- banknote. 1 and 2 show a schematic representation of a banknote 10, which NEN in Fig. 2 has shown in detail through-view region 12.
- NEN in Fig. 2 has shown in detail through-view region 12.
- To stabilize the see-through area 12 can be reinforced on the banknote 10 with a transparent film element, not shown.
- the see-through area 12 is formed by a line grid of a plurality of parallel cut lines 22 which have been cut into the banknote paper 20 by the action of laser radiation.
- the line grid of the cutting lines 22 has a period length of 0.5 mm at a cutting width of the cutting lines 22 of 0.15 mm, so that the area coverage of the line grid is 30%. The viewing area is therefore visible both in supervision and in review.
- the see-through area 12 is in the form of a geometric pattern, for example of the oval shown in FIG. 2.
- the outline of the see-through area is indicated in the figure by the dashed line border 24 and serves only the graphic illustration of the formed shape.
- a motif area 30 is arranged, which has a changed visual impression compared to the surrounding see-through area 12 in reflected light and / or transmitted light and is thus recognizable to the viewer.
- the motif area 30 is generally in the form of a pattern, formed by a character or a coding and in the exemplary embodiment has the shape of a maple leaf.
- the dashed line outline 34 of the motif area 30 is merely a graphical illustration of the shape of the motif area 30 and corresponds not necessarily an actual contour on the banknote.
- the motif area 30 itself is also formed by a line grid of a plurality of parallel cut lines 32 which, when perfectly matched, connect to the cut lines 22 of the see-through area 12 lying outside the motif area 30.
- the cutting lines 32 of the motif area 30 are formed with a cutting width of 0.3 mm and thus substantially wider than the cutting lines 22 present outside the motif area.
- the motif "maple leaf” formed by the latter is It is understood that numerical values other than those given by way of example can be used for the period lengths and cutting widths, for example, with a period length of 0.5 mm, the cutting width
- the cutting lines 22 lie outside the motif area 30 between 0.10 mm and 0.20 mm and the cutting width of the cut lines 22 within the motif area 30 are between 0.25 mm and 0.35 mm be lowered.
- the perfect registration of the differently wide cutting lines 22, 32 is ensured by the fact that the cutting lines 22, 32 by laser cutting with the same cutting laser beam are generated in the same operation.
- the different cutting widths are generated by a variation of the laser parameters, in particular the laser power and / or the cutting speed, during the cutting process.
- FIG. 3 (a) shows the substantially Gaussian spatial distribution of the power W of a cutting laser beam.
- the energy input of the laser radiation into the paper exceeds the threshold energy needed to cut the paper 20 in a wide cutting area 42.
- the threshold energy needed to cut the paper 20 becomes In contrast, exceeded only in a narrower cutting area 46, so that a smaller cutting width results.
- the cutting width of the laser beam along the laser beam guidance can be varied as desired at a constant cutting speed due to the virtually instantaneous possible variation of the laser power.
- adjoining cutting lines 22, 32 can be produced in this way in one operation as continuous and thus perfectly adjusted cutting lines.
- the laser power and thus the Cutting width is increased and the transition from the subject area 30 (cutting lines 32) in the see-through 12 (section lines 22), the laser power and thus the Cutting width again lowered.
- 3 (b) illustrates the change in the cutting width by a change in the cutting speed at a constant maximum laser power (distribution). ment 50).
- the laser radiation acts only relatively briefly on the paper, so that the energy input into the paper is low. Accordingly, the threshold energy required to cut the paper is exceeded only in a narrow cutting area 52 with high laser power.
- the laser radiation acts longer on the paper, resulting in a higher energy input into the paper. Accordingly, there is a wider cut area 54 in which the threshold energy needed to cut the paper is exceeded.
- adjoining cut lines 22, 32 can therefore also be produced in one operation as continuous and therefore perfectly adjusted cut lines, so that the cutting speed during the transition from the see-through region 12 (cut lines 22) into the motif region 30 (cut lines 32) is reduced and thus the cutting width is increased and that during the transition from the motif area 30 (cutting lines 32) into the see-through area 12 (cutting lines 22), the cutting speed is increased again and thus the cutting width is lowered.
- FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a see-through area 60 designed according to the invention, in which the parallel cut lines 22 lying outside the motif area 64, as in FIG. 2, were produced by laser cutting.
- the laser power of the cutting laser is lowered below the cutting threshold of the paper 20, so that no cutting lines were generated there.
- the motif area 64 thus remains as an uncut piece of paper and can be seen clearly against the background of the screened viewing area 60, especially in transmitted light.
- the see-through area 70 and the motif area 80 are each formed by a line grid of a plurality of parallel cut lines 72 and 82, the cut lines 72, 82 adjoining each other and the cut width of the cut lines 72 is selected outside the motif area 80 by appropriate variation of the laser parameters is smaller than the cutting width of the cut lines 82 within the motif area 80.
- both the cut lines 72 and the cut lines 82 are each surrounded on both sides by a perfectly matched colored edge 74 and 84, respectively, as shown in more detail in the detail of Fig. 6, the transition of a cutting line 72 in a section line 82 at the edge 86 of the motif area 80 shows.
- the banknote paper 20 was provided with laser-modifiable effect pigments before the laser cutting of a certain environment of the see-through region 70 to be generated, which upon exposure to laser radiation produces a desired color change, for example of colorless to red, show.
- the laser energy exceeds the threshold energy E 1 required to cut the paper 20.
- E 2 denotes the reaction energy of the effect pigments in FIG. 7, at which point the desired color change takes place.
