    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the field of graphical elements and is directed to an optical effect layer (OEL), a device and a method for producing same. The disclosure provides an optical effect that is easy to detect as such and exhibits a viewing-angle dependent apparent motion of image features over an extended length if the viewing angle with respect to the OEL changes. An OEL includes a binder material being at least partially transparent and a plurality of particles dispersed within the layer. Each particle has a non-isotropic reflectivity and may be magnetic or magnetizable. The orientation of the particles forms an orientation pattern extending over a length within an extended surface of the OEL, such that the local average of an angle between (i) a straight line along an observed longest dimension within the corresponding cross-section shape, and (ii) said first direction x varies according to a function (θ) of a position (P) along said first direction.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of non-spherical magnetic or magnetisable pigment particles and coating compositions comprising those pigment particles for producing optical effect layers (OEL) wherein the magnetic or magnetisable pigment particles are magnetically oriented. In particular, the present invention provides uses of said optical effect layers (OEL) layers as anti-counterfeit means on security documents or security articles. In particular, it relates to the field of non-spherical magnetic or magnetisable pigment particles comprising a magnetic metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, iron, gadolinium and nickel; a magnetic alloy of iron, manganese, cobalt, nickel, or a mixture of two or more thereof; a magnetic oxide of chromium, manganese, cobalt, iron, nickel or a mixture of two or more thereof; or a mixture of two or more thereof, and having a d50 value higher than 6 μm and lower than 13 μm, their uses in coating compositions comprising a binder material for producing an optical effect layer (OEL), OEL obtained thereof and processes for producing said OEL.
