  • the document US2012/0189159 relates to a security element comprising an optical system.
  • the document DE 10 2007 007 914 A1 relates to a high-index embossing lacquer for the production of micro-optical arrangements.
  • WO 2009/053673 A1 relates to a security element for use in or on security substrates.
  • the document GB 2464496A relates to a security feature having a printed image.
  • the document DE 103 33 255 B3 relates to a method for generating a surface pattern.
  • Register or register accuracy is to be understood as meaning the positionally accurate arrangement of layers lying one above the other in relation to one another while maintaining a desired positional tolerance.
  • the partial second layer or the partial second layer system as a mask in order to structure the partial first layer or the partial first layer system, it is possible to arrange the two layers or layer systems exactly in register with one another. It is particularly important that the second partial layer or the second partial layer system not only extends into those areas that are covered by the first partial layer or the first partial layer system - i.e. the first partial area - but also in the areas not covered by the first partial layer or the first partial layer system--ie the second partial area.
  • the second partial layer or the second partial layer system as a mask is to be understood here that when structuring the first partial layer or the first partial layer system, this or this in those areas that are covered by the second partial layer or the second partial layer system is selectively covered. A defined positional relationship between the two layers or layer systems therefore results during the structuring, so that they are arranged in register with one another, for example adjoining one another seamlessly.
  • a layer system is to be understood here as meaning any arrangement of a plurality of layers.
  • the layers can be arranged one above the other in the direction of the surface normal of the layer system or also next to one another in one plane. A combination of such horizontally and vertically arranged layers is also possible.
  • Overlapping is understood here to mean that the respective subregions lie at least partially on top of one another in the direction of the surface normal of the planes spanned by the first or second layer, ie viewed in the stacking direction of the multi-layer body.
  • the two layers or layer systems do not have to be generated in the specified order, i.e. the second partial layer or the second partial layer system can also be generated before the first partial layer or the first partial layer system.
  • the layers or layer systems can be produced directly on the substrate, directly one on top of the other or with the production of any intermediate layers.
  • the partial first layer or partial first layer system is structured in step c) by etching.
  • the partial second layer or the partial second layer system is an etching resist or comprises an etching resist.
  • An etch resist should be understood to mean a substance that is resistant to an etchant and one that is sensitive to the etchant substance from attack by the etchant where it covers it.
  • an etchant is applied to the resulting layer stack, which removes the first partial layer or the first partial layer system where it is not covered by the second partial layer or the second partial layer system is.
  • the etching resist is a lacquer that can include, in particular, binders, dyes, pigments, in particular colored or achromatic pigments, effect pigments, thin-film layer systems, cholesteric liquid crystals and/or metallic or nonmetallic nanoparticles.
  • the second partial layer or the second partial layer system thus not only fulfills a protective function when structuring the first partial layer or the first partial layer system, but can itself develop a decorative effect. It is also possible for several different etching resists, for example resist lacquers with different colors, to be used for the second partial layer or the second partial layer system in order to produce further visual effects.
  • the etchant used to structure the first partial layer or the first partial layer system depends on the composition of this layer or this layer system.
  • Etching resists based on PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polyester resins, acrylates, for example, are suitable for such etching agents, with other film-forming substances such as nitrocellulose typically being admixed.
  • the etching can be supported by mechanical agitation, for example by brushing, moving the etching bath or ultrasonic treatment. Customary temperatures for the etching process are preferably between 15°C and 75°C.
  • the partial second layer or the partial second layer system can preferably be a protective lacquer or comprise a protective lacquer.
  • Protective lacquer should be understood to mean a substance which absorbs in a wavelength range used for exposing the partial first layer or the partial first layer system. During exposure, the partial layers or layer systems are irradiated over their entire surface with light in this wavelength range, preferably perpendicularly to the layer plane. Typical wavelengths used for exposure are, for example, 250 nm to 420 nm. Exposure is preferably carried out with a dose of 10 mJ/cm 2 to 500 mJ/cm 2 . The exposure times result from the sensitivities of the materials used and the power of the available exposure source.
  • the partial second layer or the partial second layer system is present, less light of this wavelength therefore reaches the partial first layer or the partial first layer system.
  • etch resists and protective lacquers for example by adding absorbing substances, for example so-called UV absorbers, dyes, color pigments or scattering substances, such as titanium dioxide, to an etch resist lacquer.
  • absorbing substances for example so-called UV absorbers, dyes, color pigments or scattering substances, such as titanium dioxide
  • the protective lacquer is preferably a lacquer that contains, in particular, binders, dyes, pigments, in particular colored or achromatic pigments, effect pigments, thin-film layer systems, cholesteric Includes liquid crystals and/or metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles.
  • Suitable protective coatings are formulated, for example, based on PVC, polyester or acrylates.
  • the second partial layer or the second partial layer system thus not only fulfills a protective function when structuring the first partial layer or the first partial layer system, but can itself develop a decorative effect. It is also possible for several different protective lacquers, for example with different colors, to be used for the second partial layer or the second partial layer system in order to produce further visual effects.
  • the partial first layer or the partial first layer system is a photoresist or includes a photoresist.
  • a photoresist changes its chemical and/or physical properties when exposed to light in a specific wavelength range, so that the different properties of the exposed and unexposed areas can be used to selectively remove the photoresist in one of the areas. For example, when the photoresist is exposed to light, its solubility in relation to a solvent that can be used to develop the photoresist after exposure changes. In the case of positive photoresists, the exposed area is selectively removed in the development step following exposure, while in the case of negative photoresists the unexposed area is removed.
  • a photoresist can also serve as a washable lacquer.
  • Suitable positive photoresists are, for example, AZ 1518 or AZ 4562 from AZ Electronic Materials based on phenolic resin/diazoquinone.
  • Suitable negative photoresists are, for example, AZ nLOF 2000 or ma-N 1420 from micro resist technology GmbH, for example based on cinnamic acid derivatives. These can preferably be exposed by irradiation with light in a wavelength range from 250 nm to 440 nm. The required dose depends on the respective layer thickness, the exposure wavelength and the sensitivity of the photoresist.
  • Tetramethylammonium hydroxide for example, is suitable for developing these photoresists.
  • the development preferably takes place at temperatures of 15°C to 65°C for a preferred development time of 2 seconds to a few minutes.
  • the development process and the associated local removal of the photoresist can again be carried out by mechanical agitation, such as brushing, wiping, or flowing be assisted with the developing medium or ultrasonic treatment.
  • the photoresist can also contain, in particular, binders, dyes, pigments, in particular colored pigments, effect pigments, thin-film layer systems, cholesteric liquid crystals and/or metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles in order to achieve additional decorative effects.
  • the partial first layer or the partial first layer system and/or the partial second layer or the partial second layer system is first produced over the entire surface or at least in large areas and then structured.
  • the full-area or large-area production can take place, for example, by printing or vapor deposition.
  • the subsequent structuring of the partial first layer or the partial first layer system and/or the partial second layer or the partial second layer system in steps a) or b) then takes place by etching.
  • the required etching resists can in turn be part of one or both of the layer systems or be applied as additional layers. These layers can in turn remain as part of the layer systems or can also be detached again in a further step.
  • an external exposure mask can also be used, which is placed on the respective layer or the respective layer system.
  • methods are also possible in which specific areas of the first layer or of the first layer system are partially removed, for example by means of a laser. Such methods are particularly suitable for the individual marking of security elements.
  • the partial first layer or the partial first layer system is structured at the same time as in step c). This creates a method that can be carried out particularly simply and quickly.
  • the partial first layer or the partial first layer system and/or the partial second layer or the partial second layer system can be produced in a structured manner in step a) and/or b).

