Description

Security element with aligned magnetic pigments

The invention relates to a security element for security papers, documents of value and other data carriers, with a color layer with magnetically oriented magnetic pigments forming a motif in the form of patterns, characters or a coding, which shows a dynamic movement effect when tilting the security element. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a security element, a security paper and a data carrier with such a security element.

Data carriers, such as valuables or identity documents, but also other valuables, such as branded goods, are often provided with security elements for the purpose of security, which permit verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction. The security elements can be embodied, for example, in the form of a security thread embedded in a banknote, a covering film for a banknote with a hole, an applied security strip, a self-supporting transfer element or else in the form of a feature area printed directly on a value document.

A special role in the authenticity assurance play security elements, the viewing angle-dependent visual effects show, as they can not be reproduced even with the latest copiers. For some time, magnetically orientable effect pigments have been used for this purpose, which are magnetically aligned in the form of a motif to be displayed, as described, for example, in document WO 2009/033601 A1.

Based on this, the object of the invention is to specify a safety element of the type mentioned at the outset, which has a high degree of safety with good visibility and easy verifiability.

This object is achieved by the security element having the features of the main claim. A method for producing such a security element and a data carrier with such a security element are specified in the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. According to the invention, in a generic security element, the first, dynamic motif of the magnetically oriented magnetic pigments is combined with a second, static motif generated by the action of laser radiation in the form of patterns, characters or a coding whose fixed outline, when viewed, is a stationary reference point forms for the dynamic motif.

By combining a static and a dynamic subject, the attention and recognition value of the security element is significantly increased. As described in more detail below, the static motif provides a fixed reference point for the motion effects of the dynamic subject, thereby making it easier for a viewer to see and visually more conspicuous.

In the authenticity check of the security element, the combination of static and dynamic motif is easy to remember and their presence or absence can be easily determined even without tools, so that the relevant security features can be easily and reliably detected and verified by the viewer. The creation of the static motif by means of laser exposure also allows special pass effects and To provide color matching features that can not be practically produced by other methods. Specific examples of such effects and features are given and explained below. In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic pigments are non-spherical, in particular platelet-shaped. The magnetic pigments can be colored and / or optically variable and, in the latter case, in particular contain surface-tilting thin-film elements with an interference layer structure.

The magnetic pigments can be formed, for example, on the basis of high-purity iron powder and, in particular, be prepared from reducing-treated carbonyl iron powder. Advantageous platelet-shaped iron pigments can be taken in particular from the publication EP 1 251 152 Bl, whose disclosure on the preparation and properties of such pigments is included in the present description. The magnetic pigments may also be, for example, wet-chemically produced multilayer pigments or magnetic interference pigments, as described in EP 1 366 380 A2, whose disclosure on the preparation and properties of such pigments is likewise included in the present description.

In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic pigments are present as a mixture of different, preferably platelet-shaped, magnetic pigments.

The ratio of the largest to the smallest diameter of platelet-shaped magnetic pigments is advantageously more than 5: 1, preferably more than 10: 1. This ratio is particularly preferably between 40: 1 and 400: 1. The largest diameter of the platelet-shaped magnetic pigments amounts to Part more than 2 μιη, preferably more than 5 μπι, more preferably more than 10 μιη and most preferably more than 15 μπι. Platelet-shaped magnetic pigments, in particular in the preferred size range and in the preferred diameter-to-thickness range, can be oriented as desired by an external magnetic field relative to the layer plane of the color layer. With high diameter-to-thickness ratios, high contrasts between translucent and opaque layer areas can be set.

The oriented platelet-shaped magnetic pigments form an effective, three-dimensional appearance for the human eye, which in the context of this description is also referred to as a 3D effect or SD impression of the motif. The three-dimensional appearance is associated with a dynamic movement effect, in which the position of the generated motif seems to move when tilting the security element or when changing the viewing or lighting direction.

In a preferred embodiment, the preferably platelet-shaped magnetic pigments are aligned in the form of a centrosymmetric marking, which advantageously contains in its interior a substantially uniformly aligned region with a diameter of 5 mm or more. With particular advantage, the platelet-shaped magnetic pigments are aligned inside the centrosymmetric marking substantially perpendicular to the surface of the ink layer, and are aligned outside the Kenn- drawing with a sharp transition substantially parallel to the surface of the ink layer.

