摘要:
A reversible information display medium of liquid crystal type comprises a recording layer comprising a liquid crystalline composition whose main component exhibits a glass state at room temperature and a dichroic dye, said liquid crystalline composition exhibiting an isotropic liquid state or a liquid crystal domain state by the application of heat and further exhibiting a homeotropic orientation state by the application of both heat and electric field. A non-contact IC card employing the reversible information display medium of liquid crystal type is also provided.

Optical data carrier (1) having a multilevel construction, comprising a first (2) and a second (3) diffractive structure obtained on overlapped levels, wherein one (3) of these structures has a diffractive information code and the other one (2) a diffractive control code acting as read key for the information code, the construction being such that, upon exposing the device to a substantially monochromatic electromagnetic wave beam, each structure deflects such incident electromagnetic wave beam into one or more diffracted beams spatially independent from the one or more diffracted beams generated by the other structure.

Provided is an economical identification system suitable for use on commercial products which is difficult to duplicate, and highly identifiable. The system includes an identification medium having a high-polymer cholesteric liquid crystal material applicd thereon. The high-polymer cholesteric liquid crystals selectively reflect a certain wavelength, and this wavelength changes with the change in the incident angle of the light. The liquid crystals also have the property to circularly polarize the reflected light in either sense. By taking advantages of such properties, it is possiblc to provide a highly identifiable structure which, however, is highly difficult to illicitly duplicate. In particular, by forming the reflective layer of a hologram with high-polymer cholesteric liquid crystals, the hologram can be used as an identification medium which is highly difficult to duplicatc but easy to identify with a machine.

Die Erfindung schafft einen Datenträger (1) für visuell lesbare Daten mit einem kartenartigen Trägerelement (2), das wenigstens einen Datenbereich (12) aufweist, auf dem visuell lesbare Daten (15) aufgebracht sind, und bevorzugt eine auf dem oder jedem Datenbereich (12) angeordneten Abdeckung (13), z.B. in Form eines selbstklebenden Haftetikett mit einer Farbabdeckung, die - unter Beschädigung oder Zerstörung der Abdeckung - entfernbar ist. Bei der Herstellung wird eine Schutzfläche (3) und/oder das Trägerelement (2) derart geschwenkt, daß die Schutzfläche (3) eine Seitenfläche des Trägerelements (2) zumindest teilweise abdeckt.

A security card is provided in which an ink region 6 bearing image or textural data is printed onto a substrate 4. A reflective portion 8 is also provided on the substrate 4. A plastics protective layer 7 is deposited over the ink 6 and reflective element 8. Portions 10 of the protective layer 7 are overworked in order to change their appearance. Those portions overlying the reflective element 8 exhibit enhanced visibility.

An object bearing a two-dimensional visible image on an image field of a non-planar and curved object surface in at least one dimension also bears an encodement of encoded information recorded in a symbology of a material that is visible or invisible to the eye and over a substantial portion of the image field. The encodement includes curved encodement portions due to the curvature of the non-planar image field. The symbology of the encodement is adapted to be imaged as a planar symbology image by a planar imager that is disposed in use generally normal to and at a predetermined distance from a central point of the two-dimensional visible image. The recorded symbology is adjusted from point to point in the image field during recording of the encodement by an encodement recording system to compensate for distortion of the symbology introduced by imaging the curved symbology portions as the planar symbology image. In an encodement reader system, the encodement is captured by the planar imager and decoded and then reproduced as data or sound or visual information.

The invention relates to a value and security product with at least one security characteristic, in particular value products like bank notes, cheque forms, shares, personal documents, credit and cheque cards etc. Known value and security products contain for the most part optically visible security characteristics, which do not afford sufficient security against forgery. To enhance security against forgery, the invention envisages that the security characteristic consists of a substance which can be detected as a gas.
