Definitions
- a document of value comprising a plastic substrate with a first surface and a second surface, wherein an opaque, first ink-acceptance layer provided with a recess is arranged on the first surface of the plastic substrate and an opaque, second ink-acceptance layer provided with a recess is arranged on the second surface of the plastic substrate is arranged and the two recesses form a window area of the document of value, the first surface of the plastic substrate having a colored thin-film element in the area of the opaque, first ink-accepting layer provided with a recess.
- viewing in incident light is illumination of the document of value from one side and viewing of the document of value from the same side. Viewing in incident light is thus present, for example, when the front side of the document of value is illuminated and also viewed.
- the present invention is based on the idea of equipping the transparent window of a document of value based on a plastic substrate, in particular a polymer bank note, with a colored thin-film element in order to improve security against forgery in this way.
- Colored thin-film elements the color impression of which changes for the viewer with the viewing angle (hereinafter referred to as the color shift effect), are known, for example, from WO 2009/080263 A2.
- the color shift effect in such thin-film elements is based on viewing angle-dependent interference effects due to multiple reflections in the various sub-layers of the element.
- the difference in the path of the light reflected on the various layers depends on the one hand on the optical thickness of a dielectric spacer layer (for example a Si0 2 layer), which determines the distance between a semitransparent absorber layer (for example a Cr layer) and a reflective layer (for example an Al layer), and on the other hand varies with the respective viewing angle.
- the two semitransparent metallic layers are preferably selected from Al or Ag;
- the dielectric layer is in particular an SiO2 layer or an MgF2 layer, preferably an SiO2 layer;
- the above-mentioned multilayer structures with two semitransparent metallic layers and a dielectric layer arranged between the two semitransparent metallic layers can have a symmetrical three-layer structure in which both the material and the layer thickness of the two semitransparent metallic layers are identical.
- the shape of the transparent window can be elegantly modulated by the opaque ink-acceptance layers applied to the front and back.
- transparent windows can be created.
- non-congruent, e.g. overlapping, recesses within the two opaque ink acceptance layers e.g. windows with a semi-transparent area and with a transparent area can be created.
- the colored thin-film element can also have a permanent carrier substrate, for example a plastic film.
- a permanent carrier substrate for example a plastic film.
- the total thickness of the document of value received at the end in the window area is increased in this way.
- a security element transfer material in the form of an endless material in which security elements are pre-cut in the desired outline shapes and the pre-cut elements can then be transferred to products to be secured without the risk of tearing the carrier material is known from WO 2010/031543 A1.
- the security element transfer material is an endless material, in particular a tape with a length of several hundred meters and a width of a few millimeters / centimeters up to several meters.
- the security element transfer material has a security element layer composite, ie the actual security element material, and a temporary carrier, ie the material on which the security elements are “stored”.
- the temporary carrier is based, for example, on a carrier layer composite consisting of a first and a second temporary carrier substrate, which are permanently glued by means of an adhesive layer.
- the security element layer composite is connected to a temporary carrier either directly or by means of a release layer.
- the release layer is of a conventional type and facilitates the detachment of the security elements from the temporary carrier during the transfer process to an object of value.
- the temporary carrier is located on the side of the security element layer composite which, after the transfer of the security elements, faces a viewer.
- temporary carrier substrates expresses that these carrier substrates are in the In contrast to the "permanent" carrier substrate, they are not part of the security elements.
