Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element for protecting documents of value with a carrier, a layer structure arranged on the carrier via an embossing lacquer layer and an adhesive layer suitable for bonding the security element to an object of value, the layer structure comprising opaque, metallic areas, semi-transparent areas that an observer convey a different color impression when viewed in reflected light and when viewed in transmitted light, and has transparent areas.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing such a security element and a data carrier with such a security element.
- Data carriers such as value or identification documents, or other valuables, such as branded items, are often provided with security elements for protection, which allow the authenticity of the data carrier to be checked and which at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- Security elements with effects that depend on the viewing angle play a special role in securing authenticity, as these cannot be reproduced even with the most modern copiers.
- the security elements are equipped with optically variable elements that give the viewer a different image impression from different viewing angles and, for example, show a different color or brightness impression and/or a different graphic motif depending on the viewing angle.
- the color-shift effect is based on viewing-angle-dependent interference effects due to multiple reflections in the various sub-layers of the element.
- the path difference of the light reflected from the different layers depends on the one hand on the optical thickness of a dielectric spacer layer, which defines the distance between a semitransparent absorber layer and a reflection layer, and on the other hand varies with the respective viewing angle. Since the path difference is of the order of magnitude of the wavelength of visible light, an angle-dependent color impression results for the viewer due to the extinction and amplification of certain wavelengths.
- a large number of different color shift effects can be designed by a suitable choice of material and thickness of the dielectric spacer layer.
- security elements with multilayer thin-layer elements which appear in a first color when viewed in reflected light, ie in reflection, and in a second color when viewed in transmitted light, ie in transmission.
- the WO 2011/082761 A1 describes a thin film element with a multilayer structure that appears gold when viewed in reflected light and blue when viewed in transmitted light.
- the multilayer structure is based on two semi-transparent mirror layers and a dielectric spacer layer arranged between the two mirror layers.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a security element of the type mentioned at the outset with a high degree of protection against counterfeiting and an attractive visual appearance.
- observation in incident light is illumination of the data carrier from one side and observation of the data carrier from the same side.
- Observation in reflected light is therefore present, for example, when the front side of the data carrier is illuminated and also viewed.
- viewing in transmitted light is illuminating a data carrier from one side and viewing the data carrier from another side, in particular the opposite side.
- An observation in transmitted light is therefore present, for example, when the back of the data carrier is illuminated and the front of the data carrier is viewed. The light thus shines through the data carrier.
- the data carrier substrate of the data carrier eg a value document substrate such as a banknote substrate
- a value document substrate such as a banknote substrate
- a paper substrate or a paper-like substrate e.g. a paper substrate or a polymer substrate, a paper/foil/paper composite substrate or a foil/paper/foil composite substrate.
- a document of value or security paper provided with a window area can be produced in the case of a paper substrate, a paper/foil/paper composite substrate or a foil/paper/foil composite substrate, for example by means of a continuous gap within the paper layer(s).
- the paper layer can be made transparent in a certain area by means of a suitable liquid, for example by means of an aqueous sulfuric acid solution.
- Window area can be generated, for example, by means of congruent recesses in the opaque print layers applied to the front and back of the polymer substrate.
- a carrier i.e. a carrier substrate such as a film
- an embossing lacquer layer with an embossed relief structure and a layer structure that contains opaque, metallic areas, semi-transparent areas that are visible to a viewer when viewed in reflected light and give a different color impression when viewed in transmitted light, and has transparent areas.
- the opaque, metallic areas are formed in particular by means of a metallization or reflection layer obtainable, for example, by vapor deposition, preferably by an aluminum layer. In principle, however, other metals such as silver, nickel, copper, iron, chromium or gold can also be used for the metallization. Alternatively, the opaque, metallic areas can be formed by a reflective layer that can be obtained by printing.
- suitable platelet-shaped metal pigments are from WO 2013/186167 A2 , WO 2010/069823 A1 , WO 2005/051675 A2 (see, for example, the description on page 11, line 10, to page 12, penultimate paragraph) and WO 2011/064162 A2 known.
- the platelet-shaped metal pigments described therein have the advantage that they adapt so well to a substrate with a relief structure, in particular a relief with microstructures and/or nanostructures, that the difference to a conventional metallization obtainable by vapor deposition is almost no longer discernible.
- the simple, typographical production of the reflective layer makes it possible to dispense with complex ones Process steps such as printing the carrier with a soluble wash ink in the form of a desired recess within the reflective layer to be produced, producing a metallization by vapor deposition and washing off the wash ink together with the metallization applied above the wash ink.
- the layer structure of the security element according to the invention according to a first variant has opaque, metallic areas, semi-transparent areas that give a viewer a different color impression when viewed in reflected light and when viewed in transmitted light, and transparent areas, with both the transparent areas and the opaque, metallic areas are each formed in the form of patterns, characters or coding and the semi-transparent areas represent a background.
