Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element for producing value documents, such as banknotes, checks or the like, which has a line grid structure.
- Safety elements with periodic line gratings are known, for example from DE 102009012299 A1, DE 102009012300 A1 or DE
- a line grating with subwavelength structures which has angle-dependent, color-filtering properties.
- the line grid has a rectangular profile made of a dielectric material.
- the horizontal surfaces are covered with a high refractive dielectric.
- this structure is also a dielectric material, wherein preferably the refractive indices of the grating substrate and the cover material are identical.
- an optically active structure is formed, which consists of two gratings of the high refractive index material, which are spaced apart by the height of the original rectangular profile.
- grid lattice webs are made of zinc sulfide (ZnS).
- One-dimensional periodic gratings can have color filter properties in the sub-wavelength range if the grating profile is designed so that resonance effects occur in the visible wavelength range. These color filter properties depend on the angle of the incident light.
- DE 3248899 C2 describes a sub-wavelength structure which has angle-dependent color-filtering properties.
- This grid has a rectangular shape in cross-section and is equipped with a high refractive index (HRI)
- the security element marketed under the name DID is based on this structure and uses the color filter properties in reflection: a light-absorbing background is required in order to perceive a color effect WO 2012/019226 A1 also describes embossed sub-wavelength gratings with a color effect Rectangular profile, on the plateaus of which metal particles or metallic nanoparticles are imprinted, showing lattice and polarization effects in transmission. Furthermore, subwavelength gratings are known as angle-dependent color filters which have a metallic or semi-metallic bi-layer arrangement, eg from DE 102011115589 A1 or Z.
- a sub-wavelength structure with an approximately 70 nm ZnS coating is known. These structures are only suitable as a color filter in reflection. Therefore, the structure must additionally be applied to a light-absorbing substrate in order to achieve a sufficient color contrast, which is then visible in reflection.
- Sub-wave gratings with metallic coatings show a relatively high color saturation in transmission. Due to the light absorption in the metal, they therefore appear relatively dark.
- Sinusoidal grids coated with a thin metal film can cause plasmonic resonance effects. These resonances lead to increased transmission in TM polarization, cf. Y. Jorlin et al., "Spatially and polarized resolved plasmon mediated transmission through continuous metal films"; Opt. Express 17, 12155-12166 (2009).
- a security element for the production of documents of value comprising: a dielectric substrate, a first grid structure embedded in the substrate, of a plurality of first grid webs of high refractive index running along a longitudinal direction and arranged in a first plane , dielectric or semi-metallic material and a second line grid structure embedded in the substrate of longitudinally extending second grid bars of high refractive dielectric or semimetallic material located above the first line grid structure in a second plane with respect to the first plane, the first grid bars respectively have a first thickness and a first width and are juxtaposed at a distance, so that between the first grid webs along the longitudinal direction extending first grid column with the distance corresponding width g are formed, the second line grid structure is inverted to the first line grid structure, wherein in plan view of the first Level, the second grid
- a double line grid which consists of two levels superimposed, complementary to each other, i. consists of mutually displaced line grid structures.
- a phase shift of 90 ° is the ideal value, which of course can be seen in the context of manufacturing accuracy.
- phase shift arise here, because usually a rectangular profile is not perfect, but can be approximated only by a trapezoidal profile whose upper parallel edge is shorter than the lower.
- the phase shift corresponds to half a period.
- the line grid structures are of high refractive, dielectric or semi-metallic material.
- the thickness of the grid webs is optionally less than the modulation depth, that is, the spacing of the grid planes of the line grid structures. But it can also be larger, so that forms a closed film. Then the distance between the first and second plane is less than the sum of (0.5 * first layer thickness) and (0.5 * second layer thickness). It was found that, despite the increased layer thickness, such a grid, surprisingly, provides reproducible and easily perceptible color effects during tilting in transmission analysis.
- the security element can be easily manufactured by a layer construction by first providing a base layer on which the first line grid structure is formed.
- a dielectric intermediate layer is applied which covers the first line grid structure and is optionally thicker than the grid bars of the first line grid structure.
- the displaced second line grid structure can then be formed thereon, and a dielectric cover layer forms the termination of the substrate embedding the line grid structure.
- a sub-waveguide having a rectangular profile in cross-section can first be formed in the dielectric substrate as well. If this is vaporized vertically with the high-index material, a layer is formed on the plateaus and in the trenches, which form the first and second lattice webs. You have the desired first and second grid bars in different levels. They are contiguous when the thickness of the grid webs is greater than the modulation depth of the rectangular profile of the previously structured dielectric substrate.
- the vertical distance between the first and the second lattice webs ie the modulation depth of the structure
- the two planes are used, which can be defined, for example, by areas of the first and second line grid structures that correspond to one another, ie, for example, from the underside of the grid bars or the top side of the grid bars.
