SECURITY ELEMENT HAVING AN OPTICALLY VARIABLE STRUCTURE COMPRISING MICRO-MIRRORS

摘要

The invention relates to a security element having an optically variable structure which comprises a plurality of embossed elements, each embossed element consisting of at least two flanks that extend toward one another in a specific angle and/or a specific direction. The surface of the embossed elements is designed to reflect light. Furthermore, the security element consists of at least two groups of embossed elements, wherein the at least two groups differ from each other only in the angle and/or the direction with which or by which the flanks of the embossed elements extend toward one another. According to the invention, each embossed element has a regular hexagonal base surface.
