Definitions
- the invention relates to a grating image for displaying at least one halftone image and a method for producing such grating images.
- holograms holographic grating images and other hologram-like diffraction structures for securing the authenticity of credit cards, value documents, product packaging and the like.
- diffractive structures are generally produced by exposure of a photosensitive layer with superimposed coherent radiation.
- Real holograms are created by illuminating an object with coherent laser light and superposing the laser light scattered by the object with an uninfluenced reference beam in the light-sensitive layer.
- a layer such as a photographic film or a photoresist layer, produces there a holographic diffraction grating which can be preserved, for example, in the form of light and dark lines in a photographic film or in the form of mountains and valleys in a photoresist layer. Since the light rays are not scattered by an object in this case, the holographic diffraction grating produces only an optically variable color impression, but no image representation.
- Holographic grating images can be generated on the basis of holographic diffraction gratings by not covering the entire surface of the photosensitive material with a uniform holographic diffraction grating. but by using appropriate masks to occupy only parts of the receiving surface with one of several different uniform lattice patterns at a time.
- Such a holographic grating image is thus composed of a plurality of grating fields with different diffraction grating patterns. By suitable arrangement of the grating fields, a multiplicity of different image motifs can be represented with such a holographic grating image.
- the diffraction grating patterns of a holographic grating image are usually graticules with a multiplicity of adjacent parallel grating lines.
- the diffraction gratings of each grating field or each grating image area are characterized by the grating constant and the angular orientation of the grating pattern and the outline or contour of the area.
- the angular orientation of the grating pattern is usually described by the azimuth angle, ie the angle between the parallel grating lines and an arbitrary reference direction.
- the lattice constant and the azimuth angle are usually set via the wavelength and the incident direction of the exposing wave fields, and the outlines of the fields are generated by means of exposure masks.
- the lattice pattern of the lattice pattern in a lattice image area is essential to the color of that area when viewed, while the azimuth angle is responsible for the visibility of the image area from certain directions.
- optically variable images such as alternating or moving images, or even plastically appearing images can be generated.
- Halftone grating images are conventionally carried out in the so-called dot-matrix method, which is described, for example, in document EP 0423 680 A2.
- the halftone grating image is constructed from a multiplicity of small, almost point-shaped regions, which typically have a diameter of 10 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m.
- dot-matrix hologram machine In these dot areas holographic diffraction gratings are produced with a so-called dot-matrix hologram machine.
- dot-matrix hologram machines are now commercially available and thus also accessible to potential counterfeiters.
- the present invention seeks to propose a grating image of the type mentioned, which has an increased security against counterfeiting and can represent the halftone images with high optical quality.
- a method for producing such lattice images is to be specified.
- a generic grating image for the display of at least one unscreened halftone image is designed with a plurality of brightness levels, wherein the grating image has a plurality of grating fields.
- the grating fields each contain a grid pattern influencing electromagnetic radiation from a plurality of grating lines. When illuminated, the grating fields each generate a flat area of the halftone image with the same brightness level.
- the invention is based on the idea of increasing the security against forgery of halftone grid images by avoiding rastering.
- the dot-matrix division also leads to gaps and separation points in the lattice image which are not predetermined by the motif.
- An unscreened image representation can thus achieve a higher optical quality, in particular a higher luminous intensity and a clearer color or brightness level representation of the grating image.
- the unscanned halftone image has only a few brightness levels, in particular fewer than ten brightness levels. Unsuccessful halftone pictures with three, four or five brightness levels have proven particularly good.
- the grid fields advantageously include at least partially grid patterns defined by a grid constant and an angular orientation, as further explained below.
- the grating fields may also at least partially contain grating patterns that form a matt structure that exhibits no diffractive effects when viewed. Thereby Surface areas with a matt appearance can easily be integrated into a grid pattern generated by electron beam lithography.
- the grating lines in the grating are expediently randomly oriented relative to one another.
- the orientation of the graticule lines varies randomly and erratic. Further details on the production and the properties of such matt structures are given in PCT / EP2005 / 000659, the disclosure of which is incorporated in the present application in this respect.
- the grating fields are preferably filled in an area fraction with the respective grating patterns, which corresponds to the generated brightness level.
- the grating fields advantageously have, according to the brightness level generated, interleaved areas filled with grating patterns and unfilled areas.
- the extent of the filled and unfilled regions is at least one dimension below the limit of resolution of the naked eye.
- the filled and unfilled areas may be formed as narrow strips having a width below the resolution limit of the eye, or as small area elements of any shape having a size below the resolution limit of the eye.
- the structure of the filled and unfilled regions may be visible.
- the shape and size of the areas are chosen in this case so that they do not disturb the image impression, but preferably still support and contribute, for example, to a woodcut-like or copper-engraved image impression.
