Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of security elements for securities documents, such as fiduciary documents or similar.
  • “fiduciary document” means all documents such as banknotes, checks, bank cards, used to transmit a sum of money.
  • “Assimilated document” means any document issued by an administration of the State to prove the identity of a person, his rights to drive a vehicle, such as, in particular, the identity card, the passport, driving license, etc. By this expression is also meant any document used to authenticate an object of value such as for example a label affixed to a luxury garment. We also hear any document used to authenticate the payment of a tax such as tax stamps.
  • the complexity of producing such an element generally resides in a diverse combination of printing techniques difficult to reproduce with consumer copying equipment (scanner, laser or color ink jet printers, etc.) and / or standard printing equipment.
  • security elements produce optical effects consisting of optical animations such as contrast sets, color changes, optical illusions, and so on.
  • a security document comprising a substrate and a security element able to change color according to an angle of observation.
  • This security element is formed in a transparent area of the security document and is able to change color according to an observation angle in reflection.
  • WO 2009010714 A1 relates to a security document disclosing the features of the preamble of claim 1. There is therefore a need for new means of identification and / or authentication that may possibly contribute to the aesthetics thereof and whose compliance is easily and unambiguously verifiable, while being difficult to reproduce in such a way as to guarantee a great difficulty of counterfeiting.
  • the subject of the invention is, in particular, a security document, characterized in that the document comprises a substrate and a security element comprising first and second patterns carried by the substrate, in which the substrate further comprises a zone translucent, or even transparent, within which the first and second patterns extend at least partially, the first and second patterns are able to produce, within the transparent area, respectively at least first and second colors during an observation of the document in reflection and to swap these first and second colors during an observation of the document in transmission, so as to compose together a final image producing a variable color inversion optical effect according to configurations of transmissive and reflective observation and in that the element comprises a third pattern, extending at least partially in the zo not transparent, able to stain at least one color during an observation in reflection and to disappear substantially during a transmission observation in the transparent zone.
  • the user has no difficulty in understanding that the inversion optical effect that he observes is that expected.
  • the final image produces a very intuitive optical effect since it is a color inversion in two very different and easily identifiable optical observation configurations.
  • the user is not likely to misposition the document. Indeed, the user is usually spontaneously led to look through transmission and reflection security document, especially because it is strongly encouraged by the presence of the translucent or transparent area.
  • Colors include all possible colors including white, black, and gray.
  • the element comprises a third non-optically variable pattern extending at least partially within the window. This makes it possible to highlight the optical variation of the two patterns with respect to the third optically invariable pattern.
  • the first and second patterns extend within the third pattern to further emphasize the enhancement of the optical variation of the first and second patterns.
  • the security document is designated by the general reference 10.
  • the document 10 is a bank note.
  • the document 10 may be a passport, a driver's license or any other document that may require security.
  • This document 10 comprises a substrate 12 made for example of a material essentially comprising plastic, paper or a mixture both but the invention is not limited to a particular material.
  • the substrate material may also have a multilayer structure, where appropriate, with several layers laminated together.
  • the substrate 12 further comprises a translucent zone 14, preferably transparent, designated in the following description by "window". This zone 14 is preferably surrounded by an opaque zone 16.
  • a window 14 in a security document 10 allows in particular the incorporation of a security element of the type of transvision (in English "see-through") that is to say comprising an image observable in transmitted light or even reflected light in the window 14 from one or other of the faces of the document 10.
  • the substrate 12 is made of a transparent plastic material.
  • the plastics material comprises for example essentially a polymer belonging to the family of bi-oriented polypropylenes (BOPP).
  • BOPP bi-oriented polypropylenes
  • the substrate 12 is for example covered with a layer of opaque white ink around the location of the window 14 while sparing the latter.
  • the substrate 12 may be made of a substantially opaque material and may be provided with a hole at the location of the window.
  • a strip of transparent material is then deposited on one of the faces of the substrate to cover the hole and thus form the window.
  • the strip is for example made of a material essentially comprising polyester. Such an embodiment is illustrated for example in the Figures 9 to 11 . We can see in these figures a strip 18 deposited on the document 10.
  • the document 10 further comprises a security element 20 carried by the substrate 12. More specifically, the security element 20 comprises first 22A and second 22B patterns extending at least partially in the window 14 and in this first embodiment. realization illustrated by the Figures 1 to 3 , the patterns 22A, 22B extend entirely inside the window 14.
  • first and second patterns 22A, 22B are able to produce, within the transparent zone 14, respectively at least first and second colors during an observation of the document in reflection and to to swap these first and second colors during an observation of the document in transmission ( Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the two patterns 22A and 22B are carried by the same face F1 of the substrate 12. However, because of the transparency properties of the zone 14, the image is observable in transmission and reflection from one or other of the F1 and F2 faces of the substrate 12.
  • the first 22A and second 22B patterns are printed with an interferential optical interference iridescent ink.
  • an iridescent ink of particular formulation printed in a transparent area of a substrate produces hue variations when the viewing conditions in transmission and reflection vary.
  • This ink also known as pearl effect ink, incorporates, for example, pigments with small semi-transparent plates that reflect light. These small plates give depth and shine in ink.
  • the size of the pigments makes it possible to vary the satin or scintillating effect of the ink. Thus, a satin effect is obtained with fine pigments and a flicker effect with coarse pigments.
