Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of excitable, phosphorescent, photochromic or thermochromic agents.
  • the invention relates more particularly but not exclusively to the use of such excitable agents for securing media such as for example security documents.
  • the patent US 4,500,116 discloses a security document comprising a phosphorescent composition including two phosphorescent agents which emit at different wavelengths and which have different persistence times, so that after excitation of the composition, the light emitted by phosphorescence gradually changes from color, for example, changes from green to blue.
  • Requirement WO 97/31784 describes a security document with a latent, normally invisible image that appears when the document is heated.
  • WO 98/28154 discloses a security element having a photochromic coloring agent.
  • Said at least two agents respectively disposed in said at least two adjacent zones are therefore excitable by the same stimulus.
  • Excitation can induce a change in appearance or state of an agent that is physically measurable with a suitable detector, ie, the change in state or appearance may be detected by means of a radiation or light intensity measurement, for example.
  • the change of aspect or state is "real", precisely located in adjacent areas, and is not related to an optical illusion.
  • the method for creating a visual animation according to the invention is distinguished from an "imaginary" optical illusion, linked for example to the fatigue or movement of the human eye observing a still image which represents a pattern periodic.
  • the visual effects may follow one another in a time period of between 100 ms and 3 s, for example of approximately 2 seconds, the total duration of appearance or disappearance of the visual effects being less than 30 seconds preferably, or even less than or equal to at 10 seconds.
  • a first visual effect may appear, whereas in the adjacent zone the visual effect is not yet visible, and the visual effect may appear in said adjacent zone after a lapse of time between 1 and 3 seconds, for example of the order of 2 seconds following the appearance of the first visual effect.
  • One of the visual effects can be fully visible before the other visual effect begins to appear.
  • the visual effect may appear in both areas and after disappearance of the stimulus, one of the visual effects may disappear before the other, the time lag in the disappearance of visual effects being for example less than or equal to 2 seconds.
  • One of the visual effects may have disappeared for the observer before the other visual effect disappears.
  • the visual effects can be the same color or different colors and in the case of the same color, the same brightness or different brightness.
  • UV filters mixed at different concentrations of the photochromic agents of the different zones or superimposed in the different zones with photochromic agents in different thicknesses and / or concentrations makes it possible to attenuate the stimulus reaching the excitable agents and thus to create a shift in time of the appearances of the visual effects.
  • thermochromic agents by producing a more or less thermally insulating barrier on at least one side of the coloring agent, in one of the zones, it is possible to delay the change of appearance with respect to the other zone, in the presence of a source of heat.
  • thermochromic agents by producing a more or less thermally conductive layer, for example a metal layer, on at least one side of the coloring agent, in one of the zones, it is possible to accelerate the change of appearance with respect to the other zone, in the presence of a source of heat.
  • the thermally conductive layer may be more conductive than the support.
  • the subject of the invention is also a support comprising at least two excitable agents arranged in respective adjacent zones, each of these agents generating a visual effect in response to the same stimulus, the periods of remanence and / or appearance of the visual effects being different and chosen so as to create an impression of movement for the observer.
  • the excitable agents are, for example, photochromic, phosphorescent or thermochromic agents.
  • thermochromic agents it is possible to use the compounds of the Chromazone® range marketed by LAMBERTI, those of the Chromicolor® Aqualite range of MATSUI, those in the form of powders or dispersion of A.I.C. or Davis Liquid Crystal, or even those in the form of thermochromic capsules from the French company GEM'INNOV.
  • the photochromic agents used can be those of the Photopia® range from MATSUI or photochromic capsules from GEM'INNOV.
  • the excitable agents have, for example, durations of persistence of the different visual effects and / or durations of appearance of the different visual effects.
  • the support may comprise at least one filter that attenuates the optical stimulus in the case of a photochromic agent, in particular a UV filter, in order to delay the appearance of the visual effect and to create an offset at the appearance of the visual effect between the different areas.
  • a photochromic agent in particular a UV filter
  • materials of the class of phenyltriazines or benzophenones or materials described in the patent application may be used as UV filters.
  • EP 1 719 637 materials of the class of phenyltriazines or benzophenones or materials described in the patent application may be used as UV filters.
  • the support may comprise at least one thermally insulating barrier on and / or under the excitable agent, so as to slow the transmission of heat from a source external to the support towards the agent excitable.
  • the thermally insulating barrier may comprise a layer or an impression of a preparation containing particles that slow down the heat transfer, such as phase change materials, for example the Micronal products from BASF ", pigments made of hollow sphere plastic such as Ropaque Ultra E or glass microspheres such as 3M Scotchlite.
  • phase change materials for example the Micronal products from BASF ", pigments made of hollow sphere plastic such as Ropaque Ultra E or glass microspheres such as 3M Scotchlite.