- the grids forming a matte structure may also be completely filled with grating lines at a density corresponding to the generated brightness level.
- the grid patterns are preferably formed at least partially from non-interrupted grid lines and generated by means of a lithography instrument.
- the grid lines are expediently connected by arranged at their ends reversing pieces to at least one meandering running grating line.
- the grating image in different orientations in each case represents an image, in particular an unscanned halftone image, so that a change image, a motion image, a stereo image, a backdrop image or a grating image is created for the viewer with a constant image impression.
- at least one of the non-halftone halftone images represented by the grid image may be a true color image.
- the invention also includes a method of generating a grating image that exhibits at least one un-halftone halftone image having a plurality of brightness levels.
- the lattice image is generated with a plurality of lattice fields which each contain a lattice pattern of a plurality of lattice lines influencing electromagnetic radiation and which, when illuminated, respectively generate a flat region of the halftone image with the same brightness level.
- a halftone black-and-white halftone image with a plurality of pixels is predefined, the pixels each having a gray-brightness value, b) the pixels whose brightness values are in one predetermined interval, each combined to form an image field, so that an unbiased brightness level image with a preselected number of discrete levels of brightness arises, c) grid fields of the grid image are defined, which are assigned to the combined image fields and their arrangement within the grid image of the arrangement of the image fields in the predefined halftone image, and d) the grating fields are filled with grating patterns which, when illuminated, respectively generate a flat area of the same brightness level within the ungraded brightness level image.
- a halftone colored halftone image with a plurality of pixels is predefined, the pixels each having brightness values for certain primary colors, b) for each base color, the pixels whose brightness values are for these Basic color are in a predetermined interval, each combined into one image field, so that for each base color an unscreened color separation step image with a preselected number of discrete levels of brightness arises, c) lattice fields of the lattice image are assigned, which are assigned to the combined image fields and their arrangement within d) the lattice fields are subdivided into color subregions for the primary colors and the color subregions are filled with lattice patterns which, when illuminated, each have a planar region of the same brightness level of the primary color within the unscreened brightness level image for that base color.
- Spectral colors in particular red, green and blue, are advantageously selected as base colors.
- the extent of the color subregions is expediently selected in at least one dimension below the resolution limit of the naked eye.
- the color subregions can be formed for example as narrow strips with a width below the resolution limit of the naked eye or through small surface elements of any shape with a size below the resolution limit of the naked eye.
- Plane or curved grating images of the type described can be generated in a simple, non-holographic manner by first determining an orientation for the grating image in the space in which the unperforated halftone image should be visible.
- step d) one or more subranges are then defined within each grid field, and for each of the subregions is determined from the fixed orientation of the grid image and the brightness value of the grid field using the relationship

- the vector formula (L) is independent of coordinate systems. The vectors can be anywhere in space. Depending on the choice of the coordinate system and the quantities used for the description, the relationship (L) can be represented in various ways.
- the local relation (L) describes in the most general way the connection between the local, location-dependent vectors. In many situations, the local vectors can be replaced by constant, global vectors and the calculation will be simplified. In particular, the local relationship (L) may under certain conditions be determined by the simpler, global relationship

- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a banknote 10, which is provided on its front side with a grid image 12 according to the invention.
- the lattice image 12 was generated on a transfer element, which is glued onto the banknote substrate.

This is described in detail in application PCT / EP 2004/11497, the disclosure of which is incorporated in the present application.
- the grating image 12 shown in detail in FIG. 2 shows an unlatched halftone image having a plurality of brightness levels, which are generated by grating fields 22-1, 22-2 and 22-3 occupied with different grating patterns.
- the procedure according to the invention is as follows:
- Fig. 3 shows first in (a) a predetermined, formed by a dot matrix R halftone image 30, whose dot matrix R comprises a two-dimensional array of pixels, which are given by their coordinates within the image representation and a gray-brightness value.
- the dot matrix R typically represents a graphic image motif, such as the portrait W shown in the embodiment.
- the dot matrix R can be in digital form, for example in a raster graphics format such as GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group), TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or PNG (Portable Network Graphics).
- GIF Graphics Interchange Format

- a vector of a color space such as the RGB color space or the CMYK color space
- three colorants Extracts containing the brightness values for the primary colors red, green and blue replace the described black and white halftone image.
- the totality of the possible brightness values of the pixels of the dot matrix R is subdivided into a preselected number of brightness levels. For example, in the case of a halftone image having brightness values between 0 (darkest gray value) and 255 (brightest gray value), subdivision into three brightness levels can be made by setting brightness level 1 ("black”) to brightness values 0 to 85, brightness level 2 ("Gray") the brightness values 86 to 171 and the brightness level 3 (“white”) are assigned the brightness values 172 to 255.
