SECURITY ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a security element (1). The security element (1) includes a visible side and an opposite back side. The security element comprises at least one luminous layer (2) capable of providing light (20), and at least one mask layer (4) which, when viewing the security element (1) from the visible side, is arranged in front of the at least one luminous layer (2). The at least one mask layer (4) includes at least one opaque region (5) and at least two transparent openings (41, 42). The at least two transparent openings (41, 42) have a substantially higher rate of transmission than the at least one opaque region (5) with respect to the light (20) provided by the at least one luminous layer (2), preferably a 20% higher rate of transmission, more preferably a 50% higher rate of transmission.
