Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element, preferably for documents of value, that has at least one area with a diffraction structure that reconstructs an optical diffraction image under certain observation conditions, the area having subareas that do not participate in the reconstruction of the optical diffraction image and that represent recognizable information ,
- the invention further relates to a data carrier with such a security element, an embossing cylinder and a method for producing such a security element or document of value.
- EP 1 197350 A2 describes a special embodiment of such a diffractive optical security element for documents of value. It is a so-called two-channel hologram, which is under different holographic images reconstructed from different directions. Each holographically reproduced image that is only visually recognizable from one direction of view corresponds to a channel. Different surface areas of the hologram are assigned to the individual channels. The area of the hologram corresponding to a channel can be divided into a plurality of partial areas. These partial areas are designed, for example, as narrow strips. The strips belonging to different channels are preferably arranged alternately. Although the respective sub-areas of a diffraction-optic image are spaced apart from one another, they produce a common diffraction image under the predetermined defined viewing angle. In the stripe-shaped sub-areas, sub-areas are preferably changed with the aid of a laser such that they no longer participate in the image reconstruction and represent first or second individual information against the holographic background.
- the object of the invention is to create a security element which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the desired information should be able to be written into the security element quickly and with reasonable expenditure on equipment.
- the sub-areas of the security element mentioned at the beginning are integrated into the area with the diffraction structure in such a way that the information represented by the sub-areas (hereinafter referred to as “individual information”) can essentially only be recognized under the specific observation conditions, under to which the diffraction-optical image can also be recognized. That is, if the diffraction structure reconstructs the diffraction-optical image stored therein under certain observation conditions, for example under an oblique viewing angle, the individual information for the viewer only becomes recognizable when these observation conditions, such as that by way of example If the observation conditions are changed so that the diffraction image disappears, then the individual information is also not (or only sc hwach).
- a diffraction structure is to be understood as any light-diffraction structure, such as a real hologram, a rainbow hologram, volume hologram, a computer-generated hologram (CHG) or a pure lattice structure.
- the lattice structures can generate any complicated lattice images, such as Kinegrame ® or the like. Since the term "hologram” has become established as a representative of the general term "diffraction structure" in the specialist world, the term “hologram” is also used in the following for reasons of clarity, without this constituting a restriction.
- embossed holograms are characterized by the fact that the light diffractive structure is converted into a three-dimensional relief structure that is transferred to an embossing mold.
- This embossing mold is usually used to emboss a plastic layer, which is then provided with a reflection layer, which supports the reconstruction of the diffraction-optical image.
- This reflection layer is preferably an opaque or semi-transparent metal layer or a dielectric layer with a suitable refractive index.
- security elements of this type are constructed in multiple layers. They have at least one adhesive layer with which they are attached to the document of value, etc., as well as at least one plastic film, into which the diffraction structures are embossed, a reflection layer that is extremely thin and follows the embossed structure or covers it in three dimensions, and a protective lacquer layer , which protects the diffraction structure from mechanical damage.
- the embossed structure is embossed into the thin metal layer applied to the plastic film or that the adhesive layer is applied to the protective lacquer layer, as a result of which the security element is to be viewed from the “rear side”. In both cases, the viewer sees the side with the sharper relief contours, ie the side with the optimal holographic effect.
- the relief structure representing the diffraction structure often has a symmetrical profile. In special cases, however, an asymmetrical profile can also be advantageous. Relief structures of this type are referred to as “asymmetrical diffraction structures”.
- the diffraction structure only reconstructs the diffraction-optical image from an oblique viewing angle, while it disappears from other viewing angles, especially when viewed vertically. That is, the hologram is not recognizable to the viewer when the security element is viewed vertically and only appears clearly when the security element is rotated or tilted.
- oblique viewing angle and vertical viewing angle stand for certain observation conditions which are defined by parameters such as the direction of light incidence, light wavelength, atomic number and grating position etc. and under which the diffraction-optical image can be recognized or not recognized. These terms therefore have no restrictive effect.
- the security element according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset has a self-contained area with a diffraction structure, in which the sub-areas are integrated in such a way that the individual information represented by the sub-areas essentially only appears under the specific observation conditions under which the diffraction optical image is also recognizable. That is, the security element has at least one hologram, the diffraction structure of which is arranged in a coherent surface without being resolved into alternating strips. Since a self-contained area with a diffraction structure is used, complex image recognition can also be dispensed with. In this case it is irrelevant where exactly the sub-areas are created. The creation of the sub-areas can therefore be carried out continuously and with means that can be used for mass production.
- the sub-areas can be generated in different ways depending on the type of diffraction structure used or depending on the structure of the security element. It is only necessary to ensure that the sub-areas and the diffraction structure surrounding them have the same or at least very similar reflection properties under the observation conditions under which the diffraction structure does not reconstruct an optical diffraction image, so that the information represented by the sub-areas has these observation conditions forms no discernible contrast to their surroundings.
- the effect according to the invention can be achieved, for example, by the fact that the subregions have no diffraction structure or one that is less visually recognizable and the reflection layer both in the region of the diffraction structure and in the region the non-diffractive sub-areas. Since the subareas have no diffraction structure or one that is less recognizable, they ultimately do not contribute to the reconstruction of the diffraction optical image and are therefore recognizable due to the changed reflection conditions under the specific observation conditions, under which the diffraction optical image can also be recognized by the viewer. Under all other observation conditions, the entire area appears largely as a structureless surface. The individual information represented by the sub-areas can therefore not be recognized by the viewer outside of the specific observation conditions.
