- Fig. 6 is a schematic illustration of the light passing through the system "polarizer - optically anisotropic film - reflective layer,
- Fig. 7 represents the orientation of the polarizer axis with reference to main directions of the optically anisotropic film
- Fig. 8 shows the spectral dependence of transmittance T of the system for different thickness values of the optically anisotropic film ⁇ ⁇ (" e ⁇ n ° ⁇ ;
- Figs. 9 to 10 are an optical scheme for observing a hidden polarized image.
- the claimed security label is based upon the optically anisotropic substrate made of the film (1) (see Fig. 4) with a reverse side covered with the metallic reflective layer (2).
- a reverse side of only one (lower) film 1 is covered with the metallic reflective layer (2).
- a heat sealable adhesive layer (not shown on the drawings) may be applied on the metallic reflective layer (2). Such adhesive may be used to stick together the layers of the film (1) shown in Fig. 5.
- the claimed method of producing a security label can be realized as follows (see Figs. 1 to 4).
- An optically anisotropic transparent film (1) is used for printing.
- the film thickness is of no importance.
- One of the following printing methods is used to form a hidden polarized image: offset printing; letterpress printing; flexographic printing; intaglio printing, etc.; the same metallic ink is used during all printing stages.
- the metallic reflective layer (2) is formed by printing (using any printing method) a reverse side of the transparent film (1) by metallic ink (silver, gold, pearl%) (see Fig. 1).
- the ink layer thickness in this sample is 0,8 ⁇ . If the thickness of the reflective background layer is increased, the thickness of all other layers should be proportionally increased as well.
- the mask (3) is formed by printing (using any printing method) a face side of the transparent film (1) by the same metallic ink (silver, gold, pearl%) as for the reflective background layer with a printing plate (not shown on the drawings) having a required image or text (see Fig. 2).
- the ink thickness in this sample is at least 0, 1 ⁇ .
- the masking reflective layer (4) (see Fig. 3) is made by printing (using any printing method) over the mask (3) formed during Stage 2 by the same metallic ink (silver, gold, pearl...) as for the reflective background layer (2).
- the density and/or thickness of the masking reflective layer (4) should be enough to hide the mask outline without impeding the light transmission through the masking layer.
- the thickness of the masking reflective layer (4) in this sample is at least 0, 1 ⁇ . Depending on the result the thickness and/or density of the layer (4) may be increased or reduced. If the hidden image is insufficiently masked and remains visible with the naked eye, then the thickness of the masking layer (4) should be increased.
- the masking dispersive lacquer layer (5) (see Fig. 4) is formed by printing over the masking layer (4) made during Stage 3 with guilloche or other image (using any printing method). Lacquers containing at least 15% of pearl pigments (Iriodin®, Pearlets, Phoenix, etc) should be used. The lacquer thickness in this sample is at least 0,3 ⁇ . Depending on the result the thickness of the masking dispersive lacquer layer (5) may be increased or reduced. If the hidden image is insufficiently masked and remains visible with the naked eye, then the thickness of the masking dispersive lacquer layer (5) should be increased.
- the finished security label is obtained (see Fig. 4) without any outlines or relief visible on the surface.
- Stage 2 When a multilayer substrate is required, a relevant number of substrate layers is made during Stage 2 (without any reflective layer). The prepared additional substrates are laid on the substrate implemented during Stages 1 and 2 and sticked together by optically transparent adhesive. Operations specified for Stages 3 and 4 are performed as described above.
- the security label can be made (printed) directly on the protected product.
- the metallic reflective layer (2) may be covered by a heat-sealable adhesive (not shown on the drawings) to stick the security label onto a surface of the protected product.
- the claimed method of producing a security label is intended to form the hidden images that become visible in polarized light. It can be used with any printing methods: offset printing; letterpress printing; flexographic printing; intaglio printing, etc.
- the claimed first version of a security label (Fig. 4) is used for the product authenticity verification as follows (see Figs. 9 to 10).
- the security label is placed on the outer surface of the protected product or is embedded into the same. If the claimed security label is illuminated with white light no images or relief are visible on its surface.
- the light passing through a polarizer (6) to the security label becomes polarized.
- the polarized light passes through the layers (5) and (4) and the sections of the mask (3) that are not covered with metallic ink, then goes into the transparent substrate (1) and is reflected from the reflective layer (2).
- the mask (3) acts as an element changing the optical properties of the substrate (1) in the sense that the sections of the mask (3) that reflect the polarized light without altering the same transfer this property to the substrate (1) because under these sections of the mask there appears no light in the substrate. Light beams reflected by the layer (2) re-pass through the substrate (1).
