Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing an optically variable element and to a corresponding element.
- Data carriers such as security documents or ID documents, but also other valuables, such as branded goods, are often provided with elements for the purpose of security, which permit verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- Optically variable elements show different representations to a viewer depending on the viewing angle.
- an embossed structure and a contrasting coating such optically variable elements can be produced.
- the embossed structure and the coating are coordinated so that different subjects become visible (or not visible) to the observer under different viewing angles or a motif moves.
- WO 02/20280 A1 WO 2006/018232 A1 or DE 10 2014 012207 A1 show coated embossed structures with motif change.
- the invention has for its object to provide a flexible but cost-effective production method for optically variable elements, which in particular also allows to create optically variable elements on the target substrate. This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- a basic idea of the present solution is to additively produce the relief elements of a relief structure, which are conventionally produced by embossing, by means of printing in several sub-steps.
- the approach turns out to be advantageous.
- a relief structure is created and the created relief structure selectively modified, for example, colored.
- the relief structure comprises a multiplicity of relief elements which lie next to one another in a plane and have a relief shape which is not parallel to the plane.
- the created relief structure is selectively modified.
- the modification and the relief shape of the relief elements are coordinated with one another such that for a viewer the modified relief structure shows different representations depending on the viewing angle.
- the relief structure is at least partially created by means of an additive method, wherein for relief elements in each case a plurality of sub-steps of the additive method are carried out and the sub-steps, the relief shape of the relief element is determined.
- the relief elements may, for example, be pimples, cones, pyramids (with a quadrangular or polygonal floor plan), truncated pyramids (with a four- or n-square layout), truncated cone, round nubb or gelabrough be formed.
- the relief elements may have a directional surface as a relief shape.
- the relief element with a directed surface may be, for example, a round or n-shaped, preferably quadrangular or hexagonal, surface.
- the surface elements are preferably arranged adjacent to one another and / or gap-filling. The surface can be described by its orientation and its inclination (to the plane of the relief structure) and optionally by its height in relief.
- the relief element can be designed as a relief line, for example roof-shaped with two flanks or with a round cross-section.
- the relief elements are preferably arranged side by side in a (one or) two-dimensional relief grid.
- the relief elements can be arranged in the relief frame at a distance or without spacing.
- the relief elements with the relief shape (which is not parallel to the plane of the relief elements) have locally different heights. Due to the additive substeps, the relief element becomes locally different
- the height profile of the relief elements is insofar the generated relief shape.
- the relief form of the relief elements in the first embodiments is uniform.
- the relief elements are formed differently only by the modification.
- Previously are relief elements with identical relief form in the relief structure next to each other.
- the relief shapes of the relief elements already differ from each other in the relief structure.
- the relief elements differ, but the different relief elements do not yet form an optically variable structure. It is only through the selective modification of the relief elements that the observer recognizes the visual variability.
- the relief elements of a relief structure may differ in their relief shape or size (or base area).
- the relief elements in a relic ef Design may be different areas or different in a repeating pattern, each different in terms of relief shape and / or size.
- the sub-steps for generating the relief shape are preferably carried out by means of additive printing.
- additive printing it is possible to print by means of an inkjet process, wherein preferably (UV) curable ink is printed and (UV) cured.
- the creation of the relief elements can also be done by means of (laser) stereolithography.
- the relief shape could be generated additively by means of selective laser sintering when creating the relief elements.
- the sub-steps of creating can also be done by screen printing or gravure.
- screen printing or gravure printing relief elements are preferably produced with a height of 20-80 ⁇ / s.
- Several round-round or flat-flat screen printing steps can be combined. For example, in a first partial step, a relief partial element or a screen printing layer with a thickness of 30 ⁇ m is produced.
- the modification is printed as a color layer on the structures (by means of, for example, inkjet, offset, gravure printing).
- the same material is added in the substeps.
- the sub-steps within the relief element can be executed differently.
- the substeps may be performed differently with respect to the amount of added material and / or with respect to a process parameter for the added material.
