Description

Document, method for producing a document and a

Device for carrying out a method

The invention relates to a document, a method for producing a document and an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Documents, especially security documents, are common in many sectors of the public, government and private sectors. Documents such as banknotes, passports, ID cards, check cards, credit cards, visas or certificates often have window areas in which security elements are arranged, which can be viewed in reflected light and / or transmitted light, in order to increase counterfeit protection. For the production of such

Window areas are first introduced into the carrier substrate typically by punching perforations, which are then covered by means of a corresponding security elements having foil. As an alternative to introducing the apertures by means of punching, cutting methods such as water-jet cutting are also used. All known methods for producing the window areas is common in that the removed part of the carrier substrate of the Window area forms as the remainder or waste remains. This not only creates waste, but this often has to be collected and disposed of consuming, since in particular for substrates from the security area corresponding requirements exist, which disposal without

reusable residues, such as burning, order.

Thus, DE 43 34 847 A1 discloses the production of an opening by means of punching or cutting process in a value document, wherein as

Cutting process, for example, the laser cutting can be used.

EP 2 533 982 B1 describes a security element for a document of value, which comprises a series of openings, the arrangement of the openings forming a data element. The openings are thereby by a

Laser perforation generated.

The invention is now based on the object to provide an improved document and an improved method for producing a document.

This object is achieved by a document, in particular a banknote, a document of identification, a visa or a security, comprising a carrier substrate and a decorative layer, wherein the single-layered or multi-layered

Carrier substrate has a top and a bottom and the decorative layer is applied to the top of the carrier substrate, and wherein at least one layer of the carrier substrate in one or more first areas by means of a laser is broken such that the decorative layer in the one or more first areas when viewed the document from the bottom the carrier substrate forth is visible. This object is further achieved by a method for producing a document, in particular according to one of claims 1 to 25, comprising a carrier substrate having a top side and a bottom side, the method comprising the following steps, which are carried out in particular in the following order: a ) Providing the carrier substrate; b) applying a decorative layer, in particular by means of

Hot stamping, cold stamping or laminating, on top of the

Carrier substrate; c) breaking through at least one layer of the carrier substrate in one or more first regions by means of a laser such that the applied decorative layer is visible in the one or more first regions when viewing the document from the underside of the carrier substrate. Further, this object is achieved by an apparatus for performing a method according to any one of claims 25 to 42, comprising: - a transport device for transporting the

Carrier substrate; a first application device for the application of

Decor layer on the single or multilayer carrier substrate; a first unit comprising a laser for breaking at least one layer of the carrier substrate, in particular in one or more first regions. The steps of the process are preferably carried out in the order a), b), c) or a), c), b). In particular, the steps of the process are carried out in any order, wherein one or more of steps c), a), b) are particularly preferably not carried out, for example in the order a), c), c), and / or in particular preferably be carried out several times, such as in the order a), b), b), c), c).

The carrier substrate may be formed as a single layer or as a multilayer. It has been shown that the document according to the invention, the method for producing a document and the device for carrying out the method, a new and improved type of

Openings are produced or provided in carrier substrates.

The fact that the decorative layer is visible in the perforated regions from the rear side of the carrier substrate, results in a

Observers due to the high contrast between the preferably matte and light-formed carrier substrate and the visible through the openings decorative layer particularly memorable optical impressions and effects. Furthermore, the document makes it possible for features present in the decorative layer, in particular existing, roughly pre-structured features, to emerge particularly succinctly due to the design of the perforated regions. Furthermore, the method makes it possible to introduce the apertures into the carrier substrate after application of the decorative layer. This makes it possible to introduce closed outer contours without the perforated area falling off or falling out, since the decorative layer fixes them. As a result, on the one hand waste is avoided and on the other hand thereby novel openings or window areas are made possible. Furthermore, the applied decorative layer overall has a stabilizing effect, in particular for breaking through the subsequent application of the decorative layer

Carrier substrate.

The term document also includes uses of the carrier substrate as packaging, part of a package, labels or other uses in which an education of

Breakthroughs are useful and useful. The carrier substrate can therefore be a packaging, part of a packaging, a carrier layer or another layer a label or a layer of a mark, a banderole or the like. In particular, such a label, brand, band can then be applied to a further substrate, for example as a tax stamp,

Tax stamp, seal, token, license plate.

The terms top side and / or bottom serve in particular to distinguish the surfaces of the carrier substrate and provide

However, it is also possible to use the terms first page and second page instead of these reference designations.

In this case, a defined area of a layer or layer, which when viewed perpendicular to one of the

Carrier substrate clamped plane is taken. So points

For example, the carrier substrate on one or more first areas, each of the areas each occupy a defined area when viewed perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate level.

Breaking through a layer means in this case the complete removal of a layer, in particular by means of laser cutting and / or laser ablation. For example, if a layer is broken in a region, the corresponding layer is completely removed in this region. In this case, the perforation preferably takes place due to laser cutting and / or laser ablation, so that the perforated layers are removed without residue in the corresponding regions and / or ablated and / or burned and / or vaporized. For example, the at least one layer in the one or more first regions,

in particular by means of laser cutting and / or laser ablation, completely removed, so that the at least one layer is removed without residue in the one or more first areas.

Preferably, one or more of the first and / or second

Areas immediately following or in a further step not completely removed or broken, so that an engraving or a kind of engraving is formed in the carrier substrate, which can be combined with the remaining design of the carrier substrate. Due to this breakthrough or complete removal of the

corresponding layers, it is possible that no residue or waste remains, since the broken or completely removed areas rather ablated and / or burned and / or evaporated due to the residue-free laser. As a result, on the one hand, no waste already falls and, on the other hand, its expensive disposal with the associated expenditure of corresponding logging and safeguarding is avoided, as a result of which the production costs can be reduced. In addition, due to this opening or complete removal, in particular, no residues or burrs of the carrier substrate remain, which are further below

Processing process, especially due to the typically high

Running speed of the carrier substrate during processing, can lead to problems such as impurities. This reduces the rejects.

In particular, during laser printing on paper substrates, local combustion processes occur at the location of the action of the laser energy. It is advantageous to quickly and completely evacuate the resulting gaseous and / or dust-like flue gases with at least one suction device and / or with at least one Blow blower device away to prevent it from getting on the

Carrier substrate soils, such as soot through them

Depositing flue gases and occur adversely in possible subsequent steps.

Preferably, the extraction of the flue gases takes place in a chamber in which the laser is also carried out. In particular, a plurality of chambers are interconnected, wherein in one or more of the connected chambers

Laser treatments take place. The chamber or one or more or all of the connected chambers are preferably self-contained, with preferably no exchange of air and / or gases taking place between the chamber (s) and the outside world. The chamber has in particular at least one viewing window. In the chamber, the suction is preferably targeted, so that no very large suction powers are required. Furthermore, with a suction within the chamber, the risk is reduced that foreign bodies of different sizes are sucked during the suction, which in particular hinder the laser and / or other process steps. Under visible here is understood that the decorative layer for a

Viewer viewing the document by the unarmed

human eye, in particular by a sensor or a sensor unit upon detection of the document, is recognizable from the underside of the carrier substrate ago.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the

Subclaims. It is advantageous if the decorative layer in the one or more first

At least on the side facing the carrier substrate and / or also on the side facing away from the carrier substrate for a viewer perceivable optical effects, in particular optically variable effects, defined and / or predetermined, which in viewing the document of the

Underside of the carrier substrate are visible forth. The decorative layer thus defines by its configuration the visible in the exposed one or more first areas of the underside of the carrier substrate for a viewer optical effects. In the non-exposed areas of the carrier substrate facing side of the decorative layer, the optical effects are covered by the carrier substrate and are therefore not or only slightly optically effective.

