Description

Die Erfindung beschreibt Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Sicherheitsmerkmals auf einem tragbaren Datenträger.The invention describes methods for producing a security feature on a portable data carrier.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist ein sogenannter Dye-Sublimation-Prozess bekannt. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Druckprozess, welcher Hitze verwendet, um eine zu druckende Information auf z.B. Plastik, Papier oder Gewebe zu übertragen. Der Prozess wird beispielsweise eingesetzt, um tragbare Datenträger, wie z.B. Chipkarten, Kreditkarten, Bankkarten, Sozialversicherungsausweise, Personalausweise, SIM-Karten, etc. zu personalisieren. Dazu wird beispielsweise ein seitenverkehrtes Bild auf ein Transferpapier gedruckt, um es anschließend z.B. auf ein Gewebe zu übertragen. Alternativ ist auch ein direkter Druck z.B. auf ein Gewebe möglich.From the prior art, a so-called dye sublimation process is known. This is a printing process which uses heat to print information to be printed on e.g. Transfer plastic, paper or tissue. The process is used, for example, to manufacture portable data carriers, e.g. Personalize smart cards, credit cards, bank cards, social security cards, identity cards, SIM cards, etc. For this purpose, for example, a reversed image is printed on a transfer paper, to be subsequently printed e.g. to transfer to a tissue. Alternatively, a direct pressure, e.g. possible on a fabric.

Ferner beschreibt EP 0 071162 A2 ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Sicherheitsmerkmalen auf tragbaren Datenträgern, wobei ein Farbmittel auf den Datenträger gedruckt wird.Further describes EP 0 071162 A2 a method for producing security features on portable data carriers, wherein a colorant is printed on the data carrier.

Bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren erfolgt eine Personalisierung eines Datenträgers als letzter Schritt in einem Fertigungsprozess von z.B. Karten und Ausweissystemen. Dazu wird eine Farbe auf einer Oberfläche des Datenträgers aufgetragen.In the methods known from the prior art, personalization of a data carrier takes place as a last step in a manufacturing process of e.g. Cards and ID systems. For this purpose, a color is applied to a surface of the data carrier.

Nachteilig an den bekannten Verfahren des Stands der Technik ist, dass damit keine Sicherheitsmerkmale mit einem dreidimensionalen optischen Effekt, wie sie z.B. von optischen Kippbildern bekannt sind, auf einem Datenträger erzeugt werden können.A disadvantage of the known methods of the prior art is that no security features with a three-dimensional optical effect, as they are known for example from optical tilting images, can be generated on a data carrier.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Lösung für die oben genannten Probleme zur Verfügung zu stellen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a solution to the above-mentioned problems.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch den unabhängigen Anspruch gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The object of the invention is achieved by the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe offenbart die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Sicherheitsmerkmals auf einem tragbaren Datenträger, wobei das Sicherheitsmerkmal einen dreidimensionalen optischen Effekt beim Betrachten aufweist, welches sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass zuerst mindestens ein erster Farbstoff auf mindestens eine äußerste Folie des herzustellenden Datenträgers gedruckt wird, wobei durch ein anschließendes Laminieren der äußersten Folie mit mindestens einer weiteren Folie, um den Datenträger herzustellen, der erste Farbstoff verdampft wird und in den Datenträger eindringt und somit das Sicherheitsmerkmal mit einem dreidimensionalen optischen Effekt bildet. Der Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass durch das Eindringen des mindestens einen ersten Farbstoffs in zumindest einen Teil des Datenträgers bzw. dessen Folienschichten ein dreidimensionaler, optischer Effekt beim Betrachten erzeugt wird, welcher ferner eine Passergenauigkeit von 100% zwischen mindestens zwei verschiedenen Farbstoffen aufweist.To achieve the object, the invention discloses a method for producing a security feature on a portable data carrier, wherein the security feature has a three-dimensional optical effect when viewing, which is characterized in that first at least a first dye is printed on at least one outermost film of the data carrier to be produced in that, by subsequently laminating the outermost film with at least one further film to produce the data carrier, the first dye is vaporized and penetrates into the data carrier and thus forms the security feature with a three-dimensional optical effect. The advantage of the invention is that the penetration of the at least one first dye into at least one part of the data carrier or its film layers produces a three-dimensional optical effect when viewed, which also has a register accuracy of 100% between at least two different dyes.