In a preferred variant, the magnetic pigments are aligned by exactly one spherical magnet in the form of the first motif. In another, likewise advantageous variant of the invention, the magnetic pigments are aligned by a plurality of spaced-apart spherical magnets in the form of the first motif. The several ball magnets can be in direct contact with each other during the alignment step or can be separated from one another by spacers. The ball magnets can be arranged with such a large distance that their magnetic fields do not influence each other practically. However, it is also possible to use the superimposition of the magnetic fields of the individual spheres in a targeted manner to produce attractive alignments. In all variants simultaneously ball magnets of different diameters can be used.

A further possibility to control the orientation of the magnetic pigments in a targeted manner is to suitably set the distance between the ball magnet or the ball magnet and the color layer of the security element. The smaller this distance, the greater the selectivity from oriented to non-oriented areas. The most pronounced 3 D effect, on the other hand, is achieved at slightly greater distances. When aligning, a plurality of spherical magnets can also be arranged at different distances from the color layer and thus generate motif parts with different degrees of pronounced 3D effect and different selectivity.

In a further preferred embodiment, the preferably platelet-shaped magnetic pigments are aligned in the form of a marking having two regions in which the magnetic pigments are aligned substantially parallel to two planes pointing in different directions, preferably with a sharp transition between the regions. According to another preferred embodiment, the orientation of the preferably platelet-shaped magnetic pigments is in the form of a characteristic drawing, which contains a region in which the magnetic pigments are aligned arcuately relative to the surface of the ink layer. Such markings can be found in particular in document WO 2004/007095 A2, the disclosure of which is incorporated into the present description for the purpose of producing and owning such markings.

In an advantageous variant of the invention, the second, static motif is arranged completely within the color layer with the aligned magnetic pigments.

In another variant of the invention, which is likewise advantageous, the second static motif in the register is partly arranged inside and partly outside the color layer with the oriented magnetic pigments. The continuation of the second motif outside the color layer with perfect fit "sews" the color layer, as it were, with the surrounding substrate and thus creates a particularly difficult to reproduce design with high security against counterfeiting. In this variant of the invention, the second static motif may also extend over a recess in the color layer, which likewise represents an area outside the color layer.

In the area of the second, static motif, the optical properties, in particular the color or the optical variability of the magnetic pigments, are advantageously changed, but the orientation of the magnetic pigments is retained. Such a change in the optical properties will hereinafter be referred to as "orientation-preserving modification" of the magnetic pigments. The orientation-preserving modification leaves in particular the dynamic chiaroscuro effects of the first, dynamic motif. changes, giving the impression of a fixed plane above the first motif through which the first motif shines through.

Alternatively, it may also be advantageously provided that the orientation of the magnetic pigments in the region of the second, static motif is destroyed or the magnetic pigments are removed from the color layer in the region of the second, static motif. The second, static motif then shows no movement effect when viewed. In the event that a mixture of different magnetic pigments is present, one or more components of the mixture may be altered. In particular, the orientation of one or more components of this mixture may be destroyed in the region of the second, static motif, or one or more components of the mixture are removed from the color layer in the region of the second, static motif. The second motif may also contain two subregions which were generated with different laser parameters, wherein the magnetic pigments in one subarea have been modified to preserve orientation and were destroyed or removed in the other subarea. Since the sections are generated with the same laser beam in the same operation, they are in perfect ePasser Passer to each other.

The ink layer is preferably formed by a screen printing layer. In order to enable the fixation of the oriented magnetic pigments, the color layer with the magnetic pigments is expediently formed on the basis of a UV-curing color system, pure UV systems, UV / water-based systems or even UV / solvent-based systems being considered. In addition to the magnetically oriented magnetic pigments, the color layer may also comprise dyes, luminescent substances or further pigments, in particular colored pigments, luminescent or optically variable pigments, for example pigments produced on the basis of liquid-crystalline polymers or iridescent pearlescent pigments, as described, for example, by the company

Merck KGaA under the name Iriodin (R) are included.

The color layer can also be arranged on a background layer which is colored or optically variable. In particular, the background layer may have a colored or optically variable further identification. Such further identification can also interact visually with the first and / or second motif.

The security element according to the invention can be further provided with one or more protective layers for use as a security element for security papers, value documents and other data carriers, eg. with a transparent protective varnish.