- the diffraction-free sub-areas can be created in any way.
- the embossing stamp can already be provided with the diffraction-free subregions.
- the diffraction structure can first be impressed over the entire surface of the plastic layer. The subregions are then created subsequently by destroying the diffraction structure and / or the reflection layer, for example by means of a laser. As a rule, this is done under the influence of the laser beam by partially removing the reflection layer.
- the individual information is in the form of interruptions in the reflection layer, and the diffraction-optical structures can also be destroyed in these areas. If this is not the case, the partial absence of the reflection layer reduces the diffraction-optical effect in these areas to such an extent that these areas and thus the individual information contrast with the holographic environment under certain observation conditions.
- the security element can also be equipped with two separate reflection layers, one in the plane of the Embossed structure is provided and the other on the other side of the plastic film.
- the two reflection layers consist of materials with essentially the same reflection properties, preferably they consist of the same material.
- Metal layers such as aluminum, copper or gold are preferably used here.
- the subareas are created by partially removing the reflection layer carrying the observation structure, so that in most observation conditions, incident light is reflected essentially identically by the front and rear reflection layers. The individual information is therefore neither in reflection nor in reflection
- the subregions can also be formed by overprinting the reflection layer. Overprinting can take place, for example, using the inkjet process.
- the subregions are preferably produced with a neutralizing printing ink, ie a printing ink is used which has essentially the same or similar reflection properties as the reflection layer. If the reflection layer consists of a metal, such as aluminum, a metallic printing ink, such as super silver, is preferably used for the production of the subregions. In this case too, the overprinted areas are practically invisible under most observation conditions. However, there is a sharp contrast in the predetermined viewing angles, since the overprinted areas do not participate in the image reconstruction of the diffraction-optical image.
- the information represented by the sub-areas can also be recognized from a different viewing angle from the predetermined viewing angles.
- the sub-areas form a non-diffraction-optic contrast image, which can be seen in particular from all viewing angles of the security element.
- the sub-areas can be created in a wide variety of ways.
- the reflection layer can be directly, i.e. be overprinted in the inner layer structure, or else on the outer surface of the security element with a printing ink, in particular a metallic printing ink.
- an embossed hologram can also be used, which is applied to a transparent support, the subregions being present as cutouts in the reflection layer.
- the information represented by the sub-areas is visible in transmitted light and appears as a non-diffractive contrast image.
- a viewer can easily check the authenticity of the security element by comparing the recognizable information in transmitted light and at the predetermined viewing angles.
- the hologram area containing the individual information according to the invention can also be embedded in a further diffraction-optical area be, this second hologram has different viewing angles. That is, only the surrounding hologram can be recognized under a first complex of viewing angles without the individual information according to the invention, while the hologram according to the invention and the individual information represented by the sub-areas can be recognized under a second complex of viewing angles.
- the embossed plastic layer is provided with two separate reflection layers.
- the two reflection layers consist of differently colored materials, such as differently colored metals or colors.
- the first reflection layer supporting the reconstruction of the hologram can be made of aluminum, while the opposite reflection layer is designed, for example, as a copper or gold layer.
- a visually appealing effect is also achieved in this way, because the individual information stands out in color from the second metal surface at any viewing angle and contrasts with the holographic environment from the given viewing angle.
- the security element according to the invention can of course have several of the hologram areas described above with corresponding sub-areas. Such hologram areas advantageously adjoin one another directly and the holograms can be recognized from different viewing angles.
- the viewing angles of the individual ho lograms can differ by any angle. If the security element only has two such hologram areas, it can be advantageous that the viewing angles of the holograms differ by angles of up to 90 ° and more.
- a circular area can be composed of circular segments that differ by a small angular range in the viewing angle.
- a circular surface which is composed of concentric circular rings, behaves analogously, each circular ring having a hologram which can be recognized from a certain viewing angle, which is different from its neighboring circular rings.
- the individual hologram areas can also have any other geometrical shapes, such as rectangles, stripes, etc.
- hologram areas which have a self-contained geometric shape.
- these can be individual pixel elements, preferably rectangular pixel elements, which are combined to form the hologram region according to the invention, which is under predetermined observation conditions reconstructed an optical diffraction image.
- the security element has at least two hologram areas which reconstruct an optical diffraction image from different complexes of viewing angles, wherein each of the hologram areas can also consist of several partial areas.
- the sub-areas of the different diffraction-optical areas can also, as is known from the prior art, be nested in one another as two-channel or multi-channel holograms.
- the partial areas cannot be resolved with the naked eye, but together they contribute to the reconstruction of the respective diffraction-optical effect.
- the partial areas preferably have a strip-shaped geometry and the partial areas belonging to different hologram areas are arranged alternately. Finally, these partial areas can in turn be composed of individual pixel elements.
- the same individual information is introduced in the individual channels of the hologram areas in the form of the sub-areas according to the invention.
- the same individual information can be seen against the respective diffraction-optical background from the different viewing angles of the holograms.
- the line width of the individual information is selected to be at least as large as the sum of the widths of the partial areas or strips belonging to different holograms.
- the individual information represented by the sub-areas can thus also be recognized from the respective viewing angles of the holograms, and is identical for all hologram areas (channels).
