TRANSFER FILM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A TRANSFER FILM
The invention relates to a transfer film (1), in particular a hot stamping film, to the use of a transfer film (1), to a film, to a security document (2), and to a method for producing a transfer film (1). According to the invention, the transfer film (1) comprises a transfer layer (20) removably arranged on a carrier layer (10). Furthermore, the transfer layer (20) comprises at least one first color layer (30). The at least one first color layer (30) comprises at least one binder and at least first pigments, the color appearance of which changes in accordance with the angle of observation.
A multilayer body with a carrier and a layer arranged thereon which comprises electrically conductive material in such an arrangement comprises an information area and a background area (18) which are galvanically separated from each other. In each information area a first zone (10) with electrically conductive material is provided, over the entirety of which electrically conductive material is conductively connected to it. In each background area a plurality of second zones with electrically conductive material is provided, which are galvanically separated from each other. Each first zone (10) preferably occupies a surface area that is at least five times larger than each of the second zones. The electrically conductive material is preferably provided with an average surface coverage which varies over all information areas and background areas (18) by less than 25%. A homogeneous appearance of the multilayer body is thereby ensured, and an item of information provided in the information area, provided by the shape, size and/or alignment of the first zone, is not visible without aids, and therefore cannot be copied.

The invention relates to a security element (1). The security element (1) has a viewing side and a back side that is opposite the latter. The security element comprises at least one luminous layer (2) that can provide light (20), and at least one mask layer (4) that, when the security element (1) is viewed from the viewing side, is arranged in front of the at least one luminous layer (2). The at least one mask layer (4) has at least one opaque region (5) and at least two transparent openings (41, 42). The at least two transparent openings (41, 42) has a substantially higher transmittance than the at least one opaque region (5) in respect of light (20) provided by the at least one luminous layer (2), preferably a transmittance that is at least 20% higher, particularly preferably a transmittance that is at least 50% higher.
