    Abstract: An identification card, in particular an all-plastic indentification card, written on by means of a laser, having user-related and user-neutral data such as a name, account number, etc. present on the surface of the indentification card in the form of local discolorations of the identification card material without any transition. Due to a local increase in tensile strength, these decolorized areas have greater resistance to mechanical changes and/or chemical solvents than the surrounding areas of the identification card made of the same identification card material. Thus attempted falsification by means of mechanical and chemical means is prevented in an especially effective way, since such attempts lead to destruction of the identification card in each case. The personalization of the identification card with the freely selectable user-related data can take place by preference decentrally by means of a laser beam, the energy of which is controlled in such a way that the identification card material is decolorized but not destroyed.

    Abstract: A multi-layered engraved identification card includes a base layer having a first color and a color-changeable, heat sensitive layer initially having a second color which is changeable to a third color contrasting with the first color upon heating to a first temperature for a specified period of time. The color-changeable layer is initially prepared as a solution of a resin, a plasticizer, a heat-sensitive coloring agent for causing the color change, and a solvent in which both the base and the resin of the solution are soluable. Alternatively, the solution may further include a cross-linkable plasticizer with a peroxide to cause the resin of the solution and the plastic of the base to be cross-linked and hence bonded permanently to the base. The engraving may be done after the color changeable layer is formed on the base, or alternatively, the base may be first engraved and the color-changeable solution applied to the non-engraved surface regions or applied to fill the engraved depressions.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to security, or decorative elements, comprising a transparent, or translucent substrate, which may contain indicia or other visible features in or on its surface, and on at least part of the substrate surface, a first layer, comprising transition metal particles having an average diameter of from 5 nm to 500 nm and a binder, on at least part of the first layer a second layer, comprising an organic material and having a refractive index of from 1.2 to 2.3 and having a thickness of from 20 to 1000 nm, wherein the transition metal is silver, copper, gold and palladium, wherein the weight ratio of transition metal particles to binder in the first layer is in the range from 20:1 to 1:2 in case the binder is a polymeric binder, or wherein the weight ratio of transition metal particles to binder in the first layer is in the range from 5:1 to 1:15 in case the binder is an UV curable binder. The security or decorative element show a certain color in transmission and a different color in reflection and a color flop on the coating side. The color in reflection and the color flop of the security or decorative elements are controlled by adjusting the refractive index and thickness of the second layer.

    Abstract: A flexible security document is provided which contains an authentication device including: a) source of electrical potential (5), the source including a piezoelectric polymeric material including at least one terpolymer of vinylidene fluoride (VDF), trifluoroethylene (TrFE) and a halogenated ethylene based monomer containing at least one non-fluorine halogen atom, the source of electrical potential being activated by mechanical deformation; b) reporter element (3) including a material capable of switching electrically between a first state and a second state, the difference between the first state and the second state being able to be perceived by an unaided human; and c) conducting elements (8) electrically connecting the source of electrical potential and the reporter element to produce an electric circuit. The reporter element (3) may take a number of different forms, such as a light emitting device which lights up or undergoes color change when activated by the source of electrical potential to provide an indication of authenticity. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the flexible security document is a banknote and the source of electrical potential is applied by printing.

    Abstract: A chemical gas phase deposition process comprises steps of providing a high vacuum chamber, and inside the high vacuum chamber: positioning a substrate surface; positioning a mask parallel to the substrate surface, whereby the mask comprises one or more openings; adjusting a gap of determined dimension between the substrate surface and the mask; and orienting a plurality of chemical precursor beams of at least one precursor species towards the mask with line of sight propagation, each of the plurality of chemical precursor beams being emitted from an independent punctual source, and molecules of the chemical precursor pass through the one or more mask openings to impinge onto the substrate surface for deposition thereon. At least a part of the chemical precursor molecules decompose on the substrate surface at a decomposition temperature. The process further comprises adjusting a temperature of the substrate surface greater or equal to the chemical precursor molecule decomposition temperature, thereby remaining greater than a mask temperature, and maintaining the mask temperature below the decomposition temperature, thereby causing a decomposition of the chemical precursor and a growth of a film on the substrate surface, but not on the mask; and heating the substrate surface using a heating device.