Preferably, the top sides and / or the bottom side of the carrier substrate each provide one or more optically and / or optically variable effects detectable to a viewer or a sensor or a sensor unit, wherein one or more of the optically variable effects provide different colors, and wherein, in particular, at least one of the optical or optical variable effects is provided in the at least one exposed first region.

For example, when viewing the document, an observer can detect a surprising two- or more-color optical effect, the top side of the carrier substrate having a colored optical effect in a first color, for example blue, and a further optical effect in a second color on the underside of the carrier substrate , for example, green, and wherein the further optical effect without the exposed first area or the exposed first areas for the observer would not be detectable. The carrier substrate is expediently a paper substrate, in particular a single-layered paper substrate. It is also possible that the carrier substrate is cotton fibers, wood fibers, pulp fibers, textile fibers and / or

Plastic fibers includes. Such carrier substrates can by means of a laser, in particular by local combustion or evaporation,

be removed without residue.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the carrier substrate to comprise one or more, in particular transparent, plastic layers which are arranged on the top side and / or bottom side of the carrier substrate, wherein in particular at least the one or more, in particular transparent, plastic arranged on the underside of the carrier substrate were broken in the one or more first areas by means of the laser. This ensures that the decorative layer in the one or more first

Areas when viewing the document from the bottom of the

Carrier substrate is visible forth.

It is advantageous if the plastic layers cover a larger area than the decorative layer and the decorative layer overlap and / or overhang. If the decorative layer is executed in strip form, it is advantageous if the

Plastic covered the decorative layer on both sides. Is the

Decor layer executed in patch form, it is advantageous if the plastic layers overhang the decorative layer on all sides. It is also advantageous if the plastic layers completely cover one or more first and / or second and / or third regions and / or project beyond the one or more first and / or second and / or third regions on all sides. Thus, it is also possible that the method further comprises the following step, which is carried out in particular before step b) and / or c): application of one or more, in particular transparent,

Plastic layers, which are applied in particular on the top and / or bottom of the carrier substrate. As a result, the one or more first regions in which the at least one layer of the

Carrier substrate is broken, be closed, so that

For example, no contaminants can penetrate into the exposed areas.

Advantageously, the carrier substrate is a multilayer hybrid substrate which has one or more paper layers and one or more plastic layers, wherein in particular the one or more paper layers in the one or more first regions are perforated by means of the laser.

This makes it possible for the decorative layer to be visible in the one or more first regions when the document is viewed from the underside of the carrier substrate.

It is also possible that the carrier substrate is a multilayer

Polymer substrate is, which has a transparent plastic layer and one or more opaque layers, in particular, the one or more opaque layers are broken in the one or more first areas by means of the laser. This also makes it possible that the

Decor layer is visible in the one or more first areas when viewing the document from the underside of the carrier substrate ago.

Preferably, the carrier substrate has a layer thickness between 30 μιτι and 250 μιτι, preferably between 50 μιτι and 100 μιτι, on. Such layer thicknesses can be broken well by means of a laser, so that on the one hand a residue-free removal and on the other hand filigree perforations are guaranteed. It is advantageous if the carrier substrate additives, in particular

Security fibers and / or security pigments and / or dyes comprises.

It is also possible for at least one layer of the carrier substrate to be interrupted in one or more second regions by means of the laser in such a way that the decorative layer is present in the one or more second regions

Viewing the document is visible from the underside of the carrier substrate, in particular wherein the one or more second regions having a different pattern to the one or more first regions and / or a different contour and / or a different coding.

Thus, it is also possible that the method further comprises the following step, which is carried out in particular before step b): d) breaking at least one layer of the carrier substrate in one or more second areas by means of a laser such that the decorative layer in the one or several second areas when looking at the document from the

Underside of the carrier substrate is visible forth.

In this way, in particular different motifs and / or patterns can be generated, which are visible from the underside of the carrier substrate forth, so that thereby the memorability and thus the protection against counterfeiting of the document is further increased. Here, too, it is advantageous if the decorative layer in the one or more second regions, at least on the side facing the carrier substrate and / or also on the free side facing away from the carrier substrate, can be perceived by a viewer as visual effects, in particular optically variable

Effects, defined and / or predetermined, which are visible when viewing the document from the underside of the carrier substrate forth. The decorative layer thus defines by its configuration the visible in the exposed one or more second areas of the underside of the carrier substrate for a viewer optical effects. In the non-exposed areas of the carrier substrate facing side of the decorative layer, the optical effects are preferably covered by the carrier substrate and are therefore not or only slightly optically effective. Furthermore, it is possible that the one or more first regions are connected to the one or more second regions and / or overlap at least in regions.

Advantageously, the carrier substrate in the one or more first and / or second regions is completely broken. Thus, it is also possible that in step c) and / or d) the carrier substrate in the one or more first and / or second regions is completely broken.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, each of the one or more first and / or second regions lies within a predefined surface area, wherein when viewed perpendicular to one of the

Support substrate spanned level of each of the one or more first and / or second areas, in particular at most 25%, preferably maximum 10%, which covers the area of the respective predefined surface area or area of the respective document. In particular, the predefined surface area comprises a partial area or the total area of the document. For example, one of the lateral dimensions of the predefined surface area corresponds to the height of the document, in particular the height of a banknote, and a further lateral dimension is chosen freely.

Predefined here is understood to be a predetermined value or value range or a predetermined shape or geometry, which in particular comprises 100% of the surface. For example, a predefined

Surface area determined by a rectangle with a specific surface occupancy. Preferably, this surface area corresponds to 100%, so that in particular at most 25%, preferably at most 10%, of this predefined surface area are removed through apertures in the one or more first and / or second areas.

In this way, particularly memorable optical effects can be generated because, due to the small area occupation of the one or more first and / or second areas, a high contrast arises between the carrier substrate and the decorative layer visible through the one or more first and / or second areas.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the width, in particular the line width, and / or the diameter of the one or more first regions and / or second regions is at most 2 mm, preferably at most 1 mm, when viewed perpendicularly to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate , It is thus also possible that in step c) and / or d) the laser beam is widened in such a way by means of a lens system and / or by means of a laser marking head having more than one, preferably more than two movement axes, such that the beam diameter in the focal point is maximum 2 mm, preferably at most 1 mm.

This makes it possible to rough on the bottom of the decorative layer

pre-structured features, such as color areas or areas with optically variable effects, by means of filigree openings in the

To expose carrier substrate. By means of such an exposure, particularly memorable and high-contrast optical effects can be achieved, which are visible from the underside of the carrier substrate.

Further, it is expedient if the width, in particular the line width, and / or the diameter of the one or more first regions and / or second regions is selected such that the decorative layer is in or on the perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate a plurality of first regions and / or second regions when viewing the document from the underside of the carrier substrate with the human eye is visible, and / or that the width, in particular the line width, and / or the diameter of the one or more first regions and / or second areas when viewed perpendicular to a plane defined by the carrier substrate plane at least 20 μιτι, preferably at least 50 μιτι, more preferably at least 100 μιτι is. For this purpose, it is expedient that in step c) and / or d) a laser with a beam diameter in the focal point of at least 20 μιτι, preferably at least 50 μιτι, more preferably at least 100 μιτι, is used. It has been shown that by means of such widths, in particular

Line widths, and / or diameters on the one hand, the visibility of

Decor layer can be guaranteed in the one or more first and / or second regions of the underside of the carrier substrate ago and on the other hand particularly filigree openings can be generated.

