  • Holographic structures can be read in reflection with a suitable device and diffract more than type Ia structures.
  • a storage film can be described lithographically with a structure according to type 2 with the following properties:
  • Holographic structures can be read out in transmission with a suitable device or the naked eye by means of a suitable light source.
  • a storage film can be described lithographically with a structure according to type 3 with the following properties:
  • Lattice structures lead to diffraction phenomena when viewed in transmission.
  • Holographic structures can be read in reflection with a suitable device. Holographic structures can be read out in transmission with a suitable device or the naked eye by means of a suitable light source.
  • holographic structures can contain digital data, texts, numbers, serial numbers, images, faces, logos, patterns, encoded data, etc. in their reconstruction.
  • Identical data contents can be generated by diffractive structures as diffraction patterns. Likewise, such information contents can be generated as gray value images by demetallization, which are viewed in a transmissive arrangement.
  • a pictorial information for example a microimage in the form of a number
  • a hologram in such a way that the number can be seen when viewed in reflection with the naked eye, but the same structure also displays holographic information when reading out with the aid of a corresponding reading device contains.
  • At least one feature observable in reflection is formed as a relief structure in at least one reflective functional layer 58 of the storage film 30.
  • At least one feature observable in reflection is designed as a structure with different optical density, in particular as an at least partially perforated reflective functional layer 58.
  • At least one feature observable in reflection is a structure which is reflective-diffracting or reflective by brightness modulation.
  • At least one feature observable in transmission is designed as a structure with different optical density, in particular as an at least partially perforated reflective functional layer 58.
  • At least one feature observable in transmission is designed as a structure which can be transmittively diffracted or transmissively observed by brightness modulation.
  • at least one transmissive or reflective observable feature is a computer-generated hologram.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'application d'un signe de sécurité sur un document de sécurité, ledit document de sécurité comportant une couche support pourvue d'au moins un évidement et un film de fenêtre transparent recouvrant au moins ledit évidement. Selon le procédé, au moins un signe individuel du document de sécurité est déterminé; le signe de sécurité est fabriqué sur la base dudit au moins un signe individuel du document de sécurité et ledit signe de sécurité est relié au film de fenêtre au niveau de l'évidement. Le procédé apporte une solution au problème technique que pose l'amélioration de la protection contre la falsification de documents de sécurité. L'invention concerne également un document de sécurité pourvu d'un signe de sécurité.
