Definitions
- the invention relates to a security element for securing data carriers, a method for producing such a security element, a correspondingly equipped data carrier and a method for producing the same.
- Data carriers such as security documents or identity documents, but also other valuables, such as branded articles, are often provided with security features for securing purposes, which permit verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- gloss or effect pigments are also used in other areas of technology, such as car paints, decorative coatings or cosmetic formulations.
- Black luster pigments often have a particular appeal here because the contrast of black color and luster is visually attractive on the one hand and the dark appearance on the other can provide a suitable background for a variety of optical effects, such as the color shift effects of interference layer systems or liquid crystal layers. Based on this, the present invention seeks to provide a security element of the type mentioned above with attractive visual appearance and high security against counterfeiting.
- a security element of the aforementioned type comprises a three-layered thin-film element comprising a reflection layer, an absorber layer and a dielectric spacer layer arranged between the reflection layer and the absorber layer, in which the reflection layer, the absorber layer and the dielectric spacer layer are matched to one another, that the thin-film element for viewing from the absorber layer side at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range has a very low reflection and appears black.
- the reflection of the thin-film element for viewing from the absorber layer side is preferably below 20%, preferably below 15%, particularly preferably below 10%, at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range.
- the thin-film element for viewing from the absorber layer side in the entire visible spectral range and at all viewing angles on no reflection maximum.
- the thin-film element for viewing from the absorber layer side has a reflection maximum in the ultraviolet spectral range, which can be used as a characteristic authenticity mark and detected with suitable spectroscopic instruments. The exact position of the reflection maximum in the ultraviolet spectral range depends on the viewing angle, so that the variation of the reflection maximum in the ultraviolet can also be used as an authenticity feature.
- the layer thickness of the dielectric spacer layer is preferably between about 20 nm and about 90 nm.
- the spacer layer is essentially formed from a low-index dielectric with refractive index n ⁇ 1.8, in particular SiO 2 or MgF 2 , and has a layer thickness between 50 nm and 90 nm, in particular of about 70 nm.
- the spacer layer is essentially formed from a high-index dielectric with refractive index n ⁇ 1.8, in particular from TiO 2 or ZnS, and has a layer thickness between 20 nm and 50 nm, in particular approximately 40 nm.
- the thin-film element according to the invention Due to the matching of the thickness and the materials of the reflection layer, the absorber layer and the dielectric spacer layer in the entire visible spectral range and for all viewing angles, the thin-film element according to the invention has a very low reflection and therefore appears black to the viewer.
- the thicknesses of the absorber layer, dielectric spacer layer and reflection layer in particular by changing the thickness of the dielectric spacer layer, it is also possible to obtain a thin-film element in some areas, which is not the case for the viewer at all Viewing angles and / or not in the entire visible spectral range appears black.
- a thin-film element can be obtained which has very little reflection in a first region due to the inventive tuning of reflection layer, absorber layer and dielectric spacer layer and appears black to the viewer in the entire visible spectral range, whereas a second region of the thin-film element, the thickness of the dielectric spacer layer is selected such that this second region of the Dünl Anlagenele- ment for the viewer in incident light does not appear like the first black area, but blue.
- the viewer When tilting the second area, the viewer then perceives, for example, a color change from blue (top view) to black (oblique viewing angle).
- the first region of the thin-film element appears black to the viewer in the entire visible spectral range and at all viewing angles, while the second region does not appear black to the observer, at least at one viewing angle and / or in a part of the visible spectral range.
- the thin-film element With a sufficiently thick dielectric layer it is possible to produce a thin-film element with a reflection maximum in the infrared, just beyond the visible spectral range. Since in this case in the visible spectrum there are always sufficiently intense reflection maxima, the thin-film element appears to the viewer in a color deviating from black. However, if the thin-film element is provided with a suitable, filtering color, in particular a film which, for example, absorbs blue light and transmits red light, then the thin-film element appears black to the observer in incident light. When tilting this thin-film element with filtering color, the reflection maxi- mum from the infrared into the visible spectral range (red), so that the tilted thin-film element for the viewer appears red.