  • FIGS. 3 to 5 show the manufacturing steps of an alternative multi-layer body 10, which, however, corresponds to the basic structure in 2 shown.
  • the essential difference lies in the fact that the second layer 12 is not already printed on in a structured manner in this case, but is first applied over the entire area or at least in large areas and is then structured.
  • a release layer 14 and a replication layer 15 made of, for example, a thermoplastic material or a radiation-curable or temperature-curable replication lacquer are first applied to a carrier layer 13 made of polyester, in particular PET, with these layers in turn being able to consist of several layers.

  • an etching resist lacquer for example based on PVC/PVAc (polyvinyl acetate) copolymer, can be provided with, for example, UV-absorbing titanium dioxide particles or other UV blockers.
  • Exposure to UV light then takes place from the side of the mask layer 16 .
  • the exposure preferably takes place at a wavelength of 365 nm with a dose of 25 mJ/cm 2 to 500 mJ/cm 2 .
  • NaOH is suitable for this purpose, for example, in a preferred concentration of 0.05% to 2.5%, which preferably acts on the intermediate product for a period of 2 seconds to 60 seconds at a temperature of 20° C. to 65° C.
  • the photoresist 121, 122 of the layer 12 was exposed during the UV irradiation and therefore now dissolves in the developer bath. You get that in 4 shown intermediate. However, this is not isolated. Rather, the etching process is continued, the HRI layer 11 now being attacked where it is not protected by the remaining layer 12 .

  • Diffractive structures can thus be seen in the opaque metallic areas of the first layer 11 and in the areas of the transparent HRI layer 17, but typically not in the printed areas of the second layer 12, because the diffractive structures are printed directly onto the diffractive structures by the color coating of the second layer 12 are extinguished because the colored lacquer preferably has a similar refractive index (about 1.5) as the replication layer and therefore no optically effective boundary layer is formed between colored lacquer and replication layer.
  • the refractive indices of the two adjacent layers should preferably not differ from one another by more than 0.1.

  • Figure 7b again shows how the second layer 12 is printed onto the first layer 11 viewed from the print side.
  • Figure 7c shows the finished multi-layer body viewed from the metal side. Due to the opaque metal layers, the print of layer 12 under the metal areas of layer 11 is not visible.
  • the first layer 11 can be structured in two steps, since, for example, different etching agents have to be used for the two metals or metal alloys used. If Al and Cu are used for the first layer 11, these are NaOH and FeCl 3 , for example. However, since the same printed mask is used for structuring, namely the second layer 12, the transitions between the two metals 113, 114 of the first layer 11 take place in perfect register, i.e. in the exact position relative to the printing of the second layer 12.

  • NaOH can be used to remove the aluminum fractions under the conditions described
  • NaOH or Na 2 CO 3 is preferably also used to remove an HRI layer made of ZnS at a temperature of 20° C. to 60° C. for a period of 5 seconds to 60 seconds used.
  • the finished multi-layer body is in Figure 8c seen from the side of the first layer 11.
  • the effect of the diffractive structures in the substrate can also be seen in the non-metallic areas in which the HRI layer 17 is present, while at the same time the color print of the second layer 12 can be seen because the HRI layer is still between the printed and the diffractive structures 17 is arranged as an optical boundary layer.
