In order to increase the protection against counterfeiting, according to the invention, at least one of the two polymer layers (1, 2) has an opacity at least in the region of the bounding contour (4) of the overprint surface (5) and the opacity of said polymer layer is matched to the opacity of the overprint surface (5) in order to lessen the visual detectability of the bounding contour (4) of the overprint surface (5) of the luminescent halftone image (3) on the security element (100, 101).
The invention relates to a value document (201, 202), having a security element (100, 101, 102), and a security element in the form of a strip, having a first polymer layer (2), which has at least one stamped refraction structure (3), at least one reflection layer (4), which optically interacts with the diffraction structure (3) in order to form a reflection hologram (5) as a first visually detectable security feature, and at least one overprint (6), which is luminescent under UV radiation and which forms a second security feature, which is visually detectable under UV light, the reflection hologram (5) having at least one see-through region (8) to the second security feature. In order to increase the antiforgery security of the security element, according to the invention, the luminescent overprint (6) has a halftone image (60) and the see-through region (8) is formed by at least one opening (7) in the reflection layer (4) and by the polymer layer (2), which is free of the diffraction structure (3) in this region of the opening (7) at least over the halftone image (60) of the overprint (6).
A security element (100, 101) and a value document (200, 201) having such a security element (100, 101) in the form of a strip having a first (1) and second polymer layer (2) are shown, having a visually recognizable halftone print image (3), which is luminescent under UV radiation, between the first (1) and second layer (2), wherein the halftone print image (3) has an opacity and forms at least one imprint area (5) having a boundary contour (4) within the security element (100, 101). To increase the forgery protection, it is proposed that at least one of the two polymer layers (1,2) have an opacity at least in the region of the boundary contour (4) of the imprint area (5) and be adapted in its opacity to the opacity of the imprint area (5), in order to diminish the visual recognizability of the boundary contour (4) of the imprint area (5) of the luminescent halftone print image (3) on the security element (100, 101).
The invention relates to a value document (201, 202), having a security element (100, 101, 102), and a security element in the form of a strip, having a first polymer layer (2), which has at least one stamped refraction structure (3), at least one reflection layer (4), which optically interacts with the diffraction structure (3) in order to form a reflection hologram (5) as a first visually detectable security feature, and at least one overprint (6), which is luminescent under UV radiation and which forms a second security feature, which is visually detectable under UV light, the reflection hologram (5) having at least one see-through region (8) to the second security feature. In order to increase the antiforgery security of the security element, according to the invention, the luminescent overprint (6) has a halftone image (60) and the see-through region (8) is formed by at least one opening (7) in the reflection layer (4) and by the polymer layer (2), which is free of the diffraction structure (3) in this region of the opening (7) at least over the halftone image (60) of the overprint (6).
The invention relates to a security element having a coating consisting of a material which has an optically variable effect, in particular a colour shift effect, and has recesses that can be recognised in transmitted light, wherein the security element comprises a support substrate, a partial layer with recesses, and a layer structure that generates a colour shift effect, characterised in that the security element, on the face which has the coating consisting of the material that has an optically variable effect, comprises one or more partial coatings consisting of a layer which has colours that are transparent in visible light and fluorescent in UV light.
The invention relates to a transfer film comprising a carrier film and a metallic layer applied thereto, wherein a layer that consists of a coating is applied to said metallic layer and reduces, through said metallic layer, the adhesion of the metallic layer to the carrier film.

The invention relates to a method (100) for producing a security element (1) with a metallized optical diffraction structure (8) in an imprinted coating layer (3). A coating layer (3) is applied onto a support (2), and the layer is imprinted and cured. By means of the imprinting process of the coating layer (3), structural depressions (6), structural elevations (7), and an optical diffraction structure (8) are produced. A reflective layer (9, 9') is subsequently provided on the structural depressions (6) and the structural elevations (7) of the imprinted coating layer (3) by means of a metallization process, and the reflective layer (9, 9') is then selectively demetallized. The aim of the invention is to provide a simple and reliable method for producing a security element. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the optical diffraction structure (8) is imprinted on at least one structural elevation (7), and the selective demetallization process includes a step of connecting at least the metallized structural elevation (7) which has the optical diffraction structure (8) to a transfer support (11) and a subsequent step of separating the structural elevation (7) connected to a transfer support (11) both from the support (2) as well as from at least one metallized structural depression (6) adjoining the structural elevation (7) by removing the transfer support (11) from the support (2).

The invention relates to a security element for banknotes, value documents, and data carriers, comprising a carrier substrate and a coating, which has a color-shifting effect, characterized in that the coating has at least two possibly repeating regions having different color-shifting effects, wherein the regions are matched to each other in such a way that, when the angle of observation is continuously changed, the original color of the first region appears first in the region adjacent to said first region or in the region spaced from said first region or in a region at least partially overlapping with said first region and, when the angle of observation is changed further, appears in the further adjacent, spaced, or overlapping regions.
The invention relates to a security element having a coating consisting of a material which has an optically variable effect, in particular a colour shift effect, and has recesses that can be recognised in transmitted light, wherein the security element comprises a support substrate, a partial layer with recesses, and a layer structure that generates a colour shift effect, characterised in that the security element, on the face which has the coating consisting of the material that has an optically variable effect, comprises one or more partial coatings consisting of a layer which has colours that are transparent in visible light and fluorescent in UV light.
The invention relates to a method for producing a deformable printed-circuit substrate in the form of a laminate consisting of an adhesion promoter film (1), optionally an adhesive layer (2), a printed-circuit film substrate (3) and a purely metallic conductor track (4), the latter having a preferred thickness of the order of magnitude of 1000 atomic layers. The invention also relates to a deformable printed-circuit substrate (1-4). In the method according to the invention, the printed-circuit substrate (1-4) is shaped by means of a gaseous pressure medium, at a temperature above the glass transition temperature and below the melting temperature of the printed-circuit film substrate (3) being shaped, under a sudden, high gas pressure. Thanks to the invention, sharply deformed printed-circuit substrates, in particular freely or spherically shaped printed-circuit substrates can be produced, even with purely metallic conductor tracks. Optional back-moulding (9) and application of decorative layers (11) and/or coating layers (10) allow producing multifunctional, seamlessly and freely shaped plastic components with integrated electronic elements.
