- Security elements with viewing-angle-dependent effects play a special role in the authentication of authenticity since they can not be reproduced even with the most modern copiers.
- the security elements are thereby equipped with optically variable elements that give the viewer a different image impression under different viewing angles and, for example, show a different color or brightness impression and / or another graphic motif depending on the viewing angle.
- color shift effect in such thin-film elements is based on viewing angle-dependent interference effects due to multiple reflections in the different sub-layers of the element.
- the path difference of the light reflected at the different layers depends on the one hand on the optical thickness of a dielectric spacer layer, which determines the distance between a semi-transparent absorber layer and a reflective layer, and on the other hand varies with the respective viewing angle. Since the path difference is on the order of the wavelength of the visible light, the result is an angle-dependent color impression for the viewer due to the extinction and amplification of certain wavelengths.
- a suitable choice of material and thickness of the dielectric spacer layer a variety of different color shift effects can be designed.

- the in the FIG. 12 shown banknote 1 shows in the case that in the FIG. 8 shown security element 14 is applied by means of the adhesive layer 12 on the front of the banknote 1, the advantage that the sensitive, printing technology obtained reflection layer 10 and the colored thin-film element 9 are protected both by the carrier 5, and by the banknote substrate of the banknote 1.
- the production of the reflection layer 10 by means of printing allows a very register-accurate arrangement. Accordingly, design variants can be implemented, in which, for example, in the FIG. 8 shown reflection layer 10 is in the form of a filigree font or a filigree pattern.
- FIGS. 9 to 11 show the production of a security element according to the invention according to a third embodiment.
- the relief structure (ie the surface) of the embossing lacquer 6 has, for example, a microstructure.
- the embossing lacquer 6 is printed in a certain area with a specific ink, on the one hand from the WO 2005/051675 A2 known platelet-shaped metal pigments (in particular Al pigments) and on the other hand contains organic dyes in the form of a mixture.
- a specific ink on the one hand from the WO 2005/051675 A2 known platelet-shaped metal pigments (in particular Al pigments) and on the other hand contains organic dyes in the form of a mixture.
- the reflection layer 15a in the present case a "silver" mirror layer 15a
- a color layer 15b containing the organic dyes is formed in the form of an upper part-layer.
- the resulting layer structure is provided with a transparent intermediate layer or primer layer 11 (eg a transparent UV lacquer) and with a transparent adhesive layer 12 (eg a heat-seal adhesive).
- a transparent intermediate layer or primer layer 11 eg a transparent UV lacquer
- a transparent adhesive layer 12 eg a heat-seal adhesive
- the in the FIG. 12 shown banknote 1 shows in the case that in the FIG. 11 shown security element 16 is applied by means of the adhesive layer 12 on the front of the banknote 1, the advantage that the sensitive, printing technology obtained double layer 15 are protected both by the carrier 5, as well as by the banknote substrate of the banknote 1.
- the production of the double layer 15 by means of printing allows a very register-accurate arrangement. Accordingly, design variants can be implemented in which, for example, the double layer 15 are produced in the form of a filigree font or a filigree pattern.
- the in the FIGS. 7 and 8th shown security elements 13 and 14 to the effect that instead of the multi-layer thin-film element 9 with color shift effect (with semitransparent absorber layer (eg Cr), dielectric spacer layer (eg SiO 2 ) and reflection layer (eg Al)) the semitransparent thin-film element described in the foregoing description is used, which gives a viewer a different color impression when viewed in reflected light and when viewed in transmitted light, for example a thin-film element which has two semitransparent mirror layers and a dielectric spacer layer arranged between the two mirror layers.
- a thin-film element which appears golden in reflected light and blue in transmitted light, is in the WO 2011/082761 A1 described.
- Exemplary layer arrangements are, as earlier mentioned in the description: 5 to 15 nm Al / 85 to 250 nm SiO 2/5 to 15 nm Al, especially 5 to 15 nm Al / 85 and 125 nm SiO 2/5 to 15 nm Al ; or 15 to 25 nm Ag / 80 to 105 nm SiO 2/15 to 25 nm Ag;
- FIGS. 7 and 8th shown security elements 13 and 14 varies in that instead of the "silver" reflection layer 10, the double layer 15 of FIG. 11 is used. Accordingly, to produce the reflection layer 10 in the FIGS. 7 and 8th an ink used on the one hand from the WO 2005/051675 A2 known platelet-shaped metal pigments (in particular Al pigments) and on the other hand contains organic dyes in the form of a mixture.
- platelet-shaped metal pigments used in the first to seventh embodiments which from the WO 2005/051675 A2 are known
- platelet-shaped metal pigments used as in the writings WO 2013/186167 A2 .
- WO 2010/069823 A1 and WO 2011/064162 A2 are described.
- An ink based on the in the WO 2011/064162 A2 For example, described effect pigment compositions leads to the production of metallic layers with color shift effect, see also the preceding description.
- color layer 15b instead of the organic dyes also suitable inorganic colored pigments are used.
- the invention is not limited to patch-shaped security elements and banknotes, but can be used in all types of security elements, such as security labels, strips and threads on goods and packaging or in the security of documents, ID cards, passports, credit cards, health cards and the like.