- the layer structure of the security element according to the invention according to a second variant has opaque, metallic areas, semi-transparent areas that give a viewer a different color impression when viewed in reflected light and when viewed in transmitted light, and transparent areas, with both the transparent areas and the semi-transparent areas are each formed in the form of patterns, characters or a code and the opaque metallic areas represent a background.
- both variants are based on the general idea of providing a security element in which two separate areas are each formed in the form of patterns, characters or a code, with an area formed in the form of patterns, characters or a code depending on how it is viewed in reflected light or in Transmitted light has a different color impression.
- the one area formed in the form of patterns, characters or a code is initially not perceptible when viewed in reflected light, but only when viewed in transmitted light.
- the color of the semi-transparent areas is identical to the color of the opaque, metallic areas when viewed in reflected light. Information hidden when viewed in incident light, which is only recognizable when viewed in transmitted light, increases the viewer's interest and increases the counterfeit security of the respective object of value.
- the semi-transparent areas which give a viewer a different color impression when viewed in reflected light and when viewed in transmitted light, are based in particular on a multi-layer structure with two semi-transparent metallic layers and a dielectric layer arranged between the two semi-transparent metallic layers.
- a multi-layer structure which appears gold when viewed in reflected light and shows a blue hue when viewed in transmitted light, is, for example, from WO 2011/082761 A1 known.
- the semi-transparent areas which give a viewer a different color impression when viewed in reflected light and when viewed in transmitted light, can also be obtained by means of an effect pigment composition.
- Print layers based on an effect pigment composition which when viewed in reflected light show a different color than when viewed in transmitted light, in particular a gold/blue color change, a gold/violet color change, a green-gold/magenta color change, a violet/green color change or a silver/opaque color change, for example in the WO 2011/064162 A2 described.
- the pigments preferably have a longest dimension of edge length end-to-end in a range of 15 nm to 1000 nm and are based on a transition metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ag, Au , Zn, Cd, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir and Pt.
- the transition metal is preferably Ag.
- the aspect ratio i.e. the ratio of the longest end-to-end dimension to the thickness
- the ratio of binder to metal pigment is preferably below 10: 1, especially below 5:1.
- the color when viewed in transmission and the color when viewed in reflection of the print layer can be adjusted (e.g. blue in transmission and silver, gold, bronze, copper or violet in reflection; also violet, magenta, pink, green or brown in transmission and various colors in reflection depending on the choice of pigment/binder ratio).
- Colors with gold/blue color change between reflection and transmission are, for example, in Examples 1, 2 and 3 in Table 1 of WO 2011/064162 A2 called.
- example 4 shows a gold/violet color change color, example 5 a green-gold/magenta color change color, example 7 a violet/green color change color and example 8 a silver/opaque color change color.
- the security element according to the invention can in particular be designed as a so-called laminate film in which the carrier or the carrier substrate is firmly anchored with the embossing lacquer layer.
- the laminate film which is present in particular in the form of a patch, a strip or a thread, can then be applied to a value-document substrate together with the carrier.
- a window or a recess in the value-document substrate can be closed in this way.
- the security element according to the invention can be designed as a so-called transfer film in which the carrier or the carrier substrate is not firmly anchored with the embossing lacquer layer but can be detached from the embossing lacquer layer.
- the transfer film which is present in particular in the form of a patch, a strip or a thread, can be applied to a value-document substrate without the carrier substrate of the transfer film remaining on the value-document substrate.
- Such a procedure is particularly suitable in the case that the value document substrate to be equipped with the security element is a polymer substrate. In this way the layer thickness in the product obtained is not too high.
- the security element according to the invention according to the above, further advantageous variant can in particular be designed in such a way that the semi-transparent areas are based on a multi-layer structure which appears gold-colored when viewed in reflected light and shows a blue hue when viewed in transmitted light, with part of the semi-transparent Areas are additionally provided with a metallization, e.g. obtainable by vapor deposition, or is printed with platelet-shaped metal pigments in order to form silver, metallic, opaque areas in this way.
- a metallization e.g. obtainable by vapor deposition
- the embossing lacquer layer has only weak adhesion to the carrier substrate if a transfer film is present This can be achieved, for example, by poor adhesion of the embossing lacquer to the carrier substrate or by introducing a special separating layer.
- the security element according to the invention can additionally be equipped with magnetic and/or fluorescent security features.
- the invention further relates to a data carrier with a security element of the type described above.
- the data carrier can be a document of value, such as a banknote, in particular a paper banknote, a polymer banknote or a foil composite banknote, a share, a bond, a certificate, a voucher , a cheque, a high-value ticket, but also an identity card, such as a credit card, a bank card, a cash card, a Trade an authorization card, an ID card or a passport personalization page.
