  • Holograms with a discontinuous metal layer comprising regions of dissimilar transmittance and articles incorporating them
    Publication number: 20060262366
    Abstract: A holographic overlay comprising a holographic design and a plurality of zones of varying transmittance to increase viewability of underlying information-bearing areas of a document. The plurality of zones are generated and applied in register to the underlying document.

  • Continually variable dementalization of metalized films and similar objects
    Publication number: 20060114530
    Abstract: A method of generating a variable demetallized pattern in a holographic web and a security device using such method. A holographic microstructure pattern is imparted to an oligomer disposed on a surface of a substrate. A metal layer, such as aluminum, is deposited to the holographic microstructure pattern of the substrate and then covered with a variable resist pattern. The variable demetallized pattern in the holographic web is then generated by removing the metal layer not covered by said variable resist pattern.