Preferably, the document provides in one or more of the first and / or second and / or third areas, in particular in areas comprising the decorative layer, a first optical effect, in particular a first optically variable effect, which is detectable in reflected light by a sensor unit and / or is visible to the human eye, and / or the

Document has in one or more of the first and / or second and / or third areas, in particular in areas comprising the decorative layer, at least a first transmittance, which is detectable in transmitted light by means of a sensor unit and / or visible to the human eye, and has in the areas outside the first and / or second and / or third areas, in particular in areas comprising the carrier film and the at least one decorative layer, preferably in areas comprising the unbroken carrier film and the at least one decorative layer, more preferably within the first and / or or at least one second transmittance or at least one further transmittance, wherein the at least one second transmittance or the at least one further transmittance in transmitted light can be detected by a sensor unit and / or is visible to the human eye, wherein at least a first transmittance, the at least one second transmittance and / or the at least one further

Transmittance at least partially different from each other or at least a first transmittance, the at least one second Transmittance and / or the at least one other transmittance at least partially or completely the same.

Preferably, one or more of the third regions has at least one third transmittance, which is different from the at least one first and / or the at least one second transmittance and / or the at least one further transmittance or is partially or completely the same. In particular, the decorative layer and / or the carrier substrate and / or the document comprising the at least one decorative layer and the carrier substrate have locally different degrees of transmission.

The sensor unit is preferably selected or combined from: camera, in particular a camera comprising a CCD chip (CCD = charge-coupled device), an IR camera (IR = infrared), a UV camera (UV = ultraviolet), or a transition edge sensor (TES).

"Transmittance" is preferably understood as a measure which determines the transmitted portion of the transmitted light through regions of the document, in particular the first, second and / or third regions,

penetrating electromagnetic waves or the penetrating light, in particular the penetrating infrared light and / or the penetrating UV light indicates.

The first and the second transmittance preferably differ by at least 0.1%, in particular by at least 1%, preferably by at least 10%, particularly preferably by at least 25%, in particular preferably by at least 50% and thereby in particular one

Contrast ready.

The filigree openings represent an advantageous protection against counterfeiting, in particular by the verifiability of filigree openings in reflected light and transmitted light. In reflected light, preferably the local

Exposed optical effects of the decorative layer checked. In transmitted light, the filigree openings due to the locally missing there

Carrier substrate to a higher transmittance on than in the respective adjacent areas. This contrast between the filigree

Openings in which only the decorative layer is present and the

adjacent areas in which the carrier substrate and the decorative layer are present, then visually verifiable. A counterfeiter could use the optical effects in the filigree openings by means of finely printed

Metallic pigments or metal pigments or else applied by means of filigree

Although simulating hot stamping foils or cold stamping foils in incident light. The forgery would be recognizable in transmitted light, because within the first and / or second and / or third areas or the filigree openings now a lower transmittance is present and the real document within the first and / or second and / or third areas or the Filigree perforations would have to have a higher degree of transmittance. This means that the filigree apertures in transmitted light appear comparatively dark when counterfeited, but with the real document

would have to be comparatively light.

Furthermore, it is also possible to vary the beam diameter at the focal point in step c) and / or d) during the breaking through of the at least one layer of the carrier substrate. Advantageously, this is the focus of Laser, in particular by means of a lens system and / or by means of a more than one, preferably more than two axes of movement having laser-labeling head changed. As a result, the widths, in particular the line widths, and / or diameter of the one or more first and / or second regions can be varied.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, at least a third region of the carrier substrate is cut out by means of punching and / or by means of a laser, in particular such that the decorative layer is visible in the at least one third region when viewing the document from the underside of the carrier substrate, in particular the at least one third area has a larger area than the one or more first and / or second areas by a factor of at least 4, preferably at least 8, more preferably by at least 10.

Thus, it is possible that the method further comprises the following step, which is carried out in particular before step b): e) cutting at least a third region of the carrier substrate by means of punching and / or by means of a laser, in particular such that the decorative layer in the at least a third area when viewing the document from the bottom of the

Carrier substrate is visible forth.

This makes it possible that the decorative layer in addition to the one or more first and / or second areas in the at least one third

Area is visible from the bottom of the carrier substrate ago. Due to the fact that the at least one third area occupies a larger area than the particularly filigree one or more first and / or second areas, for example, larger-area motifs in the at least one third area can be used Area with filigree lines of one or more first and / or second areas are combined. In contrast to the one or more first and / or second regions, the carrier substrate in the at least one third region is not broken through, but rather punched, for example, but the punched-out waste has to be sucked off and disposed of. As a result, for example, the window production by means of punching and / or laser cutting can be combined with the present invention.

It is also possible that the one or more first and / or second regions are connected to the at least one third region and / or overlap at least in regions.

It is advantageous if the one or more first and / or second

Areas in a pattern, in particular as a graphic motif, alphanumeric, linear, punctiform and / or machine-readable coding,

are designed. A pattern may be, for example, a graphically-designed outline, a figurative representation, an image, a motif, a symbol, a logo, a portrait, an alphanumeric character, a text and / or the like, or a combination of one or more of the above patterns.

It is advantageous if the one or more third regions are configured in a pattern, in particular as a graphic motif and / or as a machine-readable encoding. A pattern may be, for example, a graphically designed outline, an outline of a figurative representation, a motif outline, a symbol outline, a logo outline, or the like.

The one or more first and / or second and / or third areas are preferably individualized and / or personalized, so that for example, per document and / or per document sheet and / or depending

These patterns are calculated, for example, by means of a computer and / or calculated by means of at least one pseudo-random function, pseudo-random distribution, random function, and / or random distribution, and / or provided by a database and / or a cloud. For example, passport documents can be such

be personalized, that the at least one, designed as a pattern first, second, and / or third area the portrait of the respective

Passport holder or passport holder. In particular, the patterns are composed of one or more of the first, second and / or third regions. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the one or more first regions are arranged according to a line grid.

Advantageously, the grid width of the line grid substantially corresponds to the layer thickness of the carrier substrate, and / or the grid width of the line grid between 30 μιτι and 250 μιτι, preferably between 50 μιτι and 100 μιτι, more preferably between 70 μιτι and 90 μιτι. In this way it can be achieved that the decorative layer is visible to a viewer as a function of a lateral viewing angle. For example, it is possible that the decor layer for a viewer who is larger from a side angle of view than 35 °, preferably greater than 25 °, looking at the document is not visible. Further, it is possible to produce a color change effect by means of a viewing angle-dependent visibility of the decorative layer.

Preferably, a plurality of decor layers present in regions are provided on the carrier substrate, wherein the decorative layers are in particular preferably all arranged on the same side of the carrier substrate and / or on respectively different sides of the carrier substrate.

It is also advantageous if, when viewed perpendicularly to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate, the decorative layer completely covers the one or more first and / or second and / or third regions.

In this way it can be ensured that the decorative layer or the optical effects generated by the decorative layer are visible from the underside of the carrier substrate in all perforated regions. Further, it is possible that the decorative layer when viewed perpendicular to one of the carrier substrate spanned plane completely covers the predefined surface areas. It is also expedient if, in step b), the decorative layer is applied in such a way that the decorative layer, when viewed perpendicular to one of the

Supported substrate plane, the one or more first and / or second areas and / or third areas and / or the predefined

For example, a carrier substrate may have five processing tracks whose greatest lateral extent is in each case along the running direction of the Carrier substrate is aligned and the widths of the processing tracks are preferably the same or transverse to the direction of the substrate. For example, each of the machining tracks may have a variety of benefits along the running direction of the carrier substrate. Each of the

FIGS. 9a and 9b schematically show devices for carrying out the method

1 a and 1 b show a document 1 with a carrier substrate 2 and a decorative layer 3 applied to the surface 4 of the carrier substrate 2.