The invention also includes a method for producing a security element for securing security papers, documents of value and other data carriers, in which at least one color layer with magnetically orientable magnetic pigments is applied to a substrate, the magnetic pigments are aligned magnetically in the form of patterns, characters or a coding and fixed in alignment, thereby producing a first subject with a dynamic motion effect, and by laser application in the at least one color layer, a second, static motif in the form of patterns, characters or an encoding is generated whose stationary outline forms a stationary reference point for the first motif.

In a preferred variant of the method, a color layer based on a UV-curing color system is used, and the aligned magnetic pigments are fixed by UV curing of the color layer. The ink layer is preferably printed by screen printing, even if in principle other printing processes, such as flexographic printing or intaglio printing come into question.

It makes sense to laser application to generate the second motif with a pulsed infrared laser in the wavelength range of 0.8 μιη to 3 μπι, for example, a Nd: Y AG laser perform. The laser application is preferably carried out with short pulse durations of 20 ns or less, particularly preferably 12 ns or less.

Finally, the invention also includes a data carrier with a security element of the type described, wherein the security element can be arranged both in an opaque region of the data carrier and in or over a transparent window region or a through opening of the data carrier. The data carrier may in particular be a value document, such as a banknote, in particular a paper banknote, a polymer banknote or a foil-paper composite banknote, or an identity card, such as a credit card, a bankcard, a cashcard, an authorization card, a Identity card or a pass personalization page. In all embodiments, the first and / or second motif, for example, represent a numbering, in particular as a replacement or supplement to a Buchdruckzifferung, about on banknotes. The first and / or second motif may also consist of numbers and letters derived from a digit, for example, numerals or letters calculated from standard-numbered cryptographic methods, or from a repetition of parts of a standard-numbering. The first and / or second motif may further consist of a denomination, such as the denomination of a bill, as shown in Fig. 7, may represent a logo, such as a publisher logo of a central bank or the commemorative occasion of a jubilee, a date and / or represent a time or derived information such as a batch code may represent a graphical element such as shown in FIG. 2 or may represent a code such as a bar code, matrix code or a multi-color code.

In particular, either the magnetic pigment or, in the case of a mixture of different magnetic pigments, a particular magnetic pigment or the color layer can be blackened by the laser application or the substrate or a background layer below the color layer. Also, blending effects are possible, for example, a silver marking of the color layer and a blackening of the underlying substrate. The blackening may appear, depending on the thermal behavior of the substrate, as a finer or thicker mark than the marking of the color layer.

Especially when using the security element in the case of cards, one or more substrate layers may also be provided above the color layer. The layers above the color layer may be laser-markable, whereby here also different line widths can result. These cover layers can also be patterned to produce additional tilting effects, for example by a grid of cylindrical lenses. In embodiments in which one or more substrate layers are present below the color layer, they can in particular be blackened and / or tactilely marked.

Substantially opaque printed layers can also be arranged above the color layer. These can, when they react with the laser radiation, be blackened or removed by the laser marking, for example to produce matt-gloss effects. At the same time the color layer can be marked orientation preserving. If the overpressure is transparent to the laser radiation, it can serve as a protective layer. In an advantageous design alignment, color impression and laser marks disappear when viewed in review. The laser marking can also remove the color, so that at the marked points the transparency is improved. Such security elements can be used in transparent substrates or in transparent window areas of a data carrier. A transparent area may also represent only a partial area within a more complex structure, and / or may be combined with blackening of color layers or substrate layers.

Overall, the proposed combination of a static and a dynamic motif in a security element according to the invention offers the following advantages in particular:

Complex manufacturing: the substrates, colors and marking tools are not readily available on the open market; Good visibility of the relevant safety effects without aids;

Increase the share of added value in the print shop, since the laser marking achieves an additional design effect with significantly increased safety; and

Increase the security of the data carrier by combining effects a not reproducible with other methods fit.

Further exemplary embodiments and advantages of the invention are explained below with reference to the figures, in the representation of which a representation in terms of scale and proportions has been dispensed with in order to increase the clarity. The various embodiments are not limited to use in the specific form described, but can also be combined with each other.

FIG. 7 shows a security element according to the invention, in which the laser-generated static motif is continued in register with the surrounding area of the color layer.

The invention will now be explained using the example of security elements for banknotes. 1 shows a schematic representation of a banknote 10, which is provided with a security element 12 shown in greater detail in FIG. 2 with a combined static and dynamic motif.