- the subregions of the individual holograms have a width of approximately 1 ⁇ m to approximately 200 ⁇ m, preferably approximately 50 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
- the line width of the individual information depends on the number of nested holograms. When using two holographic channels, the line width is thus at least 40 ⁇ m or 100 ⁇ m wide. In practice, however, a line width of 500 ⁇ m or more should make sense due to the better visibility.
- the individual lines of the individual information thus generally extend over many strips of a hologram channel. Although the individual information of a hologram channel is composed of the alternating partial areas assigned to this channel, it appears to the viewer when several partial areas or strips per individual line are recorded, but not fragmented, but homogeneous and self-contained.
- the individual information of the individual hologram areas can also each represent part of an associated overall information.
- the first four digits of an 8-digit serial number can be inscribed in a first hologram area as sub-areas according to the invention and the second four digits in a second hologram area, which differs from the first hologram area in particular by different viewing angles.
- the total information ie the complete 8-digit serial number, can be readable, for example, when viewed vertically.
- the information written in can be any information, such as the serial number already mentioned or another identification number or any optical image, pattern, logo, etc.
- the viewing angles of the individual areas can be coordinated with one another in such a way that the information of the individual areas represented by the sub-areas can be recognized successively by rotating and / or tilting the security element.
- the security element can have further security features, such as a diffraction structure without sub-areas, or completely different security features, such as, for example, luminescent and / or magnetic and / or thermochromic security features.
- the security element itself is, for example, a security thread that is at least partially embedded in a security.
- the security element can also be applied over the entire surface of a value document or object of value to be secured in the form of an arbitrarily shaped label or security strip.
- This can be a self-supporting label or a transfer element that is transferred from a prepared carrier film to the document of value or the object of value in a transfer process, in particular hot stamping process.
- the security elements can be applied to any objects of value, in particular documents of value, banknotes, passports, identification documents or the like.
- other valuables such as packaging of high-quality products or high-quality products themselves, can be provided with such a security element.

- FIG. 24 shows a schematic representation of a cross section through an embossing stamp with an asymmetrical diffraction structure.
- 1 shows a bank note 100 which is provided with at least one security element 10 according to the invention.
- the banknote can of course have further security elements, such as a security thread 1.
- a security thread 1 is shown as a so-called window security thread.
- a window security thread is characterized in that it is only partially embedded in the banknote paper and in certain areas, the so-called windows, which are hatched in the figure, come directly to the surface of the banknote 100.
- the security element 10 is shown in the example shown as a rectangular label. Of course, it can also have any other shape.
- the security element 10 can also be arranged in the form of a strip on the surface of the banknote 100, which extends over the entire width or length of the banknote 100.
- the security element 10 can also be embodied in the form of a security thread and can be embedded in the bank note 100 as a window security thread analogous to the security thread 1 shown.
- FIG. 2 shows the cross section of a multilayer transfer element 11 which can be used as a security element 10.
- the transfer element 11 consists of a stable, self-supporting carrier film 2, optionally a release or separation layer 3, an embossing film 4, a first reflection layer 5, a protective lacquer layer 6, a second reflection layer 7 and an adhesive layer 8.
- the layers shown in FIG. 2 the proportions do not correspond to the real conditions. Rather, they only illustrate the basic relationships. In practice, layers 3 to 8 together have a thickness of approximately 50 ⁇ m.
- the carrier layer 2 has a layer thickness of 100 ⁇ m and more. This carrier layer is removed again after the transfer of the effect layer 9 to the document of value.
- the same layer structure shows a film material for a security element 10, which is used as label material.
- the carrier layer 2 is permanently connected to the effect layer 9.
- the release layer 3 is therefore missing or it is replaced by an adhesion promoter layer.
- the adhesive layer 8 can be covered by an additional protective layer, not shown in the figure, such as silicone paper, which is removed before the transfer to the banknote 100.
- the security elements 10 are punched out of this transfer film 11 in the desired outline shape and then placed at a corresponding location on the banknote 100.
- layer 8 usually consists of a heat seal lacquer. Layers 2 and 3 can optionally be omitted. In this case, the transfer film 11 is cut into threads of the desired width, which are then brought up to the paper machine and embedded in the security paper during sheet formation. This security paper is then processed into the final banknotes 100.
- the film 11 is designed as a transfer film. It consists of a carrier film 2, on which the effect layer 9 relevant to safety technology is also arranged. In this case, the effect layer 9 must be relatively easy to remove from the carrier film 2.
- a separating layer 3 can be arranged between the carrier film 2 and the multilayer effect layer 9.
- the effect layer 9 is also provided with an adhesive layer 8, preferably a hot adhesive layer. For the transfer of the effect layer 9 to the banknote 100, the transfer film 11 with the adhesive layer 8 is applied to the Banknote 100 launched.
- the adhesive layer 8 is a hot-melt adhesive layer
- the adhesive layer 8 is activated in a certain area by heat and pressure, which is indicated in FIG. 3 by the stamp 15. In this limited area, which corresponds to the outline shape of the desired security element, the adhesive layer 8 adheres to the banknote 100.
- the effect layer 9 tears in the edge area of the activated adhesive layer 8 and thus also remains on the banknote 100 Effect layer 9 and the adhesive layer 8 remain on the carrier layer 2 and are removed from the bank note 100 without residue.
- the basic variants of the security element 10 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can of course also be applied to other value documents, such as identity cards, checks, tickets etc.
- the security elements 10 can be used to secure any other monetary items and for product security of any goods and their packaging.
