  • Patent number: 11155112
    Abstract: A method and a security element with a front side and a rear side lying opposite the front side, wherein the security element has two or more security features, wherein a first security feature of the two or more security features has one or more first layers and a second security feature of the two or more security features has one or more second layers, wherein the first security feature and the second security feature are in particular arranged in register with each other, wherein the first security feature generates at least one first optically variable effect and the second security feature generates at least one second optically variable effect, wherein the at least one first optically variable effect has a first color and the at least one second optically variable effect has a second color, wherein the first color and the second color differ from each other, as well as a method for producing a security element.

  • Patent number: 11124011
    Abstract: A method for producing a security element, wherein a base film is provided, which has a first carrier film and a single- or multilayered decorative ply, wherein a first adhesive layer is applied to a second carrier film and a second adhesive layer is applied to the surface of the first carrier film facing away from the decorative ply or wherein the second adhesive layer is applied to the surface of the first carrier film facing away from the decorative ply and the first adhesive layer is applied to the second adhesive layer, and wherein the second carrier film is applied to the first carrier film such that the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are arranged between the first carrier film and the second carrier film.

  • Patent number: 10434813
    Abstract: A method for producing a security document, with a thermographic substrate wherein the thermographic substrate is caused to undergo a color change depending on temperature effect in at least one first region A film element is arranged in such a way that the film element is arranged between the at least one first region of the thermographic substrate and a thermal print head. At least one first item of information is introduced by means of the thermal print head by activation of the color change in the at least one first region of the thermographic substrate, wherein the thermal print head, during the introduction of the at least one first item of information is in contact with the film element in such a way that the temperature effect causing the activation of the color change is transferred from the thermal print head through the film element to the at least one first region of the thermographic substrate.