- those pixels of the dot matrix R whose brightness values lie within one of the predetermined intervals are combined to form two-dimensional image fields 32-1, 32-2 and 32-3, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), so that an overall un-graded brightness level image 34 created with three brightness levels.
- contour lines 36-1 of the areal image field 32-1 associated with the brightness level 1 ("black") are again shown separately in Fig. 3 (c).
- the shape of the image field 32-1 (Fig. as well as the shape of the image fields 32-2 and 32-3) after the summation of the BiId- points determined only by the motif shown, while the originally existing rasterization of the image is completely removed.
- grid patterns 22-1, 22-2, and 22-3 associated with the image fields 32-1, 32-2, and 32-3 are then defined in the grid image 12 and whose arrangement within the lattice image corresponds to the arrangement of the image fields in the predetermined halftone image.
- the grating fields 22-1, 22-2 and 22-3 are occupied by grating patterns corresponding to the respective brightness level, which each generate a flat area of the same brightness level when illuminated.
- FIG. 4 shows a section 40 of a region 22 which contains regions 42 filled with lattice patterns and unfilled regions 44.
- the total width of grid stripes and gap stripes Btot is chosen below the resolution limit of the human eye.
- the overall width can be selected to be larger, so that the streak structure further supports the image impression in the manner of a woodcut or copper engraving.
- the number N of brightness levels is preferably not too large and is in particular below ten.
- the conversion of raster images into brightness level images with three, four or five brightness values has proven to be particularly suitable.
- the grating parameters can be calculated, for example, as described in PCT / EP 2004/011497, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference Registration is received.
- each lattice pattern 50 (FIG. 5) is characterized by two lattice parameters, namely the spacing a of the lattice lines, referred to as the lattice constant, and the azimuth angle ⁇ which the lattice lines include with a reference direction Ref, as in FIG shown.
- the two indications can also be expressed by the grating vector g, which represents a vector of length 2 ⁇ / a pointing in the direction parallel to the grating lines.
- the geometric relationships when viewing the grating pattern 50 are also schematically illustrated in FIG. 5 for defining the occurring variables.
- the orientation of the grating field in space is given by the normal vector n, which represents a vector of length 1, which is perpendicular to the lattice plane.
- the incident light is characterized by one or more illumination vectors k, each representing a vector of length 2 ⁇ / ⁇ , which points from the light source to the lattice image, ⁇ is the wavelength of the light, so that monochromatic light by illumination vectors of the same length and white light is characterized by illumination vectors of different lengths.
- the viewing vector k ' is a vector of length 2 ⁇ / ⁇ , which points from the grating image to the eye of the observer.
- curved grid images can also be generated with the method according to the invention.
- the normal vector unlike flat grating images, is not a constant but varies over the surface of the grating image.
- the above-described calculation of lattice constant a and azimuth angle ⁇ is then performed for each of these sub-regions using the locally constant normal vector n (f).
- both the illumination vector and the viewing vector depend on the position of the respective subarea in the grating image, ie by locally varying vectors k (r) and / or . £ '(F) are given.
- the global relationship (G) then turns into the more general local form
- the grating parameters for each grating field can be calculated using the relationship (G) or (L). For details of the calculation, reference is made to PCT / EP 2004/011497.
- the lattice image is to show a true color image
- the following procedure can be used: Three color separations for red, green and blue are created from the true color image, which can be predefined in the RGB color space, and, as described above, to areal areas with a predetermined number of brightness levels transformed. For example, each of the separations can be converted to a color separation level image with five brightness levels.
- the three color separation stage images are then decomposed into narrow strips and two out of three strips of each of the color separations are omitted. The remaining strips are then interlaced so that where the first color separation strip is absent, one strip comes from the second and one strip from the third color separation.
- the further procedure follows, for example, PCT / EP 2004/011497 in the description of FIG. 13.
- PCT / EP 2004/011497 in the description of FIG. 13.
- the respective primary colors are displayed as spectral colors.
- a change picture is to be executed, i.
- a first or another image should become visible.
- each image is converted from a given raster image into a surface image consisting of areas occupied by one of N brightness levels.
- the description of the local Fig. 6 is made, that is, the images are separated into strips, every other strip of each of the images is omitted. The strips are then pushed into each other so that where a strip of the first picture is missing, a strip of the second picture comes to rest. These strips are then covered with different gratings so that they light up in the desired direction.
- the ratio of the area occupied by gratings to the total area of the strip corresponds to the brightness value.
- the strip width plus the width of the gap is preferably below the resolution of the eye or is chosen so that the strip structure does not interfere with the image impression, but preferably still supported as in a woodcut or copper engraving.
- the grid data is advantageously calculated as described above.