- the marking region 58 the laser energy lies between the energy E 2 required for the color change and the energy E 1 required for cutting, so that in the marking region 58 a color change of Effect pigments is induced, but the carrier is not cut.
- the banknote paper 20 provided with the laser-modifiable effect pigments is therefore cut by the laser beam 55 in a central region 72 or 82 corresponding to the cutting region 56 of FIG. 7 and additionally in an edge region 74, 84 in perfect registration with the cutting line 72 or 82 colored.
- the width of the colored edge region 74, 84 corresponds to the width of the marking region 58 and depends on the beam profile, the reaction energy of the effect pigments used and the material properties of the paper. Outside the cutting region 56 and the marking region 58, the laser energy is below the reaction threshold of the effect pigments, so that the paper is not changed there.
- the laser-modifiable effect pigments can be applied to the banknote paper 20, for example printed on it, or can be introduced into the volume of the banknote paper 20. This can already be done in papermaking by admixture of the effect pigments to paper pulp in the biassing or also subsequently in one Dip or by impregnation in the size press. Curtain coating and brushing are also possible.
- a pigment-free laser-modifiable marker can also be used.
- Such pigment-free marking substances can also be printed on the respective carrier or introduced into the volume of the carrier, for example as a stitch or printing ink.
- Non-pigmented, laser-modifiable coatings can have a very high transparency in the unlabeled state.
- laser radiation for example, a CO 2 laser at 10.6 microns, can be produced at high speed permanent and high-contrast edge markings.
- a modification of the effect pigments or of the pigment-free marking substance by the laser radiation itself is also suitable.
- the modified edge area of the cut lines may even be larger than the beam extent.
- the outer contour 88 of the motif region 80 can be marked by means of the laser radiation, as shown in FIG. 8.
- the laser parameters are adjusted so that the laser energy is above the entire beam diameter below the cutting threshold of the paper, but in an inner region still above the reaction threshold of the effect pigments. This can be achieved, for example, by the choice of a laser energy E between E 1 and E 2 in FIG. 7 or also by an adaptation of the cutting speed.
- the color effect of the outer contour 88 can also be designed so that the effect pigments or the pigment-free marking agent is removed in the middle of the line and the underlying layer or paper surface is revealed.
- FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of a see-through region 90 in which the parallel cut lines 92 lying outside the motif region 100, as in FIG. 5, were produced by laser cutting a marker paper 20 provided with a marker together with a matched colored edge 94.
- the laser parameters of the cutting laser during the transition into the motif region 100 were varied so that the energy input into the paper is below the cutting threshold of the paper 20, but still above the reaction threshold of the marking substance. In this way, the laser beam within the motif area 100 no longer produces any intersection lines with colored edges, but only colored marking lines 102 which adjoin the intersection lines 92 and are perfectly matched to them.
- a further region 110 is provided within the motif region 100, in which the marker 102 again go into color-bordered cut lines 92, 94.
- the shape of the further region 110 may be meaningful with the shape of the motif region 100 and, for example, represent the same motif, as shown by way of example in FIG. 11.
- Such a design can also be considered as a see-through area with an annular motif area 112.
- a plurality of transitions between marking lines 102 and color-bordered cutting lines 92, 94 can also be provided along the laser beam guidance in a viewing area.
- Such designs can generally be regarded as a see-through region with a motif region that is not necessarily continuous or convex, that is, for example, consists of several non-contiguous subregions with holes. Even in such embodiments, the contour of the motif area or its subareas can be marked with laser radiation, as already explained in FIG. 8.
- FIG. 12 shows a see-through area 120 according to the invention, in which the parallel cut lines 122 found outside the motif area 130 have been produced by laser cutting a banknote paper 20 provided with a marker having a matched colored edge 124, as in FIG , In the motif area 130, the cut lines 122, 124 were interrupted so that the motif area 130 forms an uncut paper area within the see-through area 120.
- the laser laser subject area 130 having a laser energy that lies between the reaction threshold of the marker and the cutting threshold of the paper 20 has concentric marker contours 132 provided whose shape of the contour of the motif area is modeled.
- the concentric marking contours do not necessarily represent exact, miniaturized copies of the outer contour of the motif region 130, but, as shown in FIG. 12, may expediently contain fewer and smaller details of the outer contour as the size decreases.
- a continuous motif opening in the form of a pattern, of characters or an encoding may additionally be provided within the motif area.
- FIG. 13 shows a modification of the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2, in which a continuous motif opening 140, here also in the form of a maple leaf, is arranged within the motif area 30.
- the shape of the motif opening 140 may in particular, as in FIG. 13, be in a sense context with the shape of the motif area 30 and / or the shape of the see-through area 12.
- FIG. 14 An embodiment according to an embodiment of the invention, which is related to the design described in FIG. 9, is shown in FIG. 14 in plan view and in FIG. 15 in a detail area at the transition from the motif area to the see-through area.
- FIGS. 14 and 15 includes a see-through area 150 which has both a cut-line grid of parallel cut lines 152 with a colored border 154 outside the motif area 160 and a mark line grid of parallel marking lines 156 that are parallel to the cut lines 152 of the cut line grid.
- both the marking lines 156 and the cutting lines 152 in perfect registration pass over into pure marking lines 162, as already explained in connection with FIG. 9.
- the two line types 152, 156 of the see-through area are arranged alternately, but other sequences, for example of two cut lines 152 and one marking line 156, are also conceivable. Since the marker line grid contains no cut lines, it can also be arranged at any angle to the cut line grid.
