also has functional layers, be used.

Die optischen Eigenschaften einer weiteren Schicht lassen sich durch sichtbare Farbstoffe bzw. Pigmente, lumineszierende Farbstoffe bzw.

Zur Herstellung derartiger Oberflächenstrukturen wird vorerst UV-härtbarer tiefziehfähiger Lack aufgebracht. Anschließend kann beispielsweise eine Oberflächenstruktur durch Abformen einer Matrize in diesen Lack, der zum Zeitpunkt der Abformung bis zum Gelpunkt vorgehärtet ist, hergestellt, worauf anschließend der strahlungshärtbare Lack nach Aufbringung der Oberflächenstruktur vollständig ausgehärtet wird.For the production of such surface structures is initially UV-curable thermoformable paint applied. Subsequently, for example, a Surface structure by molding a die in this paint, the Time of the impression is pre-cured to the gel point, prepared, where then the radiation-curable varnish after application of the Surface structure is completely cured.

Durch die Verwendung des UV-härtbaren Lacks sind nach der Aushärtung darauf aufgebrachte Schichten, auch eine gegebenenfalls eingebrachte Oberflächenstruktur, auch unter Temperaturbelastung stabil.By using the UV-curable varnish are after curing layers applied thereon, including an optionally introduced layer Surface structure, also stable under temperature load.

Das Folienmaterial zeigt bei senkrechter Betrachtung im Durchlicht dann das in mehreren Schichten aufgebrachte sich zu Mustern, Zeichen, Buchstaben und dergleichen ergänzende Merkmal. Wird das Folienmaterial nicht senkrecht, sondern in einem Winkel < 90° betrachtet, so ergeben sich zusätzliche Transmissionswege für das durchdringende Licht. Der Kontrast zwischen der opaken mehrschichtigen Bedruckung und den Aussparungen wird vermindert, je nach verwendeter Abstandsschicht treten zusätzliche definierte Effekte, beispielsweise optische Effekte (Lumineszenz bei Anregung, metallischer Glanz) optisch variable oder optisch aktive Effekte auf.The film material shows when viewed vertically in the transmitted light then in several layers applied to patterns, characters, letters and like additional feature. If the film material is not vertical, but viewed at an angle <90 °, so there are additional Transmission paths for the penetrating light. The contrast between the opaque multi-layer printing and the recesses is diminished Depending on the distance layer used, additional defined effects occur For example, optical effects (luminescence upon excitation, metallic Gloss) optically variable or optically active effects.