The document 1 is in particular a

Security document such as a banknote, ID card, visa or security. The carrier substrate 2 is preferably a paper substrate, in particular a single-layered paper substrate. It is also possible for the carrier substrate 2 to comprise cotton fibers, wood fibers, cellulose fibers, textile fibers and / or synthetic fibers. Preferably, the carrier substrate 2 has a layer thickness between 30 μιτι and 250 μιτι, preferably between 50 μιτι and 100 μιτι, on. It is also possible for the carrier substrate 2 to have additives, in particular safety fibers and / or security pigments and / or dyes and / or watermarks. In the carrier substrate 2 shown in Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b is a single-layered

Paper substrate with a layer thickness of 80 μιτι.

As shown in Fig. 1 b, is on the top 4 of the support substrate 2 the

Decor layer 3 applied. It is possible that the decorative layer 3 is formed one or more layers. Preferably, the decorative layer 3 has an or multiple color layers, one or more layers of optically variable pigments, one or more thin film layer systems, one or more optically variable effect generating layers, one or more colorant and / or dissolved dye layers, and / or one or more microstructured layers. Advantageously, the layers produce at least one color effect in the range of the wavelengths visible to the human eye, in particular in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 800 nm, when the document 1 is viewed from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2. It is advantageous if the microstructures are selected from the group Kinegram ^®, holograms, blazed grating, in particular asymmetric sawtooth relief structures, diffractive structures in particular linear sinusoidal grating or crossed sinusoidal diffraction grating or linear single or multi rectangular grid or crossed single or multi rectangular grid , Mirror surfaces, matt structures, in particular anisotropic or isotropic matt structures, or combinations of these structures.

As in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, the carrier substrate 2 is perforated in the regions 10 shown in black, so that the decorative layer 3 is visible to the viewer 9 of the document 1 in the regions 10 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 , The carrier substrate 2 is hereby broken through by means of a laser.

The designations upper side 4 and / or lower side 5 serve here in particular to distinguish the surfaces of the carrier substrate 2 and in particular represent a reference system. However, it is also possible to use the designations first page and second page instead of these reference designations. In this case, a defined area of a layer or layer, which when viewed perpendicular to one of the

Carrier substrate 2 spanned level is taken. Thus, for example, the carrier substrate 2 has the regions 10, each of the regions 10 each occupying a defined area when viewed perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate 2.

Breaking through a layer means in this case the complete removal of a layer, in particular by means of laser cutting and / or laser ablation. If, for example, a layer in an area 10

broken through, the corresponding layer has been completely removed in this area 10. In this case, the perforation preferably takes place due to laser cutting and / or laser ablation, so that the perforated layers are removed without residue in the corresponding regions 10 and / or ablated and / or burned and / or vaporized. For example, in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, the carrier substrate 2 is completely removed in the regions 10, in particular by means of laser cutting and / or laser ablation, so that the carrier substrate 2 is removed without residues in the regions 10.

Under visible here is understood that the decorative layer 3 for the

Viewer 9 is seen in viewing the document 1 by the unaided human eye from the bottom 5 of the support substrate 2 ago.

As indicated in Fig. 1 a by the dashed lines, the decorative layer 3 is only partially applied to the top 4 of the carrier substrate 2. The example in Fig. 1 a shows a strip shape of the decorative layer 3, wherein alternatively or additionally, other shapes, such as a patch shape are possible. Furthermore, the decorative layer 3 completely covers the regions 10 when viewed perpendicularly to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate 2.

This ensures that the decorative layer 3 or the optical effects generated by the decorative layer are visible to the viewer 9 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 in all perforated regions 10.

As shown in Fig. 1 a, the regions 10 are designed linear. However, it is also possible for the regions 10 to be used as a graphic motif,

alphanumeric, punctiform and / or machine-readable coding, are configured. A pattern may be, for example, a graphically designed outline, a figurative representation, an image, a motif, a symbol, a logo, a portrait, an alphanumeric character, a text, and the like.

FIG. 1 c schematically shows an enlarged detail 40 of FIG. 1 a. As shown in FIG. 1 c, in the regions 10 in which the carrier substrate 2 is located

is broken through, the decorative layer 3 recognizable. Further, the areas 10, as shown in Fig. 1 c, the line width 50 on. Preferably, the

Line width 50 when viewed perpendicular to a plane spanned by the support substrate 2 level of a maximum of 2 mm, preferably at most 1 mm. However, it is expedient if the line width 50 of the regions 10 is selected to be at least so wide perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate 2 that the decorative layer 3 in the region 10 in viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 with visible to the human eye. The line width 50 is therefore preferably at least 20 μιτι, preferably at least 50 μιτι, more preferably at least 100 μιτι, particularly preferably at least 200 μιτι. The shown in Fig. 1 c Line width is 200 μηη. However, the above size indications with respect to the line width of the regions can also refer to the width and / or the diameter of the regions 10, depending on the configuration of the regions 10. So it is possible that when forming the areas as circles, this one

Diameter between minimally 20 μιτι, preferably at least 50 μιτι, more preferably at least 100 μιτι μιτι, more preferably at least 200 μιτι, and at most 2 mm, preferably at most 1 mm.

As shown in FIG. 1 c, the effect visually perceptible to the observer 9 in the regions 10 is defined and / or predetermined by the decorative layer, since when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of FIG

Carrier substrate 2 forth, the carrier substrate 2 only in the areas 10th

is broken. Thus, the decorative layer 3 is visible only in these open areas 10 for the viewer 9. The decorative layer 3 thus defines by their configuration in the openwork areas 10 of the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 visible to the viewer 9 optical effects.

FIGS. 2 a to 2c schematically show sectional views of documents 1.

The document 1 shown in FIG. 2 a comprises a carrier substrate 2 and a decorative layer 3 applied to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2.

The carrier substrate 2 shown in Fig. 2a is as a multilayer

Support substrate 2 is formed and includes the layers 6, 7. The carrier substrate 2 shown in Fig. 2a is a multi-layered

Hybrid substrate, which has two paper layers 6 and a plastic layer 7. In the plastic layer 7 is preferably a plastic läge from Polyamide. Preferably, the carrier substrate 2 has a layer thickness between 30 μιτι and 250 μιτι, preferably between 50 μιτι and 100 μιτι, on.

As shown in Fig. 2a, both the paper layers 6 and the

Plastic 7 would be broken in the regions 10, so that the carrier substrate in the areas 10 is completely broken in such a way, the decorative layer 3 is visible in the areas 10 when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the multi-layered carrier substrate 2 ago. In particular, since the outside paper layers 6 matte and thus essentially

are opaque, is a complete opening of the

Carrier substrate 2 necessary to decor sheet 3 when viewing the

Document 1 from the bottom 5 of the multi-layered carrier substrate 2 ago to make visible to a viewer. With regard to the configuration of the regions 10 and the decorative layer 3, reference is made here to the above statements.

The document 1 shown in FIG. 2b comprises a carrier substrate 2 and a decorative layer 3 applied to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2.

The carrier substrate 2 shown in Fig. 2b is as a multilayer

Support substrate 2 is formed and includes the layers 6, 7. The carrier substrate 2 shown in Fig. 2b is a multi-layered

Carrier substrate 2, which has a paper layer 6 and two plastic layers 7. The plastic layers 7 preferably comprise polyester and / or polyethylene terephthalate (= PET). Further, it is possible that at least one of the plastic layers 7 is transparent. The plastic layers 7 shown in FIG. 2b are transparent plastic layers. Under transparent here is the property of matter understood to let light from the visible to the human eye wavelength range, in particular from the wavelength range between 380 nm to 780 nm.

As shown in FIG. 2 b, the paper layer 6 and the plastic layer 7 arranged on the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 are in the regions 10

breached. Since the plastic layers 7 are designed to be transparent, in particular since the plastic layer 7, which is not perforated in the region 10 and is arranged on the upper side of the carrier substrate 2, is transparent, this is

Decor layer 3 in the areas 10 when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the multilayer carrier substrate 2 forth visible. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2b, the carrier substrate 2 is not completely broken, but the decorative layer 3 still remains in the regions 10 when viewing the

Document 1 is visible from the bottom 5 of the multi-layered carrier substrate 2 ago.

