Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security document.
  • a security document comprising a body including a cavity extending in at least a part of a thickness of the body from one side of the body, and in which a window is embedded.
  • a way of facilitating authentication of a security document is to incorporate a transparent and/or translucent window in a design of such a security document, which allows the usage of a "z-direction", i.e. a direction along a thickness of the window, to enhance the security level.
  • a goal of the present invention is to provide a security document in which the window limits risks of reproduction or falsification, and which provides an easy way to inspect the authenticity of the security document.
  • the invention provides a security document comprising a body, the body comprising at least one side and a cavity extending in at least a part of a thickness of the body from the side, and the body comprising a window embedded in the cavity, the window comprising at least an OVM part and a chromic material part, at least a portion of the OVM part being superimposed with at least a portion of the chromic material part, wherein the OVM part is a material which shows colour shifting effects depending on a colour of a background on which it is placed, the window comprises two layers of transparent part between which the chromic material part is positioned, and wherein the window comprises a laser sensitive part forming a back layer of the window, both transparent part layers surrounding the chromic material part being positioned between the OVM part layer and the laser sensitive part, the window comprising an additional pattern engraved in the laser sensitive part, at least a portion of the chromic material part is superimposed with at least a portion of the additional pattern.
  • Such a window permits to take advantage of a depth, i.e. thickness, of the document (i.e. z-axis or z-direction).
  • the window can extend over only a part of the thickness of the body, or cross the entire thickness.
  • such another security feature can be a security artwork on one transparent layer.
  • the OVM part here designates a part of the window, which comprises an OVM.
  • An OVM is an optically variable material, i.e. a material which shows colour shifting effects depending on a colour of a background on which it is placed.
  • the OVM part is of a first colour when on a white background, and of a second colour, different from the first colour, when on a black background.
  • colour includes any hue of colour, including colourless, as well as transparency or translucency.
  • a "white” background here means a background which is white or of any bright colour
  • a “black” background here means a background which is black or of any dark colour
  • an OVM is often UV fluorescent.
  • Document FR 3 080 325 describes for example such an optically variable material.
  • the optically variable material comprises a given concentration of an active substance comprising one or more fluorescent compound (s), particularly of the family of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza- s-indacenes or from the difluoroborane p-diketonate family (BF2bdks).
  • fluorescent compound particularly of the family of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza- s-indacenes or from the difluoroborane p-diketonate family (BF2bdks).
  • the OVM part comprising the optically variable material also comprises a polymer in which the OVM is incorporated.
  • the OVM part forms a layer of the window.
  • a chromic material part here designates a part of the window, which comprises a material the colour of which changes from a first colour to a second colour, which is different from the first one, under an external stimulus, which can be chemical or physical.
  • the chromic material part is of the first colour, and when the chromic material part is subjected to an exposure, it is of the second colour.
  • colour includes any hue of colour, including colourless, as well as transparency or translucency.
  • the colour change of the chromic material occurs gradually in time, typically in the order of seconds or minutes. Then, the chromic material often is time dependent in its colours changes.
  • the chromic material part comprises at least one of a thermochromic material or a photochromic material.
  • thermochromic material is a chromic material which is sensitive to temperature
  • a photochromic material is a material which is sensitive to light; the light being for example general visible light (i.e. a light comprising at least one wavelength comprised between about 400 nm and 700 nm), or UV light (ultraviolet, for wavelength smaller than 400 nm, for example between 100 nm and 400 nm), or IR light (infrared, for wavelength greater than 700 nm, for example between 700 nm and 11 000 nm).
  • an exposure source can be a finger (the temperature of which is generally higher than the temperature of a surface of the window), or a lamp.
  • the chromic material turns colourless and transparent under exposure.
  • thermochromic or a photochromic ink.
  • thermochromic ink is for example water-based or solvent-based, and can use an active principle of liquid crystal type or of leuco-derivative type.
  • Liquid crystal based inks are sensitive to small changes in temperature, but are relatively expensive and difficult to manufacture.
  • Thermochromic materials therefore most often use leuco-derivatives, the complete colour change of which requires a variation of three degrees or more.
  • These compounds are for example encapsulated in gelatine droplets of a diameter of about 10 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m, and of a thickness of about 1 ⁇ m to 2 ⁇ m.
  • thermochromic substances can be trapped in sealed microspheres which can then be incorporated into aqueous mixtures such as inks, without reacting with their other components.
  • Document WO 0104221 describes an example of such a thermochromic ink.
  • Such a photochromic ink can comprise, for example, a spiropyran material, which changes between colourless to colour, reversible.
  • the chromic material part forms a pattern.
  • a pattern here includes at least one data, for example, a letter, and/or a number, and/or a symbol, and/or a picture, and/or any other element.
  • the chromic material part has smaller apparent surface than the OVM part.
  • At least a portion of the OVM part is superimposed with at least a portion of the chromic material part.
  • superimposed means that one of the parts is above or below another of the parts, and the part which is below the other part appears covered by this other part from a viewer's point of view, for example if an inspector checks the security document.
  • the window comprises an additional pattern.
  • Such additional pattern designates personalized data which further enhances personalisation of the security document, and therefore further improves its security.
  • At least a portion of the chromic material part is superimposed with at least a portion of the additional pattern.
  • Such additional pattern is engraved.
  • Such additional pattern is often black coloured, in particular when it is engraved. When it is printed it can be of any colour, as desired and possible.
  • the window comprises a laser sensitive part in which the additional pattern is engraved.
  • a laser sensitive part here designates a part of the window comprising a material in which any pattern can be engraved, for example by means of a laser.
  • the laser sensitive part can be mainly transparent, and preferably colourless.
  • the laser sensitive part is formed of a layer.
  • the window comprises at least a transparent part.
  • the transparent part is possibly colourless.
  • the transparent part is formed of a layer.

  • Such background can be either an independent device, for example like a mat or a board, or it can be part of the security document.
  • the background comprises at least one colour.
  • the security document comprises at least one background.
  • the security document comprises at least one configuration in which at least a portion of the OVM part is superimposed with the background.
  • Integration of both the window and the background into the security document can be done in a so-called "asymmetric way"; for example, the window is integrated in the cavity of body, whereas the background can have a different size, and/or geometry, and/or position in the security document.
  • the body comprises the background.
  • they can be of different sizes, and/or geometries, and/or positions in the body, and the body can be folded so that the window can be superimposed with the background in at least one configuration of the security document.
  • the background can be positioned in the bottom of the cavity, under the window or backside the window.
  • the body can comprise lenses, like a lenticular lens, on top of the window; for example lenses on top of the document can work together with the chromic, OVM, pattern or a combination of these.
  • Magnification for example Moiré magnification, would facilitate the authentication, and improve the security of the document.
  • these lenses enable localized engraving under different angles, for multiple patterns to be inspected. These patterns may include data, including personal data.
  • Functionalities for at least the OVM part and/or the chromic material part can then be quickly integrated, without relying fully on a background for the window as generated by a handling of an inspector of the security document's authenticity.
  • the window comprises the background.
  • the chromic material part forms at least a portion of the background.
  • the chromic material part is positioned under the OVM part so that under exposure the chromic material part changes colour, inducing a change of colour of the OVM part.
  • Such configuration can be combined with a background set in the document, even in the window, or formed of an independent device.
  • the security document can comprise a booklet, like for example a passport.
  • the body in which the window is embedded is for example any sheet, for example the first sheet, of the booklet, and the background is formed, for example, on a backside of a front cover of the security document booklet.