- the effect layer 9 which is relevant in terms of security technology in FIGS. 2 and 3 can, as already mentioned, be embodied in multiple layers. In addition to the layer structure which is relevant in terms of safety technology, it can also have further security features, such as a luminescent and / or magnetic and / or thermochromic and / or also electrically conductive layer. In the following, special exemplary embodiments of the layer structures which are relevant in terms of security technology and which form the effect layer 9 alone or in combination with further security features are explained. The layer sequences resulting from the different uses or application techniques, such as label material or transfer material, are not taken into account.
- FIG. 4 and 5 show an embodiment variant of the security element 10 in a top view or in cross section, in which the security element 10 has only one self-contained region 12 with a diffraction structure.
- the specific design of this diffraction structure is irrelevant to the invention. It is only essential that the diffraction structure has such viewing angles in which the diffraction-optical effect is reconstructed in the event of light, while at other viewing angles this diffraction-optical effect is not or only diffusely perceptible.
- Arrow B in FIG. 5 here represents the viewing angle in which the diffraction-optical effect can be seen.
- ⁇ - 45 °.
- this area 12 has sub-areas 14, which are likewise only recognizable when viewed from the same viewing angle, under which the optical diffraction effect is also reconstructed when light is incident. In the example shown, this is the case when viewed obliquely along arrow B.
- the subregions 14 do not form a dominant contrast to their surroundings and can therefore not be perceived or can only be perceived weakly. For this reason, the subregions 14 are shown in dashed lines in FIG. 4.
- the information represented by the sub-areas 14 is the 8-digit serial number of the banknote 100.
- the security element 10 is shown in cross section along the line III-III.
- the security element 10 is designed as an embossed hologram. It therefore has two transparent plastic layers 24, 28, the interface of which is in the form of the embossed diffraction structure 21. In which of the plastic layers 24, 28 the diffraction structure 21 is actually impressed depends on the continuous film 11 used for the application of the security element 10 (label or security thread material or transfer film).
- the embossed diffraction structure 21 is provided with a reflection layer 26, preferably a metal layer, which has cutouts 25.
- the cutouts 25 are in the form of the serial number shown in dashed lines in FIG. 4.
- the opposite surface of the plastic layer 24 is also provided with a reflection layer 22, which has essentially the same reflection properties as the reflection layer 26.
- the same metals, such as aluminum, are preferably used for both reflection layers 22, 26.
- the plastic layers 24, 28 are selected such that they have a refractive index that is as similar as possible, so that the diffraction-optical effect disappears in the intermediate regions 25 that are free of the reflection layer.
- the plastic layers 24, 28 therefore preferably consist of the same plastic material.
- this security element 10 When this security element 10 is viewed from directions from which no diffraction optical image is reconstructed, e.g. when viewed vertically (direction S), the viewer primarily perceives the reflective properties of the reflection layers 22, 26. The underlying reflection layer 22 is visible in the recesses 25. If the reflection layers 22, 26 consist, for example, of aluminum, the viewer perceives the security element 10 as a structureless, shiny surface when viewed vertically.
- the cutouts form 25 defects in the reconstructed optical diffraction image. The information content of the cutouts thus appears to the viewer as dark information in front of an otherwise bright diffraction-optical image.
- the cutouts 25 and the underlying reflection layer 22 thus form the subareas 14 according to the invention.
- the cutouts 25 are preferably only produced after the security element 10 has been applied to the banknote 100. Ie that for the Si
- the security element 10 used film has two continuous reflection layers 22, 26. Only when the security element 10 has been transferred to the banknote 100 in the desired outline shape, are the cutouts 25 produced in the form of the serial number represented by the sub-areas 14 according to FIG. 4. This is preferably done using a laser that removes the metal layer 26 in the desired areas. This is achieved by focusing the laser beam on the plane of the metal layer 26 and deflecting the laser beam in the x and y directions in accordance with the individual information to be generated.
- the high absorption coefficient of the metal causes the laser energy to evaporate the metal.
- the metal oxidizes almost instantaneously. Since these metal oxides are almost transparent, the areas exposed to the laser subsequently appear as transparent areas in the metal layer. By specifically controlling the laser beam energy and exposure time, it can also be prevented that the second metal layer 22 is impaired.
- each banknote can be provided with individualizing information, such as the serial number, in a simple and quick manner in one of the last production steps.
- the subareas 14 are only intended to represent information individualizing a larger number of documents of value, such as, for example, the denomination of the banknote, other methods can also be used to produce the cutouts 25.
- the cutouts 25 can already be produced during the production of the continuous film, for example by means of an etching or washing process.
- laser marking processes can also be used here.
- Example 2 (Figs. 4, 5.
- the security element 10 likewise has the layer structure shown in FIG. 5.
- the reflection layer 22 consists of a material which contrasts with the reflection layer 26, preferably of a differently colored metal. If the reflection layer 26 consists of an aluminum layer, then a copper layer can be used for the reflection layer 22, for example.
- the cutouts 25 appear to the viewer when viewed vertically as a non-diffraction-optical contrast image. The viewer can therefore recognize the information content of the contrast image, in this example the serial number, even when viewed vertically as copper-colored areas against a silver background.
- the cutouts 25 can be recognized when viewed obliquely as dark information in front of a bright diffraction-optical image. This correspondence between the non-diffraction-optical information that is recognizable when viewed vertically and obliquely increases the value of the individual data and can be used as an authenticity feature.
- FIG. 6 and 7 show further exemplary embodiments of the security element according to the invention in supervision. These security elements are characterized by the fact that they have two self-contained areas which preferably adjoin one another directly.