  • the support may comprise at least one thermally conductive layer on and / or under the excitable agent in one of the zones, in particular a layer which is more conductive than the support, such as a metal layer, so as to accelerate the transmission of heat from a source external to the support to the excitable agent.
  • the support preferably comprises at least three zones comprising respective excitable agents having durations of persistence and / or of appearance of the different visual effects, these zones being preferably arranged in an order corresponding to the order of appearance or disappearance of the visual effects, so as to generate an impression of movement from the first zone to the last zone or vice versa.
  • the different zones may be juxtaposed, contiguous or not, concentric or not, arranged in a path that may be arbitrary and extending for example along a straight line, a spiral or any other curved or broken line.
  • Two adjacent regions supporting excitable agents with an offset of appearance and / or disappearance of the visual effects can be separated by less than 10 mm, preferably less than 2 mm. All areas to create the animation can be spaced from each other less than 10 mm on the document, preferably less than 2 mm.
  • the support may comprise a plurality of patterns each made with at least two zones as above, so that during or after exposure to the stimulus, several patterns can simultaneously create an impression of movement.
  • These patterns may be identical and create an impression of movement in the same direction or, alternatively, be made so that the motion prints created go in the opposite direction, according to the arrangement of the different excitable agents within the patterns.
  • figure 1 an exemplary document 10 which is for example chosen from security documents, printing-writing papers, for example letterheads, art papers, watercolor papers or packaging, especially those intended to contain luxury products.
  • the security document may be chosen from identity documents, in particular an identity card or a passport, the means of payment, in particular banknotes, checks, vouchers or vouchers, admission tickets to cultural or sports events, transport tickets.
  • the security document 10 comprises at least one security element 20 made according to the invention, in this case two security elements 20 arranged like the eyes of a character in the example illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
  • one of the security elements 20 comprises several zones, for example three in number Z1 to Z3, each comprising an excitable agent A1 to A3. These different areas are arranged so that a visual effect related to each excitable agent appears in response to a stimulus while creating an impression of movement for the observer, thanks to a shift in the appearance and / or disappearance of the visual effects.
  • the excitable agents can be sensitive to an optical stimulus, for example UV or visible light, and include phosphorescent agents so as to emit visible light after disappearance of the stimulus.
  • an optical stimulus for example UV or visible light
  • phosphorescent agents so as to emit visible light after disappearance of the stimulus.
  • the excitable agents are for example different and each associated with a respective zone of the security element, so as to have extinction times t e different, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 .
  • the duration of extinction t e can be defined as the time necessary from the disappearance of the light stimulus so that the light emitted by the excitable agent reaches an intensity corresponding to L max / k, with k equal to 10, where L max is the luminous intensity at the moment when the stimulus ceases.
  • the excitable agent A1 present in zone Z1 is the one that emits light for the longest time, once the stimulus has disappeared, being of extinction duration t e1 .
  • the third zone Z3 corresponds to an excitable agent A3 which has the shortest extinction time t e3 and the zone Z2 corresponds to an excitable agent A2 having an extinction duration t e2 intermediate between t e1 and t e3 .
  • the differences ⁇ t 1.2 between the extinction times t e1 and t e2 and ⁇ t 2.3 between the extinction times t e2 and t e3 are sufficiently short for the user to observe the security element 20, the impression of a movement.
  • ⁇ t ei, ei + 1 less than or equal to 10 seconds in particular of the order of a few seconds, for example 2 seconds, or even less than 1 second, for example 100 ms, the complete pattern disappearing in a time less than 45s, for example of the order of 30 seconds for example.
  • the excitable agents corresponding to the different zones Z1 to Z3 can emit in the same color or, alternatively, emit at different wavelengths.
  • the same zone may in particular comprise two excitable agents of different colors and different extinction times.
  • the zone Z3 contains only the excitable agent A3 while the zone Z2 contains the excitable agent A2 and the excitable agent A3 and the zone Z1 contains the three excitable agents A1 to A3.
  • the different zones can be arranged in multiple ways, for example in curved or straight lines.
  • the most central areas correspond for example to those who have a decay time t th highest, such that when the excitation ceases, the observer sees successively off the different zones from the periphery towards the center .
  • the opposite arrangement is of course possible.
  • a spiral or other path can be made with excitable agents other than phosphorescent, with for example an ignition time that increases towards the center or vice versa.

  • the excitable agents are phosphorescent agents. It is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the excitable agents are not phosphorescent agents but photochromic or thermochromic agents, generating a visual effect that occurs after the appearance of the stimulus. According to the invention, the excitable agents may also comprise a mixture of one or more phosphorescent agents.
  • the excitable agent is a photochromic agent that changes color under the effect of an optical stimulus, for example UV light, or changes from light to dark or vice versa under the effect of this stimulus.
