- the second visual identification 26 should have the visual impression of a copy of the first visual identification 14. Due to the inverse response of the optically variable ink in the second region 22 formed by the transfer element 24 to laser radiation compared to the response of the recording layer 16 in the first region 12, the radiation distribution of the laser radiation in describing the second region 22 is inverse to the radiation distribution in describing the first region 12 configured. Whereas in the first visual identification 14 dark image areas with high laser energy and bright image areas with low laser energy are generated, in the second visual identification 26 bright, in the exemplary embodiment silver, image areas with high laser energy and dark, in the exemplary embodiment blue, image locations with low laser energy are generated ,
- a positive impression negative image is written in the second region 22.
- the portrait photos in the two areas 12 and 22 are therefore in each case positive images and therefore for verification purposes.
- the authenticity of the ID card 10 is comparable. If a counterfeiter attempts to manipulate the portrait photos by laser irradiation, he experiences that the laser beam produces 12 dark lines in the portrait photo of the first area, while in the portrait photo of the second area 22, on the other hand, there are light lines.
- the badge 10 may have additional layers, for example one or more protective layers or functional layers provided with other security elements. These further layers are neither shown nor described in detail in the figures.

Abstract
Description
Identifikationsdokument mit einer personalisierten visuellen Kennzeichnung sowie Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung Identification document with a personalized visual identification and method for its production
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Identifikationsdokument mit einer personalisierten ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung, welche in einem ersten Bereich des Identifikationsdokuments angeordnet ist, wobei der erste Bereich derart konfiguriert ist, dass bei Laserbestrahlung desselben aus Materialumwandlungen resultierende lokalen Verdunklungen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikati- onsdokuments erzeugt werden. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Herstellungsverfahren für ein Identifikationsdokument. The invention relates to an identification document with a personalized first visual identification, which is arranged in a first region of the identification document, wherein the first region is configured such that laser irradiation of the same resulting from material conversions local obfuscations of the visual impression of the identification document are generated. Furthermore, the invention relates to a production method for an identification document.
Identifikationsdokumente, wie beispielsweise Ausweiskarten, Kreditkarten, Bankkarten, Versicherungskarten, Mitgliedschaftskarten, Zugangskarten, e- lektronische Geldbörsen und dergleichen, werden in steigendem Maße in verschiedenen Dienstleistungssektoren, aber auch im innerbetrieblichen Bereich eingesetzt. Sie müssen dabei in der Regel zwei gegenläufige Bedingungen erfüllen. So stellen sie wegen ihrer großen Verbreitung zum einen ein Massenprodukt dar, das einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen sein soll. Zum anderen sollen sie aufgrund ihrer Legitimationsfunktion größtmögliche Sicherheit gegen Fälschung oder Verfälschung bieten. Die Vielzahl der erhältlichen Arten von Ausweiskarten ist Zeugnis für die zahlreichen Bemühungen und die verschiedenartigen Vorschläge, wie diese gegenläufigen Anforderungen in geeigneter Weise miteinander verbunden werden können. Identification documents, such as identity cards, credit cards, bank cards, insurance cards, membership cards, access cards, electronic wallets and the like, are increasingly used in various service sectors, but also in the in-house area. They usually have to meet two opposing conditions. Because of their widespread use, they are a mass-produced product that should be simple and inexpensive to produce. On the other hand, they should offer the greatest possible security against counterfeiting or falsification due to their legitimacy function. The variety of types of ID cards available is testimony to the numerous efforts and various suggestions as to how these conflicting requirements can be properly linked.
Beispielsweise ist aus der deutschen Patentschrift DE 31 51 407 Cl eine mehrschichtige Ausweiskarte bekannt, die mit einer Plastikf olie als Aufzeichnungsmedium ausgestattet ist. Die Plastikfolie erscheint im sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich völlig intransparent, absorbiert jedoch bei der Wellen- länge eines zum Einschreiben von Informationen benutzten Infrarotlasers so stark, dass sich durch die Einwirkung der Laserstrahlung eine lokale For example, from German Patent DE 31 51 407 Cl a multi-layer ID card is known, which is equipped with a plastic film as a recording medium. The plastic film appears completely non-transparent in the visible wavelength range, but absorbs at the wavelength Length of an infrared laser used for writing information so strong that by the action of the laser radiation, a local
Schwärzung der Folie ergibt. Damit können Bilder und/ oder Daten mit einer guten Auflösung in die Plastikfolie eingeschrieben werden. Blackening of the film results. This allows images and / or data to be written in the plastic film with a good resolution.