- FIG. 6 shows a security element 30 which has two rectangular regions 32A, 32B which are arranged one above the other and each have a diffraction structure.
- the image content reconstructed by the respective diffraction structures can be identical for the two areas, but can also be different.
- the viewing angles of the diffraction structures arranged in the regions 32A, 32B must differ.
- the diffraction structure arranged in area 32A can only be seen when viewed obliquely from the left (arrow L), while the diffraction structure arranged in area 32B can only be seen when viewed obliquely from the right (arrow R).
- the areas 32A, 32B have individual information items 34A, 34B, which are shown schematically in FIG.
- sub-areas 34A, 34B can be the same or different for both areas 32A, 32B.
- sub-areas 34A represent the first four digits of the 8-digit serial number
- sub-areas 34B represent the second four digits of this serial number.
- the subregions 34A, 34B cannot be seen when the security element is viewed vertically. When viewed obliquely from the left, the viewer takes the The information shown in the regions 34A is true in front of the diffraction-optical environment of the region 32A, whereas when viewed from the right, it only recognizes the information of the region 32B represented by the subregions 34B. This partial information represented by the sub-areas 34A, 34B can match the serial number printed in the usual form and can therefore be compared with this.
- the subregions 34A, 34B can have a color that contrasts with the surroundings when viewed vertically.
- both the information represented by the sub-regions 34A and the information represented by the sub-regions 34B can be clearly recognized.
- the information represented by sub-areas 34A clearly contrasts in front of the reconstructed diffraction-optical image of area 32A, while when viewed obliquely from the right, the information represented by sub-areas 34B dominates.
- the complete serial number can be seen when viewed vertically and can be compared with the number blocks recognizable when viewed obliquely from the left or viewed obliquely from the right.
- FIG. 7 shows a modification of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, in which the two regions 32A and 32B are arranged next to one another. If partial information is provided in the areas 32A and 32B, this embodiment is particularly suitable because, as usual, the partial information is arranged next to one another in a row.
- Example 4 Fig. 8.
- FIG. 8 shows a further variant of the security element explained in connection with FIGS. 6 and 7.
- the security element 40 has a multiplicity of the diffraction-optical regions already explained.
- the viewing angles of the diffraction structures arranged in the regions 42A-42D also differ here.
- the viewing directions assigned to the individual areas 42A-42D are indicated in FIG. 8 by the arrows. That is, by tilting and / or rotating the security element 40 or the banknote 100, the individual diffraction-optical images of the areas 42A-42D and the sub-areas arranged in the respective areas can be recognized one after the other.
- the oblique viewing angles for the areas 42A-42B are for example - 45 °, - 15 °, + 15 °, + 45 °. If a viewer holds the banknote 100 with the security element 40 obliquely to the left at an angle of - 45 ° and now tilts the banknote in 30 ° steps over - 15 ° and + 15 ° to + 45 ° to the right, he will recognize it successively information represented by the sub-areas in front of the respective reconstructed diffraction-optical images of the areas 42A-42D.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 again illustrate that the regions provided with the diffraction structures or subregions do not necessarily have to be rectangular.
- a circular disk-shaped security element 50 is shown in FIG. 9, which has 12 regions 52-0 to 52-11 according to the invention, each of which forms a circular segment of the circular disk.
- the viewing angles of the diffraction structures arranged in the respective regions 52-0 to 52-11 are selected such that the diffraction-optical images reconstructed by the respective diffraction structures can be recognized one after the other when the security element 50 is rotated.
- the oblique viewing angles are e.g.
- the specified angles are assigned clockwise, so that field 52-10 is assigned the viewing angle + 25 ° (i.e. tilted 25 ° to the right).
- the fields can also be assigned so that when illuminated obliquely from the front and when viewed vertically, the fields light up one after the other when the security element is rotated in the plane.
- an asymmetrical profile of the grating is required, since in the case of a symmetrical profile, opposing fields whose grating assignment is rotated by 180 ° light up simultaneously.
- the asymmetrical profile ensures that only one field lights up while the other fields remain dark
- the subregions introduced into the individual regions 52-0 to 52-11 are arranged along a ring 54.
- the information represented by the sub-areas can be configured as desired.
- a sensible variant could be to design the sub-areas in such a way that from different perspectives, for example, different characters or letters are seen that complement each other, or different words or syllables that complement each other. However, it is also possible to repeat the same information in each circle segment.
- the security element 50 is composed of annular areas 52-0 to 52-4, which are arranged concentrically to one another.
- the diffraction structures of the individual areas 52-0 to 52-4 are designed such that the associated diffraction-optical image contents are reconstructed when the security element 50 is tilted.
- the information introduced into the individual annular areas can accordingly also be perceived at different tilt angles.
- so-called pump effects can be realized, in which the information represented by the subregions seem to run outwards and / or back again from the circle center over the entire circle radius. This movement is indicated in FIG. 10 by the arrow 54.
- FIG. 11 and 12 show a further embodiment of the security element 60 according to the invention in a top view or in cross section.
- This si Security element 60 has 10 strip-shaped areas 62-0 to 62-9 arranged next to one another, the viewing angles of which increase from the edge 66 of the security element towards the center and decrease accordingly from the center to the opposite edge 68. This is shown schematically in Fig. 12 by the arrows.
- a registered serial number 64 as shown in a top view in FIG. 12, can be integrated into the area 62-1 to 62-8 in such a way that when the security element is tilted the serial number is read digit by digit and with another in normal pressure the banknote 100 applied number sequence can be compared.