- the vertical distance is of course perpendicular to the parallel To measure level, so called the height difference between rectified surfaces of the grid bars.
- all materials can be considered that are opposite to the surrounding substrate, i. Material, have a higher refractive index, in particular by at least 0.3 higher.
- the security element with the double line grid shows an angle-dependent color filtering during transmission observation. This angular dependency is particularly striking when the grid lines are perpendicular to the light incidence plane.
- the color filter can be used to make motifs multicolored so that they change their color with the twisted position or show different effects when tilting the plane. It is therefore preferred that in plan view of the plane at least two areas are provided whose longitudinal directions of the line grid structures are at an angle to one another, in particular at right angles. When viewed vertically, such a motif can be designed so that it has a uniform color and no other structure when viewed vertically. If you tilt this element now, the color of one area, for example the background, changes differently than the color of the other area, for example a motif.

- FIG. 13 representations similar to Fig. 10a-b with the difference that the individual areas are filled with gratings of different periods.
- FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a security element S, which has a double line grid embedded in a substrate 1, consisting of two line grid structures 2, 6.
- the first line grid structure 2 is incorporated, which is arranged in a plane LI.
- the first line Terpatented 2 consists of first grid bars 9 with the width a, which extend along a direction perpendicular to the plane longitudinal direction. Between the first grid bars 3 there are first grid gaps 4, which have a width b.
- the thickness of the first grid bars 3 (measured perpendicular to the plane L) is indicated by tl.
- the second line lattice structure 6 with second lattice webs 7 of the thickness t2 is located in a plane L2.
- the second line grating structure 6 is phase-shifted in the plane L2 relative to the first line grating structure 2 in such a way that the second grate webs 7 come to rest as precisely as possible (within the manufacturing accuracy) over the first grating gaps 4.
- second grid gaps 8, which exist between the second grid bars 7, lie over the first grid bars 3.
- the thickness t 1 in the embodiment of FIG. 1 is smaller than the height h, so that no continuous film of the grid bars 3 and 7 is formed.
- 1 in FIG. 1 is the modulation depth h, ie the height difference between the first line grating structure 2 and the second line grating structure 6 (corresponding to the distance of the planes Ll and L2) is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the first grid bars 3 and the second grid bars 7, so that a vertical separation between the two line grid structures 2 and 6 is given.
- Fig. 2 thus results in a coherent film of the grid bars 3 and 7. That is a first type.
- the grating in Fig. 1 has a modulation depth which is greater than the wire height tl.
- This grid can be considered as an arrangement of two wire meshes, which have the same profile and are at a distance h - tl from each other.
- the structure of Fig. 2, on the other hand, has a modulation depth which is smaller than the thickness t1. Therefore, the high refractive structure is spatially coherent there. This is a second type.
- the grid bars 3, 7 are in all embodiments of a high-refractive, dielectric or semi-metallic material.
- the high-index material has the refractive index n 2 and is surrounded by dielectrics. In practice, these refractive indices of the surrounding material hardly differ and are approximately ni.
- the refractive index n 2 of the high refractive index material is above that of the surrounding material, eg at least 0.3 absolute.
- the security element S of FIG. 1 reflects incident radiation E as reflected radiation R. Further, a radiation component is transmitted as
- the reflection and transmission properties depend on the angle of incidence ⁇ , as will be explained below.
- the production of the security element S can take place, for example, by first applying the first line grid structure 2 and then an intermediate layer 5 to a base layer 9.
- the second line grid structure with the second grid webs 7 can then be introduced into the grid column 4 depicted at the top.
- a cover layer 10 covers the security element.
- the dimensions b, a and t are in the sub-wavelength range, ie smaller than 300 nm.
- the modulation depth is preferably between 100 nm and 500 nm.
- a production method is also possible in which first a rectangular grid is produced on an upper side of the substrate 1.
- the substrate 1 is thus structured such that trenches of the width a alternate with webs of the width b.
- the patterned substrate is then vapor-deposited with the desired coating to form the first and second line grids and the first and second line grating structures. After evaporation, the structure is finally covered with a cover layer. This gives a layer structure in which the top and bottom have substantially the same refractive index.
- the structured substrate can be obtained in various ways.
- One option is the reproduction with a master.
- the master can now be replicated in UV varnish on foil, eg PET foil.
- hot embossing The master, or even the substrate itself, can be fabricated using an e-beam, focused ion beam, or interference lithography, writing the structure into a photoresist and then developing it.
- the structure of a photolithographically produced master can be etched in a subsequent step into a quartz substrate in order to form as vertical as possible edges of the profile.
- the quartz wafer then serves as a preform and may e.g. be copied in Ormocer or duplicated by galvanic impression.
- a direct impression of the photolithographically produced original in Ormocer or in nickel in a galvanic process is possible.
