  • FIG. 12 One represented on the figure 12 an alternative embodiment in which the structure 10 comprises two transparent layers 11a and 11b.
  • the structure 10 When the structure 10 is observed under UV illuminant from the face 14 of the layer 11a, by illuminating the structure from this face, the lights emitted by luminescence by the compositions 12 and 13 are added where the openings 19b allow the light emitted by the fluorescent composition 13 to reach the face 14, while where this light is blocked by the opaque zones 18b, the patterns formed by the openings 19a are only observable with the light produced by the fluorescent composition 13.
  • FIG. 13 We represented at the figure 13 an example of a security document 30 incorporating a security structure 10 in accordance with the invention. This is in the form of a security thread incorporated into windows, and extending from one edge of the document to the other.
