Definitions
- the invention relates to a grating image with achromatic grating areas.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing such a grating image as well as a security element, a security paper and a data carrier with such a grating image.
- holograms To protect the authenticity of credit cards, banknotes and other valuable documents, holograms, holographic lattice images or other hologram-like diffraction structures have been used for some years.
- holographic diffraction structures are used in the banknote and security sector, which can be produced by embossing holographically generated lattice images in thermoplastically deformable plastics or UV-curable lacquers on film substrates.
- Real holograms are formed by illuminating an object with coherent laser light and superposing the laser light scattered by the object with an uninfluenced reference beam in a photosensitive layer.
- So-called holographic diffraction gratings are obtained when the light beams superimposed in the photosensitive layer consist of spatially extended, uniform, coherent wave fields.
- the photosensitive layer for example a photographic film or a photoresist layer
- a holographic diffraction grating which can be preserved in the form of light and dark lines in a photographic film or in the form of mountains and valleys in a photoresist layer.
- holographic diffraction gratings can be formed by not covering the entire surface of the photosensitive material with a uniform holographic diffraction grating, but by using suitable masks to respectively cover only parts of the receiving surface with one of several different uniform lattice patterns occupy.
- Such a holographic grating image is thus composed of several areas with different diffraction grating patterns, which are usually adjacent to each other in a flat, strip-shaped or pixel-like design. By suitable arrangement of the areas can be with such a holographic lattice image
- the diffraction grating patterns can be produced not only by direct or indirect optical superposition of coherent laser beams but also by electron lithography. Frequently, a pattern diffraction structure is generated, which is then converted into a relief structure. This relief structure can be used as a stamping tool.
- WO2005 / 071444 A2 describes grating fields with grating lines which are characterized by the parameters orientation, curvature, spacing and profiling, at least one of which varies the parameter over the surface of the grating field. If one of the parameters varies randomly, we speak of so-called matt structures. These show when viewed no diffractive effects, but scattering effects and have a dull, preferably no color showy appearance. The matt structures show the same appearance with pure scattering effects from all viewing angles.
- the present invention seeks to further improve lattice images of the type mentioned, and in particular under Maintaining the previous advantages grid images with new optical effects to create and / or to further increase the anti-counterfeiting of the lattice images.
- the grating image comprises achromatic grating regions which have a viewing angle-dependent appearance, resulting in a visually apparent moving effect as the viewing angle changes, in which the achromatic grating regions apparently move on a trajectory with a particular direction and velocity.
- the achromatic grating areas have a matt - preferably silvery matte - non-colored appearance, which changes depending on the viewing angle. It could also be said that the achromatic grating areas are matt structures, but - in contrast to the prior art - have a viewing angle-dependent appearance.
- the change may consist in the change of the optical brightness or else consist in a grating area being visible under a certain viewing angle and not being visible at a different viewing angle.
- the respective achromatic grating region of the grating image contains a grating pattern influencing electromagnetic radiation with grating lines, which are characterized by the parameters orientation, curvature, spacing and profiling and for which at least the parameter orientation over the area of the grating area randomly, preferably randomly varies in a sudden jump in a limited angular range.
- said grating region contains a grating pattern influencing electromagnetic radiation from uninterrupted grating lines.
- Diffraction understood the deviation from the rectilinear propagation of the light, which is not caused by refraction, reflection or scattering, but which occurs when light hits obstacles such as columns, apertures, edges or the like. Diffraction is a typical wave phenomenon and therefore strongly wavelength dependent and always associated with interference. It is to be distinguished in particular from the processes of reflection and refraction, which can be accurately described with the image of geometric light rays. Did you have it with diffraction at very many To do this with statistically distributed objects, it has become customary to speak of scattering instead of diffraction on irregularly distributed objects.
- Scattering refers to the deflection of part of a bundled wave radiation from its original direction when passing through matter due to interaction with one or more scattering centers.
- Scattering of light on objects with a size in the range of the light wavelength and below is also usually wavelength-dependent, such as the Rayleigh scattering or the Mie scattering. From an object size exceeding ten times the wavelength, one usually speaks of non-selective scattering in which all wavelengths are affected approximately equally.
- non-selective scattering can also be achieved with smaller objects if the objects have only an irregular distribution and a suitable bandwidth of object sizes, since then the wavelength-dependent properties of the individual objects are found out over the entire ensemble.
- a random, in particular a random and erratic variation of the orientation in a restricted angular range is understood to mean the following.
- the orientation of the grid lines in a grid pattern influencing electromagnetic radiation can theoretically extend over an angular range of +/- 90 ° in a Cartesian coordinate system.
- the angle that determines the orientation is the acute angle between the x-axis and the observed grid line. Do all grid lines have the same orientation? - So the same angle in the coordinate system - on, the lines are parallel and it is a pure diffraction grating. If the grid lines are completely randomly oriented over the entire angular range, all grid lines are randomly distributed and no preferred orientation can be determined.
