Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of secure documents and relates more particularly to the securing of identity documents by means of a pattern printed on the document, for example a guilloche.

  • the arrangement of the lines of the guilloche as defined above advantageously makes it possible to improve the quality of an image revealed in the arrangement of pixels using the opacified regions. Thanks to the invention, the lines of the guilloche no longer conventionally cross the lines of pixels on the identity document but extend at least part of these lines.
  • the sub-pixel lines can also play the role of guilloche lines in addition to their primary function, namely the formation of an image on the body of the identity document.
  • the present invention therefore has the advantage in that it makes it possible to improve the security of identity documents. Indeed, as explained in more detail later, in the event that a malicious person would attempt to falsify such an identity document by replacing the image formed by the matrix of pixels with another image, it would be excessively difficult for him to make the end of the guilloche lines present on the rest of the document with the pixel lines of the new image (assuming that this new image contains such subpixel lines). If this new image does not contain such lines of subpixels, then identifying the fake would be even easier.

  • the application of the laser beam 24 causes the formation of non-reflecting surfaces below certain sub-pixels of the matrix 18 and thus makes it possible to produce the gray levels of a personalized image.
  • the application of the laser beam 24 can cause the formation of opaque surfaces above certain sub-pixels of the matrix 18 (in the layer 16 when the latter is laserable for example) and contributes to producing the levels of gray from the custom image.

    wobei sich mindestens eine Zeile von Guillochen (GL1), die erste Zeile, in der Verlängerung von einer Zeile von Unterpixeln (LN2), der zweiten Zeile, die zu der Anordnung (19) von Pixeln gehört, derart erstreckt, um zusammen ein und dieselbe Zeile zu bilden.
  2. Dokument nach Anspruch 1, wobei jede erste Zeile eine jeweilige zweite Zeile von Unterpixeln kontinuierlich oder diskontinuierlich verlängert, wobei jede erste Zeile und jede zweite Zeile eine geradlinige oder gekrümmte Zeile ist.
  3. Dokument nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, wobei jede Verlängerung paarweise zwischen einer ersten Zeile von Guillochen (GL1) und einer speziellen zweiten Zeile (LN2) der Anordnung von Pixeln ausgebildet ist.
  4. Dokument nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 3, wobei jede erste Zeile gegenüberliegend von der jeweiligen zweiten Zeile derart angeordnet ist, dass keine von diesen beiden Zeilen die andere durchquert.
  5. Dokument nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 4, wobei jede erste Zeile (GL1) gegenüberliegend von der jeweiligen zweiten Zeile in einer der folgenden Konfigurationen angeordnet ist:
    a) ein erstes Ende (GL1a) der ersten Zeile (GL1) und ein zweites Ende (LN2a) der zweiten Zeile (LN2) sind benachbart zueinander angeordnet,

  6. Dokument nach Anspruch 5, wobei in dem Fall der Konfiguration a) ein erster Endabschnitt (GL1b) der ersten Zeile (GL1) in das erste Ende (GL1a) mündet und ein zweiter Endabschnitt (LN2b) der zweiten Zeile (LN2) in das zweite Ende (LN2a) mündet:
    - indem sie sich in einer gleichen Richtung derart erstrecken, um eine geradlinige oder gekrümmte Verbindung zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Zeile zu bilden, oder
    - indem sie sich in verschiedenen Richtungen derart erstrecken, um einen Winkel (α) an der Verbindung zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Zeile zu bilden.
  7. Dokument nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 6, wobei jede erste Zeile (GL1, GL2) und jede zweite Zeile (LN) geradlinig sind und paarweise zusammenlaufen.
  8. Dokument nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 7, wobei die Anordnung (19) von Pixeln auf der transparenten Schicht (14, 16) gedruckt ist.
  9. Dokument nach Anspruch 8, wobei die Anordnung von Pixeln und die Guillochen auf einer gleichen Seite der transparenten Schicht (14, 16) gedruckt sind.
  10. Dokument nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 9, wobei jedes Pixel (20) der Anordnung (1ç) mindestens ein erstes Unterpixel (PX1) in einer ersten Farbe (CR1) und ein zweites Unterpixel (PX2) in einer zweiten Farbe (CR2) aufweist, die von der ersten Farbe verschieden ist, wobei die Unterpixel so angeordnet sind, dass sie mindestens eine Zeile (LN1) von ersten Unterpixeln in der ersten Farbe (CR1) und mindestens eine Zeile (LN2) von zweiten Unterpixeln in der zweiten Farbe (CR2) bilden.
  11. Dokument nach Anspruch 10, wobei mindestens eine zweite Zeile durch eine Zeile von ersten Unterpixeln in der ersten Farbe gebildet ist, wobei die erste entsprechende Zeile der Guilloche in der ersten Farbe gebildet ist.