- the individual areas consist of a plurality of partial areas that have an extent that can no longer be resolved by the naked eye. All sub-areas belonging to a hologram area thereby contribute to the reconstruction of the diffraction-optical image assigned to the respective area.
- the hologram area 72 reconstructs a first diffraction optical image when viewed obliquely from the left (arrow L) and the hologram area 74 reconstructs a second optical diffraction image when viewed obliquely from the right (arrow R).
- These hologram areas 72, 74 are broken down into strip-shaped partial areas 72-1 to 72-5 or 74-1 to 74-5. According to the exemplary embodiment, these subareas have a width of only approximately 50 ⁇ m and cannot be resolved with the naked eye.
- these partial areas 72-1 to 72-5 or 74-1 to 74-5 of the hologram areas 72, 74 are interleaved. In the example shown, they are arranged alternately, so that the partial area 72-1 of the hologram area 72 is followed by the partial area 74-1 of the hologram area 74, etc.
- the partial areas 72-1 to 72-5 contribute to the reconstruction of an optical diffraction image and the viewer perceives the first hologram 72.
- the partial areas 74-1 to 74-5 contribute to the reconstruction of a diffraction optical image and the viewer recognizes the second hologram 74.
- the individual partial areas 72-1 to 72-5 and 74-1 to 74-5 are arranged separately from one another, the viewer sees the holograms 72, 74 that can be recognized under the respective viewing angles due to the small width and the small distance between the sub-areas.
- the first and second holograms can reconstruct the same or different diffraction-optical images.
- the respective hologram areas can have any number of partial areas 72-1 to 72-m or 74-1 to 74-m.
- the width of the partial areas of the different holograms does not necessarily have to be identical.
- the strip-shaped partial areas can be produced, for example, with the aid of a line mask, which in each case covers the part of the recording medium which is not to be exposed when a diffraction-optical image carrier is exposed.
- the strips can also be generated directly by appropriate control of an electron beam in a recording medium.
- the number of sections or strips can also be chosen as desired. With a strip width of, for example, 50 ⁇ m and a length of the security element 70 of, for example, 50 mm, the element therefore has 1000 strips arranged next to one another.
- individual information in the form of subregions is introduced into the areas 72, 74 in FIG. 13, which do not participate in the image reconstruction in the direction L or in the direction R.
- the specific layer structure of the security element 70 corresponds to the layer structure already explained according to FIG. 5.
- the same information is preferably introduced in the form of the sub-areas according to the invention over all sub-areas 72-1, 74-1 to 72-5, 74-5, so that the The sub-areas can, as already explained, be carried out without high detection effort using means suitable for mass production.
- the same dark individual information appears from both viewing directions in front of the otherwise bright respective holographic image background.
- FIG. 14 shows the security element 70 according to FIG. 13, in which some sub-areas 76 are indicated schematically for illustration. It is understood that, as already explained, complete information, for example a serial number of several cm in width, consists of a large number of such sub-areas 76.
- the line width of the individual information if it should be recognizable in both partial areas, must have at least twice the strip width in the event that all strips are of equal width. Since the eye integrates the parts of the lines that are distributed over different strips, it is immaterial whether the lines cover the strips completely or only partially in width. In both cases, the same visual impression is created. Both extremes are shown by way of example in FIG. 14 using the letter “i”. Note that with a stripe width of, for example, 50 ⁇ m and a preferred line width of 0.5 mm, one line of individual information per subareas detects ten stripes, it becomes clear that when the individual information is introduced, it does not matter how the stripes are "hit”.
- the information represented by the sub-areas 76 can be written in the described design without alignment to the edges of the partial areas and thus with little expenditure of equipment and time, the same information being recognizable from both viewing directions. It goes without saying that more than two hologram regions can be provided with diffraction-optical images recognizable under different observation conditions, the partial regions belonging to the respective diffraction-optical images being correspondingly interleaved with one another. The width of the sub-areas must also be adjusted accordingly in order to be able to write in the information represented by the sub-areas without alignment with the edges of the sub-areas.
- this security element 71 corresponds to the security element 70 shown in FIG. 13. That is, it has two hologram areas 72, 4 which are nested one inside the other and which reconstruct different diffraction-optical images from different viewing angles. In this case, however, the subregions that do not contribute to the diffraction-optical construction are not formed by the interaction of two reflection layers, but solely by recesses in the first reflection layer.
- the security element 71 designed as an embossed hologram in cross section (not to scale).
- the alternatingly arranged partial areas 72-1, 74-1, 72-2, 74-2 are shown.
- the partial areas 72-1, 72-2 differ from the partial areas 74-1, 74-2 with regard to the diffraction structures arranged there.
- the boundary area between the plastic layers 24, 28 in the partial areas 72-1, 72-2 is provided with a first diffraction structure 73, while the partial areas 74-1, 74-2 have a second diffraction structure 75.
- the entire boundary area between the plastic layers 24, 28 is one Provided reflection layer 26 which has cutouts 77 in the partial areas 72-1, 72-2 and cutouts 79 in the partial areas 74-1, 74-2.
- This reflection layer 26 is preferably a thin metal layer, such as an aluminum layer.
- the cutouts 77, 79 represent the sub-areas belonging to the respective hologram areas 72, 74. The information displayed in this way can be identical or different.
