Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to identification documents and a method for making such identification documents. More particularly, this invention relates to identification documents with embedded color printed personalization information.
  • Identification documents are associated with secure applications, such as for example driving licenses, identity cards, membership cards, badges or passes, passports, discount cards, banking cards, money cards, multi-application cards, and other papers of value; and security documents such as bank notes.
  • Such documents are widely used, they may comprise an electronic module or not. If they comprise an electronic module, they can function either with contact and/or without contacts depending on the application to which they are intended for. They may take the shape of card or a booklet or something else.
  • Such identification documents are graphically personalized.
  • Personalized information is personal data of the card's owner, i.e for example his photo, his name, his birth date, his social security number, his biometric information such as his fingerprint for example, a validity date, an identification number allocated to him etc...
  • This personalized information is printed onto the surface of the document, or into one or more constitution layers of the document.
  • Identification cards are generally made with several layers made in plastic material, such as PVC, PET, ABS or Polycarbonate. These layers are attached by means of conventional technology, such as lamination for example.
  • polycarbonate is a very promising compound for such security document because after lamination step of the constitution layers of polycarbonate, these layers are fused together, so that the resulting identification document takes the form of only one piece instead of having many collated layers. Consequently, the resulting document is very secure because it cannot be delaminated.
  • the personalization information is then printed either onto the surface of the document and protected by a protective layer also called overlay, or into the thickness of a constitution layer.
  • a well-known technique to print personalization information inside the document is to use laser engraving technology. For that, the layer into which data are engraved, is made with a plastic containing particles that are laser sensitive. Personalization information is then printed by means of a laser beam, and particles of the layers are burnt under the beam and blackened.
  • This well-known technology enables to insert personalization data into the thickness of the document, so that the data are secured because impossible to remove.
  • such personalization is monochrome, i.e black and white, and today, there is a strong request from the customers to have color personalization for there identification document.
  • patent US 6, 867, 167 describes a solution, which consists in applying a lacquer onto the surface of a layer of polycarbonate.
  • This lacquer enables to modify the molecules in the area close to the surface of the layer, so that adhesive properties of the surface of the layer are improved.
  • colored images are applied onto the surface of the layer, by thermal transfer technology and adhere well onto the surface of the document.
  • the color personalization is provided onto the external surface of the document and is subjected to environmental and mechanical stresses, so that it is not compliant with the long-term life usually required for identification documents.
  • Another solution described in the patent US 6, 986, 926 , consists in providing at least one color pigment into a constitution layer, in irradiating this color pigment by means of a laser beam at a predetermined wavelength, in order to cause an irreversible change of color in the irradiated region, said color change resulting in a bleaching.
  • This solution is close to the laser-engraving.
  • the difficulty is to find the right pigments that will react well to laser beam for providing a colored printing of good quality.
  • such pigments are expensive and they contribute to the increase of costs of finished products.
  • an identification document comprising at least two constitution layers and printed colored personalization data inside the document, which is easy to manufacture, which cannot be easily falsified or modified, and which is of lower cost than the existing solutions of color printed identification document.
  • the solution of the invention to this problem relates to the fact that the identification document further comprises at least one security element located partially onto said colored personalization data.
  • the invention does not prevent the poor color personalization adhesion, but it makes immediately visible any falsification, so that even if the problem of adhesion remains, the color personalization is more secure and prevents any modification or falsification.
  • the invention relates also to a method for manufacturing an identification document comprising at least two constitution layers and printed colored personalization information inside, said method comprising the following steps :
  • ID identity
  • the invention is usable with any data carrier that includes, but is not limited to, a driving license, a badge or pass, a passport, a discount card, a membership card, a banking card, a credit card, a money card, a multi-application card, and other security documents and papers of value that are to be provided with information or data in such a way that they cannot be easily imitated by common means.
  • identification documents may take indifferently the shape of card, or booklet, or something else.
  • FIG. 1A shows a schematic exploded cross-sectional view of an identity card 10 according to a first embodiment.
  • This card comprises at least two constitution layers.
  • the second layer 15 is also called "overlay" or top layer.
  • the card comprises four layers 11, 12, 13 and 15.
  • Layers 11, 12 and 13 are intended to be fixedly attached together by means of conventional technology, such as lamination for example.
  • layers 11 and 12 can be for example opaque or clear, and laser sensitive or not, while layers 13 and 15 can be, but not limited to, at least translucent, and laser sensitive or not.
  • the layer 12 can be made in a material that is laser sensitive, in order to add another information by means of a laser beam into this layer, that could be visible through the colored printed information 21.
  • At least one personalized information 21 linked to the card owner is then printed in color onto an area of the surface of the layer 13 intended to be covered by the overlay 15.
  • This personalized information 21 is for example the photograph of the card owner. It can also be textual information such as his name, his birth date, his address etc. Layer above this printed color personalization information is transparent, so that the colored printed information is visible through this top layer 15, while protected against environmental and mechanical stresses.
  • the personalization information 21 may be printed by using a conventional printing process, such as direct transfer, or retransfer, or ink jet, or other processes, which enable to have color personalization.
  • the top layer 15 is for example attached to layers 11, 12, 13, by means of lamination process.
  • the layers can be made with polycarbonate. This material is very interesting because, when they are laminated, the layers are fused and form only one piece instead of collated layers that could be delaminated.
  • invention is not limited to this preferred embodiment, and layers made in other plastic material, such as PVC, ABS, PET etc;.. can also be used.
  • a security element 22 is added into the document in such a manner that it is provided onto the internal surface of the top layer 15 covering the first 13 one, and it is partially located onto the colored printed personalization information 21. In this case, any attempt to remove the personalization information 21 will destroy the security element, so that it is impossible to reprint another information and to reposition it into the document.
  • the security element 22 can be, but is not limited to, a background printing, such as wavy lines for example, like guilloches pattern as it is illustrated in figure 1B , and/or an optically variable device 23, such as hologram for example as illustrated in figure 2 , or a laser engraved information 24, 25 as illustrated in figure 1A , optically variable inks, embossing, or other....
  • the background can be printed by means of any conventional printing process.
  • any attempt to cut the top layer 15 just around the area of the color personalization 21 will destroy the background.
  • the background will be divided: a part of the background will remain on the internal surface of the top layer 15, and another part will be on the layer 13.
  • an infringer will cut the top layer 15 just around the picture area.
  • Fine wavy lines constituting the background are printed on top layer 15, so when removing the top layer on perso area, fine wavy lines remain on top layer.
  • FIG. 2 Another variant schematized in figure 2 consists in adding an optically variable device, also called "OVD" 23, such as a hologram for example, directly onto the internal surface of the top layer 15.
  • OLED optically variable device
  • the top layer is then attached to the layer 13, which holds the color personalization 21, in such a manner that when the layers are laminated together, the OVD 23 covers partially the color personalization 21 on a width W.
  • the OVD 23 and the remaining area of the internal surface of the top layer 15 may also be printed with a background 22 comprising wavy fine lines, by any conventional printing process.
  • another security element provided so as to cover partially the color personalization 21 can be a laser engraving personalization 24, 25.
  • the top layer 15 (see figure 1A ) is laser sensitive and/or a layer 12 or 11 below the layer 13 holding the color personalization is laser sensitive, or the layer 13 itself.
  • the identification document is laser personalized 24, onto the internal surface of the top layer 15, in order to overlap partially the color personalization 21 area. If top layer 15 is cut just around color personalization and removed, laser personalization remains on overlay, so that this overlay can not be reused because it is personalized.
  • More than one type of security element can be used simultaneously in order to enhance the security of the color personalization.
