Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element for security papers, documents of value or the like, with a carrier which is at least partially transparent or translucent, a first printed image attached to the carrier and a second printed image attached to the carrier, which is arranged under the first printed image.
  • the invention further relates to a document of value with such a security element.
  • the invention relates to a manufacturing method for a security element for security papers, documents of value or the like, in which a carrier is provided with a first printed image and with a second printed image which lies under the first printed image.
  • Items to be protected are often provided with a security element that allows verification of the authenticity of the item and at the same time serves as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
  • Items to be protected include, for example, security papers, identity and value documents (such as banknotes, chip cards, passports, identification cards, identity cards, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers,
  • the security against forgery of a security element is particularly great when the security element shows in perceptible motives that lie in a certain position to each other and / or difficult to imitate or copy.
  • a security element which has a translucent carrier material which has on one side with a first periodic dot or line print pattern and on a second side to a substantially mirror-image second periodic dot or line print pattern up.
  • WO 2008/098739 A2 describes a security element in which front and back side information supplement each other.
  • WO 2004/020217 AI continues this line rastering in that the modulation is provided only at one edge of the lines. The opposite edge is smooth.
  • Such a modulation is referred to as a one-sided modulation of a line screen or as a one-sided modulated line screen.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a security element which displays different motifs on the front and rear sides and a further motif of good quality when viewed through the light.
  • a security element for security papers, documents of value or the like with a carrier that is at least partially transparent or translucent, a first printed image attached to the carrier, a second printed image attached to the carrier, which lies in another plane as the first print image, wherein the first print image and the second print image are each formed by line grids are, wherein at least one of the two line grids is modulated on one side, the two line grids are aligned parallel to each other and the printed images and their line grids are coordinated so that in review, the line grids complement each other depending on the perspective.
  • the object is further achieved by a value document with such a security element.
  • the object is also achieved by a production method according to claim 8, in which the line grids are matched to one another in such a way that the line grids complement each other at a certain viewing angle in such a way that a motif formed by one of the line grids is extinguished.
  • the security element according to the invention achieves a tilting effect with auxiliary line structures which can be produced with relatively simple pressure. Due to the one-sided structuring of a line grid in accordance with WO 2004/020217 A1, the disclosure of which is fully incorporated into this application in this respect, shading or masking of the motif, which is structured with the one-sided line raster, can be achieved in a simple manner by tilting. It is therefore provided in a development that the line grids are coordinated so that the line grid in a certain viewpoint so complement each other in such a way that a formed by the one-sided structured line grid motif is extinguished.
  • both line grids can be modulated on one side and be formed so that they complement each other in view looking for at least two different motives.
  • Printing technology is it preferred here, if both line grids have the one-sided modulation on the same side of their lines.
  • the two line grids are aligned parallel to one another in order to achieve the viewing angle-dependent supplementing of the line grids according to the invention.
  • the line grids preferably also have the same spatial frequency transversely to the line direction.
  • the angle then changes the phase, which have the line grid to each other and thus reaches the complement, which can also be a procure.
  • the printed images are in different levels. This can z. B. be achieved in that they are arranged on top or bottom of the carrier.
  • the grid structures may be slightly offset from each other or printed; Nevertheless, the function is guaranteed. However, it should be striven for as much register accuracy as possible (top / bottom).
  • Another possibility is the printing of two carrier layers, which can be combined in the process step (eg card production in the "sandwich process").
  • Another possibility is to pre-print one page conventionally and to image the other side with a laser, inkjet, laser printing process. This allows for personalization.
  • the implementation of the printed images can generally be done as a number, number, ornamentation, pictorial representation, portrait and a combination thereof.
  • the invention makes it possible to recognize two subjects in the interplay by tilting the carrier.
  • the manufacturing method can also be carried out in multiple stages in order to achieve an individualization of a security element.
  • the manufacturing process first generates a precursor of the security element, at which a one-sided modulation of at least one line grid is carried out at the end of the production process in order to individualize the security element.
  • the order of application of the line grid and the generation of the half-side modulation can thus be adapted to the respective conditions, in particular the modulation does not have to be done when printing the line grid, but can also be formed later.
  • the print images can have different colors, in particular the print can be executed in color in different colors, wherein first and second print image can be varied differently.
  • further pattern or image-forming elements can be provided, which can be made flat or adapted to the line grids. In this way, for example the attention of a viewer are distracted by the actual tilt information in supervision, which is then perceived only when tilting.
  • the security element also has the advantage that its characteristic structure can be recognized without aids for a viewer.
  • the modulated line grid can preferably be realized with a line width between 20 ⁇ and 200 ⁇ , more preferably between 50 ⁇ and 150 ⁇ .
  • the security element can be embodied, in particular, as a security thread, tear-open thread, security strip, security strip, patch or label for application to a security paper, value document or the like.
  • the security element can span transparent areas or recesses.
  • security paper is understood here in particular as the precursor that can not yet be processed to form a value document which, in addition to the security element according to the invention, may also have further authenticity features (such as, for example, luminescent substances provided in the volume).
  • Value documents are here understood, on the one hand, documents produced from security papers.
  • value documents can also be other documents and objects which can be provided with the security feature according to the invention, so that the value documents have non-copyable authenticity features, whereby an authenticity check is possible and unwanted copies are prevented at the same time.
  • An at least partially transparent or translucent body according to the invention consists, for example, of paper made of cotton fibers or other natural fibers or of synthetic fibers, i. a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers.
