Publication number: 20220134792Abstract: An identification document (1) with a personalization region (3) for receiving biometric image information (5) is proposed. The personalization region (3) comprises a recording layer (11) for image information as well as a lens arrangement (20). Viewing the biometric image information (5) is effected through the lens arrangement (20). The biometric image information (5) holds basic information (12) consisting of a base image (15) and a derivative image (16) derived from the base image (15). The derivative image (16) shows or emphasizes a constituent of the base image (15) that is essential for recognition. At a first viewing angle (?1) the base image (15) is dominantly recognizable, at a second viewing angle (?1) the derivative image (16), so that in the perception of the image information combined from base image (15) and derivative image (16) a plastic overall impression arises.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Klaus Kohl, Günter Endres

Patent number: 10336123Abstract: An easily manufacturable multilayer security element has an opaque functional layer that is arranged between two build-up layers of transmissive material. The opaque functional layer has at least one cutout. The layers are connected by lamination to form an areal body with planar surfaces. The cutout is filled up with transmissive material of the build-up layers. One build-up layer supports a feature carrier layer. A security feature, which is arranged at least partially below the cutout, is formed in the feature carrier layer and/or between the functional layer and the feature carrier layer. The cutout forms an inner window through which the security feature is recognizable.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT MOBILE SECURITY GMBHInventors: Günter Endres, Klaus Kohl, Tobias Rosati

Patent number: 10176421Abstract: This disclosure includes a method for manufacturing a portable data carrier, an inlay for a data carrier, and a data carrier. A data carrier body has a gap for a chip and a chip is incorporated into the gap. In a subsequent step a cover layer is laid on the data carrier body, and the data carrier body and the cover layer are laminated. After the incorporation of the chip and before the lamination, a stabilizing agent is applied into the gap of the core layer, which remains soft or flexible during the lamination and cures or is activated (e.g. by means of UV radiation) only after the lamination, in order for mechanical tensions to be avoided.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2013Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT MOBILE SECURITY GMBHInventors: Walter Ponikwar, Thomas Tarantino, Tobias Salzer, Andreas Braun, Gunter Endres

Patent number: 8778834Abstract: A multi-layer card-shaped data carrier has a marking layer containing a hidden marking, and a thermochromic cover layer arranged over the marking layer at least in the area of the hidden marking. The thermochromic cover layer is opaque below its change temperature, hides the marking, and is translucent or transparent above its change temperature, enabling viewing of the marking. The thermochromic cover layer is pervious to radiation outside the visible spectral range and the marking layer absorbs radiation energy outside the visible spectral range, so that the hidden marking can be incorporated into the marking layer through the thermochromic cover layer by laser radiation of a wavelength outside the visible spectral range.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Günter Endres, Tobias Salzer