- a process parameter in particular a temperature and / or a curing of a curable material can be varied.
- the material preferably has higher temperature increased viscosity.
- the added material can be cured differently in the partial steps, for example immediately completely cured, pre-cured or uncured.
- the material applied in the partial steps is preferably a radiation-hardening material (UV / IR-curing).
- the material is opaque, but in embodiments, transparent material can also be used.
- the material is - at least on its surface - shiny or reflective, especially metallic reflective.
- the relief element can thus be made reflective or by a reflective coating. It is also conceivable, first apply first material and only in final substeps (for the visible surface of the relief element) to use reflective material.
- the coating can be a smoothing coating and / or a coating and / or a reflective coating.
- the relief partial elements of at least one relief element, preferably several relief elements in one area, particularly preferably all relief elements of the relief structure, are coated together.
- the relief elements are created in several preforming substeps with a first relief material and in a final, smoothing sub-step created with a second smoothing relief material.
- the preforming and smoothing sub-steps thus form the shaping sub-steps for the relief element.
- the smoothing relief material (or the coating) may include coloring / effect pigments and / or reflective pigments.
- the pigments in the material are floating. Floating pigments are also referred to as leafing pigments. The pigments thus accumulate after application of the material on top of the binder.
- Selective dyeing of the relief structure can be effected in particular by printing or lasering.
- the added material may be a laser-sensitive material in (some or all of) sub-steps. Alternatively, a coating with laser-sensitive material.
- the selective modification takes place in particular in a modification grid, which is adapted to the grid of the relief elements. Only preferred are the rasters identical. The selective modification can also take place by means of further additive substeps. Reference is made, for example, to DE 102011114647 AI.
- the selective modification is preferably carried out by printing lines on the relief structure in at least one color, particularly preferably alternately different monochrome.
- the lines occupy between 40-90% of the surface of the additively generated relief element or the relief structure.
- the different colored lines, in the CIE-LAB color space differ in their hue.
- Particularly preferred is the difference between the shades of adjacent lines by at least 40 units for the values
- the step of selectively modifying makes the relief structure optically variable.
- a change of subject and / or motive movement can thereby be generated for the viewer.
- the subject shown may disappear (or become visible to the observer) or switch to another subject or move.
- pumping movements, rotating movements or linear movements are known as movements.
- the relief structure may include a embossing portion and a formative portion created thereon.
- the embossed portion of the relief elements is formed from identical embossing elements. Starting from a uniform embossed structure can thus be formed a relief structure with different relief elements.
- the uniform embossed structure is supplemented only in a range additive to the relief structure.
- the embossed portion of the relief elements may also be formed from different embossing elements.
- an embossed structure with differently oriented flat relief elements can be provided in a region with the relief portion.
- the height of the relief elements is between 5 and 500 ⁇ .
- a height of the relief element of 100 ⁇ to 300 ⁇ ⁇ is generated. More preferably, the relief element has an edge with slopes of 5 to 85 degrees, more preferably from 40 to 85 degrees.
- the present method can also be used to create relief elements with novel relief shapes. The partial steps generate the locally different height of the relief elements. In contrast to the embossing but now also an undercut can be generated. Embossed elements can be created with relief shapes or partial surfaces in the angular range of +/- 90 degrees to the plane of the elements. Maximum vertical (90 degrees) can in particular be a side wall of the embossed relief element.
- the relief structure comprises at least two relief elements with a relief shape, which have an angle of more than 90 degrees to the plane in a section, wherein the two sections have different, preferably opposite, orientations.
- a primer is first applied, for example sprayed on, before the relief material is applied additively.
- the primer causes a smoothing and / or better adhesion.
- the optically variable element comprises additional information which can be recognized by means of UV or IR light.
- the relief material, the material of the modification or the imprint are IR and / or UV active (in particular absorbent or luminescent).
- the relief structure may comprise, in addition to the additively created relief elements, further relief elements which have been produced in particular by means of (blind) embossing or intaglio printing.