With regard to the configuration of the regions 10 and the decorative layer 3, reference is made here to the above statements.

The document 1 shown in FIG. 2c comprises a carrier substrate 2 and a decorative layer 3 applied to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2. The carrier substrate 2 shown in FIG. 2c is in the form of a multilayer

Support substrate 2 is formed and includes the layers 7, 8. The carrier substrate 2 shown in Fig. 2c is a multi-layered

Carrier substrate 2, which would be a transparent plastic 7 and an opaque Layer 8 has. The opaque layer 8 is preferably an opacified lacquer layer and / or a printed color layer. In the transparent plastic läge 7 is preferably a

Polymer layer.

As shown in FIG. 2 c, the opaque layer 8 is in the regions 10

breached. Since the plastic layer 7 is designed to be transparent, the decorative layer 3 is visible in the regions 10 when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the multilayer carrier substrate 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 c, the carrier substrate 2 is not completely broken through, but the decorative layer 3 is still visible in the regions 10 when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the multilayer carrier substrate 2. As shown in Fig. 2c, at least the layer 8 of the

Support substrate 2 in the regions 10 is broken. An opening of the transparent plastic läge 7 is therefore not necessary to still recognize the decorative layer 3 in the areas 10 when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the multi-layered carrier substrate 2 ago.

FIGS. 3a to 3f schematically show further embodiments of documents 1 in plan view from the underside of the carrier substrate 2, which each have a carrier substrate 2 and one on the upper side of the carrier substrate 2

Support substrate 2 applied decor layer include.

As indicated in FIGS. 3 a to 3f by the dashed lines, the decorative layer is only partially in the upper side of the carrier substrate 2 applied, wherein the decorative layer when viewed perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate 2 level completely covers the areas 10, 1 1 and / or 12. With regard to the further embodiment of the decorative layer, reference is made here to the above statements. Likewise, with regard to the configuration of the carrier substrate 2, reference is made here to the above statements.

As shown in FIG. 3 a, the carrier substrate 2 is perforated in the regions 10 such that the decorative layer is visible in the regions 10 of the document 1 from the underside of the carrier substrate 2.

As shown in FIG. 3 a, the regions 10 are in this case preferably in the form of a line. Further, each of the regions 10 represents a pattern. For example, a pattern may be a graphically designed outline, a figurative

Representation, an image, a motif, a symbol, a logo, a portrait, an alphanumeric character, a text, and the like.

Next, the carrier substrate 2, as shown in Fig. 3a, in the region 12 has a recess. Preferably, the region 12 is cut out by punching and / or by means of a laser. The area 12 is, as shown in Fig. 3a, rectangular shaped. However, it is also possible that the region 12 is formed oval, circular or musterformig. Further, the area 12, as shown schematically in Fig. 3a, takes a much larger area compared to the areas 10. The area 12 preferably has a larger area than the areas 10 by a factor of at least 4, preferably by a factor of at least 8, more preferably by a factor of at least 10. Area 12 is preferably present during the production of document 1 the break through the areas 10 executed. The

Decor layer 3 is in the area 12 when looking at the document 1 from the Underside of the carrier substrate 2 forth visible. In this case, it is also possible for the regions 10 to be connected to the region 12.

As shown in FIG. 3 b, the carrier substrate 2 in the regions 10 and 1 1 is pierced in such a way that the decorative layer is visible in the regions 10 and 1 1 when viewing the document 1 from the underside of the carrier substrate 2.

As shown in FIG. 3 b, the region 10 is preferably designed in the form of a line. Furthermore, the region 10 represents a pattern. The region 11, as shown in FIG. 3b, likewise has a linear configuration and forms a closed contour which represents a star-shaped pattern. The areas 10 and 1 1 were hereby broken by means of a laser and have a line width of 300 μιτι on. This makes it possible, on the underside of the decorative layer coarsely prestructured features, such as color surfaces or surfaces with optically variable effects, by means of filigree openings in the areas 10 and 1 1 of the carrier substrate 2 expose such that these when viewing the document 1 of the Bottom 5 of the

Carrier substrate 2 forth are visible.

As shown in FIG. 3 b, the carrier substrate 2 is perforated both in the region 10 and in the region 1 1 in such a way that the decorative layer in the regions 10 and 1 1, viewed from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2, approaches the document 1 is visible, the area 1 1 to the

Area 10 has different patterns. Thus, when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2, the decorative layer defines the one for both in the regions 10 and in the regions 11 Observers perceptible optical effects, in particular optically variable effects.

The document 1 shown in FIG. 3c has the areas 10 and 11. The area 10 corresponds to the area 11 of FIG. 3b, so that with respect to the configuration of the area 10, reference is made to the above explanations. The areas 1 1 are circular and have a diameter of 50 μιτι to 500 μιτι on. The areas 1 1 are arranged according to a grid. However, it is also possible for the grid width to be between 100 μm and 5000 μm, preferably between 500 μm and 2500 μm. In particular, the next distance is between two

adjacent to the areas 1 1 between 100 μιτι and 5000 μιτι, preferably between 500 μιτι and 2500 μιτι. The carrier substrate 2 was in the

Regions 1 1 by means of a laser in this case broken so that the

Decor layer is visible in the areas 1 1 of the document 1 from the underside of the carrier substrate 2 ago.

For example, one or more information that can be captured haptically by a human being, in particular haptically detectable information about the value of a banknote or haptically detectable information regarding the owner of a document, can be provided by such an arrangement of the areas 1 1 in braille. The document 1 shown in FIG. 3d has the areas 10 and 11. The areas 1 1 are in this case designed linear and each form a sectionally closed contour in the form of a triangle. The line width of the areas 1 1 in Fig. 3d is 250 μιτι. The area 10 is linear designed and forms in the form of a circle also a sectionally closed contour. The line width of the area 10 in FIG. 3d is 350 μm so that the decorative layer in both the areas 11 and in the area 10 when viewing the document 1 from the underside of the

Carrier substrate 2 is visible forth.

A sectionally closed contour is understood to mean that the openings are provided in such a way that no completely enclosed areas 10 and / or 1 1 are formed, but the areas 10 and 11 are defined by contours that are interrupted in sections. For this purpose, the openings are designed such that interruptions in the openings are provided at regular and / or irregular intervals, the carrier substrate not being removed in these interruptions, so that the areas 10 and / or 11 are connected at least by one connection, preferably by several connections , related.

In FIGS. 3e to 3d, the carrier substrate 2 is completely broken through in each case in the regions 10 and 11 which are shown in black, respectively. However, it is also possible that, as explained above, only in particular the opaque layers of the carrier substrate 2 from the direction of the underside 5 of the

Supporting substrate 2 are broken through, wherein the decorative layer is still visible when viewing the document 1 from the underside of the carrier substrate 2 ago, in particular because the unbroken layers of the

Carrier substrate 2 are transparent. If the regions 10 and 11, for example the region 11 in FIG. 3b or the region 10 in FIG. 3c, enclose a region of the carrier substrate 2, this region of the carrier substrate is not removed, since the openings of the regions 10 and 11 are preferably after application of the decorative layer takes place, so that of the areas 10 and 1 1 enclosed areas of the carrier substrate 2 adhere to the decorative layer and are therefore not removed, ie the decorative layer fixes the areas enclosed by a closed contour areas of the carrier substrate 2. Thus, it is possible that the areas 10 and 1 1 form closed contours, without the enclosed For example, portions of the carrier substrate fall out during the manufacturing process.