Ein vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass der erste Farbstoff mit mindestens einem zweiten Farbstoff vermischt wird, wobei der zweite Farbstoff nicht in den Datenträger eindringt. Vorteilhaft ist, dass der zweite Farbstoff auf der Oberfläche des Datenträgers nach der Laminierung bleibt und damit einen guten Kontrast zum ersten Farbstoff bildet, welcher in den Datenträger eindringt.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the first dye is mixed with at least one second dye, wherein the second dye does not penetrate into the data carrier. It is advantageous that the second dye remains on the surface of the data carrier after lamination and thus forms a good contrast to the first dye, which penetrates into the data carrier.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass mindestens ein dritter Farbstoff mit dem ersten und/ oder zweiten Farbstoff vermischt wird, wobei der dritte Farbstoff durch das Laminieren des Datenträgers verdampft wird und in den Datenträger eindringt, wobei der dritte Farbstoff eine andere Eindringtiefe und/ oder Eindringgeschwindigkeit als der erste Farbstoff aufweist. Vorteilhaft ist, dass durch die unterschiedlichen Eindringtiefen und Eindringgeschwindigkeiten des ersten und dritten Farbstoffs verlaufsabhängige Farbvariationen erzeugt werden können. Die verlaufsabhängigen Farbvariationen entstehen, indem sich der erste und der dritte Farbstoff beim Laminieren entmischen. Wenn beispielsweise der erste und der dritte Farbstoff in einen lichtdurchlässigen Bereich des Datenträgers eindringen, dann können als zusätzlicher Effekt unterschiedliche Farben bei einer Betrachtung von Vorder- und Rückseite des Datenträgers erkannt werden, so ist z.B. bei Auflicht gelb und blau zu erkennen und bei Durchlicht grün.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that at least a third dye is mixed with the first and / or second dye, wherein the third dye is evaporated by lamination of the data carrier and penetrates into the data carrier, wherein the third dye has a different penetration depth and / or penetration rate as the first dye. It is advantageous that course-dependent color variations can be generated by the different penetration depths and penetration speeds of the first and third dyes. The course-dependent color variations arise when the first and the third dye segregate during lamination. For example, if the first and third colorants enter a translucent area of the data carrier, then as an additional effect, different colors may be detected when viewed from the front and back of the data carrier, e.g. yellow and blue in reflected light and green in transmitted light.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass die Eindringtiefe und Eindringgeschwindigkeit des ersten und des dritten Farbstoffs abhängen von einer Temperatur und einem Druck, welche beim Laminieren des Datenträgers eingesetzt werden, und von einer zeitlichen Dauer des Laminierens und von einer verwendeten Farbstoffmenge. Vorteilhaft ist, dass über verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wie Temperatur, Druck, zeitliche Dauer der Laminierung und Farbstoffmenge bestimmt werden kann, wie z.B. ein gewünschter Kontrast zwischen verschiedenen Farbstoffen des Sicherheitsmerkmals erzeugt werden kann. Desweiteren können z.B. so auch eine Farbintensität eingestellt werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the penetration depth and penetration rate of the first and third dyes depend on a temperature and a pressure used in laminating the data carrier, and a lamination time and amount of dye used. It is advantageous that it is possible to determine various possibilities, such as temperature, pressure, duration of lamination and amount of dye, e.g. a desired contrast between different dyes of the security feature can be generated. Furthermore, e.g. so also a color intensity can be adjusted.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass mindestens ein beim Laminieren verwendetes Laminierblech mindestens eine Richtung vorgibt, in welcher Richtung der erste und/ oder der dritte Farbstoff in den Datenträger eindringen. So ist es z.B. möglich, dass durch eine Oberflächenform des Laminierblechs unterschiedliche oder gleiche Richtungen bestimmt werden. Dies führt z.B. zu Flächen einer Farbe oder einer Mischung aus verschiedenen Farben. Ferner können damit z.B. auch Muster, Bilder, Strukturen, Designs, Symbole, Zeichen, Zahlen oder Buchstaben erzeugt werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that at least one laminating sheet used during lamination comprises at least one Direction dictates in which direction the first and / or the third dye penetrate into the disk. For example, it is possible that different or identical directions are determined by a surface shape of the laminating. For example, this leads to areas of a color or a mixture of different colors. It can also be used to create patterns, images, textures, designs, symbols, characters, numbers or letters.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass als erster und/ oder zweiter und/ oder dritter Farbstoff ein fluoreszierender Farbstoff verwendet wird. Vorteilhaft ist, dass durch einen fluoreszierenden Farbstoff ein zusätzlicher optischer Leuchteffekt erzeugt werden kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that a fluorescent dye is used as the first and / or second and / or third dye. It is advantageous that an additional optical luminous effect can be generated by a fluorescent dye.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass zum Drucken der erste und/ oder der zweite und/ oder der dritte Farbstoff mit einem Bindemittel vermischt werden. Vorteilhaft ist, dass das Bindemittel eine Verwendung von Farbstoffen ermöglicht, die sonst nur für den sogenannten Thermotransferdruck eingesetzt werden können.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that for printing, the first and / or the second and / or the third dye are mixed with a binder. It is advantageous that the binder allows a use of dyes that can otherwise be used only for the so-called thermal transfer printing.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist, dass zum Drucken ein Siebdruckverfahren verwendet wird. Alternativ ist jedes andere geeignete Verfahren möglich.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that a screen printing method is used for printing. Alternatively, any other suitable method is possible.