- a suitable, filtering color in particular a film which, for example, absorbs blue light and transmits red light
- Such a thin-film element with filtering color thus shows a color shift effect from black (top view) to red (oblique viewing angle) for the viewer. It is understood that by a suitable choice of the materials and thicknesses of the reflective layer, absorber layer and dielectric spacer layer, a thin-film element may also be indicated which exhibits a color shift effect of eg red (top view) or blue (top view) to black (oblique viewing angle) As described above, additional filtering colors can be combined with the respective thin-film element.
- the dielectric material of the spacer layer can be mixed with an absorbent material, for example with absorbing metal ions.
- the dielectric spacer layer may be vapor-deposited or printed. In the latter case, for example, carbon black may be incorporated as the absorbent.
- the dielectric spacer layers of changed thickness required for the colored and / or non-colored areas can be produced. be printed with advantage.
- the security element according to the invention for securing data carriers can not only be formed by a flat, three-layered thin-film element comprising a reflection layer, absorber layer and dielectric spacer layer arranged therebetween, but also by a flat application of thin-layer pigments with the three-layer construction according to the invention.
- the visual impression of a security element with thin-film pigments that is visually impressed by a security element with a flat, three-layer thin-film element can hardly be distinguished from a viewer.
- black-appearing thin-film pigments and the security elements formed therefrom are not preferred for the observer at all viewing angles in the entire visible spectral range.
- the thin-film element according to the invention When viewed from the reflection layer side, the thin-film element according to the invention preferably appears highly glossy at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range.
- This metallic reflection can be used in particular in security elements that are also visible from the underside. On the one hand, it enables the visual differentiation of the thin-film element from conventional black print layers, and on the other hand, it can also function as part of another authenticity feature, as explained below on the basis of a polarization feature in which the metallic reflection layer interacts with a phase-shifting layer.
- the thin-film element has recesses in the form of patterns, characters or codes which form transparent or translucent regions in the thin-film element. The recesses may extend through the entire thin-film element or may also be formed only in the reflection layer.
- the security element has a color-shifting layer of a cholesteric liquid-crystalline material, which faces the absorber layer side of the thin-film element, so that the black-appearing thin-film element forms a dark background for the color-shifting layer.
- the color-shifting layer can of course also be combined with the recesses in the thin-film element. If the security element has a carrier foil, then the thin-layer element and the color-shifting layer can be arranged on the same side or on opposite sides of the carrier foil.
- the security element can furthermore have at least one further, machine-readable security feature, in particular a security feature with magnetic, electrically conductive, phosphorescent, fluorescent or other luminescent substances. If the security element has a carrier foil, the thin-layer element and the further security feature can be arranged on the same side or on opposite sides of the carrier foil. It is understood that the further security features can be combined with surface tipping layers and / or with recesses in the thin-layer element.
- the thin-film element according to the invention is arranged on a carrier foil which, as a further security feature, has a diffraction structure or matt structure, wherein the thin-film element layer element is arranged next to the diffraction structure or matt structure or above / below the diffraction structure or matt structure.
- a security feature which can be excited in the ultraviolet spectral range is combined with the security element according to the invention.
- the UV-stimulable layer can be arranged above the black thin-film element according to the invention (ie facing the absorber layer side) or else on the side of the thin-film element facing the reflection layer side.
- the security element is present on a carrier film, in particular a PET film with a layer thickness between 6 .mu.m and 23 .mu.m.
- the carrier film can be pulled off the remaining layer structure of the security element or it can remain as an integral part of the security element in the layer structure.
- the security element has a phase retardation layer of a nematic liquid-crystalline material which faces the reflection layer side of the thin-film element, so that the phase retardation layer together with the reflection layer forms a polarization feature that can be tested with a polarization filter.
