Definitions
- the invention relates to a data carrier and more particularly to improving the security of a data carrier by making forgery more difficult.
- Secure documents such as identification documents may include different techniques for anti-counterfeiting the documents. These techniques include surface embossings (e.g. obtained mechanically or by etching).
- DOVIDs are diffractive separately originated elements based on separated material patches applied inside or onto the surface of e.g. cards. DOVIDs enable producing various visual effects: movement, colours, morphing, and hiding and revealing texts/graphics depending on the orientation of light or viewing angle.
- DOVIDs are expensive to produce and typically need to be applied one by one as patches originated onto a specific material other than a typical plastic substrate of a data carrier.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an arrangement so as to alleviate the above disadvantages.
- the objects of the invention are achieved by a method and a data carrier which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims. Further embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- An aspect of the invention relates to a data carrier comprising one or more elements comprising symbols, text, graphics or combinations thereof arranged on a surface, wherein the elements are arranged on the surface as microscopic surface irregularities including protrusions, recesses or protrusions and recesses as compared to other parts of the element, wherein the elements comprise one or more areas having recesses or protrusions, such that said recesses or protrusions have different recess depths or protrusion heights respectively at the different areas of the element, wherein the one or more areas are visible to a viewer only at predetermined angles of light reflection at least partly deviating from the other areas.
- a further aspect of the invention relates to a data carrier comprising one or more elements comprising symbols, text, graphics or combinations thereof arranged on a surface, wherein the elements are arranged on the surface as microscopic surface irregularities including protrusions, recesses or protrusions and recesses as compared to other parts of the elements, wherein the elements comprise one or more areas having recesses or protrusions, such that said recesses or protrusions have different grating directions at the different areas of the element, wherein the one or more areas are visible to a viewer only at predetermined angles of light reflection at least partly deviating from the other areas.
- a still further aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a data carrier, the method comprising generating one or more elements comprising symbols, text, graphics or combinations thereof on a surface, wherein the elements are arranged on the surface as microscopic surface irregularities including protrusions, recesses or protrusions and recesses as compared to other parts of the element, wherein the elements comprise one or more areas having recesses or protrusions, such that said recesses or protrusions have different recess depths or protrusion heights respectively at the different areas of the element, wherein the one or more areas are visible to a viewer only at predetermined angles of light reflection at least partly deviating from the other areas.
- a still further aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a data carrier, the method comprising generating one or more elements comprising symbols, text, graphics or combinations thereof arranged on a surface, wherein the elements are arranged on the surface as microscopic surface irregularities including protrusions, recesses or protrusions and recesses as compared to other parts of the elements, wherein the elements comprise one or more areas having recesses or protrusions, such that said recesses or protrusions have different grating directions at the different areas of the element, wherein the one or more areas are visible to a viewer only at predetermined angles of light reflection at least partly deviating from the other areas.
- Optical variable devices are images/patterns/elements that exhibit various optical effects, such as movement or colour changes.
- DOVIDs diffractive optical variable image device
- DOVIDs and DOVIDs may be manufactured by printing and/or embossing. It is not possible to photocopy or scan OVDs/DOVIDs, and they cannot be accurately replicated or reproduced.
- OVDs/DOVIDs may be used as security devices and anti-counterfeiting measures on money, credit cards, passports, health insurance cards, driver's licences, and identification cards.
- An exemplary embodiment relates to a technology based on material (lamination plate) processing accuracy of picosecond lasers.
- Laser processing is a form of laser-assisted etching or engraving removing copper or other metal from a plate's surface.
- a laser beam may have a spot size of 20 ⁇ m and may be moved with far smaller steps.
- the spot may have e.g. a Gaussian (i.e. TEM 00 ) power distribution, and due to a threshold power for the engraving to start, the actual marking may be much finer as well.
- depth accuracy e.g. 1 ⁇ m deep grooves or spots may be obtained. Such shallow grooves reflect light only in limited angles, and the maximum angle of reflection grows with increasing groove depth.
- groove depth and angle By alternating groove depth and angle, it is possible to achieve effects visible at or within well controlled angles. These characteristics may be repeated onto a surface of plastic laminates and in case of transparent plastics (a window element for example) the transmitted light provides further effects at different viewing/lighting angles. Further strengths of such features are that dimensions of the grooves are so small that these are not visible to a naked eye and not even with a loupe, and that the grooves may be integrated directly into an otherwise normal looking surface as surface embossing (i.e. surface relief) having a sort of finishing touch. If the grooves are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye, they may be added to a smooth surface, and/or to be a part of another surface embossing design.