- This security element 71 is particularly suitable for securing translucent or transparent valuables. Because the cutouts 77, 79 can be seen when viewed in transmitted light as bright, high-contrast areas in front of the dark-looking reflection layer 26. If one assumes that the recesses 77, as already explained several times, represent the first number block of a serial number and the recesses 79 the second number block, the viewer recognizes the entire serial number in transmitted light. When viewed obliquely from the left of the security element 71, however, it only recognizes the first number block introduced through the cutouts 77 in the hologram area 72.
- the viewer when viewed obliquely from the right, the viewer perceives the second number block provided through the cutouts 79 in the hologram area 74. In this way, the authenticity of the object of value can be deduced by comparing the information which can be seen from the different viewing angles.
- FIG. 16 shows a further embodiment of the security element according to the invention according to FIG. 13 in cross section.
- the security element 81 shown here is also available as an embossed hologram, in which Different diffraction structures 73, 75 are arranged in accordance with the different partial areas 72-1, 72-2 and 74-1, 74-2.
- the reflection layer 26 is present over the entire area in this example and preferably consists of a metal layer, in particular an aluminum layer.
- the plastic layer 28 is printed in the respective partial areas with a printing ink which preferably has essentially the same reflection properties as the reflection layer 26.
- the printing layers are made for the printing ink 83, 85 uses a silvery metallic printing ink, such as super silver. Since the printing ink used for the printing areas 83, 85 has essentially the same reflection properties as the reflection layer 26, the printing areas 83, 85 cannot be seen when the security element 81 is viewed vertically. In contrast, when viewed obliquely from the left, the pressure areas 83 arranged in the partial areas 72-i of the hologram area 72 do not contribute to the reconstruction of the hologram 72, so that the pressure areas 83 can be recognized as matt areas in the hologram 72.
- the print areas 83, 85 can represent identical information or different information.
- the printed images 83, 85 can also be produced directly on the reflection layer 26, so that they are arranged between the plastic layer 28 and the reflection layer 26. However, this should be done in one earlier process step happen, so that then the advantage of being able to enter data on the finished security element is eliminated.
- the security elements 71, 81 shown in FIGS. 15, 16 can have further hologram areas which are correspondingly interleaved with the hologram areas 72, 74.
- FIG. 17 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 17.
- the security element 80 shown there has, in addition to two hologram areas 82, 84 according to the invention, which are provided with diffraction structures of different viewing angles, a third diffraction-optical image area 88.
- the hologram areas 82, 84, 88 are subdivided into a plurality of partial areas 82-i, 84-i, 88-i, which are arranged nested in one another.
- the hologram areas 82, 84 have the sub-areas according to the invention, which can be designed in accordance with the examples already explained with reference to FIGS. 5, 15 and 16.
- the hologram area 88 has no subrange and can be seen from a different viewing angle than the hologram areas 82, 84.
- the observer of this security element 80 primarily recognizes the diffraction-optical image reconstructed by the partial areas 82-i, while when viewing obliquely from the right, he primarily recognizes the diffractive optical image reconstructed by the partial areas 84-i.
- the subareas 88-i also complement each other to form an optical diffraction image, which comes to the fore especially when the security element is viewed vertically.
- This variant has the advantage that the hologram regions 82, 84 provided with the subregions can be designed very simply if the additional hologram region 88 reconstructs a complex and at the same time aesthetically appealing diffraction optical image.
- the viewer when viewed almost vertically, as with the known security elements, the viewer recognizes a complicated hologram which is provided with complex diffraction-optical effects.
- the hologram areas 82, 84 can, for example, reconstruct a simple, colored area in which the information represented by the sub-areas can be recognized. For example, when viewed obliquely from the left, the viewer again sees the first number block of the serial number in a red environment, and when viewed obliquely from the right, the second number block in an equally red or differently colored environment.
- this embodiment also has the disadvantage that in order to write in the individual information, as in the prior art, the respective strips must be identified before the sub-elements of the individual information can be written in.
- the security element 90 shown in FIG. 18 is constructed, for example, analogously to the security element 70 shown in FIG. 13, from a plurality of partial areas 92, 94 arranged alternately.
- Each of the sub-areas 92, 94 consists of a plurality of uniform, in the exemplary embodiment square pixel elements 96.
- the sub-areas 92, 94 consist of square pixel elements with an edge length of 50 ⁇ m.
- the viewing angles of the pixel elements belonging to the partial areas 92, 94 differ in accordance with the diffraction-optical image to be reconstructed.
- the viewing angle of the partial areas 92 can be ⁇ 45 °, while the viewing angle is that of the
- Pixel areas belonging to partial areas 94 is + 45 °.
- the tilt angle at which the diffraction-optical images belonging to the partial regions 92, 94 can be recognized is 45 °, while the reconstruction angles within the plane of the security element 90 differ by 180 °.
- hologram areas of any shape can be put together, for example the circle segments of the security element 50 according to FIG. 10 or the simple, rectangular partial areas of the security element 40 according to FIG. 9.
- the pixel elements 96 themselves can be produced inexpensively in large numbers by machine, for example by the so-called dot matrix method.
- the area boundaries of the individual pixel elements 96 may not be reproduced in accordance with their ideally straight edge. Area boundaries or area edges, in particular, which run in a curved manner, must be carried out using very fine steps in the dot matrix process.
- the visually perceived impression is hardly affected by the small size of the pixels and the limited resolution of the eye.
- This security element 115 has an area 110 according to the invention with a diffraction structure which reconstructs an optical diffraction image from an oblique viewing angle.