Im Folgenden werden vorteilhafte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung beschrieben.

  • Figur 1 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch einen Aufbau eines Datenträgers, der nocht nicht laminiert ist.
  • Figur 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch einen Aufbau eines Datenträgers, der laminiert ist.
In the following, advantageous embodiments of the invention will be described.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a structure of a data carrier, which is not yet laminated.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a structure of a data carrier, which is laminated.

In Figur 1 ist ein Querschnitt eines beispielhaften kartenförmigen Datenträgers 2 dargestellt, welcher noch nicht laminiert ist. Der Datenträger 2 umfasst, in seinem Inneren zwei innere Folien 4, wobei alternativ auch nur eine Folie 4 oder auch mehr als zwei innere Folien 4 vorhanden sein können. Mindestens eine der inneren Folien 4 kann lichtdurchlässig und/ oder lichtundurchlässig sein. Auf den Außenseiten des Datenträgers ist jeweils eine Overlayfolie 6, 8 angeordnet. Die Overlayfolie 6, 8 kann ebenfalls lichtdurchlässig und/ oder lichtundurchlässig sein. Ferner können auf mindestens einer Overlayfolie 6, 8 z.B. Personalisierungsinformationen, wie z.B. ein Name eines Benutzers, dessen Foto, Adresse, Geburtsdatum, Versicherungsnummer und gegebenenfalls weitere Informationen angeordnet sein. Ferner kann in dem Datenträger 2 ein Chipmodul mit einer kontaktgebundenen und/ oder kontaktlosen Schnittstelle integriert sein. Auf einer Overlayfolie 6, 8 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Farbe 10 aufgedruckt, welche mindestens einen ersten Farbstoff umfasst, welcher bei der Laminierung der Folien 4, 6, 8 in den Datenträger 2 bzw. in die Folien 4, 6, 8 eindringt. Die Farbe 10 umfasst mindestens einen ersten Farbstoff, welcher in den Datenträger 2 bzw. in die Folien 4, 6, 8 eindringt und mindestens einen Farbstoff, der nicht in den Datenträger bzw. die Folien 4, 6, 8 eindringt. Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Farbe mindestens einen dritten Farbstoff umfasst, der ebenfalls in den Datenträger 2 bzw. in die Folien 4, 6, 8 eindringt. Der erste und der dritte Farbstoff unterscheiden sich durch unterschiedliche Eindringtiefen und Eindringgeschwindigkeiten in den Datenträger 2 bzw. in die Folien 4, 6, 8. Damit können z.B. verlaufsabhängige Farbvariationen hergestellt werden, da sich z.B. der erste und der dritte Farbstoff beim Laminieren entmischen und dann unterschiedlich schnell und tief in den Datenträger 2 bzw. in die Folien 4, 6, 8 eindringen.In FIG. 1 Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an exemplary card-shaped data carrier 2 which has not yet been laminated. The data carrier 2 comprises, in its interior two inner foils 4, wherein alternatively also only one foil 4 or also more than two inner foils 4 can be present. At least one of the inner foils 4 may be translucent and / or opaque. On