- Appearance of an optically variable surface embossed element depends on the angle and direction of observation.
- the change of appearance is achieved by surface embossed gratings with different heights.
- a higher surface embossing is visible from a significantly wider viewing angle than a lower surface embossing. This causes the appearance of the surface embossing to change when the angle of observation is changed, meaning that different parts of the surface embossing become visible/disappear when the light reflects differently from the surface embossings of different heights.
- the appearance of a surface embossed area also changes when the direction of the surface embossed grating is varied and the viewing direction is changed.
- Figure 1 a illustrates the size of surface irregularities E according to an exemplary embodiment.
- Figure 1b illustrates surface embossed grating with areas R1, R2 having different surface embossing heights.
- Figure 2 illustrates a top view T and cross-sectional views A-A, B-B of surface embossed gratings with different surface embossing heights 4x, 3x, 2x, 1x (the cross-sectional views being taken from lines A-A, B-B of the top view T, respectively).
- Figure 3a and 3b illustrate surface embossed elements with different surface embossing heights as appearing with different angles of light reflection.
- Figures 1a and 1b illustrate surface embossed grating in two different heights, wherein the height difference between the higher and lower surface embossing is illustrated.
- the height of the lower surface embossing (upper part (area R1) of the "star” in Figure 1b ) is about 1 ⁇ m to 1,5 ⁇ m and the height of the higher surface embossing (area R1) is about 2 ⁇ m to 3 ⁇ m. This kind of precise height alteration may be achieved with a laser ablation process.
- each of the different heights becomes visible at separate angles (see Figure 2 ). This enables creating "motion", animation or other transformation of the image seen when the viewing angle to the surface embossing is changed.
- the motion may be also generated by using surface embossing of the same height but altering the direction of the grating between embossed areas (see Figures 4, 5 , 6 and 7 ).
- Figure 4 illustrates surface embossed elements with different grating directions as appearing with different angles of light reflection.
- Figure 5 illustrates an surface embossed element with areas R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 having different grating directions.
- Figure 6 and 7 illustrate surface embossed areas R3, R4, R5 etc. having different grating directions.
- the surface of the surface embossed elements may diffract light (divides white light into separate colours).
- an enhanced laser processing capability enables introducing the above effects onto a laminate surface of cards and datapages (e.g. a paper-like document), potentially also other than polycarbonate.
- the effect is obtained onto the plastic surface by hot-embossing using a tool with the above effects arranged to the tool surface, by lamination with the above effects arranged into the surface of the lamination plate, by introducing a separate film onto the surface (before or after lamination), the film comprising these effects, or by injection moulding from a surface of a mould.
- a tool with the above effects arranged to the tool surface by lamination with the above effects arranged into the surface of the lamination plate, by introducing a separate film onto the surface (before or after lamination), the film comprising these effects, or by injection moulding from a surface of a mould.
- a surface layer typically comprises plastics.
- coated paper may be used instead, having a surface structure with a desired effect stamped on it (by printing with engraving press, where printing plates may be used that are manufactured in the same way as the lamination plates disclosed herein).
- so called security foils may be used that are laminated onto the surface of the paper after individualized printing.
- the surface embossed image provides a surface embossed security feature for anti-counterfeiting of secure documents (data carriers) such as identification cards, passports, health insurance cards, driver's licences, money, credit cards etc.
- secure documents data carriers
- data carriers such as identification cards, passports, health insurance cards, driver's licences, money, credit cards etc.
- An exemplary embodiment enables implementing optical variability into surface embossed elements E, thus making surface embossing/surface reliefs more difficult to replicate.
- An exemplary embodiment enables improving protection against removal attempts on graphical personalization.
- latent images may be taken to a completely different level with the image disappearing from selected angles and different designs appearing from others.
- An exemplary embodiment allows combining the latent imagery with tactile features (sensed with finger tips) while one normally is not able to achieve both in one.
- An exemplary embodiment enables a low budget manufacturing process by preparing the lamination plates (or moulds) and performing a normal lamination process of the secure document.
