SECURITY ELEMENT WITH AN OPTICAL EFFECT LAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042785 titled 'SECURITY ELEMENT WITH AN OPTICAL EFFECT LAYER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a security element that provides increased protection against forgery. It includes a first region with structures that reflect an image motif in different spatial regions, creating a moving image when a light source is moved or the viewing angle is changed. The image motif moves simultaneously with the light source or change in viewing angle. Additionally, an optical effect layer is provided, covering the structures either fully or partially, and defining a second region.

  • The patent application describes a security element with enhanced anti-forgery features.
  • The security element includes structures in a first region that reflect an image motif in different spatial regions.
  • When the light source is moved or the viewing angle is changed, a moving image is produced for the observer.
  • The image motif moves in sync with the movement of the light source or change in viewing angle.
  • An optical effect layer is present, covering the structures fully or partially, and defining a second region.

Potential Applications:

  • Banknotes and currency to prevent counterfeiting.
  • Identification cards and passports to enhance security features.
  • Product packaging to provide authentication and anti-counterfeiting measures.

Problems Solved:

  • Counterfeiting and forgery of valuable documents and products.
  • Enhancing security measures to protect against fraudulent activities.

Benefits:

  • Increased protection against forgery and counterfeiting.
  • Enhanced security features that are difficult to replicate.
  • Improved authentication and verification of documents and products.


Original Abstract Submitted

a security element with increased protection against forgery includes at least one first region with structures that reflect an image motif in different spatial regions, such that a moving image is produced for an observer when a light source is moved correspondingly and/or when the viewing angle is changed. when the light source is moved and/or the viewing angle is changed, a movement of the image motif occurs at the same time. furthermore, an optical effect layer is provided which defines a second region. the structures are covered by the optical effect layer over their entire surface or partially.