the outer sides of the data carrier in each case an overlay film 6, 8 is arranged. The overlay film 6, 8 may also be translucent and / or opaque. Further, on at least one overlay film 6, 8, for example, personalization information, such as a name of a user, his photo, address, date of birth, insurance number and possibly further information may be arranged. Furthermore, in the data carrier 2, a chip module can be integrated with a contact-bound and / or contactless interface. On an overlay film 6, 8, a color 10 according to the invention is printed, which comprises at least one first dye, which penetrates during the lamination of the films 4, 6, 8 in the disk 2 and in the films 4, 6, 8. The ink 10 comprises at least a first dye which penetrates into the data carrier 2 or into the films 4, 6, 8 and at least one dye which does not penetrate into the data carrier or the films 4, 6, 8. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the ink comprises at least one third dye, which also penetrates into the data carrier 2 or into the foils 4, 6, 8. The first and the third dye differ by different penetration depths and penetration speeds in the data carrier 2 or in the films 4, 6, 8. Thus, for example, gradient-dependent color variations can be produced, since, for example, the first and the third dye segregate during lamination and then differently penetrate quickly and deeply into the data carrier 2 or into the foils 4, 6, 8.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt des Datenträgers 2 nach dem Laminieren. Mittels der Wärme des Laminierens ist die Farbe 10 hier beispielsweise nur in die Overlayfolie 6 eingedrungen und hat ein Sicherheitsmerkmal 12 mit einem dreidimensionalen optischen Effekt gebildet. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass die Farbe 10 die Folien 4 und auch die Folie 8 durchdringt. Wie tief die Farbe 10 in den Datenträger 2 bzw. in die Folien 4,6,8 eindringt, hängt immer ab von dem gewünschten Ergebnis eines zu erzielenden Sicherheitsmerkmals 12 mit einem dreidimensionalen optischen Effekt. Die Eindringtiefe wird beispielsweise beim Laminieren bestimmt durch die Temperatur und den Druck beim Laminieren, die zeitliche Dauer des Laminierens und von der verwendeten Farbstoffmenge. FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the data carrier 2 after lamination. By means of the heat of the lamination, the ink 10 has penetrated here, for example, only in the overlay film 6 and has formed a security feature 12 with a three-dimensional optical effect. However, it is also possible that the color 10 penetrates the foils 4 and also the foil 8. How deep the ink 10 penetrates into the data carrier 2 or into the foils 4, 6, 8 always depends on the desired result of a security feature 12 to be achieved with a three-dimensional optical effect. The penetration depth is determined for example during lamination by the temperature and the pressure during lamination, the duration of the lamination and the amount of dye used.
