If a plurality of functional layers are arranged one above the other, it is generally desirable for the functional regions and the recesses in the individual functional layers to be formed exactly in register, ie with high register accuracy, and with contour-sharp edges between the functional regions and the recesses. In this way, one functional layer can be hidden under another, for example magnetic substances under a colored layer, or security elements with multiple functional layers and "negative writing" can be produced.

If such a security element with negative writing has two different functional layers, for example a motif in the form of a gold-colored metallic coating and the same motif as the red printing ink, then this motif appears to the viewer golden-colored from one side and red from the other side.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour fabriquer un élément de sécurité (1), un élément de sécurité (1) obtenu selon le procédé conforme à l'invention, des matériaux de transfert comprenant les éléments de sécurité conformes à l'invention et les objets de valeur sécurisés avec les éléments de sécurité selon l'invention. L'élément de sécurité (1) selon l'invention a deux couches (12, 22) réfléchissantes, qui sont collées l'une avec l'autre au moyen d'une couche resist (30), et deux couches optiquement actives (52, 62 ; 72, 82), qui sont disposées des deux côtés de l'élément de sécurité. La couche resist (30) présente un motif qui est utilisé pour générer un motif coïncidant dans la première couche réfléchissante (12). Ensuite, le motif de la couche resist (30), et donc également de la seconde couche réfléchissante (12), est reproduit de façon précise dans la seconde couche réfléchissante (22). On y arrive par le fait que la seconde couche réfléchissante (22) est collée sous la forme du motif de la couche resist (30). Les zones non collées de la seconde couche réfléchissante (22) sont enlevées, de sorte qu'on obtient une écriture négative.
