- the rastered metal layer 176 which is indicated in the recesses 163, 164 in FIGS. 6 (a), (c), (d), has a line grid 167 in the exemplary embodiment. This produces a certain semitransparency of the metal layer 176, as a result of which the recesses 163, 164 can also be seen in transmitted light.

- the security element 190 has a layer structure whose sequence of layers substantially corresponds to the layer sequence shown in FIG.
- the metal layer 191 is configured as a thin, semitransparent or rastered metal layer which lies over the entire area.
- Arranged on the metal layer 191 is an opaque, preferably black layer, not shown in FIG. 8, on which a cholesteric liquid crystal layer 192 is present in overlap.
- the liquid crystal layer 192 clearly appears in the shape of a triangle 194 only in the areas where it overlaps with the opaque layer.
- the image parts 196 covered by a ⁇ / 2 layer of nematic liquid-crystalline material are merely indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 8 (a) and can hardly be recognized without auxiliary means, since the security element is in the covered as well as the uncovered regions essentially the same amount of light is reflected.
- the security element 190 is arranged on a black base 198 (FIG. 8 (b)), the star-shaped pattern formed by the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 192 emerges essentially completely.

- FIGS. 9 to 16 schematically show further exemplary embodiments of the invention in which the special properties of the liquid crystal layers are used in particular.
- the security element 60 of FIG. 9 contains two cholesteric liquid crystal layers 62 and 64, which in the exemplary embodiment are applied to an opaque, preferably black layer 22 provided with a machine-readable feature. Of course, further layers can also be provided in the layer structure.
- the two liquid crystal layers 62 and 64 have the same color reflection spectrum, but differ in the orientation of the reflected circular polarization. While the first liquid crystal layer 62 in the exemplary embodiment reflects left circularly polarized light, the second liquid crystal layer 64 reflects right-circularly polarized light. In contrast, left circularly polarized light is transmitted by the second liquid crystal layer 64 without substantial absorption. It is understood that the stated polarization directions serve only for illustration and in the context of the inventionsver ⁇ course can also be chosen differently.
- Such opposing selective reflection can be achieved, for example, by creating the two cholesteric liquid crystal layers 62 and 64 from the same nematic liquid crystal system using mutually mirror-image twisters.
- a mirror-image helical arrangement of the rod-shaped liquid crystal molecules in the two liquid crystal layers can be achieved so that one layer reflects right-handed, the other layer left circularly polarized light.
- the color of the light reflected by the liquid crystal layers depends, as in the embodiments described above, on the viewing direction, and changes, for example, from red to green during the transition from vertical to acute-angled viewing.
- the first liquid crystal layer 62 is in the embodiment of FIG. 9 only partially in the form of a motif, such as a lettering, or a pattern before. If the security element 60 is viewed without auxiliary means, then the color-shift effect of the second liquid-crystal layer 64 appears in the first place. In the overlapping region 68 of the two layers, the motif is recognizable with the same color impression but an increased brightness relative to its surroundings since light of both circular polarization directions is reflected in the overlap region 68, while only right-circularly polarized light is reflected, as shown by the arrows 70 of the reflected light is displayed.
- a motif such as a lettering, or a pattern before.
- a circular polarizer 72 which transmits only left circularly polarized light, then the motif formed by the first liquid crystal layer 62 passes with high brightness. contrast, since the circular polarizer 72 completely fades out the right circularly polarized light reflected by the second liquid crystal layer 64.
- a circular polarizer 72 can be formed, for example, by a linear polarizer and a downstream ⁇ / 4 plate.
- the second liquid crystal layer 64 or both liquid crystal layers 62, 64 in the form of motifs can be present in an analogous manner.
- a motif in the second liquid crystal layer 64 can be made clearly visible by means of a circular polarizer which transmits right circularly polarized light. With a viewing device containing both types of polarizers, the motifs can be displayed easily in one or both layers.
- FIG. 10 shows a security element 30 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which a first cholesteric liquid crystal layer 32 and on this a second cholesteric liquid crystal layer 34 are arranged on an opaque, preferably black layer 22 provided with a machine-readable feature. Due to the interplay of the two liquid crystal layers 32 and 34, the security element 30 has a new type of color shift effect, which conveys to the viewer a color impression which changes with the viewing direction. When viewed perpendicularly, the security element 30 appears to the viewer in the exemplary embodiment blue / violet (reflected radiation 301), while viewed from an acute angle, it offers a red color impression (reflected radiation 302).
- This novel color-changing game in which the color impression of the security element when tilting from short-wave to longer-wave light changes due to the fact that the first liquid crystal layer 32 reflects blue light (arrow 321) in the vertical viewing direction and shorter-wave UV radiation (arrow 322) in the acute-angled viewing direction.
- the second liquid crystal layer 34 is designed such that it reflects infrared radiation (arrow 341) in the vertical viewing direction and shorter-wave red light (arrow 342) in the acute-angled viewing direction.
- the two reflection components 321 and 342 lying outside the visible spectral range contribute nothing to the color impression of the security element, so that a blue color impression 301 results for the viewer when viewed vertically and a long-color red color impression 302 when viewed at an acute angle.
- FIG. 11 A further embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 11.
- a first cholesteric liquid crystal layer 42 is applied to an opaque, preferably black layer 22, provided with a machine-readable feature, and a second cholesteric liquid crystal layer 44 is applied thereon.