  • the pigments are based on mica and are prepared by grinding mica chips on which is deposited a metal layer such as for example titanium oxide or iron oxide. In this case, the color and the optical effect obtained depend in particular on the thickness of this layer.
  • the pigments are also at the origin of color interference obtained by reflection of the incident light either by the semi-transparent pigments or by a film deposited on these pigments.
  • the invention is not limited to an iridescent ink obtained from this technique.
  • inks capable of producing a color change depending on a reflective or transmissive observation may be suitable.
  • the first pattern 22A is printed with a first iridescent ink and the second pattern 22B is printed with a second iridescent ink.
  • the first ink is the ink referenced 75U008P marketed by the SICPA company which produces a turquoise color in reflection and red in transmission and the second ink is the ink referenced 73U022P also marketed by the SICPA company which produces a red color in reflection and turquoise in transmission.
  • the ink incorporates, for example, security tracers, such as, for example, fluorescent particles, luminescent particles, reaction-type particles. at a predefined wavelength and / or thermochromic particles.
  • security tracers such as, for example, fluorescent particles, luminescent particles, reaction-type particles. at a predefined wavelength and / or thermochromic particles.
  • the first and second patterns are adjacent or even contiguous as shown in the figures. This makes it possible to accentuate the variable optical effect.
  • the security element 20 further comprises a third optically invariable pattern 22C.
  • this third pattern does not vary.
  • this third pattern 22C is printed with a traditional colored ink but having no remarkable optical effect, such as for example an ink for offset printing, letterpress, gravure, flexography, screen printing, intaglio, etc.
  • the first and second patterns 22A, 22B are respectively carried by first F1 and second F2 faces of the substrate 12 in register with each other in order to complete each other to form the final image.
  • the least inaccuracy of identification is particularly visible and detectable by any informed observer.
  • the first pattern 22A extends partially outside the transparent window 14, inside the opaque zone 16.
  • the first pattern 22A comprises a first region R1, representing the number '100' in the window 14 and a second region R2, representing the symbol ' €' in the opaque zone 16.
  • the region R2 of the first pattern 22A extending in the opaque zone 16 appears in the same color as the region R1 of the same pattern 22A extending in the transparent window 14 but less contrasting (the difference in contrast between the two regions R1, R2 is schematized on the figure 6 a dashed outline for low contrast and a solid outline for strong contrast).
  • the region R2 of the first pattern 22A extending in the opaque zone 16 is not observable.
  • the security element comprises a third pattern 22C producing an optically variable effect depending on the inclination of the document.
  • the third pattern 22C becomes invisible in transmission ( figure 11 ).
  • the third pattern 22C is printed with an optically variable ink such as the ink referenced 75U009V OVI Green / Blue or the ink referenced 73U021 V Sicpastar pink / green marketed by SICPA.
  • the security element further comprises a third pattern printed in relief to form a latent image.
  • the third pattern is obtained by deformation of the substrate by means of a press generating a dry stamp.
  • at least one of the patterns, the first or the second pattern can be achieved by intaglio printing inked to form a tactile mark and provide an additional degree of security to the document.
  • the element 20 comprises a third pattern 22C extending at least partially in the transparent area 14.
  • This third pattern 22C is adapted to appear when viewed in reflection ( Figures 12 and 13 ) and to disappear substantially during a transmission observation in the transparent zone 14 ( figure 14 ).
  • the third pattern 22C is preferably adapted to change color depending on a viewing angle in reflection and substantially disappear when viewed in transmission in the transparent area 14, as is illustrated in Figures 12 and 13 which represent the face F2 carrying the third pattern 22C seen under two distinct observation observation configurations.
  • the third pattern 22C takes a first color
  • the third pattern 22C takes a second color.
  • At least the first 22A and second 22B patterns are carried by a first face F1 and the third pattern 22C is carried by the second face F2 opposite to the first face F1.
  • the third pattern 22C is arranged at least partially facing each of the first 22A and second 22B patterns so that the first and second patterns 22A, 22B are at least partially concealed by the third pattern. 22C in reflective observation of the second face F2 and revealed by transparency of the third pattern 22C in transmissive observation from the second face F2.
  • the first and second patterns 22A and 22B are partially concealed by the third pattern 22C.
  • the two patterns 22A, 22B are revealed by the transparency of the third pattern 22C.
  • the third pattern 22C may completely conceal the first and second patterns 22A, 22B ( Figures 12 and 13 ).
  • the observer places the substrate 12 with respect to a light source S to observe the substrate 12 in reflection. It observes two distinct colors each produced by the first and second patterns 22A, 22B, for example turquoise for the first pattern 22A and red for the second pattern 22B.
  • the observer then directs the substrate 12 with respect to the light source to observe in transmission the substrate 12.
  • the image takes on a different appearance by changing the color very clearly.
  • the colors of the patterns 22A, 22B permute.
  • the first pattern 22A turns red while the second pattern 22B becomes turquoise. This change is clearly identifiable to the observer.
  • This optical effect varies in a very intuitive way which removes any ambiguity concerning the authenticity of the document.
  • Having two distinct and clearly identifiable orientations for observing a color change also makes it possible to avoid any mispositioning of the document with respect to a light source.
