A semitransparent OV device is formed using a partially transparent reflective layer having a thickness below the opaque point. For example, a partially transparent aluminum layer having a thickness of less than 20 nm, coated with a dielectric layer and an absorber layer, provides a color shifting optical stack that is partially transparent, so that an image or text printed on the substrate under the optical stack or on the opposite side of the substrate, is visible therethrough. In one embodiment, the substrate is light transmissive so that the OV foil is semitransparent so that information printed on paper and covered with such a foil may be read through this foil.