- This area 110 has sub-areas 111 which can represent, for example, individualizing information.
- This area 110 is embedded in an environment 112, which also has optical diffraction structures.
- the diffraction-optically reconstructed image of this surrounding hologram 112 is visible from a different viewing angle than that of the region 110, the diffraction-optical image reconstructed by the region 112 is preferably visible when viewed almost vertically.
- the diffraction-optical area 110 provided with the sub-areas 111 is camouflaged to a certain extent by the area-wide embedding in a diffraction-optical environment 112.
- the surrounding hologram 112 may be as elaborate and complex diffraction optical image, for example, be designed as a Kinegram ®, which Hologrammbe- whereas reaching 110 a simple diffraction optical image as the above-mentioned colored surface can be reconstructed. In this case, the observer recognizes this colored area and the information 111 contained therein when the element 115 is viewed obliquely.
- the layer structure of the security element 115 can be designed in accordance with the security element 10 shown in FIG. 5. Since the reflection layer in the surrounding hologram area 112 is designed to be full-surface and continuous, the second reflection layer 22 contributing to the sub-areas in no way disturbs the optical impression of the hologram area 112.
- Example 14 (Fig. 20)
- the security element 115 can also have a similar structure to the elements 71, 81 shown in FIGS. 15, 16.
- FIG. 20 shows an embodiment of the element 115 in cross section, in which the border area of the plastic layers 24, 28 in the corresponding Regions 112, 110 is provided with the respective diffraction structure 113, 114.
- the reflection layer 26, preferably a specularly reflecting metal layer is present over the entire surface without cutouts.
- the reflection layer 26 has cutouts 116 in the form of the information 111 to be displayed. These cutouts 116, which represent the subregions according to the invention, can be seen both when viewed in transmitted light and when viewed obliquely from hologram region 110. The viewer can thus check the identity of the information recognizable in transmitted light and when viewed at an angle as a authenticity feature.
- the information 111 represented by the sub-areas can also be represented by printing on a printing ink which essentially has the same reflection properties as the reflection layer 26.
- This variant is shown in FIG. 21 shown.
- the printed image 117 is applied directly to the reflection layer 26.
- the printed image 117 can of course also be applied to the plastic layer 28.
- This aspect of embedding in terms of area and the combination with further holograms not provided with sub-areas can also be used for all other described embodiments.
- the information represented by the sub-areas is not introduced into the finished holograms, but already during the so-called “origination process” into the preforms for the embossed holograms. While information subsequently generated in the finished hologram as unique information can be carried out, all embossed holograms produced with the same embossing mold have the same information.
- FIG. 22 The production of such an embossing mold is shown schematically in FIG. 22.
- an original form is assumed which already has the diffraction structure in the form of a relief structure and can be referred to as a "master".
- This original form is designated by MO in FIG. 22.
- MO This original form
- M1 identical copies of the original designated by M1 are identified - Form MO.
- M2 several identical copies are made from each copy M1, which are designated overall by M2. Only in the third impression step III is the diffraction structure transferred into the embossing holograms HO.
- embossing molds Ml, M2 After molding steps I and / or II during the originating process.
- the same basic motif can be selected for the entire series, ie for all values.
- the basic motif is implemented in the original form MO as a diffraction structure.
- the identical copies M 1 molded from it can be changed in some areas with a laser and thereby individualized.
- embossing forms can be created that carry information that characterizes the respective denomination.
- the value number can be inserted into the individual copies M 1 as individualizing information.
- Several identical copies of each of these individualized embossing dies are then produced in the second impression step II.
- embossing mold 1 further embossing molds 1.1 to 1.3 carrying the same individualizing information result. The same applies to the embossing forms 2 to 4 shown.
- individualization measures or additional individualization measures can also be carried out on the copies of the embossing molds labeled M2. This means that different production sites or production lines can be identified if necessary.
- the sub-series of holograms generated in this way can also receive further individualization information at a later point in time through the measures already described, for example by laser inscription.
- 23 shows such an individualized embossing shape in cross section.
- the embossing mold 118 is designed as an embossing stamp and has the diffraction structure 119 in the form of a relief structure in one of the surfaces. This relief structure 119 was destroyed in the region 120, for example by means of a laser.
- the embossing stamp 118 is pressed into a plastic layer or embossable lacquer layer, and the relief structure and the destroyed areas 120 are transferred into the surface of the plastic layer.
- the embossing shape can also have any other shape. Cylindrical embossing dies are particularly preferred in mass production.
- the embossed holograms are designed as so-called “asymmetrical holograms”.
- Asymmetic holograms have diffraction structures 130 with an asymmetrical profile.
- FIG. 24 shows an embossing stamp 118 with such an asymmetrical profile. This achieves a particularly strong directional effect and the diffraction-optically reconstructed images which are only visible from a given viewing angle are particularly bright.
- Asymmetric holograms are preferably used for security elements which have a plurality of nested holograms which can be recognized from different viewing angles, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 16.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un élément de sécurité, de préférence pour documents de valeur, qui présente au moins une zone avec une structure de diffraction qui, dans certaines conditions d'observation, reconstruit une image optique à diffraction. Cette zone présente des sous-zones qui ne participent pas à la reconstruction de l'image optique à diffraction et qui représente une information reconnaissable. A cet effet, il est essentiel que l'information représentée par les sous-zones ne soient essentiellement reconnaissables que dans les conditions d'observation dans lesquelles l'image optique à diffraction peut être également perçue.