- more than two, for example m images should be visible alternately from different directions.
- the m pictures are available as a dot matrix in digitized form.
- surface images are created. These are divided into strips. From each image, only every mth stripe is kept, and the intermediate (m-1) stripe is removed. The remaining strips of the m images are pushed into each other, so that, if the strips are covered accordingly with grids, the m images from different viewing directions become alternately visible.
- the m-fold strip width is preferably below the resolution of the eye or is chosen so that the strip structure does not interfere with the image impression, but preferably still supported as in a woodcut or copper engraving.
- the grid data is preferably calculated as described above.
- the m images of the embodiment described above are formed from two predetermined images using a morphing computer program. It is Z.
- a morphing computer program For example, the portrait of a human being and the face of a lion are given.
- (m-2) intermediate images are calculated, representing a slow transformation of the human face into a lion's face.
- the m images are sub-images from a sequence of movements that takes place in front of the observer, as in a flip-book, when the image is tilted sideways.
- the m images can also be m views of an object from different directions, with the viewing directions between the views chosen and the eye distance of the observer is included so that when viewing the finished grid image gives a three-dimensional image appears.
- a lattice image produced from a halftone image should not briefly light up in certain viewing directions when tilted but always remain visible over a larger viewing angle range when tilted.
- the strip division was shown as straight vertical strips, but oblique or horizontal strips are also possible.
- the stripes do not have to be straight, they can also be curved or wavy.
- a motion picture can be executed in true colors and in stereo, or a true color picture can remain constant over a larger viewing area. If several effects combined with each other, it can lead to larger groups of strips that must be pushed into each other, so that the group width of adjacent strips without further measures would be higher than the resolution of the eye, which should be avoided in some embodiments.
- Table 2 now shows the section lengths within the strips in a classification according to Table 1.
- Table 1 For the individual color separations, the following data were used as the basis:
- Red color separation At a wavelength of 0.630 ⁇ m, under standard conditions, 0.891 ⁇ m grid line spacing is required
- Color separation Green At a wavelength of 0.550 ⁇ m, under standard conditions, 0.777 ⁇ m grid line spacing is required Color separation Blue: At a wavelength of 0.470 ⁇ m, 0.665 ⁇ m grid line spacing is required under standard conditions As standard conditions, consideration is considered vertically from above, illumination below 45 ° and a horizontal lattice plane.
- a section according to Table 2 is taken, followed by 4 blank sections, then another occupied section, then 4 empty sections. This sequence is continued in the same way.
- 2 sections are occupied according to Table 2, followed by 3 blank sections, then 2 more occupied sections, then 3 blank sections etc.
- 3 sections are occupied according to Table 2, then follow 2 blank sections, then again 3 occupied sections, then 2 blank sections etc.
- 4 sections are occupied according to Table 2, followed by a blank section, then again 4 occupied sections, then a blank section etc.
- the brightest brightness level in a strip all the sections according to Table 2 are fully occupied, ie the section division is omitted at the brightest brightness level.
- the described embodiment is only an example of how to avoid rasterization.
- all m images pushed into one another are independent of one another and can be disassembled in any desired different ways, as long as the sum of the m stripe widths and section lengths lies below the resolution power of the eye or is chosen such that that the decomposition structure does not disturb the image impression, but still supports it as in a woodcut or copper engraving.
- the grid fields can also contain wholly or partly grid patterns which form a matt structure, ie show no diffractive effects when viewed.
- Such matt structures can be produced, for example, by randomly orienting the grating lines in these grids to one another.
- FIG. 6 shows in (a) and (b) grating fields 60 with electromagnetically active grating patterns whose grating lines 62 are oriented completely randomly relative to one another.
- the parameter "orientation” therefore varies randomly and discontinuously over the area of the grating fields 60.
- the random variation continues over the entire area of the grating fields outside the sections shown in Fig. 6.
- Such randomly oriented electromagnetically active grating patterns produce a non-diffractive matt structure. which clearly stands out from a directionally diffracting environment or a surrounding imprint.
- the grating lines fill the shown area less than in Fig. 6 (a). Therefore, the grating pitch of Fig. 6 (a) has a less pronounced matte texture effect than the grating panel of Fig. 6 (b), and therefore appears darker to an observer.
- the differently bright areas of a surface image can be filled with different light matt structures, so that a matt structure halftone image is created that can be viewed under a wide range of illumination conditions (point light such as diffuse illumination).
- first parts of a surface image are executed in matt structure, while other parts are covered with appropriately selected diffractive structures.
- diffractive structures as explained above, coloration and movement effects, so there is the possibility to produce non-halftone halftone screen images with static image components, which are executed in matt structure, and dynamic image components, which are formed with diffractive structures.