- the phase delay layer can be present in particular in the form of patterns, characters or codes, so that the formed motif emerges when viewed through a suitable polarization filter. If the security element has a carrier foil, this can
- the security element has a phase delay layer made of a suitable liquid-crystalline material, the phase-delay layer facing the absorber layer side of the thin-film element.
- the phase retardation layer of nematic liquid-crystalline material can be arranged above a layer of cholesteric liquid-crystalline material, the layer of cholesteric liquid-crystalline material showing a color-shift effect together with the thin-film element according to the invention.
- the observer can perceive the color-shift effect of the cholesteric liquid-crystalline material in combination with the thin-film element from the absorber layer side and check the polarization effect of the polarization feature of nematic liquid-crystalline material with suitable aids.
- the security element has a three-layer thin-film element according to the invention, which has a very low reflection for viewing from the absorber layer side at all viewing angles in the entire visible spectral range and therefore appears black to the observer.
- the security element furthermore has a thin-film element, which is e.g. by changing the thickness of the dielectric spacer layer does not appear black to the viewer at all viewing angles and / or throughout the entire visible spectral range.
- the security element according to the invention has a first area, which shows a first color-shift effect for the viewer, and a second area, which shows a second, different color-shift effect from the first one.
- this special security element with first and second color-shifting areas can basically be designed as described for the security element with only one color-shifting layer.
- the thin-film element with first and second regions and the color-shifting layer can be arranged on the same side or on opposite sides of a carrier film.
- the combination with a further, in particular machine-readable security feature, as well as the combination with a phase delay layer made of a nematic liquid-crystalline material is conceivable.
- the security element described above is characterized by an extraordinarily large security against counterfeiting.
- the security element according to the invention can have a region which has essentially the same color, which is different from black, at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range.
- a security element according to the invention as described above, with a color-shifting layer from a cholesteric liquid-crystalline material, which faces the absorber layer side of the thin-film element, so that the black-appearing thin-film element forms a dark background for the color-tilting layer to be arranged on a suitable carrier film such that the color-shifting thin-film structure directly adjoins one likewise on the carrier film adjoining region, which has substantially the same color different from black at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range.
- Such security elements in which a color-shifting thin-film structure according to the invention is arranged directly adjacent to a region which has substantially the same color at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range, are very attractive to the viewer and are characterized by particularly high counterfeit security.
- the security element having areas that exhibit a color shift effect and areas that have substantially a particular, non-changeable color may also be combined with other security features, such as a phase retardation layer of a suitable liquid crystal material, as described above.
- the security element is advantageously a security thread, a security tape, a security strip, a patch or a label for application to a security paper, document of value or the like.
- the invention also encompasses a method for producing a security element of the type described, in which a reflective layer, a dielectric spacer layer and an absorber layer are superimposed to form a three-layered thin-film element, and in which the reflection layer, the absorber layer and the dielectric spacer layer are matched to one another such that the thin-film element has a very low reflection for viewing from the absorber layer side at all viewing angles and in the entire visible spectral range and appears black.
- the invention further includes a data carrier, in particular a value document, such as a banknote, an identity card or the like, with a security element of the type described.
- a security element of the type described is applied to a data carrier substrate, for example a printed or unprinted paper or plastic substrate, applied or fully or partially embedded in such a data carrier substrate.

- the layer thickness of the reflection layer is typically between 10 nm and 200 nm, usually between about 30 nm and about 100 nm.
- low-index dielectrics with a refractive index below 1.8 are considered, such as SiCh, MgF, SiO x with 1 ⁇ x ⁇ 2, or Al 2 O 3.
- high-index dielectrics with a refractive index of 1.8 or more such as ZrO 2 , ZnS, TiO 2 or indium tin oxide (ITO).
