  • Patent number: 7700402
    Abstract: The invention concerns a film having at least one electrical component and a process for the production of such a film. An adhesive layer comprising a radiation-cross-linkable adhesive is applied to a base film. The adhesive layer is applied to the base film in a form of being structured in pattern form and/or is irradiated in pattern form in such a way that the adhesive layer hardens with structuring in pattern form. A transfer film which comprises a carrier film and an electrical functional layer is applied to the adhesive layer. The carrier film is pulled off the film body comprising the base film, the adhesive layer and the electrical functional layer, wherein in a first region structured in pattern form the electrical functional layer remains on the base film and in a second region structured in pattern form the electrical functional layer remains on the carrier film and is pulled off the base film with the carrier film.

  • Patent number: 7405879
    Abstract: The invention concerns an optically variable element and a security product having such an optically variable element, a foil, in particular an embossing foil or a laminating foil having such an optically variable element, and a process for producing such an optically variable element. The optically variable element has a thin film layer succession with at least one spacer layer for producing color shifts by means of interference. In a first region of the thin film layer succession the spacer layer is of a different layer thickness from in a second region of the thin film layer succession. In that case the layer thicknesses of the spacer layer in the first and second regions are so selected that in the first region of the thin film layer succession a first color shift is produced by means of interference and in the second region of the thin film layer succession a second color shift which is different from the first color shift is produced.
