Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security or value document which is produced from a document body, wherein the document body has at least one window area and at least one absorption element and at least one luminescence element in the window area. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a method for checking the authenticity of the security or value document according to the invention.
  • Card-shaped security or value documents serve, for example, for the identification of persons and / or objects and / or for cashless payment transactions. They have, inter alia, visually recognizable features which they clearly assign to a person and / or an object and / or a money or securities account and / or another subject and only allow the owner to identify himself / herself or via the object or to have the account or other subject and, for example, arrange remittances. For this reason, these documents must have security features that make it practically impossible for unauthorized persons, or at least make it significantly more difficult to falsify or distort the cards, so that abuse can be practically prevented. In addition, a fake should therefore be easily recognizable.
  • Important security features in the security or value documents are individualizing, in particular personalizing, features.
  • Personalizing features are, for example, passport photos and data of the person to whom the card is associated, for example the date of birth, the address or identification number in a company, as well as biometric data such as a passport photograph, a digitized record of fingerprints, or the size, eye color of the person or theirs Belonging to a health insurance.

If either only the front or the back of the security document is exposed to UV radiation, only the pattern that is on the exposed side is visible. In contrast, if both sides are irradiated, both patterns are recognizable.

  • a developer material for example a printed luminescent ink, which is invisible under visible illumination, but which luminesces visibly by illumination, for example with UV radiation, is located on both sides of the transparent polymer layers on the outside.
  • a filter material can also be arranged, which absorbs UV radiation, for example.
  • WO2014 / 111405A1 is a value or security product known.
  • This has a substrate with a security feature.
  • the security feature is formed by in each case at least one luminescent color layer applied to at least one of the surfaces of the substrate and in each case at least one transparent lacquer layer which at least partially covers the at least one luminescent color layer.

  • the free surface areas of the printed surface may be blank, with the exception of information, such as a passport photograph of the document holder.
  • the printing ink used for the production of the printing layer contains a binder, which is preferably formed by a polycarbonate derivative based on a geminally disubstituted Dihydroxydiphenylcycloalkans.
  • Printing inks which are cured (dried, crosslinked) by means of UV radiation are known from the prior art: For this example, on DE 60 2004 013 360 T2 pointed.

  • these are as in EP 1 719 637 A2 and WO 2008/075164 A2 with punches in an opaque core layer and insertion of transparent window material leads to bumps on the surface of the document. This is unacceptable for aesthetic reasons. Therefore, a solution as in the case of DE 10 2008 012 419 A1 It is preferable that the opaque area forming the windows is formed by an adhesion promoting pressure layer and not by an opaque core layer. However, in this case, the problem arises that the production of printing features in the region of a see-through window with the ink described in this document is not sufficiently opaque.
