LAYER STRUCTURE WITH MODIFIED STRUCTURE, AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

The invention relates to a layer structure containing: (A) a first transparent radiation-engravable layer (A) with a first surface a1) and a second surface a2) which runs substantially parallel to the surface a1), said first layer (A) having a colorful or black part-engraving, said engraving being generated by means of nonionizing electromagnetic radiation (E), on the first surface a1) which forms a first outer surface of the layer structure; (B) optionally an additional transparent radiation-engravable layer (B) with a first surface b1) facing towards the first layer (A) and another surface b2) facing away from the first layer (A) and running substantially parallel to the surface b1); and (C) optionally at least one additional transparent plastic layer (C), wherein the additional layer (C) is selectively provided in one of a group of options consisting of: on the face of the first surface a1) of the layer (A), on the face of the additional surface b2) of the additional layer (B), between the two layers (A) and (B), or, in the event of additional layers (C), a combination of at least two of said options, and an image of the colorful or black part-engraving is located on the surface of the layer structure in the form of a nontransparent structural modification forming an additional outer surface of the layer structure and lying opposite the first surface a1). The invention likewise relates to the production of the layer structure as well as to a security document containing the layer structure according to the invention.

LASER ENGRAVABLE FLOATING IMAGE FOR SECURITY LAMINATES
20230011918 · 2023-01-12 · ·

Provided is an anti-counterfeit label with multi-focus multi-layer depth-of-field images. The anti-counterfeit label is sequentially provided with a multi-focus microlens array layer, a transparent base membrane layer and a microtext array layer from top to bottom in a laminating mode, and a metal reflective layer is arranged under the microtext array layer; the multi-focus microlens array layer comprises microlenses which are distributed in an array mode and have multiple focuses; the microtext array layer comprises one set or multiple sets of subunit pattern periodic ordered arrays. The anti-counterfeit label has the advantages that the microtext array layer can be amplified by 80-800 times by the multi-focus microlens array layer. The anti-counterfeit label is particularly suitable for popular anti-counterfeiting and can effectively improve the anti-counterfeit capacity.
