  • Patent number: 6835948
    Abstract: A transfer recording material allowing the production of customized holographic images is described. The transfer recording material comprises a multilayer structure on a carrier forming a plurality of panels. A portion of the multilayer structure corresponding to a panel comprises an embossable layer (holographic layer) wherein each pixel is configured to reflect incoming light at a predetermined angle &agr;1. Each pixel corresponding to the embossable layer of an adjacent panel is configured to reflect incoming light at a different predetermined angle &agr;2. The transfer recording material can have as many panels as desired by a particular application, each of the layers having an embossable layer with pixels configured to reflect incoming light at a certain angle &agr;. The transfer material is therefore formed by a plurality of spaced-apart panels each of which comprises an embossable holographic layer reflecting light at a predetermined angle different from that of other panels.
