Abstract:
The invention relates to a storage medium comprising a security feature, having a substrate (1, 4, 10), at least one functional layer (2, 5, 11), at least one feature which is written into the functional layer (2, 5, 11) and is visible when reflected and at least one feature which is written into the functional layer (2, 5, 11) and is visible when transmitted, at least one feature being individualized and at least one feature having a diffractive structure. The invention solves the technical problem of providing a larger variety of combinations of different security features. The invention also relates to a method for producing a storage medium comprising a security feature.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for calculating a computer-generated hologram, in which the pixel distribution of the computer-generated hologram is calculated, in which the pixel distribution of a macroscopic superstructure is calculated and in which the pixel distribution of at least one computer-generated hologram is interconnected with the pixel distribution of the macroscopic superstructure to form a pixel distribution to be written in a storage medium. Similarly, the invention relates to a method for writing the hologram, a storage medium and also a reading device. Therefore, both a computer-generated hologram and a macroscopic superstructure which can contain directly readable information can be brought together in a pixel distribution.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of providing an article with identifying information, in which a hologram is provided from which at least first and second hologram patterns separated physically from each other can be reproduced. In this case, provision is made for the hologram to be produced in such a way that the first and second hologram patterns can generally be reproduced in one and the same direction but in different planes.