- the grid pattern shows pure scattering effects and thus no viewing angle dependent effects. Such lattice patterns are called matt structures. If the orientation varies randomly, but within a limited angular range, ie within an angle range within the specified limits of + 90 ° and - 90 °, the grid pattern shows a certain regularity. The grid pattern shows a more or less strong preference orientation so that the observer perceives the grid pattern differently depending on his viewing angle.
- the orientation preferably varies in an angular range of +/- 10 ° or less, more preferably in a range of +/- 5 ° or less, most preferably in a range of +/- 3 ° or less.
- each grating area thus has a central orientation which defines the viewing angle at which the grating area is visually recognizable.
- a grating region having such a grating pattern exhibits a viewing angle dependent appearance, i. that the grating area due to the scattering effects a dull appearance, but this is due to the diffraction effects viewing angle dependent.
- an achromatic grating region can vary depending on the viewing angle in the optical brightness or even only from a certain angle visible and not visible from other angles substantially.
- achromatic grating areas in the grating image apparently move on a trajectory with a certain direction and speed when the viewing angle is changed
- achromatic grating areas the mean orientations of which are rotated by a specific value
- the value of the average orientation of successively arranged grating areas thus increases or decreases.
- the mean orientations of the individual lattice patterns differ by at least 2 °, particularly preferably by at least 5 °, very particularly preferably by at least 10 °.
- the mean orientations in the lattice image are preferably in the range of +/- 60 °.
- the direction of the movement depends, among other things, on the mean orientation.
- the speed of the movement depends on the difference between the mean orientations.
- the number of achromatic grating areas should be at least 3.
- at least 5 achromatic grating regions are present.
- the achromatic grating regions may preferably be arranged directly adjacent to or spaced from each other on an imaginary line or curve. Particularly preferably, the achromatic grating regions are arranged directly adjacent to one another on a straight line. During tilting or rotational movements by the viewer, the achromatic grating areas appear, for example, with different optical brightness or are only visible under the respectively desired viewing angle. The viewer then has the visual impression of a moving on the line or curve achromatic grid area.
- the achromatic grating regions may alternatively also be arranged concentrically. Again, these may be directly adjacent or spaced. Preferably, the achromatic grating regions are directly adjacent.
- the different achromatic grating areas appear, for example, with different optical brightness or are only visible under the respective desired viewing angle.
- the observer then has the visual impression of an achromatic grating area moving toward a center or moving away from a center.
- the achromatic grating region itself can assume any conceivable geometric shape. Pixel-like, annular, stripe or punctiform formations are just as conceivable as figurative figures. Preferably, the achromatic grating regions are each separately recognizable with the naked eye.
- the grating lines are advantageously produced by electron beam lithography. This technique makes it possible to produce lattice images in which each individual grid line can be unambiguously determined by the parameters orientation, curvature, spacing and profiling.
- said lattice image contains, in addition to the achromatic lattice regions, diffractive lattice structures, such as linear lattices, sub-wavelength lattices, moth-eye structures, etc. Preferably, these are sinusoidal lattices.
- diffractive grating structures and achromatic grating regions can be realized within an electron beam lithographically generated grating image.
- the diffractive grating structures have a viewing angle-dependent color and are arranged so that they move apparently on a trajectory with a certain direction and speed when changing the viewing angle.
- the diffractive grating structures may preferably be arranged directly adjacent or spaced apart on an imaginary line or curve. Particularly preferably, the diffractive grating structures are arranged directly adjacent to a straight line. When tilted or rotated by the viewer, the diffractive grating structures appear to be e.g. with different colors or are only visible under the respective desired angle. The observer then has the visual impression of a colored, geometric shape moving on the line or curve.
- the diffractive grating structures may alternatively also be arranged concentrically. Again, these may be directly adjacent or spaced. Preferably, the diffractive grating structures are directly adjacent.
- the different diffractive grating structures appear, for example, with different colors or are only visible under the respective desired viewing angle. The observer then has the visual impression of a grid structure moving toward a center or moving away from a center.
- the diffractive lattice structure itself can assume any conceivable geometric form. Pixel-like, annular, stripe or punctiform formations are just as conceivable as figurative figures.
- achromatic grating regions and diffractive grating structures are matched to one another visually or in terms of design.
- complement achromatic grating areas and diffractive grating structures to a pictorial whole.
- concentric achromatic grating regions combined with concentric or linearly arranged diffractive grating structures in a grating image.
- the range of grid line spacings in the grid regions is preferably between about 0.1 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m, particularly preferably between 0.5 ⁇ m and 1.5 ⁇ m.
- the grid line spacings in a grid area can be constant, but can also vary randomly, preferably randomly.
- the grating lines have a line profile depth between about 100 nm and about 400 nm.
- the grid lines preferably have a sine profile.
- the occupation density of an achromatic grating area with grating lines can be used to control its optical brightness. Depending on how much the grid lines fill a certain area, this leads to lighter or darker matt surfaces. A surface less filled with grid lines exhibits a less pronounced matt-textured effect, so the surface appears darker to an observer than an area more heavily filled with grid lines.