- the same relief material is preferably printed one above the other in succession in the three partial steps.
- the relief partial elements 31, 32, 33 have been generated differently, so in particular are not identical in shape.
- the relief partial element 31 was at higher Temperature (and thus greater viscosity of the material) and optionally produced with a larger amount of material. Due to the increased viscosity, a flat and wide relief partial element 31 forms.
- the partial relief element 32 was generated at a second (eg normal) temperature and optionally with a second amount.
- the relief element 10 comprises at least the three overlapping relief partial elements, which are recognizable in cross section. It can be seen that the relief shape of the relief element 10 is determined by the substeps of the additive method.

- the smoothing coating 45 takes place.
- the coating comprises floating, reflecting pigments 46. The pigments therefore accumulate on the binder 47 on the upper side of the coating 45. A surface which reflects in a particularly well-directed manner is formed.
- FIGS. 5 to 7 show variants in which relief elements 11, 12 are created completely additively (FIG. 5) or are formed from a stamping component and an additive-produced component (FIGS. 6 and 7).
- Fig. 5a shows in cross-section - along the line A of Fig. 5b - two relief elements 11 and 12. Both relief elements are formed in substeps additive from the relief sub-elements 51, 52 and 53. The partial steps are adapted so that the relief element 11 has a first inclination angle (35 degrees) and the relief element 12 has a second inclination angle (25 degrees). The orientation of the adjacent relief elements 11, 12, as indicated in Fig. 5b by the arrows, identical. Both relief elements are completely created by additive substeps.

- a parameter of the printing process can be varied during printing. In particular, temperature and amount of material are such parameters.
- the relief material is curable, so it is added and then cured by the relief pressure unit. The degree of hardening forms another parameter which can be used flexibly.
- An optional curing unit useful in two-stage curing is not shown, but may be used to fully cure the relief elements individually pre-cured in the embossing units 81, 82 and 83, particularly before the selective modification takes place.
- a motif printing unit 86 selectively prints at certain positions a motif that is visually variable by the relief structure for the viewer.
- the ink of the relief printing unit comprises a liquid, low-viscous and optionally pigmented substance prepared by using a die-coating technique, e.g. the ink-jet technique is applied. It is modified in its aggregate state, preferably hardened. This happens e.g. physically by solvent removal and / or chemically by polymerization or UV curing to a solid material.
- the printing units it is optionally possible to use different materials, which differ in particular primarily with respect to their viscosity.
- a uniform base material is used, which is different viscous by different admixtures.
- the first printing unit 81 can apply a viscous material with a large-diameter printing nozzle and a high-viscosity material in the printing unit 83 with a smaller printing nozzle.
- the applied material comprises a solvent which evaporates after application.
- this spatial distance is selectively adjustable according to the required time interval in the y- and / or x-direction by variably placeable pressure or spray heads and / or traverses.
- individual material layers are cured by means of laser and the workpiece is built up layer by layer.
- the powder is applied to a building platform with the aid of a doctor blade or roller over the entire surface in a thickness of 1 to 200 ⁇ .
- the layers are sintered or melted step by step into the powder bed by triggering a laser beam corresponding to the layer contour of the component.
- the build platform is now slightly lowered and a new layer raised.
- the powder is made available by lifting a powder platform or as a stock in the squeegee.
- the processing is done layer by layer in vertical direction, which makes it possible to create also undercut contours.
- the energy that is supplied by the laser is absorbed by the powder and leads to a locally limited sintering of particles while reducing the total surface area. This creates any three-dimensional geometries that allow flank angles with undercuts.
- the deformed plate After cooling, the deformed plate retains the given shape.
- plates are used in thicknesses of 0.3 to 10 mm. This means that everything from light packaging to stable objects is possible. Lich. After formation of the nub structure, inkjet-resolved, color-resolved information can be applied to the material, which in turn generates tilt-dependent optical variability.