- the layer thickness of the spacer layer 24 is preferably between about 50 nm and about 90 nm in the case of low-index dielectrics, preferably between about 20 nm and about 50 nm in the case of high-index dielectrics.
- the dielectric spacer layer 24 is 80 nm thick SiO 2 layer formed.
- the absorber layer 26 is formed in the embodiment by a 6 nm thick chromium layer.
- other materials such as iron, gold, aluminum or titanium, which are applied in a thickness between 2 nm and about 10 nm, are also suitable as absorber layers.
- Further details on the construction of thin-film elements and in particular on the materials which can be used for the reflection layer, the dielectric spacer layer and the absorber layer as well as the layer thicknesses which are suitable for the reflection layer and the absorber layer can be found in the publication WO 01/03945 A1, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference the present application is incorporated.
- the perceptible color impression of a thin-film element with the described structure is based on viewing angle-dependent interference effects due to multiple reflections in the different sub-layers of the element and in particular depends on the optical thickness of the dielectric spacer layer.
- the path difference of the beams reflected at different partial layers is of the order of the wavelengths of visible light, so that an angle-dependent color impression in the visible spectral range results due to the extinction and amplification of specific wavelengths.
- the layer thickness of the dielectric spacer layer 24 is now selected to be so small that all constructive interference maxima lie in the ultraviolet spectral range and the thin-film elements in the visible spectral range have no reflection maximum at all viewing angles.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows the reflection spectrum 30 of the vertical viewing thin-film element 20 shown in FIG Wavelength decreases the reflection to a maximum reflection 32 in the ultraviolet spectral range, which is in the exemplary embodiment at about 250 nm, strong and is then in the entire visible spectral range of 400 nm to 800 nm well below 10%.
- the reflection maximum 32 shifts to even shorter wavelengths due to the physical conditions, ie it remains in the non-visible, ultraviolet spectral range.
- the shallow rise 34 of the reflection of the thin-film element between 800 nm and 1000 nm (FIG. 3)
- a blue shift of the reflection spectrum does not significantly increase the reflection in the visible spectral range, especially since the human eye on the red end of the spectral range is only slightly sensitive.
- the thin-film element 20 therefore also appears with oblique viewing 28 'for the viewer with a deep black hue.
- the thin-film element 20 produces a black impression in the visible spectral range of 400 nm to 800 nm, which is very similar to that of a black printing layer.
- the thin-film element 20 appears high-gloss metallic at all viewing angles 29, 29 'and in the entire visible spectral range.
- the thin-film structure of the element 20 can therefore easily be distinguished from a conventional black printing layer even without auxiliary means.
- the position of the reflection maximum 32 in the ultraviolet spectral range and its displacement during tilting of the thin-film element 20 can be used as characteristic authenticity characteristics and can be detected with the aid of suitable spectroscopic instruments.
- the metallic reflection from the reflection layer side can be used for security elements that are at least partially visible from the underside, for example for security elements, which are arranged above a see-through or window area of a banknote or a value document.
- the metallic reflection can also be used to generate a polarization feature, as explained in more detail below.
- the opacity of the metallic reflective layer 22 in cooperation with the demetallized areas can be used to create negative patterns, as already illustrated by the negative characters "PL" and "10" of the security thread 12 of FIG.
- the dielectric material of the spacer layer may be provided with an absorbent material.
- SiO 2 can be provided with absorbing metal ions, or glass breakage can be evaporated in a particularly simple variant for applying the spacer layer 24.
- the dielectric spacer layer 24 can also be designed as a pressure layer In this case, an absorbing material such as carbon black can easily be incorporated.
- FIG. 5 shows a security film 50, as it can be used for the production of a security thread 12 shown in Fig. 1.
- the security film 50 contains a carrier film 52 in the form of a transparent plastic film on which an aluminum reflection layer 54, a 70 nm thick spacer layer 56 made of SiCb and a 4 nm thick absorber layer 58 made of chromium are applied in a layer sequence from bottom to top to form a three-layered thin-film element 60 which appears black from all viewing directions when viewed from the absorber layer 58 side.