- a motif with different lattice structures can be assembled in a nanoimprint process starting from a homogeneous lattice master.
- the incident light is unpolarized.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show on the y-axis the reflection as a function of the wavelength plotted on the x-axis for different angles of incidence, namely 0 °, 15 °, 30 ° and 45 °.
- Fig. 3b shows analog transmission.
- the angle of incidence ⁇ is defined in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the spectral reflectance shows sharp peaks, which essentially reside as dips in the transmission spectra.
- three peaks or dips in the range of about 550 nm to 650 nm can be seen.
- For increasingly oblique angles of incidence separate these resonances.
- One part is moved to the long-wave part, another part to the short-wave part. This shift can be approximated from the grid equation and results in the resonance wavelength ⁇ r
- the optical interaction of this lattice can be described as so-called "guided mode resonance.”
- the lattice acts as a light coupler and as a waveguide at the same time. These arrangements show electromagnetic resonances that manifest themselves as sharp peaks or dips in the spectra.
- FIGS. 4a and b The spectra for a security element of the second type (FIG. 2), that is to say with a contiguous, high-index region, are shown in FIGS. 4a and b.
- the spectra show qualitatively a similar pattern as in FIG. 3.
- the resonance at ⁇ 620 nm, however, is much more pronounced.
- the spectral absorption for this grating is shown in FIG. Here is a strong absorption in the UV and in the blue due to the relatively high k value of ZnS can be seen. It also shows that the resonances produce sharp absorption peaks even in the long-wave range.
- h 210 nm
- the absorption effect of the semi-metallic ZnS (see FIG. 5) promotes the sparkleness of the gratings described here in transmission.
- a purely dielectric coating without absorption would lead to a lower color saturation, but would also be possible.
- Fig. 7 shows this effect in the CIE 1931 color space.
- the white point is labeled "WP.”
- the triangle delimits the color range, which can usually be represented by screens.
- the graph shows the x, y color coordinates as trajectories.
- the color properties of the reflection are shown in Fig. 7a and the color diagram of the transmission is shown in Fig. 7b
- a security feature can be formed so that a subject M in transmitted light viewing is not visible and it appears only when tilted. This can be done by two regions 14, 15 are arranged with the same grid profile rotated by 90 ° to each other. This arrangement is shown in FIG.
- the grid lines of the area 14 forming the background run vertically, while the grid lines in the area 15 forming the motif M are horizontal. If now the security element is tilted about the horizontal axis, the motif M appears. There are also other orientations of regions. conceivable. By finely graduated oriented areas, for example, running effects in transmission can be generated. Here reference is made by way of example to DE 102011115589 AI. Now it is also possible to design motifs through areas with different profiles of the grid.
- the optical properties of gratings of different period show that embodiments with ZnS coated gratings with the periods 420 nm, 340 nm, and 280 nm reflect the base colors red, green, blue (RGB) in transmittance at the tilted viewing angle.
- RGB red, green, blue
- the chroma clearly increases with increasing thickness t> 100 nm. An optimum lies at about te200 nm.
- these properties are used to create colored motifs by arranging the security elements described above with different grating periods in the range.
- Fig. 13 shows schematically a security element S with a motif M, which consists of three colors. These three areas are occupied by gratings of different periods. Their grid lines are oriented horizontally. When viewed vertically, the grids show a slight color contrast. The subject is only weakly recognizable. When tilted about the horizontal axis, the motif appears in the three colors in strong hue.
- the security element can serve as a see-through window of banknotes. It can also be partially overprinted in color.
- the high-index coating can also be partially removed, for example, by laser irradiation with ultrashort pulses.
- a combination with high refractive transparent holograms is possible. Such holograms can also act as reflection features. A part of the subwavelength grating may be on an absorbing background, so that this part now serves as a reflective feature and forms a contrast to the other part of the grating which lies in the region of the see-through window.
- the security element gratings with the corresponding profile parameters can reproduce the basic colors RGB in transmission at an oblique angle of incidence. When viewed vertically, however, the color saturation is weak. In reflection, the lattice structure appears almost in the complementary colors to the transmission.
- true color images can be generated by subwavelength gratings.
- the individual image pixels are defined by subpixels corresponding to the base colors, e.g. RGB colors, correspond, reproduced. Grids with the corresponding grid profile produce the desired color in the individual areas. Their area proportions are chosen so that a viewer perceives each pixel as a mixed color of the subpixel areas.
- This method can also be used for the gratings described here, so that a true color image can be seen in oblique viewing in transmission, which almost disappears when viewed perpendicularly.
- the security element can serve in particular as a see-through window of banknotes or other documents. It can also be partially overprinted in color or the grid areas can be partially demetallized be designed or without line grid, so that such an area is completely metallized. Combinations with diffractive grating structures, such as holograms, are also conceivable.