- the first liquid-crystal layer 42 is only applied in regions to the opaque layer 22 and forms a motif through the shape or the outline of the applied areas, in the exemplary embodiment a blazon 46 Liquid crystal layer 44 is applied over entire surface of first liquid crystal layer 42 or in the released regions on opaque layer 22.
- the two liquid crystal layers are matched to one another in such a way that the coat of arms motif 46 is clearly visible to the viewer when the security element (FIG. 11 (b)) is vertically viewed and tilting of the security element 40, that is to say the transition from vertical to acute-angled viewing vanishes, as indicated by the dashed outline in FIG. 11 (c). interpreted.
- the disappearance of the coat of arms motif 46 is achieved in that the partially applied liquid crystal layer 42 when tilting a color shift effect of blue (arrow 421) to ultraviolet (arrow 422) shows, while the second liquid crystal layer 44 has a changing between two colors of the visible spectral range color shift effect and at For example, between red (arrow 441) and green (arrow 442) varies.
- a color impression 401 results in the overlapping area 48 of the two layers, which is given by the additive color mixing of the blue light 421 of the first liquid crystal layer 42 and the red light 441 of the second liquid crystal layer 44, while outside the overlapping area only the red color impression of the second liquid crystal layer 44 can be seen. Due to the color contrast in the reflected light 401, the crest motif 46 clearly emerges for the operator.
- the first liquid crystal layer 42 in the overlap region 48 only reflects ultraviolet light lying outside the visible spectral range to the viewer.
- the liquid crystal layer 42 thus contributes neither to the color impression 402 of the security element 40 in the overlapping area 48 nor outside the area of overlap. Under spit ⁇ zem viewing angle, therefore, the motif is not visible, and the Bet ⁇ rachter has the impression that the crest motif 46 disappears when tilting the security element 40 from the vertical.
- a security element 50 can be produced with a motif that appears when tilting, as shown in FIG. 12.
- a partially applied cholesteric liquid crystal layer 52 is so formed so that when tilting a Farbkippeff ect of infrared (arrow 521) to red (arrow 522) shows.
- a second cholesteric liquid crystal layer 54 again exhibits a color shift effect between two colors of the visible spectral range, and varies, for example, between cyan (arrow 541) and violet (arrow 542).
- the subject 56 is not recognizable when viewed perpendicularly in the reflected light 501, since at most invisible infrared radiation is reflected by the first liquid crystal layer 52 in the vertical viewing direction. Only when the security element 50 is tilted does the subject become recognizable to the viewer, since the first liquid crystal layer 52 then reflects red light to the viewer in the overlapping area 58 and the motif 56 in the reflected light 502 thus stands out from the violet color impression outside the overlapping area 58 ,
- the security element has a three-layered liquid-crystal structure in which a ⁇ / 2-layer is arranged between two cholesteric liquid-crystal layers having the same light-polarizing properties.
- the security element 100 has a layer sequence deposited on an opaque, preferably black layer 22, provided with a machine-readable feature, which comprises a first cholesteric liquid crystal layer 102, a ⁇ / 2 layer 104 of nematic liquid-crystalline material and a second cholesteric liquid crystal layer 106.
- the light-polarizing properties of the first and second liquid crystal layers 102 and 106 are identical, so that the two layers, taken separately, have light in the same preselected wavelength range and with reflect the same preselected circular polarization direction. All layers can be applied over the entire surface or only in certain areas in order to form different or complementary motifs, such as characters or patterns.
- the reflection properties of the various possible layer sequences are illustrated in FIG. 13. It is assumed that the two semiconductor liquid crystal layers 102 and 106 reflect left circularly polarized light and that the security element is illuminated with unpolarized light.
- first region 110 in which only the first liquid crystal layer 102 is present, left circularly polarized light is reflected.
- the security element in a second region 112, in which the first liquid crystal layer 102 is covered by the ⁇ / 2 layer 104, the security element, as already explained in connection with FIG. 4, reflects right circularly polarized light.
- the upper liquid crystal layer 106 in a third region 114, in which all three layers are present, the upper liquid crystal layer 106 reflects left circularly polarized light and transmits right circularly polarized light. The transmitted light is converted by the ⁇ / 2 layer 104 into left circularly polarized light, which is then reflected by the first liquid crystal layer 102.
- the reflected light is converted by the ⁇ / 2 layer 104 again into right-circularly polarized light, which is transmitted from the second liquid crystal layer 106.
- the layer sequence 102, 104, 106 also reflects right-circularly polarized light in addition to left circularly polarized light, as shown in FIG.
- the upper liquid crystal layer 106 reflects left circularly polarized light.

- the motif of the ⁇ / 2 layer 104 appears with the same color impression as its surroundings, but is reflected by the substantially double reflected light in the regions 126 due to the reflection of both the left circular and the right circularly polarized light Amount of light already recognizable without aids. If the security element 120 is further illuminated by a circular polarizer 122 with right-circularly polarized light, the motif for the observer 124 appears without further assistance with strong contrast, since the right-circularly polarized light in the areas 126, in which all three Layers overlap, is reflected, while in areas 128 without ⁇ / 2-layer 104 from the upper and lower liquid crystal layers 106 and 102, respectively, and absorbed in the black layer 22.
- FIG. 15 shows a security element 130 according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, which, with respect to its layer sequence, is essentially constructed like the security element 120 of FIG. 14.

- the ⁇ / 2 layer is of course likewise divided by two ⁇ / 4 in layer sequences which do not have a second cholesteric liquid-crystal layer, as shown for example in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 4. Partial layers can be replaced. These ⁇ / 4 partial layers can also be locally rotated relative to one another in their orientation in the layer plane.
