  • JP 2005 001433 A describes a security element for application to a value document.
  • the security element is through a substrate with two formed different hole patterns.
  • the one hole pattern has larger holes that do not penetrate the substrate and provide a grid.
  • the other hole pattern has smaller holes that penetrate the substrate.
  • a smaller, continuous hole is always arranged relative to a larger hole so that the holes overlap differently depending on the viewing angle of the security element, z. B. let light or block, and thus produce different images.
  • the security element can be composed of two individual layers, each providing one of the hole pattern. However, both layers, viewed perpendicular to the plane of the security element formed therefrom, have the same size.
  • JP 2004 223 867 A describes a laminate applied to a document of value as a security element.

Similar to the in JP 2005 001433 A described security element while a hole of the third layer is always arranged relative to a hole of the first layer so that the holes overlap differently depending on the viewing angle of the security element, z. B. let light or block, and thus produce different images.
  • the layers of the laminate viewed perpendicular to the plane of the laminate, are the same size.
  • JP 2006 205674 A describes a security document with a paper carrier and an optically variable element glued onto a partial surface of the paper carrier.

If the security document is viewed in transmitted light, the microperforations can be read by the viewer of the security document, but not when the security document is viewed in reflected light. An imitation of the recognizable by transmitted light optical effect on the security document is particularly difficult for a counterfeiter, since not only the carrier substrate must be perforated in the correct position, but positionally accurate to the position of the first group of microperforations in at least one of the at least two layers of security film element the second group Microperforations must be arranged.
  • the security film elements are preferably applied with a position tolerance of up to ⁇ 1 mm in the transport direction of the carrier substrate and with a positional tolerance of up to ⁇ 0.5 mm perpendicular to the transport direction (left / right tolerance) on the carrier substrate of a security document.

  • the dimensions of the microperforations i.
  • the diameter or the width of a punctiform or linear micro-perforation chosen smaller than the dimensions of the substrate, in particular selected as the thickness of the substrate.

  • the second group of microperforations in the security film element is formed directly on the security document, in particular by means of a laser. A correct position positioning of the first and second safety markings to each other is simplified.
  • the second group of microperforations prior to the arrangement of the security film element on the security document in particular by means of laser, chemical etching and the like, is formed. This results in the need to make the arrangement of the security film element in the correct position, so that the information is clearly formed and easily readable. This requires particularly low tolerances in the placement of the security film element on the carrier substrate of the security document.
  • the at least one opaque layer of the security film element is formed as a layer of metal, a metal alloy, a pigmented printing ink or a pigmented lacquer. Combinations of several opaque layers of different materials, in particular of metallic layers with lacquer layers, have also proven themselves.

It is thus possible to form security documents which are particularly hard to imitate, since the readable information can be composed of a wide variety of microperforations with interesting optical effects. It is also possible for an opaque layer and a semitransparent and / or dielectric layer to be part of a thin-film interference layer system with a viewing angle-dependent color change effect. In the area of microperforation, the occurrence of the color change effect is then prevented.
  • the first group and the second group of microperforations are not arranged congruently to one another or one above the other.

  • the removal of visible areas preferably takes place by means of etching or laser ablation.
  • microperforations by means of laser technology is relatively expensive, since lasers of very high power are required and the positioning of the laser beam or the document to be provided must be highly accurate.
  • dot screens of up to 16 x 45 microperforations relative to a security document, such as a banknote can be formed at a reasonable cost.
  • Banknotes are usually processed in the form of sheets, each sheet comprising approximately 45 banknotes.
