Definitions

  • Security element with two-dimensional nano structure and manufacturing methods for this security element
  • the invention relates to a security element for a value document, wherein the security element has a dielectric substrate in which a two-dimensional periodic nanostructure is formed, which has a multiplicity of base elements defining a ground plane and raised or lowered surface elements, between the base surface elements and the surface elements each have a perpendicular to the ground plane measured distance and formed between the base surface elements and the surface elements connecting flanks, the base elements and the surface elements are each covered with a metal layer which is thinner than the distance, and the base surface elements and the Surface elements in the nanostructure are alternately arranged in a regular pattern and in two directions, which are parallel to the ground plane, the associated period of arrangement of the surface elements between 100 n m and 450 nm.
  • the invention further relates to a production method for such a security element.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a two-dimensional, color-filtering structure which on the one hand has good color filter properties and on the other hand can be produced more simply.
  • the security element is designed for a document of value, a banknote paper or the like. It has a dielectric substrate. In the dielectric substrate, a two-dimensional periodic nanostructure is formed. This defines a large number of base elements that define a ground plane. Opposite the base surface elements are raised or lowered surface elements in the nanostructure. Between Base surface elements and the surface elements is a distance, whereby this is measured perpendicular to the ground plane. The basic surface elements and the surface elements are connected to one another by connecting flanks. The nanostructure can thus be designed, for example, by column-shaped elevations or depressions in the dielectric substrate. The base elements and the surface elements as well as the connecting flanks are covered with a metal layer which is thinner than the distance.
  • the nanostructure is consistently provided with the metal layer.
  • the base elements and the surface elements are alternately arranged in a regular pattern. Thus, they are periodic in two non-coincident directions that are parallel to the ground plane. The period directions can vary. Overall, the periods in which the surface elements are arranged lie between 100 nm and 450 nm, which leads to the concept of "nanostructure.”
  • a metal layer another high-index layer can be used the high-index layer as material, in particular silicon, zinc sulfide or titanium dioxide, is used in this description, the term “metallic” is understood to mean synonymous with “high-explosive", unless expressly described otherwise.
  • a closed metal film is formed on the nanostructure. It covers a large number of elevations and the intervening sections, in particular all flanks of the large number of elevations. Unlike in the prior art, in which elevations or depressions of the profile are metallically coated only on the plateaus, a closed metal film is now formed.
  • the thus metallized nanostructure reflects incident light in the zeroth diffraction order, wherein an interference effect occurs, which changes the color of the reflection, so that a color effect is created.
  • the uncoated nanostructure consists of a dielectric material which z. B. has a refractive index of about 1.5. In this case, plastic films are particularly suitable, for. As PET films, as a substrate.
  • the actual basic structure is z. B. also in plastic, preferably UV lacquer, formed or formed by thermoplastic deformation of the film. After evaporation, the structure is finally filled with UV varnish and laminated with a cover film.
  • plastic preferably UV lacquer, formed or formed by thermoplastic deformation of the film. After evaporation, the structure is finally filled with UV varnish and laminated with a cover film.
  • cover film there is a layer structure in which the top and the bottom has substantially the same refractive index.
  • the following materials are suitable for the metal layers: Al, Ag, Pt, Pd, Au, Cu, Cr and alloys thereof.
  • ZnS, ZnO, TiO 2 , ZnSe, SiO, Ta 2 Os or silicon are particularly suitable as high-index layers.
  • a dielectric with the nanostructure is first suitably structured and then coated over the entire surface. It is preferred that the nanostructure is embedded in a single-bed dielectric which preferably has the same refractive index as the dielectric of the substrate.
  • the refractive index can be between 1.4 and 1.6, for example. However, the same refractive index on the bottom and top of the structure is not mandatory for the desired optical effect.
  • the color effects of the two-dimensional nanostructure strongly depend on the periodicity of the pattern. This is utilized in further developments to produce colored symbols or images. This is the surface fill factor and / or the distance between the surface elements and base surface elements varies locally. In particular, it is possible, as from DE
  • 102011101635 Al known to design a group of several surface elements and base surface elements laterally with constant dimensions so that a desired color effect occurs. This group then forms a sub-pixel. Several sub-pixels are provided by appropriate geometric design with different color properties and then combined into one pixel. This allows a colored image representation. The different colors can be varied by the corresponding local variation of one or more of the parameters of the grid (distance between area elements and base area elements, periods of the pattern in two spatial directions and expansion of the area elements). Due to the pixel-by-pixel color mixture of basic colors, eg. RGB colors, in subpixel areas true color images can be made. The advantage of such structures over conventional printing technology is that very fine motif structuring can be carried out down to the micrometer range. Nevertheless, no elaborate patterning of metallizations, etc., is required because the metal layer can be formed throughout. This fine structuring is particularly suitable for applications in Moire magnification arrangements, as also described in DE 102011101635 Al.
  • the substrate with the coated two-dimensional periodic nanostructure can be used in particular in a security element for a value document.
  • it can be integrated in a security thread, tear thread, security tape, security strip, patch or label.
  • the security element provided with the grid can span transparent areas or recesses.
  • the substrate with the two-dimensional periodic nanostructure with closed metal film shows pronounced color effects in reflection.
  • the desired color can be adjusted by selecting structure parameters of the nanostructure. In question are the distance between surface elements and base surface elements, ie the height of the elevations or depressions. Also in question is the period or the different periods of the arrangements of elevations and depressions in the spatial directions parallel to the ground plane. Another possible parameter is the dimension of the surface elements and their geometric shape in plan view. This can be rotationally symmetrical.
  • the proportion of the expansion of the surface element in the period is also a variable parameter that has an influence on the color effect.
  • These parameters can, of course, be varied laterally beyond the security element in order to vary the color effect and thus create a motif.
  • the structures can be produced by simple embossing. Subsequently, a metallic coating, for example vapor deposition, takes place. This layer then no longer needs to be elaborately structured, but instead covers the nanostructure surface-to-surface.
  • the security element can be part of a precursor (eg banknote paper) which can not yet be processed to form a value document, which can additionally have further authenticity features, so that the later value documents have non-copyable authenticity features in order to enable authentication and undesired authenticity Prevent copies.
  • a precursor eg banknote paper