Referring to FIG. 2, the security element 12 comprises a color layer 20 of magnetically oriented, platelet-shaped magnetic pigments aligned by a sphere magnet in the form of a sharply defined circular marker 22. The circular marker 22 shows a dynamic motion effect, in which the position of the marker 22 on the security element 12 seems to move when the security element is tilted or when the viewing or illumination direction changes, thus forming a dynamic motif. The dynamic motif 22 is combined with a laser-generated, static motif 28 in the form of two eighth notes, which shows no movement effect, but forms a fixed reference point for the dynamic motif 22 when viewed.

This fixed reference point of the static motif 28, which is integrated into the security element, emphasizes the dynamic movement effect and the three-dimensional appearing appearance of the aligned magnetic pigments, thereby making them even clearer. The immediate proximity of the location-fixed motif 28 draws the attention of the observer by the contrast effect on the seemingly moving dynamic motif 22.

The observer can also easily check the authenticity of the security element 12, since the combination of static and dynamic motif is easy to memorize and its presence can be determined without any aids.

Finally, as explained in more detail below, the generation of the static motif by means of laser radiation can produce special effects in the combination marking which can not or only with difficulty be achieved in other ways.

With reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, the orientation of the magnetic pigments of the ink layer 20 with a spherical magnet will first be described in more detail. FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the security element of FIG. 2 along the line IV-IV, FIG. 3 shows schematically the alignment of the still movable magnetic pigments 44 in the field of a spherical magnet 30. The magnetic pigments 44 may, for example, be platelet-shaped iron pigments which are produced from reducing-treated carbonyl selenium powder and which can be produced with a high ratio of platelet diameter to platelet thickness. Also suitable are wet-chemically prepared pigments with a support of mica, Si0 ₂ or mica and an outer shell of iron oxide (Fe 3 C> 4), which gives the magnetic pigments their magnetic properties. Such pigments are offered for example by Merck KGaA under the name Colorona Blackstar (R). By changing the iron oxide layer thickness, different shades of color can be achieved (eg green, blue, red). For security printing, opaque magnetic pigments with a color shift effect, for example under the name Colorcrpt (R) Magnetic Gold, magnetic interference pigments, as described in EP 1 366 380 A2, or covering magnetic pigments with a uniform color are also available. For example, a gold-colored, magnetically-alignable magnetic pigment A1 ₂ C> 3 may be coated with Fe30 ₄ and MgO.

In the exemplary embodiment, to produce the security element 12 on a substrate 40, a color layer 20 based on a UV-curing color system is applied which contains the desired magnetically alignable, platelet-shaped magnetic pigments 44. The printing of the ink layer 20 is preferably carried out by screen printing. Then, the substrate 40 is brought with the still moving in the ink layer 20 magnetic pigments 44 at a small distance over a spherical magnet 30 (Fig. 3). The spherically extending magnetic field lines 32 of the spherical magnet align the magnetic pigments 44 substantially perpendicular to the substrate surface in a defined region 42, while Zugsorientierung the magnetic pigments 44 outside of the region 42 is substantially parallel to the substrate surface. The thus aligned magnetic pigments 44 are permanently fixed in their orientation by curing the UV varnish, as shown in the cross section of FIG. 4.

In this way, a centrosymmetric, circular marking 22 is produced, which contains in its interior a substantially uniformly aligned region 24 (FIG. 2) in which the magnetic pigments are perpendicular to the substrate surface. In a narrow transition region 26, the inner region 24 merges into the surrounding region 21 of the marking, in which the magnetic pigments of the color layer 20 are aligned essentially parallel to their surface.

After orientation and fixation of the magnetic pigments 44, the color layer 20 is exposed to laser radiation, preferably laser radiation from a pulsed infrared laser with short pulse durations of about 20 ns or less, preferably about 12 ns or less. The laser beam is typically passed over the color layer 20 with a width of a few tenths of a millimeter and a marking speed of a few m / s in the form of the desired static motif 28.

The laser radiation destroys the orientation of the magnetic pigments in the applied areas or the magnetic pigments 44 are even completely removed from the ink layer 20 in the applied areas 28. The latter is shown in Fig. 5, which shows a cross section through the security element of Fig. 2 along the line VV. The regions 28 without magnetic pigments therefore no longer take part in the dynamic movement effect of the motif 22, but appear stationary and static. The visual impression of the color layer 20 is changed in the applied areas 28 against the unimpacted areas of the ink layer, the type of visual change in particular by the design of the ink layer, by the choice of magnetic pigments, by the laser parameters in the application, by a optionally arranged below the color layer 20 background layer or a layer disposed over the color layer 20 cover layer can be adjusted in wide ranges as desired. For example, in addition to the magnetic pigments 44, the color layer 20 may contain color pigments which are not influenced by the laser radiation and whose color impression after exposure determines the visual impression of the regions 28. The color layer 20 can also be transparent or translucent after removal of the magnetic pigments and release the view of a background layer in the areas 28. Such a background layer can be monochrome or even contain a marking, so that the applied areas 28 at different points of the security element 12 show a different visual impression.