- the brightness of the surface covered with lattice patterns can be controlled, so that the relative brightness of differently bright-acting surface regions can be selectively varied.
- the grating image itself is preferably coated with a reflective or high refractive index material.
- Reflective materials are all metals and many metal alloys into consideration. Examples of suitable high-index materials are CaS, CrCh, ZnS, TiO 2 or SiO x .

- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- achromatic grating areas and color-shifting thin-film structures are very difficult to falsify, as the technologies for producing these elements are extremely difficult to obtain.
- the design of the achromatic grating areas and the thin-film structure can be precisely matched to each other, so that completely new optical effects can be achieved.
- the lattice images according to the invention can be combined with further optical and / or machine-readable security elements.
- the lattice image can be combined with further functional layers, such as sierende, phas ⁇ nverschiebende, conductive, magnetic or luminescent de layers are equipped.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a banknote with embedded security thread and glued transfer element, each according to an embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows in (a) a grid pattern with grid lines which have a random variation in the orientation, in (b) a grid pattern with grid lines which have a random variation in a restricted angle range, FIG.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross section through a security element with thin-film structure.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a banknote 10, which has two security elements according to the invention, namely a security thread 12 and a glued-on support element 16.
- the security thread 12 is formed as a window security thread which protrudes in certain window areas 14 on the surface of the banknote 10, while it is embedded in the intervening areas inside the banknote 10.
- Both security elements 12, 16 are equipped with grid images of the type described below.
- FIG. 1 The general shape of an achromatic grating region is illustrated in FIG.
- FIG. 2 (a) shows a grating field 20 disclosed in WO2005 / 071444 A2 with a grating pattern whose grating lines 22 are oriented completely randomly with respect to one another so that the parameter orientation varies randomly and abruptly over the surface of the grating field 20.
- a grid pattern influencing electromagnetic radiation produces a matt structure which has the same appearance from all viewing angles.
- the Cartesian coordinate system with x- and y-axis is of course not part of the grid field, but should serve only as an aid for estimating the orientations for the individual grid lines.
- Fig. 2 (b) shows an achromatic grating region in which the orientation of the grating lines also varies randomly, but not completely randomly over the entire possible angular range, as shown in Fig. 2 (a), but in a limited angular range, in this case of +/- 30 °.
- the angle to be read results in a simple manner in that the zero point of the coordinate system is shifted horizontally or vertically so that the grid line concerned comes to rest at zero. Then the acute angle between - Lö ⁇
- the grid line and the x-axis which lies in the first and second quadrant, respectively. If the angle is in the first quadrant, its value is positive. If it is in the second quadrant, the value is negative.
- the grid lines 26, 28 are already arranged at the zero point of the coordinate system. All other grid lines have angles which are within the desired angular range. For clarity, only the grid lines 27, 29, 31 were drawn. Depending on the desired brightness of the grid area, the occupation density should be selected accordingly. In the present embodiment, the grid line pitches are not constant.
- Fig. 3 shows a grating image according to the invention, in which achromatic grating regions 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 in the form of small squares with an edge length of 2 mm are arranged directly next to one another and thus result in a strip-like structure.
- the average orientation of the individual grating areas is indicated in FIG. 3 by arrows in the grating areas and designed such that they have the value -40 ° in grating area 31, -20 ° in grating area 32, 0 ° in grating area 33
- Grating region 34 has the value 20 ° and in the grating region 35 has the value 40 °.
- Each grid area can only be seen at a certain viewing angle.
- the occupancy density is equal to grating lines in all grating areas, so that they appear to a viewer with the same brightness.
- FIG. 4 shows a grating image in which annular, achromatic grating areas are combined with strip-like, diffractive sine grids.
- the achromatic Grid areas 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 are arranged concentrically.
- the mean orientation of the grating region 41 has the value -60 °, the grating region 42 the value -30 °, the grating region 43 the value 0 °, the grating region 44 the value + 30 ° and the grating region 45 the value + 60 °.
- the occupation density of the grid areas with grid lines is the same.
- it is also possible to set different brightness levels in the grid areas by changing the occupation density in the individual grid areas.
- diffractive grating structures 46, 47, 48, 49 which should have a certain color depending on the viewing angle.
- the observer has the following picture.
- a silvery dull, ring-shaped structure and colored, rectangular shapes run towards and away from a center.
- the matt and colored areas can run simultaneously to the center or even while the matte areas run into the center, the colored areas can run away from this.
- FIG. 5 shows a security element 50 with the lattice image 57 according to the invention shown in FIG. 4 and a thin-layer structure 56 applied over the entire surface.
- a lacquer 52 was applied to a transparent foil material 51, into which the lattice image 57 was introduced.
- a thin-film structure was vapor-deposited over the whole area, which in this case consists of an absorber layer 53, a high-index dielectric layer 54 and a reflective layer 55. The layers of the thin film construction were applied by the vacuum vapor method.