- recesses 62 in the form of patterns, characters or codes are formed in the thin-film element 60 and form transparent or translucent areas in the thin-film element 60.
- the carrier film 52 in the exemplary embodiment was printed in the region of the desired recesses with an activatable printing ink, and then the layers 54, 56, 58 of the thin-film element 60 were vapor-deposited completely onto the printed carrier film. Subsequently, the ink was activated and the three overlying layers 54, 56, 58 removed in regions.
- Suitable inks which can be activated are, for example, printing inks with foamable additives which split off gas under the action of heat, reduce the adhesion to the carrier film as a result of the resulting increase in volume, and thus have the following mechanically acting treatment methods. provide a good point of attack for working out the negative patterns. Further details of such a washing process can be found in the document EP 0 516 790 B1, the disclosure of which is incorporated in the present application. It is understood that other methods known to the person skilled in the art for producing recesses can also be used to produce negative patterns, for example the washing method described in the document WO 99/13157, which is based on the printing of a soluble ink with a porous structure, or also etching methods of all kinds.
- a color-shifting, cholesteric liquid-crystal layer 66 is further applied over an entire surface over an adhesive or primer layer 64.
- the black-appearing thin-film element 60 forms a dark background for the liquid crystal layer 66 and makes its color-shift effect appear with brilliant colors.
- FIG. 6 schematically shows the reflection spectrum 70 of the security film 50 shown in FIG. 5 in the non-recessed areas 68 when viewed vertically from above, that is, when viewed from the side of the color-tilting liquid crystal layer 66.
- the reflection spectrum 70 shows a clearly pronounced reflection maximum 72 in the green spectral range at a wavelength of about 550 nm.
- the security film 50 therefore appears when viewed vertically in a brilliant, bright green.
- the reflection maximum 72 shifts to shorter wavelengths, in the present case into the blue spectral range, due to the physical conditions.
- the security film 50 therefore appears deep blue when viewed at an acute angle, so that when the film 50 is tilted, a pronounced color shift effect from green to blue can be observed.
- the liquid crystal layer 66 is typically present against a light background, such as a paper background with partially embedded or glued security elements. Against such a light background, the color-shift effect of the liquid crystals is not or only slightly visible, so that the recesses 62 appear in a top view as color-free areas without color-shift effect. Particularly noteworthy are the recessed areas 62 when viewed in transmitted light, where they emerge bright against the background of the otherwise opaque thin-film element 60.
- FIG. 8 Another embodiment of a security film 80 according to the invention is shown in FIG.
- the structure of the security film 80 largely corresponds to the structure of the security film 50 of FIG. 5, but with the difference that only the reflection layer 54 of the thin-film element 60 is provided with recesses, while the spacer layer 56 and the absorber layer 58 are formed over the entire surface.
- the visual appearance of the security film 80 is similar to the appearance of the security film 50, however, in the recessed areas 62, the absorber layer 58 still present there darkens the negative pattern area somewhat.
- the thin-film element 60 and the liquid crystal layer 66 may also be arranged on different sides of the carrier film 52. It is only essential for the effect of the invention that the liquid crystal layer 66 faces the absorber layer side 58 of the thin-film element 60.
- the recesses of the thin-film element 60 may again extend through the entire element or, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 8, may be formed only in the reflection layer 54.
- the layer structure of the security elements according to the invention can also receive further, in particular machine-readable security features, as illustrated in the exemplary embodiments 100 and 110 of FIGS. 9 and 10 using the example of a magnetic security feature.
- the magnetic regions 102 can be printed as printed areas directly or else via a primer onto the black absorber layer side of the thin-film element 60.
- the magnetic regions 102 are usually black and therefore do not or only slightly fall in front of the black background of the thin-film element 60.