  • the body may consist of a film or plastic film or a film composite or of a composite of at least one paper layer which is covered on both its surfaces by at least one film or plastic film and / or at least one lacquer layer. It can also be a card body.
  • the production method according to the invention can be developed so that the described preferred embodiments and embodiments of the security element are produced.
  • FIG. 2 is a representation similar to FIG. 1 to illustrate the operation of the security element of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 5 and 6 show figures to illustrate an individualization of a security element, similar to that of FIG. 1.
  • the figures are not shown to scale for better representation, especially as regards thicknesses.
  • elements which in different embodiments functionally and / or structurally resemble or correspond bear the same reference numbers in all figures in order to avoid description repetitions.
  • the side facing the top in the illustration of FIG. 1 is referred to as the front side or upper side of the security element.
  • the back is accordingly the bottom side. This convention is for convenience of description only and is not intended to be Restriction on the design and / or application of the security element.
  • the basis for the security element 1 is a carrier 2, which can be realized for example by a plastic film. This plastic film is transparent or even translucent, as will be explained later.
  • the security element 1 can be provided, for example, for a banknote. In particular, it may be arranged partially over a window provided in the banknote.
  • a print layer At the top 3 of the security element 1 is a print layer. The same applies to the bottom 4.
  • the printing layer on the top 3 provides z. B. is a first motif obtained by line screening. Thus, located at the top 3, a first line grid 5. Also on the bottom 4, a second linienraastertes motif is printed, which is formed by a second line grid 6.
  • Both line grids are designed as a one-sided modulated line grid, d. H. the information modulation for all lines is only on one edge, whereas the other edge is not modulated. The modulation is achieved in the simplified representation of FIG. 1 by stepped structures. Other structuring is equally possible, such as waves, arcs or circular structures.
  • FIG. 2 shows that the two line grids supplement each other differently depending on the viewing angle of a viewer.
  • the parallel line grids 5 and 6 are displaced by tilting the carrier 2 or by corresponding change in the viewing angle perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lines.
  • different viewing directions A, B and C are entered by way of example. Every line of sight causes another phase of parallel the line pattern.
  • the effect of this phase shift is shown in FIG. 3 in three sub-images, which are assigned to the corresponding viewing angles of FIG.
  • the line raster complement each other so that the modulation is determined exclusively by the line grid 5, since only its modulated edge is visible.
  • the other edge of the line grid 6 is covered.
  • Fig. 3 shows views of the security element 2 from the bottom.
  • the modulated edge of the line grid 5 is almost completely covered, and in the direction of view C, the line screens are shifted from one another such that only the modulated edge of the line screen 6 can be seen.
  • the modulated edge of the line grid 5, however, is covered.
  • FIG. 3 clearly shows that the use of a one-side modulated line raster is essential for the tilting effect.
  • a two-sided modulation as is common in the prior art and would also be desirable from a contrast perspective, there would be a state such as angle A or B in which the modulated information of a line grid is completely visible, although its other edge ist - covers is. Due to the one-sided modulation of the line grid, where one edge of the lines is always smooth, d. H. is not modulated, the coverage of individual line edges is harmless.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the described concept can also be used for shading. If a line raster, in the example the line raster 5, is not modulated, a complete coverage of the modulated edge of the other line raster results, depending on the viewing angle. This state is shown in the left part of FIG. 4. From another perspective, which can be seen in the right part of the figure, the non-modulated line grid 5 is shifted against the modulated line grid 6 so that the modulated edge of the line screen 6 is visible. This recognizes the motif encoded by it. The result is an easy to produce shading image that is recognizable only at a certain angle.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate that the production of the described security element can also take place in two stages. This allows an individualization of the security element.
  • at least one of the two line grids is executed without modulation.
  • the other line grid can optionally be provided with a modulation.
  • This state is shown in Fig. 5, in which the line grid 6 is modulated, for example, so that the printed image represents the portrait of a card holder.
  • the line grid on the other side of the carrier is not modulated.
  • the right part of FIG. 5 therefore shows an unstructured line grid 5a.
  • this line grid 5a can now be structured in a processing step 8 in order to provide further information in the form of an individualization.
  • the result is a structured line grid 5b.
  • the motifs of the line grid 6 and the individualized line grid 5b complement one another, for example the line grid 5b can code a passport number, and the line grid 6 shows the picture of the passport holder.
  • the line grids 5 and 6 are suitable for the production, in particular offset printing, super-simultaneous printing, ink-jet printing methods, laser printing methods, etc.
  • the printing of the line grid can be performed in color, in particular, for the line grid 5 and 6 different colors can be used.
  • at least one of the line grids 5, 6 can also be generated completely by lasering by a laser acting on the corresponding side of the carrier 2 and changed such that the line grid is visually recognizable.
  • This may preferably be applied to passports or ID cards in which individual information, for example a signature or an image, is introduced into or on certain layers which are preferably provided with the substances absorbing the laser radiation. So you can z. B. the two sides of a card body, which acts as a carrier, laser accordingly. It is also possible to remove a print layer which has been applied as a pre-print which absorbs laser radiation, or a doping modified by laser radiation.
  • the carrier 2 shows a certain degree of transparency or translucency. If a transparent support 2 is used, the subject appears particularly clearly in a transmitted light view, but a translucent support can also be sufficient.
  • the substrate used may in particular be single-layered or multi-layered and also carry suitable coatings. Printing, pasting, laminating, laminating or other surface treatments are possible. Also, the pamphlets may be at least partially within a substrate. What is essential is that they lie in spaced planes.
