    Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Prägewerkzeug zur Herstellung eines flächigen Retroreflektors, der eine in einem aushärtbaren Prägelack, insbesondere einem UV-Lack, ausgebildete, retroreflektierende Cornercube-Relief Struktur aufweist und eine von einer Einfallsseite einfallende elektromagnetische Strahlung retroreflektiert. Das Prägewerkzeug weist hierbei auf einer Seite eine Anzahl n von aneinander angrenzenden Vertiefungen und/ oder Erhöhungen auf, wobei jede der n Vertiefungen und/ oder Erhöhungen aus drei mit einem bestimmten Winkel (α') zueinander angeordneten Planflächen gebildet wird. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Prägewerkzeugs. Erfindungsgemäß ist der bestimmte Winkel (α') um einen bestimmten Wert X kleiner als 90°, also α' = 90° - X, so dass die durch das Prägwerkzeug in den Prägelack abgeformte Anzahl n von aneinander angrenzenden Erhöhungen und/ oder Vertiefungen nach einem Aushärten des aushärtbaren Prägelacks jeweils aus drei mit einem Winkel von 90° zueinander angeordneten Planflächen bestehen. Erhöhungen des Prägewerkzeugs entsprechen hierbei Vertiefungen im Prägelack und Vertiefungen im Prägewerkzeug Erhöhungen des Prägelacks.

    Abstract: Methods of applying a pattern and security devices are disclosed. In one arrangement, a receiving member (10) having a layered structure (12) is provided. The layered structure (12) comprises a layer of phase change material (PCM, 2). The phase change material (PCM, 2)is thermally switchable between a plurality of stable states having different refractive indices relative to each other. An embossing member (5) is stamped into the receiving member (10). The embossing member (5) heats a selected portion of the layer of phase change material (PCM, 2) via contact with the receiving member (10) during the stamping. The heating thermally switches phase change material (PCM, 2) in the selected portion and thereby applies a pattern of different refractive indices to the layer of phase change material (PCM, 2).

    Abstract: In anti-forgery securities printing, various security features are used to increase the security. The most important security element and feature of security documents is the raised print. There are limitations in the current technologies in terms of durability, quality, and number of colors used in Intaglio raised print. Furthermore, the equipment relevant to the security industry is huge and expensive. In the present invention, a system has been introduced to create various security features in securities wherein all of the processes including the raised printing are introduced in an all-in-one device. The present innovation not only removes the mentioned restrictions by removing the conventional printing plates, but also makes it possible to print documents in low volumes or circulations and significantly reduces the printing costs.

    Abstract: A security device is disclosed. The security device comprises an array of reflective sampling elements, which are eg convex micromirrors (101). A non-dispersive colour-generating relief structure (102) is formed in a surface of the reflective sampling elements. The non- dispersive colour-generating relief structure defines an array of image elements across the array of reflective sampling elements. The array of image elements defined by the non-dispersive colour-generating relief structure and the array of reflective sampling elements cooperate to exhibit an optically variable effect. The non- dispersive colour-generating relief structure can be an array of plasmonic nanostructures in the form of nanopillars each having a shaft (114) which can be a dielectric layer (111) being coated with a metal layer (112), or can be a zero-order diffraction grating (124), or can be an array of nanoholes (115). Each micromirror can be a Fresnel micromirror. The device can also comprise an array of anti- reflective nanostructures (35), eg moth-eye relief structures.

    Abstract: L'invention concerne une image couleur (IG) comprenant : une première couche (10) comportant une structure holographique formant un arrangement (29) de pixels (30) comportant chacun des sous-pixels (32) de couleurs distinctes; et des moyens de modulation de couleur configurés pour sélectionner la couleur des pixels (30) en modifiant la contribution colorimétrique des sous-pixels (32) les uns par rapport aux autres dans les pixels (30) de sorte à révéler une image couleur personnalisée. Les moyens de modulation de couleur peuvent comprendre : des régions de la structure holographique, dites régions détruites, qui sont détruites localement par laser; des moyens de masquage positionnés en regard de l'arrangement de pixels pour masquer localement tout ou partie de sous-pixels; ou encore des moyens d'amplification positionnés en regard de l'arrangement de pixels pour amplifier localement la luminosité de tout ou partie de sous-pixels.
