However, areas are provided in which the printed patterns deviate from one another, so that a total of information is encoded, which is visible when viewed in transmitted light, however, is difficult to detect in the supervision.
  • the US 6997482 B2 also deals with a security element that has a first line pattern on one face and a second line pattern on the back.
  • Both line patterns can be derived from a basic pattern and are designed in such a way that it is the interaction of the two line patterns in a visual inspection that makes it possible to recognize an image.
  • the line patterns on the front and the back are modulated in such a way that they do not show any motif on their own in plan view, but the motif appears through a combination of the two modulations.
  • This principle can be used to check the correct registration of the line patterns. This can be used in particular for setting a printing press.
  • the front line pattern interacts with the back line pattern so that the back line pattern is completely obscured by the front line pattern, thereby eliminating the modulation.
  • the back line pattern is only partially covered by the front line pattern.
  • EP 0967091 A1 describes a security element that attaches a raster image on the front and back of a film.

According to both documents it is provided that a viewer can perceive the desired image when viewed vertically. The contrast disappears as the viewing angle increases, until at a certain viewing angle a black area results. This effect is achieved by arranging the front line grid exactly above the back line grid.

  • the invention further relates to a value document having such a security element or a value document which has been produced using such a production method.
  • the invention achieves a higher degree of anti-counterfeiting security in that the print pattern encodes an image that is obscured by elements that are in the same plane as the elements that generate the image.
  • a layered analysis or separation of the security element as for example in the generic security element according to DE 102004007379 B3 possible, is thus prevented.
  • the inventive concept has the advantage that no additional View angle dependence between the first line grid, which encodes the image, and the second line grid, which obscures the image may occur, since both line grids are arranged in the same plane.
  • Another advantage is that a much easier-to-manufacture structure of the security element is achieved, since only two layers are required, the z. B. can be conveniently placed on the front and back of the carrier.
  • the second line grid of the print pattern can additionally encode a motif.
  • the second line grid not only serves to obscure the image encoded by the first line raster, but also provides a (further) motif perceptible outside the particular viewing angle range along with the image.
  • the analyzer thus ensures that only the image is perceptible within the specific viewing angle range and, outside of the specific viewing angle range, the image with the motif.
  • the image in the first line grid and, if present, the motif of the second line grid can have different colors. Thus, both the obfuscation and the recognition of the combination of image and subject outside the particular viewing angle range can be required.
  • a particularly good shading effect by the analyzer results when the first and second line grids of the printed pattern lie at an angle of substantially 90 ° to one another, ie intersect at right angles.
  • the line spacing for the line grid can basically be freely selected. A good combination between easy recognizability and minimization of the printing outlay arises at a line spacing of the first and second line grid of 0.15 mm to 0.3 mm, more preferably in the range of 0.2 mm.
  • the line modulation can then be between 0.05 mm and 0.15 mm.
  • the distance between the two layers on the carrier determines the angular range in which the recognizability of the image of the first line grid is given. ever the larger the distance, the larger the viewing angle range in which no shading occurs.
  • the distance can be adjusted particularly comfortably if the first layer is arranged on the upper side and the second layer is arranged on the underside of the carrier.
  • the thickness of the carrier then sets the distance. This results at the same time easy manufacturability.
  • the modulated line rasters can preferably be realized with a line width between 20 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m, particularly preferably between 50 ⁇ m and 150 ⁇ m.
  • the analyzer ensures that, depending on the viewing angle range, the image coded by the first line grid is visible. Since a shading effect is used for this purpose, the analyzer must be at a distance from the first layer of the line screen which encodes the first image. This can be achieved by providing the analyzer in a second layer that is spaced from the first layer in which the print pattern is located. Alternatively, the analyzer can be arranged laterally next to the print pattern, so that the analyzer is folded over the print pattern by suitable folding of the carrier with the security substrate. The thickness of the carrier then automatically provides the appropriate distance required for the shading effect. As a third option, the analyzer may be provided on a separate carrier which is then placed over the print pattern to verify the security feature realized by the security element by means of the shading effect.
  • the second line grid may encode a motif.
  • image in connection with the first line grid or "motif” in connection with the second line grid were only chosen for discriminating assignment to the corresponding elements or structures. The different terms should not be linked to different meaning. The same applies to the term “motif picture” which will be introduced later. These terms are merely intended to describe that image, motif and motif image each provide their own visually perceptible information. This may include, for example, graphic information, an image, a pattern, numbers, letters or other characters.
  • the shading effect according to the invention between the analyzer and the printed pattern can, as already mentioned above, be developed such that the second line grid codes a motif.
  • this motif can be perceived outside the specific viewing angle range together with the image of the first line grid or instead of the image. This is the case when the analyzer covers the image encoded by the first line raster in a certain viewing angle range, so that when looking through substantially only the motif encoded by the second line raster can be recognized with good contrast.
  • This change between recognizability of image and motif gives the security element a particularly high protection against counterfeiting, since a user can detect a change between image and motif by tilting the security element.
  • a line width modulation can be used to achieve a gray-tone representation of the image or the subject. Particularly preferred is and a particularly effective shading effect shows a one-sided line width modulation.
  • the first or second line grid may encode the image or motif as a light / dark representation by providing corresponding recesses in the line grid. In these recesses then no line grid is present, so that the recessed area is then perceived without further structure.
  • recess there is both a recess of the lines, i. a bright surface, as well as a recess of the line spaces, so to understand a dark area.
  • the analyzer can additionally encode a motif image, likewise by means of one or more recesses in the line grid of the analyzer. But this is also possible with gray-scale images.
  • the security element allows a particularly good visual impression when the carrier between the first and second layer is transparent or translucent.
  • the security element itself can be applied to a further substrate, for example a banknote paper.
  • the transparency between the two layers of the security element can also be achieved particularly preferably by using a three-layer composite material made of plastic and paper as the carrier.

  • An inverse construction with an internal foil layer is also possible.
  • the indication of the number of layers is to be understood as the lower limit.
  • the inner layer has a hole, so that a recess is formed in which the composite material is formed only from the two outer layers, such as film layers.
  • the recess or the hole can through be filled with a bond.

  • both layers it is both possible to attach both layers to the outer surfaces of the composite.
  • one of the two or it can also be arranged both layers in the hole. It is always possible to fill the hole with a transparent adhesive. If such a bond is dispensed with, a relative movement between the two outer layers occurs when the carrier is bent. This relative movement leads to the same shading effect as a change in the angle of view when the security element is kept level. By bending the security element, the change between image and motif or image motif thus occurs in the same way, which results in additional security against counterfeiting.

This type of line modulation, which is known to the person skilled in the art, causes the first line grid 7 to encode a picture. Without the line grid 8, this image would be clearly visible from the top 3. However, the second line grid 8 crossed to the first line grid 7 obscures the perception of the image coded in the first line grid, in particular because the line grid structures are so large that they are difficult or even imperceptible to the naked eye at normal viewing distance.

This gives the advantage that a personalization of the document of value, a document of identification or a credit card is required only on one page. A further advantage is that the information is provided exclusively in the first line grid structure, whereby register variations to the second line grid structure can be tolerated to a certain extent.
  • the personalization can of course also take place in that a color change or a color change or a color removal for the production of the first line grid structure is used.
  • the security element according to the invention can also be combined with other security features in order to achieve a higher protection against imitation or copying.