The document 2 shown in FIG. 3e has the areas 10 and 11. The area 1 1 here is linear and has a line width of 500 μιτι on. The region 10 forms, as shown in Fig. 3e, a closed circular contour and further has different line widths, so that the shape of a flower is formed. The regions 10 and 11 are not connected to each other so that the region 10 and the region 11 are separated from a region in which the carrier substrate 2 is not broken by means of a laser. The line widths of the region 10 in this case vary between 500 μιτι and 750 μιτι. Such variations of the line widths can

For example, be generated by variations of the beam diameter in the focal point during the breaking of the carrier substrate 2.

Advantageously, in this case, the focus of the laser, in particular by means of a lens system, changed. As can be seen Fig. 3e, is the

Decor layer in the areas 10 and 1 1 when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 forth forth, the decorative layer in the areas 10 and 1 1, in Fig. 3e indicated by the different shading other colors, especially from the RGB Having color space. Thus, the decorative layer in the area 10 has a red hue and in the area 1 1 a green hue. Further, the areas 10 and 1 1, as shown in Fig. 3e, connected to each other. Further, it is advantageous to separate the regions 10 and 1 1 from each other. The distance between the two regions 10 and 11 is preferably selected so that any positional tolerances of the different colors on the decorative layer 3 are concealed or hidden relative to the regions 10 and 11 below this distance.

Also in Fig. 3e, the carrier substrate 2 in the hatched areas 10 and 1 1 is completely broken. However, it is also possible that, as already explained above, only in particular the opaque layers of the carrier substrate 2 from the direction of the underside 5 of

Supporting substrate 2 are broken through, wherein the decorative layer is still visible from the underside of the carrier substrate 2 when viewing the document 1, in particular because the non-perforated layers of the carrier substrate 2 are transparent. The area 10 forms a closed contour. However, since the area 10 by means of a laser after the

Application of the decorative layer has been broken, is here also the area enclosed by the region 10 of the carrier substrate 2 fixed by the decorative layer. For further stabilization, it is possible to apply to the underside of the carrier substrate 2 a transparent plastic layer, in particular in the region of the decorative layer applied to the upper side.

FIG. 3f respectively shows a region 10 and 11, which are each provided as a filigree opening, which are designed as a tendril-shaped motif, wherein the regions 10 and 11 are in each case continuous.

4 shows schematically an enlarged detail 40 of FIG. 3a. As shown in FIG. 4, each region 10 is within a predefined one Surface area 13, which is shown by the dashed lines in Fig. 4. Preferably, each of the regions 10 in which the carrier substrate is perforated by means of a laser and / or in which the opaque layers of the carrier substrate are preferably perforated by means of a laser comprises a maximum of 25%, preferably a maximum of 10, when viewed perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate %, the area of the respective predefined

Surface area 13.

Predefined here is understood to mean a predetermined value or value range or a predetermined shape or geometry, in particular which

100% of the area comprises. Thus, in FIG. 4, a predefined surface area 13 is determined by a rectangle with a specific area occupancy.

Preferably, this surface area corresponds to 100%, so that a maximum of 25%, preferably a maximum of 10%, of this predefined surface area 13 are removed through openings in the areas 10.

Further, it is possible that the decorative layer when viewed perpendicular to a plane defined by the carrier substrate level and the predefined

Surface areas 13 completely covered.

FIGS. 5a to 5c schematically show sectional views of documents 1, which comprise a carrier substrate 2 and a decorative layer 3.

The document 1 shown in FIG. 5a in this case comprises the carrier substrate 2 and the decorative layer 3. The carrier substrate 2 is a

single-layer paper substrate with a layer thickness of 80 μιτι. However, it is also possible, as explained above, that the carrier substrate 2 is a multi-layered carrier substrate is. Regarding one such

Embodiment is directed to the above statements.

The decorative layer 3 shown in FIG. 5 a comprises the layers 20, 21 and 22. The decorative layer 3 is applied in regions to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2.

The layer 20 is a thin film layer system that produces a viewing-angle-dependent optically variable effect. For this purpose, the thin-film layer system preferably has an interference layer structure.

Preferably, the interference layer structure comprises a reflection layer, such as a metal layer, an absorption layer and a

transparent dielectric spacer layer satisfying the λ / 4 or λ / 2 condition for a wavelength in the visible light range. However, it is also possible to construct the thin-film layer system from a sequence of high and low refractive layers. As shown in FIG. 5 a, the layer 20 is in this case arranged between the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2 and the layer 21. Under the K / 2 or λ / 4 condition, the path difference, that is the

Path difference (path difference) to understand two or more coherent waves of the incident light. This path difference is decisive for the occurrence of interference phenomena. If the path difference between two waves of the same wavelength λ and the same amplitude is exactly one half

Wavelength (and / or plus any integer multiple of the wavelength), then delete the two partial waves. This intensity attenuation is called destructive interference. If the path difference is an integer multiple of the wavelength, the amplitudes of the wavelength are added together both partial waves. In this case there is constructive interference. Values in between result in partial extinction.

The layer 21 comprises a replication lacquer layer with microstructures molded at least in certain regions and at least in regions

Reflective layer. The replication lacquer layer consists for example of a thermoplastic lacquer in which the microstructures are molded by means of heat and pressure by the action of an embossing tool. Furthermore, it is also possible that the replication lacquer layer is formed by a UV-crosslinkable lacquer and the microstructures by means of UV replication in the

Replikatierlackschicht be molded. In this case, the microstructures are molded onto the uncured replication lacquer layer by the action of an embossing tool and the replication lacquer layer is cured by irradiation with UV light before and / or immediately during and / or after the impression. Further, it is advantageous if the replication lacquer layer has a layer thickness between 0.2 μm and 4 μm, preferably 0.3 μm and 2 μm, more preferably 0.4 μm and 1.5 μm. The partially shaped microstructures are in this case for example formed as a sinusoidal diffraction grating and produce a viewing angle-dependent optically variable effect. However, it is also possible that the microstructures are selected from the group Kinegram ^® , holograms, Blazegitter, in particular asymmetric sawtooth relief structures, diffraction structures, in particular linear sinusoidal diffraction gratings or crossed sinusoidal diffraction gratings or linear single- or multi-level rectangular lattice or crossed on or multistage

Rectangular gratings, mirror surfaces, matt structures, in particular anisotropic or isotropic matt structures, or combinations of these structures.

The reflection layer is preferably a metal layer. The metal layer is preferably a metal layer Chromium, aluminum, gold, copper, silver or an alloy of such metals, in particular, in a vacuum in a layer thickness of 0.01 μιτι to 0.15 μιτι is evaporated. Furthermore, it is also possible that the reflection layer is formed by a transparent reflection layer, for example a thin or finely structured metallic layer or an HRI or LRI (high refractive index) layer (HRI, low refractive index - LRI). Such a dielectric reflection layer consists for example of a vapor-deposited layer of a metal oxide, metal sulfide, titanium oxide, etc. with a thickness of 10 nm to 150 nm.

In addition to the layers 20 and 21 shown in FIG. 5 a, the decorative layer 3 can also have other or further layers as an alternative to the layers 20 and 21

Layers especially selected from the group consisting of one or more color layers, one or more layers with optically variable pigments, one or more thin-film layer systems, one or more optically variable effect-generating layers, one or more layers with color pigments and / or dissolved dyes and / or a or more layers with microstructures, in particular wherein the layers have at least one color effect in the range visible to the human eye

Wavelengths, in particular in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm, when viewing the document from the underside of the carrier substrate ago forth, include.