In another variant of the invention, the orientation of the magnetic pigments is obtained by the laser radiation, but the optical properties, in particular the color or the optical variability of the magnetic pigments, are changed.

FIG. 6 shows in cross-section a representation as in FIG. 5 for another embodiment of the invention, in which the color layer 20 contains optically variable, magnetic interference-layer pigments 52. Due to the laser radiation in the acted areas 50 only one or several layers of the interference layer pigments 52 are removed or destroyed, so that they lose their optically variable properties there and appear as modified pigments 54, for example with a silver-gray color impression.

As a result of the orientation-preserving modification of the optical properties of the magnetic pigments 52, a mixing region is formed in the security element, in which the modified pigments 54 on the one hand have a three-dimensional appearance due to their orientation. On the other hand, due to the stationary outline of the regions 50, static information is introduced into the color layer 20, which serves as a fixed reference point for the dynamic motif 22. In particular, in this case the dynamic light-dark effects of the modified magnetic pigments 54 remain unchanged, so that the impression of a fixed plane over the dynamic motif 22 is created, through which the dynamic motif 22, as it were, shines through.

The orientation-preserving modification of the optical properties of the magnetic pigments 52 can be used as an additional security feature, since the unchanged orientation of the modified pigments 54 can still be viewed and detected visually as well as with suitable auxiliaries by obtaining the light-dark effects.

The security against forgery of security elements according to the invention can also be further increased by continuing the laser-generated static motif in the exact vicinity of the color layer 20. FIG. 7 shows a security element 60 with a color layer 20 which contains a color mixture of magnetically oriented, optically variable, platelet-shaped magnetic pigments and of yellow-green color pigments. In the color layer 20, as described in connection with FIG. 2, by Orientation with a spherical magnet introduced a circular motive 22 with dynamic movement effect.

Alternatively or in addition to the color pigments, the color mixture may also contain optically variable pigments, in particular interference pigments or liquid crystal pigments. Furthermore, the color mixture may consist of a mixture of different magnetically oriented platelet-shaped magnetic pigments. The dynamic motif 22 is combined with two laser-generated static motifs 62, 64, which form fixed reference points for the dynamic motif 22. The first static motif 62 forms by its outline the denomination "50" of the banknote 10 and is formed by an area in which the optical properties of the magnetic pigments were modified to preserve orientation. The numerals of the denomination "50" appear with their stationary outline, for example silvery in front of the färkkippenden, yellow-green primed liintergrund the optically variable magnetic pigments and the yellow-green color pigments of the color layer 20. The second, linear, static motif 64 extends beyond the boundary of the color layer 20 in the adjacent banknote substrate 70. In the partial region 66 of the motif, which is located within the ink layer 20, the magnetic pigments are completely removed from the ink layer 20 by the laser application, as shown in FIG. Of the color mixture then remain only the yellow-green color pigments. The partial regions 66 therefore do not participate in the dynamic movement effect of the motif 22, but rather form a static image information within the color layer 20. In the partial area 68 of the second motif 64 extending into the banknote substrate 70, a colored and tactile detectable marking is produced in the banknote substrate 70 by the action of the laser radiation. Since the portions 66, 68 are formed inside and outside the ink layer 20 by a continuous guidance of the same laser beam, they are in perfect register with each other. The security element 60 is practically "sewn" by the static motif 64 extending beyond the edge of the color layer 20 with the surrounding banknote substrate 70. Such a continuous motif between a screen-printing ink layer 20 and the surrounding substrate with color edge at the edge of the element can be achieved with perfect registration only by the laser application according to the invention. Another safety effect is formed in the described embodiment by the yellow-green color of the arranged within the ink layer portion 66, which results from the removal of the magnetic pigments and the stagnation of the yellow-green color pigments. The color of the partial region 66 therefore corresponds to the color base of the surrounding, color-shifting layer 20. Such a correspondence is very difficult to reproduce in terms of printing technology, in particular not together with the perfect registration of the continued partial regions 66, 68.
