Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security document, in particular a banknote or a badge, which has a first area in which a first transparent optical element is arranged and a second area in which a second opaque optical element is arranged.
  • the first region and the second region are in this case arranged on a flexible carrier of the security document in such a way that the first and the second region can be brought into overlap with one another, for example by bending, folding or twisting the flexible carrier.
  • EP 0930979 B1 such as Zientek, "Polymeric self-authenticating banknotes", Proc. SPIE vol. 3314 a self-checking banknote is known, which consists of a flexible plastic carrier.
  • the flexible plastic support is made of a transparent material and is provided with a clouded sheath, leaving a clear transparent surface as a window.
  • a magnifying lens is now arranged as a self-certification center.
  • a microprint area is provided on the banknote, which shows a small character, a small line or a filigree pattern. For checking or inspecting the banknote, the banknote is folded and thus the transparent window and the micro-printing area are brought into coincidence.
  • the magnifying lens can now be used to make the micro-pressure visible to the viewer and thus to verify the banknote.
  • the magnification of the micropattern resulting for the observer is determined by the clear range of vision (in normal eyes 25 cm) and by the focal length of the magnifying lens.
  • a bank passbook is described with an encrypted identification mark which is printed on the inside of the rear book cover or on one side of the book and has means for authenticity verification in the form of a transparent area.
  • the transparent area is configured as a read screen for decrypting the encrypted identifier as soon as that screen is overlaid with the area containing the encrypted identifier by closing the bookband.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying an improved security document.
  • a security document comprising a first transparent region in which a first transparent optical element is arranged, and a second region in which a second opaque optical element is arranged, which exhibits a first optical effect, wherein the first Region and the second region are arranged so spaced apart on a support of the security document that the first and the second region can be brought into coincidence with each other, and in the overlapping of the second with the first optical element at a first distance between the first and second A second optical effect is exhibited by the optical element and, when the second optical element is covered with the first optical element, at a second distance between the first and second optical elements which is greater than the first distance, a third optical effect different from the second optical effect is exhibited.
  • the invention thus provides the user with a novel verification method that goes far beyond mere identification of an enhanced security feature.
  • the invention makes it possible to provide security documents with particularly obvious, surprising security features that are particularly easy for the user to check.
  • the invention opens up the possibility of integrating further security features into a security document in a particularly cost-effective manner. By using only one transparent and one opaque optical element, it is possible to provide the security document with three or more security features. This makes it possible to produce by means of the invention easily verifiable, cost manufacturable and difficult to imitate security documents.
  • a first pattern when the second with the first optical effect is overlapped with the first distance, a first pattern appears as a second optical effect and when the second with the first optical element is overlaid with the second distance, an enlarged representation of the first pattern as the third one optical effect.
  • the second distance can show a reduced or changed representation of the first pattern.
  • a disappearance of specific information and / or a change of information takes place so that different information is displayed to the viewer at the first and at the second distance. Furthermore, it is possible that at a third or fourth distance between the first and the second optical element show further different optical effects.
  • both the second and the third optical effect preferably differ significantly from the first optical effect, thus representing, for example, different information or significantly different size representations of an information.
  • the opaque second optical element has a first layer structured according to a micropattern.
  • Micropattern here means that the pattern is a high resolution pattern whose typical size is higher than the resolution of the human eye.
  • the first transparent optical element has a transparent layer in which a convex lens having a focal length approximately corresponding to the second distance is superimposed with a lens pattern matched to the micropattern, which is made up of a plurality of refractive or diffractive micro-lenses of one focal length exists that corresponds to the first distance. If the distance between the overlapping first and second optical elements corresponds to the first distance, then the information coded in the deviation from pattern regions or parts of the pattern regions of the micropattern and lens raster is shown.
  • the observer is made to see the micropattern or parts of the micropattern. It is particularly advantageous in this implementation of the invention that the at different spacing of the overlapping first and information showing second optical elements can be largely independent of each other and a relatively abrupt, binary change of information can be achieved.
  • the micropattern preferably has a typical size of less than 100 ⁇ m, preferably 100 to 40 ⁇ m. Furthermore, the micropattern preferably consists of a multiplicity of identical, repetitive structural elements. The dimensions of the individual structural elements should be less than 200 ⁇ m. Such repetitive patterns allow simplified design and verification of second and third optical effects to the viewer.
  • the structure elements of the micropattern may be arranged in a different area distribution in the surface area of the second optical element, so that the first optical effect in the manner of a gray scale image resulting from direct observation of the further optical element depends on the areal density of the distribution of the structure elements is.
  • the first layer of the second optical element structured in accordance with the micropattern may be a color layer or a reflective layer, which is structured in accordance with the micropattern.
  • a diffractive structure is formed in the first layer so that the first to third optical effects exhibit a diffraction pattern.
  • the convex lens is formed by a diffraction-optically active structure, which generates the effect of a convex lens by diffractive optics.
  • the structure is preferably formed by a lattice structure continuously changing with respect to its lattice frequencies and optionally further lattice constants over the area region, which is either a binary structure or designed such that in each case one flank of the lattice grooves is parallel to one another and approximately parallel to one another Perpendicular to the main plane of the boundary layer, while the angle of the respective other edges of the grid surface with respect to a perpendicular to the main plane of the boundary layer over the surface area changes substantially continuously.
  • the lattice depth of the lens structure is preferably less than 10 ⁇ m.
  • diffractive lens has the advantage over the use of a "refractive lens", for example a Fresnel magnifying lens, that the necessary structural depth is considerably reduced and accordingly large-area convex lenses can be integrated in the security document. It is also possible that the micro-lenses of the lens grid are realized as "diffractive lenses”.
  • the superposition of the convex lens and the lens raster is preferably realized by dividing the second optical element into a plurality of adjacent first and second regions. In each of the first areas, one or more micro-lenses of the micro-lens grid are formed, and in the second areas, structures that form the convex lens are formed. The width and / or the length of the first and second regions is in each case below the resolution of the human eye. This type of superposition of the convex lens and the lens grid ensures high efficiency and luminosity of the lens grid and the convex lens.
  • the second optical element has a microstructured moiré pattern.
  • the associated first optical element has an at least partially transparent layer in which is superimposed a moiré-pattern tuned moire analyzer and a convex lens having a focal length corresponding to the second distance and suitable for microstructuring the moire Visualize patterns. Is the distance between them overlapping first and second optical elements very low, a moire image is generated by superimposing the Moire pattern and the Moire analyzer. If the distance between the overlapping first and second optical elements is increased towards the second distance, the moire image is no longer generated and the observer is shown an enlargement of the microstructuring of the moire pattern. With a first distance between the first and second optical elements, the moiré image is thus displayed, and with a second distance between the first and second optical elements, an enlarged representation of the microstructuring of the moiré pattern.
  • the macroscopic lens has a diameter of 3 mm to 50 mm, preferably 10 mm to 30 mm.
  • the focal length of the macroscopic lens is preferably between half the diameter and ten times the diameter, in particular between one to five times the diameter.
  • the microlens grid e.g., square or hexagonal closest packing
  • the focal length of the microlenses is between half the diameter and one hundred times the diameter, preferably between one to ten times the diameter.
  • this embodiment of the invention has the advantage that the information shown as a second and as a third optical effect can be designed independently of each other and an abrupt, binary change of the information shown in distance increase / decrease can be realized. As a result, particularly memorable security features can be implemented in the security document.