The layer 22 is an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is preferably a hot or cold adhesive layer which comprises in particular acrylates, PVC, polyurethane or polyester. In the layer 22 is a hot melt adhesive layer with a layer thickness of 0.1 μιτι to 10 μιτι, preferably from 0.5 μιτι to 5 μιτι. In the decorative layer 3 shown in Fig. 5a It is therefore in particular a transfer layer of a hot stamping foil. However, it is also possible that the decorative layer a transfer layer of a

Cold stamping foil is or that the decorative layer is a laminating film. As shown in FIG. 5a, the carrier substrate 2 and the layer 22 are the

Decor layer 3 in the areas L O so broken by a laser that the layer 20 is visible in areas 10 when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 ago. Here, therefore, not only the carrier substrate 2 but also the layer 22 was broken by means of a laser. Further, as shown in Fig. 5a, in the region 1 1 the

Carrier substrate 2 and the layers 22 and 20 by means of a laser

been broken. As a result, the layer 21 has been exposed in the region 1 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2, so that the layer 22 in the region 1 1 is visible from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 when viewing the document 1. If the document 1 of FIG. 5a is therefore viewed from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate, the layer 20 in the regions 10 and the layer 21 in the region 11 are visible.

FIG. 5b corresponds to FIG. 5a with the difference that the decorative layer in FIG. 5b further comprises the protective lacquer layer 23. The protective lacquer layer is preferably a layer of PET (= polyethylene terephthalate), PEN (= polyethylene naphthalate), PE (= polyethylene), PI = (polyimide), PP (=

Protective lacquer layer is a layer of PET with a

Layer thickness of 16 μιτι. With regard to the further embodiment of the layers shown in Fig. 5b reference is made here to the above statements. The document 1 shown in FIG. 5c comprises a carrier substrate 2, a

The decorative layer 3 of FIG. 5c corresponds to the decorative layer of FIG. 5a with the difference that the decorative layer 3 does not comprise an adhesive layer 22 and is applied directly to the carrier substrate 2. As shown in FIG. 5 c, the transparent plastic layer 7 is applied to the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 in the region in which the decorative layer 3 is applied to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2. As shown in Fig. 5c, the transparent plastic was 7 and the carrier substrate 2 in the areas 10 and 1 1 by means of a laser broken. In that

Area 1 1, the layer 20 is further broken, so that in the area 1 1, the layer 21 is visible from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 when viewing the document 1. With regard to the further embodiments of the layers, reference is made here to the above statements.

FIGS. 6 a to 6d schematically show a document 1.

In Fig. 6a, the document 1 is shown in plan view when viewing the document 1 from the top 4 of the support substrate 2 forth. As shown in FIG. 6 a, the document 1 has the decorative layer 3, which is applied to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2.

In Fig. 6b, the document 1 is shown in plan view when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the support substrate 2 forth. The carrier substrate 2 is perforated in the regions 10 by means of a laser such that the decorative layer 3 is visible in the regions 10 when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2. Further, the areas 10 are on the decorative layer 3 opposite side of the carrier substrate arranged, which is indicated by the dashed lines. As shown in Fig. 6b, the regions 10 are in this case designed linear and arranged according to a line grid. FIG. 6c schematically shows an enlarged detail 41 of FIG. 6b. As shown in FIG. 6c, the black areas 10 in which the carrier substrate 2 is broken by means of a laser are such that the

Decor layer 3 is visible in the regions 10 when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 ago, designed line-shaped and arranged according to a grid. Advantageously, the corresponds

Grid width of the line grid essentially the layer thickness of the

Carrier substrate 2. However, it is also possible that the grid width of the line grid between 30 μιτι and 250 μιτι, preferably between 50 μιτι and 100 μιτι, more preferably between 70 μιτι and 90 μιτι. The grid width of the line grid shown in Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c is 80 μιτι.

Fig. 6d illustrates the effect of that shown in Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c

open areas 10 of the support substrate 2 when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the support substrate 2 ago. If the document 1 is viewed substantially perpendicular to a plane spanned by the carrier substrate 2, the decorative layer 3 is visible in the regions 10 when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2. If the document 1 is tilted and viewed, for example, from its lateral viewing angle of greater than 35 °, preferably greater than 25 °, from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2, the decorative layer 3 is no longer visible. The decorative layer 3 is thus visible as a function of a lateral viewing angle for a viewer. If the decorative layer 3 is, for example, a color layer, then this can be seen when looking at the Document 1 from the bottom 5 of the support substrate 2 ago

View angle-dependent color change effect in the areas 10 are generated.

FIGS. 7a to 7c schematically show method steps for producing a document 1.

As shown in Fig. 7a, the carrier substrate 2 is first provided.

With regard to the configuration of the carrier substrate 2 is here to above

References. In a next step, as shown in FIG. 7b, the decorative layer 3 is applied to the upper side of the carrier substrate 2. The decorative layer 3 is, for example, a layer of color pigments that produce a green color impression. Regarding other possible

Embodiments of the decorative layer 3 is here made to the above statements. The application of the decorative layer 3 is preferably carried out by means of hot stamping, cold stamping or laminating, i. The decorative layer can be, for example, a transfer layer of a hot stamping foil, which by means of hot stamping on the

Carrier substrate 2 is applied and / or be a laminating film, which is applied by means of heat bonding to the carrier substrate 2. In a further step, the carrier substrate 2 is subsequently broken in the region 10 by means of a laser. This makes it possible that the decorative layer 3 at

View of the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 forth is visible. In Fig. 7c, the carrier substrate 2 is completely broken by means of a laser. However, it is also possible that the carrier substrate 2 is not completely broken through and the decorative layer 3 is nevertheless visible when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 forth. For example, the carrier substrate may comprise a transparent plastic layer, which is arranged between the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2 and the decorative layer 3 and therefore due to their transparency Visibility of the decorative layer 3 when viewing the document 1 of the

Bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 ago not impaired. In Fig. 7c, the breaking of the carrier substrate 2 from the direction of the bottom 5 of the

Carrier substrate 2.

Breaking through here is the complete removal here

Support substrate 2 understood. The breakthrough takes place here preferably due to laser cutting and / or laser ablation, so that the

Carrier substrate 2 removed in the region 10 without residue and / or ablated and / or burned and / or vaporized. For breaking through the carrier substrate 2 according to the embodiment of FIG. 7c, a gas laser, in particular a CO2 laser, was used. The laser power is advantageously at least 250 W, preferably at least 300 W, more preferably at least 350 W. Further, it is advantageous if the

Wavelength of the laser between 9.35 μιτι and 10.25 μιτι amounts. The

Region 10 of the carrier substrate 2 in Fig. 7c was μιτι by means of a CO2 laser with a laser power of 300 W and a wavelength of 10.6

breached. Preferably, the laser beam is here by means of deflectable mirror,

in particular by means of a laser scan module, along and / or directed onto the region 10 of the carrier substrate.

The beam diameter of the laser is in this case at least 20 μιτι in the focal point, preferably at least 50 μιτι, more preferably at least 100 μιτι. However, it is also possible to expand the laser beam by means of a lens system in such a way that the beam diameter in the focal point is at most 2 mm, preferably at most 1 mm. The area 10 shown in Fig. 7c was by means of a laser beam having a beam diameter of 200 μιτι in

Has focal point generated, so that the width of the region 10 is also substantially 200 μιτι. In this case, the laser is preferably operated at a writing speed of 3000 mm / s, preferably 2200 mm / s, more preferably 2000 mm / s. Furthermore, it is possible for the laser to have a writing surface of 200 × 200 mm, preferably of 150 × 150 mm, more preferably of 140 × 140 mm.

Appropriately, the carrier substrate 2 is in this case with a

Running speed of 200 m / min, preferably of at most 130 m / min, more preferably of 120 m / min, even more preferably transported by 60 m / min. This ensures that, depending on the writing surface of the laser, the writing speed of the laser and / or the laser power, the carrier substrate 2 is broken in the region 10 or removed without residue.