  • the profile is trapezoidal, rectangular in FIGS. 4A and 4B and curved in FIGS. 5A and 5B.

  • FIGS. 3A to 5B clearly show that the elevations 7 or depressions 8 in the surface elements are likewise provided with the metal layer, as on the flanks 4. Likewise, in the remaining base surface elements 9 of the base surface 5 provided the metal layer 6, the result is thus continuous and full-surface. If unpolarized light falls below the angle Q on the nanostructure 1, it is reflected in the zeroth diffraction order.
  • the grating period d is smaller than the wavelength of the visible light spectrum and is in the range between 100 nm and 450 nm.
  • the nanostructure 1 is periodic in two spatial directions in the ground plane 5. The period can be different in both directions. Periods with different periods can show a polarization effect.
  • the metal layer 6 has a refractive index v. It is embedded by the nanostructure 1 on the substrate 2 and a cover lamination 10 in a dielectric with the refractive index n. This is preferably a UV varnish which is located on a film, for example PET film, which forms the substrate 2.

  • this can be achieved by sputtering or ALD (atomic layer deposition).
  • ALD atomic layer deposition.
  • the rounded structure according to FIGS. 5A and 5B often also results from the production process, since strictly sharp-edged corners, as in FIGS. 3A and 3B, are very difficult to achieve in embossing processes in nanostructure fineness or not at all in practice.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 show possible patterns in which the elevations 7 or depressions 8 can be arranged.

  • Figures 11 and 12 show the basically same lattice structure, but now with depressions instead of elevations. For the grating 1), this results in the color orange, for the grid 2) the color red and for the grid 3) again the color orange.
