- the invention relates to a security element with a color-shifting thin-film element for securing valuables.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing such a security element and a data carrier with such a security element.
- Data carriers such as security documents or other valuables, such as branded articles, are often provided with security elements for the purpose of security, which permit verification of the authenticity of the data carriers and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- Security elements with viewing-angle-dependent effects play a special role in the authentication of authenticity since they can not be reproduced even with the most modern copying machines.
- the security elements are in this case equipped with optically variable elements, which give the viewer a different image impression under different viewing angles and, for example, show a different color or brightness impression and / or another graphic motif depending on the viewing angle.
- the color flip effect in such thin-film elements is based on viewing angle-dependent interference effects due to multiple reflections in the different sub-layers of the element.
- the path difference of the light reflected at the different layers depends on the one hand on the optical thickness of a dielectric spacer layer, which determines the distance between a semi-transparent absorber layer and a reflective layer, and on the other hand varies with the respective Viewing angle. Since the path difference is on the order of the wavelength of the visible light, the result is an angle-dependent color impression for the viewer due to the extinction and amplification of certain wavelengths.
