  • Fig. 4B shows the information conveyed by the optically variable element A.4, A.5, A.6 when the data carrier 11 is viewed vertically.
  • Fig. 4C shows the information conveyed by the optically variable element A.4, A.5, A.6 when viewing the data carrier 11 obliquely.
  • first motif elements 2 and / or second motif elements 3 may be arranged, which contribute to the see-through register.
  • the recognizability of the first or second motif elements 2, 3 is not substantially impaired by the optically variable element, it is advisable to use those in the Fig. 4A shown, made of Colorfix colors wing pairs A.4 and A.5 in rasterized form (eg as a dot or line grid) to provide.
  • optical interference layers can be present either over the entire surface or in pigment form.
  • Such interference layers typically have a thin film structure that includes a reflective layer, a partially transparent layer, and one or more intervening dielectric spacer layers. These are based, for example, on mica, on SiO 2 or on Al 2 O 3 .
  • Such interference layers are referred to as one or more layers according to the number of dielectric layers.
  • Inks with pigments such thin film interference layers, for example, under the name Iriodin ® (single layer) or Colorcrypt ® (multi-layer) marketed by Merck KGaA.
  • Inks with multilayer interference coating pigments are also sold under the name OVI ® of SICPA.
  • interference layers or interference layer pigments are cholesteric or other liquid crystals which may also be used. These are, for example, as liquid-crystalline silicone polymers before or as pigments in so-called STEP ® Colors ( "Shimmery Twin Effect Protection"). Furthermore, diffractive structures, such as holograms, which typically include vacuum deposited metallic layers, or diffraction gratings also produce a different visual impression to a viewer at different viewing angles.

Claims (11)

  1. Élément de sécurité destiné à un support de données (11), comprenant un substrat porteur (1) translucide dont la face avant comporte un premier motif à premiers éléments de motifs (2) reconnaissable lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant et dont la face arrière comporte un deuxième motif à deuxièmes éléments de motifs (3) reconnaissable lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'arrière, cependant que
    les premiers éléments de motifs (2) et les deuxièmes éléments de motifs (3) sont agencés en quinconce et forment ensemble un troisième motif reconnaissable lors d'une observation en lumière transmise, et
    la face avant de l'élément de sécurité étant, dans la zone du premier motif et au-dessus de ce dernier, pourvue d'un élément (4) variable optiquement n'affectant essentiellement pas la reconnaissabilité du premier motif en lumière incidente à l'avant ni la reconnaissabilité du troisième motif en lumière transmise, cependant que
    l'élément (4) variable optiquement comporte au moins une première zone (5) et une deuxième zone (6) qui, lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant sous un premier angle de vue de dessus, à savoir dans un angle de 90° par rapport au plan du substrat porteur, apparaissent visuellement uniformes, et, lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant sous un deuxième angle de vue de dessus, à savoir dans un angle de 20° à 60° par rapport au plan du substrat porteur, apparaissent visuellement distinguables et forment un quatrième motif reconnaissable pour l'observateur, et
    l'élément (4) variable optiquement est homogène et de nature transparente ou translucide appropriée, de telle sorte que des éléments de motifs du premier et/ou du deuxième motif agencés en-dessous sont perceptibles pour l'observateur, ou l'élément (4) variable optiquement présente une structure microstructurée, à savoir un tramage, qui ne peut pas être résolue par un observateur et est opaque, de telle sorte que des éléments de motifs du premier et/ou du deuxième motif agencés en-dessous de l'élément variable optiquement sont perceptibles pour l'observateur.
  2. Élément de sécurité selon la revendication 1, le premier motif reconnaissable lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant, le troisième motif reconnaissable en lumière transmise et le quatrième motif reconnaissable sous le deuxième angle de vue de dessus lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant ayant entre eux un rapport de sens.
  3. Élément de sécurité selon la revendication 1 ou 2, cependant que le quatrième motif reconnaissable sous le deuxième angle de vue de dessus lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant, en relation avec le premier motif reconnaissable lors d'une observation en lumière incidente à l'avant et/ou avec le troisième motif reconnaissable lors d'une observation en lumière transmise, procurent à l'observateur une information dynamique de mouvement reconnaissable lors du basculement de l'élément de sécurité.
  4. Élément de sécurité selon une des revendications de 1 à 3, la première zone (5) de l'élément variable optiquement (4) comportant un vernis brillant transparent ou translucide et la deuxième zone (6) de l'élément variable optiquement comportant un vernis mat transparent ou translucide, le vernis brillant et le vernis mat apparaissant visuellement uniformes lors d'une observation perpendiculaire, et le vernis brillant étant reconnaissable pour l'observateur sous forme d'un quatrième motif lors d'une observation sous un angle de vue de dessus de 20° à 60°.