FIGS. 8a to 8c schematically show method steps for producing a document 1.

As shown in FIG. 8a, the carrier substrate 2 is provided in a first step. With regard to the configuration of the carrier substrate 2, reference is made here to the above statements.

In a further step according to FIG. 8b, the decorative layer 3 is applied to the carrier substrate 2. The application is preferably carried out by means of hot stamping. The decorative layer shown in FIG. 8b in this case comprises the Layers 20, 21, 22 and 23. The layer 22 is a hot-melt adhesive layer which comprises in particular acrylates, PVC, polyurethane or polyester and by means of which the decorative layer 3 on the upper side 4 of the

Carrier substrate 2 is firmly applied. Layer 20 is a color layer that has a blue hue. The layer 21 is also a color layer, but has a yellow hue. Such color layers can be produced, for example, by layers which are in contact with the corresponding color pigments and / or dissolved

Dyes are provided. However, it is also possible for the layers 20 and 21 to be, for example, layers which each generate a different optically variable effect. For example, it is possible for the layers 20 and 21 to have different shapes

Have microstructures each generating an optically variable effect. The layer 23 is a protective lacquer layer. With regard to the configuration of the layer 23, reference is made here to the above statements.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the step of applying the decorative layer 3 to the upper side 4 of the carrier substrate 2 further comprises the following step: - stretching the decorative layer 3 before applying the decorative layer 3 to the

Carrier substrate 2, wherein the stretching of the decorative layer 3 between 0% and 10%, preferably between 0% and 5%. Here is the stretching of the

Decor layer preferably by a stretching of the transfer film or the laminating film, which comprises the decorative layer 3 as a transfer layer produced. By appropriate stretching, a motif spacing of motifs located on the decorative layer 3 is brought into conformity with the distances of security features located on the carrier substrate 2. As a result, tolerance values between the decorative layer 3, in particular between on the decorative layer 3 located motifs, and the openings in

Areas 10 and 1 1 between ± 0.1 mm and ± 2.0 mm, preferably between ± 0.3 mm and ± 1, 5 mm, can be achieved.

After the decorative layer 3 has been applied, as shown in FIG. 8c, in the region 10, the carrier substrate 2 and the layer 22 of the decorative layer 3 are broken by means of a laser. As a result, the blue ink layer 20 is exposed, so that when viewing the document 1 from the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 ago, in the area 10 a blue color impression

is perceived. If the region, as shown above, for example, in FIG. 3 a, has a linear design and forms a pattern, the line-shaped pattern for a viewer appears in blue color. Further, as shown in Fig. 8c, in the region 1 1, the support substrate 2 and the layers 22 and 20 of the decorative sheet 3 are broken by means of a laser. As a result, the yellow ink layer 21 is exposed, so that when viewing the document 1 from the underside 5 of the carrier substrate 2 ago, in the area 10 a yellow color impression is perceived. In this case, it is possible for the region 10 and the region 11 to be connected and / or the regions 10 and 11 to overlap at least in regions. This makes it possible, for example, multi-colored motifs targeted from the bottom 5 of

Carrier substrate 2 expose, wherein the color or the visual impression of these motifs are defined by the exposed layers 20 and 21 decorative layer 3.

It is also possible to produce the regions 10 and 1 1 by means of different lasers. So at least two lasers are used, which are preferably matched to one another such that the

Manufacturing process can be shortened.

After breaking through the carrier substrate 2 and the layers 22 and 20 in the regions 10 and 11, it is possible that the method further comprises the following step: applying one or more, in particular

transparent, plastic layers, which are applied in particular on the top and / or bottom of the carrier substrate 2. As a result, the stability or robustness of the document 1 with respect to environmental influences can be further improved. Also, this can break through the

Areas 10 and 1 1 on the bottom 5 of the carrier substrate 2 ago

be closed to prevent ingress of contaminants.

It is also possible that the step of applying the decorative layer 3 and / or the step of breaking through the carrier substrate 2 and the layers 22 and 20 further comprises the following steps:

- Capture the position data of a security feature of

Carrier substrate 2, in particular a watermark;

optionally, correcting the detected position data by means of an algorithm into corrected position data;

- Introducing the control openings in the carrier substrate 2 on the basis of the detected position data, in particular based on the corrected

Position data, in particular by means of a laser. FIGS. 9a and 9b schematically show devices 19 for carrying out the method. Fig. 9a shows schematically a device 19 for carrying out the

Process.

In this case, the device 19 has the application device 31 a by means of which a decorative layer is applied to the carrier substrate 3. Furthermore, the device 19 comprises a laser for breaking through at least one layer of the carrier substrate 2, and a transport device 30, which serves to transport the carrier substrate 2. For example, it is possible that the

Transport means a supply roll, on which the carrier substrate 2 is wound, comprises. Alternatively, it is also possible that the

Transport direction for transporting the carrier substrate 2 is designed in an arc shape.

The laser 32 is preferably a gas laser, in particular a CO2 laser, and / or a solid-state laser, in particular a Nd: YAG laser. Advantageously, the laser power is at least 250 W, preferably at least 300 W, more preferably at least 350 W. It is also advantageous if the wavelength of the laser 32 is between 9.35 μιτι and 10.25 μιτι. For example, a CO2 laser with a

Laser power of 300 W and a wavelength of 10.6 μιτι be used. Preferably, the laser 32 has a writing speed of 3000 mm / s, preferably 2200 mm / s, more preferably 2000 mm / s. Furthermore, it is possible for the laser 32 to have a writing surface of 200 × 200 mm, preferably of 150 × 150 mm, more preferably of 140 × 140 mm.

Conveniently, the transport device 30 is configured such that the carrier substrate 2 with a running speed of 200 m / min, preferably from 130 m / min, more preferably 120 m / min, even more preferably from

60 m / min, is transported.

9b schematically shows a device 19 for carrying out the method comprising a transport device 30, a sensor unit 33, a

Arithmetic unit 34, a printing unit 35 and a punching unit 36.

The carrier substrate 2 is first of the transport unit 30 of the

Sensor unit 33 is supplied. The sensor unit 33, in particular an optical sensor unit for detecting radiation in incident light and / or transmitted light in one or more visible wavelength ranges or the entire visible wavelength range and / or in one or more ultraviolet wavelength ranges or the entire ultraviolet wavelength range and / or in one or a plurality of infrared wavelength ranges or the entire infrared wavelength range, is for example a photodetector, a CCD sensor or a CMOS camera, and enables the detection of the position of the at least one security feature of the carrier substrate 2, in particular a watermark and / or a printed feature. The detected position of the security feature is transmitted to a computing unit 34, which determines position data corrected from the detected position data by means of an algorithm. By means of an actuator, not shown, the position of the carrier substrate 2 can be adapted to the corrected position data. The actuator can thus the position of the carrier substrate 2 in the plane relative to the positions of the subsequent units, in particular the punching unit 36 and / or the laser 32, for the production of

Correct control openings. The carrier substrate 2 is then transported into the punching unit 36 by means of which after the position correction control openings and / or in the

Ratio to the apertures produced by the laser 32

large window openings, as already explained above, can be introduced into the carrier substrate. It is also possible that the introduction of control openings by means of a laser.

Subsequently, the carrier substrate 2 of the application device 31 a is supplied by means of which, a decorative layer is applied to the carrier substrate 2. Again, the position of the carrier substrate 2 can be adjusted based on the corrected position data. Thereafter, the carrier substrate 2 is supplied to the laser 32 for breaking at least one layer of the carrier substrate 2. With regard to the configuration of the laser 32 is here on above

References.

Subsequently, the carrier substrate 2 is supplied to the application device 31 b by means of which a transparent plastic layer is applied to the underside of the carrier substrate 2.