- the magnetic regions 102 may also be printed on the opposite side of the carrier film 52.
- This variant shown in FIG. 10 has the advantage that the magnetic regions can then in principle not be noticed from the visible side (the absorber layer side of the thin-film element).
- the black magnetic regions must be effectively optically covered in some applications, in order not to attract attention to the highly reflective environment.
- Such a cover can be effected, for example, by a coating with metallic effect pigments and / or opaque white printing layers.
- the thin-film element which is black from one side and shiny from the other side, can also be combined with a phase-retardation layer of birefringent material.
- a thin-film element 60 is applied to the upper side of a carrier foil 52, and a color-tilting liquid crystal layer 66 via an adhesive layer, as already described in principle in connection with FIG.
- the carrier film 52 provided in the form of a motif phase delay layer 122, which consists of a birefringent material, for example of nematic liquid-crystalline material.
- the phase delay of the visible light phase retardation layer 122 is typically between about ⁇ / 4 and about ⁇ / 2 and in the exemplary embodiment described is ⁇ / 4.
- the security element 120 When the security element 120 is viewed from below with ordinary unpolarized light and without auxiliary means, the subareas with and without phase retardation layer 122 are virtually indistinguishable since the phase delay acts equally on all polarization directions of the incident light and the light absorption of the phase retardation layer 122 is negligibly small.
- phase retardation layer 122 may also be disposed directly on the reflection layer 54, as shown in the security element 130 of FIG. 12. In this case, the polarizing properties of the carrier film for the polarization feature is irrelevant.
- the polarization characteristic of the phase retardation layer 122 is a color-shifting one
- the polarization feature can also be provided for security elements without recesses and / or for security elements without fb rocking layers.
- the polarization feature is present on the metallically reflecting side of a thin-film element, while the opposite side appears black glossy to the viewer.
- the shiny black surface can be used as a design element or as a black background for another security or design element.
- a banknote may be provided with the black glossy thin-film element in a first region and may contain a liquid-crystal layer in a see-through window of another region. If the liquid crystal layer by folding the banknote on the black surface of the Laying thin-film element, so the previously not visible or barely visible color shift effect of the liquid crystal layer clearly shows.
- phase retardation layer on the side facing the absorber layer side of the thin film element, e.g. over a layer of cholesteric liquid crystalline material 66 disposed over a thin film element 60.
- the layer sequence of carrier foil 52, thin-layer element 60 and cholesteric liquid-crystalline material 66 corresponds to the structure of the security element 120 shown in FIG. 11, the phase delay layer 142 of the security element 140 is arranged on the color-shifting liquid crystal layer 66 ,
- the phase delay layer 142 may be e.g.
- the cholesteric liquid-crystalline material 66 acts together with the thin-film element 60 as a reflector for the phase retardation layer of nematic liquid-crystalline material 142.
- the observer can thus transfer both the color-shift effect of the layer of cholesteric liquid-crystalline material 66 from the side facing the absorber layer side the thin-film element 60 as well as the polarization effect of the nematic liquid crystal material 142 with a suitable polarization filter 144 check.
- the polarization effect of the security element 140 is not impaired by polarizing properties of the film 52, as may be the case with the security element 120 of FIG. 12. It is understood that all the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13 can basically have a region in which the thin-film element does not cover the entire visible spectral range and / or for the viewer due to the selected thickness, in particular of the dielectric spacer layer All viewing angles appear black and therefore result in color shift effects that differ from the color-shift effects described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13. It is of course also conceivable to combine a security element according to the invention with regions which have essentially the same color for the viewer in the visible spectral range and at all viewing angles.
- the carrier foil of the security element according to the invention can optionally also have a particularly embossed diffraction structure and / or matt structure, which is arranged next to or above / below the thin-film element and exhibits interesting synergistic effects, in particular incident light / transmitted light effects. generated, which further increase the protection against counterfeiting of the security element.
