Security element for a data carrier, data carrier comprising such a security element, semifinished product for producing a data carrier, and method for producing a data carrier

摘要

The security element has a pattern, and in particular a Moiré pattern which contains a coded pattern or image which is made visible through a filter. The filter is arranged on a layer that is fixedly connected to a substrate, a distance of at least 0.025 mm being present between the pattern and the filter. When the security element is tilted, the pattern or the image moves continuously. The pattern is preferably a band Moiré pattern. The filter is preferably a line filter that is laser-transmissive. The pattern is preferably produced through the filter by means of a laser. The security element according to the invention is distinguished by high security against forgery and can nevertheless be produced in a comparatively cost-effective manner.