- the polarization of light Due to the optical anisotropy of the transparent substrate ( 1), the polarization of light is altered, however, the human eye does not detect any changes in the polarized light reflected by the mask and passed through the optically anisotropic substrate, and therefore the image remains invisible with the naked eye.
- the hidden polarized image generated by changes in polarization of light becomes visible if observed through a circular polarizer (6), because the polarized light, reflected by the mask without any changes in polarization, is absorbed by a circular polarizer (6), while the light, that has passed through the optically anisotropic substrate and changed its polarization state, passes through a circular polarizer (6) without any changes.
- a polarizer (6) can be put on the security label or, alternatively, the system comprising of polarized glasses and a source of polarized light can be used.
- the claimed security label enables the visualization of a white image (7) on a dark-blue background that coincides with the image shown in the mask (3).
- the same way can be used for authentication with assistance of the second and the third versions of the security label, however, in this case, the hidden image is colored.
- Colored image is generated in such security labels due to chromatic polarization (coloration of initially white light) of the light that has passed through linear/circular polarizer (6) and optically anisotropic film (1) with reflective layer (2) (see Figs. 6 and 7), the optical axis of this film is perpendicular to the light traveling direction.
- a polarizer lets light pass through if the electric field oscillations E 0 are directed along the polarizer axis. Passing through the optically anisotropic film a light wave splits into two waves with mutually orthogonal electric field oscillations E X and E V . Both waves
- the transmittance of the considered system for a linear polarizer is:
- T LJN E 2 1
- E Q 1 - sin 2 2or sin 2 (A ⁇ /2)
- T cir sin 2 2a sin ( ⁇ p 12) ,
- ⁇ 4nd(n e - n a )/ ⁇ - phase difference between oscillations
- Table 1 shows interferential colors for different values of optical thickness of the optically anisotropic film (or total optical thickness of a pack of optically anisotropic films) with the reflective layer.
- the claimed versions of the security labels with hidden polarized images may be realized by proper selection of the optical thickness of the substrate or substrates (for multicolored hidden images), by forming a reflective layer, a mask or masks (for multicolored hidden images) with the same metallic material as for the reflective layer, and a masking dispersing layer used to hide the outlines of the polarized image on the label. Verification of the security label with hidden polarized images is made using a polarizer.

Abstract
La présente invention a trait à une validation de papiers de sécurité, de documents, de billets de banque, d'œuvres d'art et de produits de marque. Les résultats techniques de l'invention sont l'implémentation d'étiquettes de sécurité rentables et pouvant être produites en série avec des images polychromes ou monochromes polarisées et cachées, sans qu'aucun des contours desdites images polarisées ne soit visible, le procédé permettant de former lesdites étiquettes ainsi que le procédé de vérification de l'authenticité du produit à l'aide des étiquettes de sécurité revendiquées. L'étiquette de sécurité revendiquée comprend une couche réfléchissante métallique disposée de façon séquentielle et un substrat transparent optiquement anisotrope, ainsi qu'un élément qui est en mesure de changer les propriétés optiques dudit substrat afin de former une image polarisée cachée. L'élément changeant les propriétés optiques du substrat se présente sous la forme d'un masque qui recouvre une face avant du substrat au moyen du même matériau métallique que celui qui est utilisé pour la couche réfléchissante au verso du substrat. Dans la seconde version, l'étiquette de sécurité revendiquée comprend au moins deux substrats optiquement anisotropes superposés et transparents, chaque masque étant effectué à l'aide d'un procédé d'impression à remplissage solide, des espaces vides étant réalisés en fonction du graphique de l'image cachée. Ces espaces vides sont réalisés de manière à ce qu'ils puissent coïncider ou pas avec des substrats transparents optiquement anisotropes adjacents, et pour chaque section desdits substrats transparents optiquement anisotropes dont les masques sont dotés d'espaces vides reposant sous l'espace vide du masque de substrat supérieur, l'épaisseur optique totale, la Formule (I), où di
est l'épaisseur d'un i
e substrat optiquement anisotrope ; i est un nombre compris entre 1 et N en fonction du nombre de substrats transparents mentionnés ci-dessus ; nei est l'indice de réfraction du faisceau lumineux extraordinaire dans le i
e substrat ; n oi est l'indice de réfraction du faisceau lumineux ordinaire dans le i
e substrat, a été sélectionné de manière à garantir que pour la lumière passant par un polariseur jusqu'à l'étiquette de sécurité le facteur de transmission T de la section correspondante est doté d'une valeur maximale sur la longueur d'onde prédéfinie λ, où λ est la longueur d'onde de la lumière dans le vide.
