This results in a transparent window, which is surrounded by an opaque in incident light and intransparent in transmitted light area.
  • the registration of the recesses 3 and the recess 4 to each other can be easily verified by a viewer in incident light as well as in transmitted light.
  • FIG. 5 another embodiment of a layer structure is shown, which realizes a so-called duplex window. It differs from the previous exemplary embodiments in that on the one hand the recess 4 of the nontransparent layer 5 is covered by a see-through security element 12 in the form of a film strip.
  • the see-through element 12 is laminated with the adjacent transparent film 6a and thereby protected.
  • the arranged on the opposite side transparent film 6b has a recess 13 which is arranged in register with the recess 4 of the non-transparent film 5. Accordingly, the see-through security element 12 is open to this side.
  • the see-through security element 12 is thus only laminated on one side and recognizable in reflected light and transmitted light.
  • the see-through security element can act as in FIG. 5 represented, completely cover the recess 4 of the non-transparent film 5. Alternatively, however, it can cover the recess 4 only partially.
  • FIG. 6 the layer structure of another embodiment of a triplex composite film is shown.
  • a nontransparent layer 5 both sides full-surface transparent films 6 are laminated, which are each provided with full-surface opaque ink-receiving layers 7.
  • the non-transparent layer 5 is also formed over the entire surface apart from grid holes 14.
  • the grid holes 14 represent continuous recesses in the nontransparent layer 5.
  • the grid holes 14 can, as in FIG. 6 shown filled with a translucent or transparent filler 15. When viewed in incident light, only the opaque ink acceptance layer 7 lying in front of the viewing direction is thus visible from both sides.
  • the underlying grid holes 14 of the non-transparent film are not visible in reflected light.
  • the grid holes 14 When viewed in transmitted light, a viewer can see the recesses in the opaque layer 5, that is, the grid holes 14, because of the non-zero transmittances of the opaque ink acceptance layers 7. This results in a hidden security feature. Assign the grid holes 14 as in FIG. 6 schematically shown a smaller width than the layer thickness of the non-transparent layer 5, the screen holes 14 can be perceived only in transmitted light at substantially vertical viewing, which is another security feature.
  • FIG. 7 is a variant of in FIG. 6 shown embodiment shown.
  • the nontransparent layer 5 has recesses 4 which reduce the layer thickness of the nontransparent layer 5.
  • the layer thickness of the nontransparent layer 5 thus varies and optionally goes back to zero.
  • the layer thickness can be as in FIG. 7 shown in the region of the recesses 16 show a continuous course. Accordingly, the transmittance of the nontransparent layer 5 in the region of the recesses 4 changes such that the nontransparent layer 5 is translucent or transparent there. When viewed in transmitted light, there is thus a profile of the transmittance over the region of the recesses 4, which is similar to that of a watermark in paper substrates. When viewed in incident light, the recesses 4 of the nontransparent layer 5 are obscured by the opaque ink receiving layers 7.