Jedoch sind derartige lasergravierte Bilder nicht vor nachträglicher Hinzufügung zusätzlicher Informationen sicher. So ist es z.B. möglich, mittels eines Laserstrahls nachträglich Bereiche des Bildes zu schwärzen. Ein Portraitfoto kann so wesentlich verändert werden, z.B. durch Hinzufügen von zusätzli- chen Haaren, eines Bartes oder einer Brille. Um derartige Fälschungen bei Identifikationsdokumenten zu verhindern, werden unterschiedliche Sicherungsmaßnahmen ergriffen. Beispiele umfassen das Hinzufügen von Hologrammen oder in Bildern oder Text versteckten Mikro-Buchstaben. Diese Maßnahmen sind jedoch verhältnismäßig aufwändig und können oft nur mit technischen Geräten zuverlässig identifiziert werden. However, such laser engraved images are not safe from the subsequent addition of additional information. So it is e.g. possible to subsequently blacken areas of the image by means of a laser beam. A portrait photo can be so significantly changed, e.g. by adding extra hair, a beard or glasses. In order to prevent such counterfeits in identification documents, different security measures are taken. Examples include adding holograms or micro-letters hidden in images or text. However, these measures are relatively complex and can often be reliably identified only with technical equipment.
Ausgehend davon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Identifikationsdokument bereitzustellen, das schwer zu fälschen ist und dessen Echt- heit insbesondere ohne großen Aufwand überprüfbar ist, sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Identifikationsdokuments bereitzustellen. Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to provide an identification document which is difficult to forge and whose authenticity can be checked in particular without great effort, and to provide a method for producing such an identification document.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Identifikationsdokument und das Herstel- lungsverfahren mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. This object is achieved by the identification document and the production method having the features of the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Gemäß der Erfindung weist ein gattungsgemäßes Identifikationsdokument eine zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung auf, welche den optischen Eindruck ei- ner Kopie der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung erzeugt. Die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung ist in einem zweiten Bereich des Identifikationsdokuments angeordnet. Der zweite Bereich ist derart konfiguriert, dass bei Laserbestrahlung desselben aus Materialumwandlungen resultierende lokale Aufhellun- gen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikationsdokuments erzeugt werden. According to the invention, a generic identification document has a second visual identification which gives the visual impression of a generated a copy of the first visual identification. The second visual identification is arranged in a second area of the identification document. The second region is configured in such a way that, upon laser irradiation of the same, local lucencies of the visual impression of the identification document resulting from material transformations are produced.
Mit anderen Worten umfasst das Identifikationsdokument zwei Bereiche, wobei durch Laserbestrahlung im einen Bereich lokale Verdunklungen und im anderen Bereich lokale Aufhellungen des optischen Eindrucks erzeugt werden können. Beide Bereiche weisen visuelle Kennzeichnungen, wie z.B. ein Portraitfoto des Inhabers des Identifikationsdokuments auf, wobei die visuelle Kennzeichnung im zweiten Bereich den optischen Eindruck einer Kopie der visuellen Kennzeichnung im ersten Bereich erzeugt. Darunter ist insbesondere zu verstehen, dass die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung den Ein- druck eines Positiv-Bildes der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung erzeugt, d.h. dunkle Bereiche in der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung entsprechen dunklen Bereichen in der zweiten visuellen Kennzeichnung und helle Bereiche entsprechen hellen Bereichen. Der Farbeindruck und die Größe der zweiten visuellen Kennzeichnung können, müssen jedoch nicht vollständig mit dem Farbeindruck und der Größe der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung übereinstimmen. Vielmehr kann die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung gegenüber der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung im Maßstab verkleinert oder auch vergrößert sein. Auch der Farbeindruck der zweiten Kennzeichnung kann von dem Farbeindruck der ersten Kennzeichnung abweichen und beispielsweise statt von Weiß (hell) nach Schwarz (dunkel) von Silber (hell) zu Blau (dunkel) reichen. In other words, the identification document comprises two areas, whereby local darkening can be generated by laser irradiation in one area and local brightening of the visual impression in the other area. Both areas have visual markings, e.g. a portrait photo of the owner of the identification document, wherein the visual identification in the second area creates the visual impression of a copy of the visual identification in the first area. This is to be understood in particular as meaning that the second visual identification produces the impression of a positive image of the first visual identification, i. Dark areas in the first visual tag correspond to dark areas in the second visual tag and bright areas correspond to bright areas. The color impression and the size of the second visual marking may or may not be completely consistent with the color impression and size of the first visual mark. Rather, the second visual identification can be reduced in size or enlarged compared to the first visual identification. Also, the color impression of the second marking may differ from the color impression of the first marking and, for example, instead of white (light) to black (dark) ranging from silver (light) to blue (dark).
Weiter können die erste und/ oder insbesondere die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung durch eine optisch variable Farbe gebildet sein, deren Farbein- druck für den Betrachter sich mit dem Betrachtungswinkel ändert (Farbkipp- effekt). In diesem Fall ist der Farbkippeffekt einem helleren oder dunkleren Farbeindruck der Teilbereiche der visuellen Kennzeichnung überlagert. Dadurch, dass die jeweiligen, die beiden visuellen Kennzeichnungen enthaltenden Bereiche jedoch, wie vorstehend beschrieben, entgegengesetzt auf Laserstrahlung reagieren, nämlich einmal durch einen dunkler werdenden und einmal durch einen heller werdenden optischen Eindruck, ist es für einen potentiellen Fälscher schwer bzw. fast unmöglich, die beiden visuellen Kenn- Zeichnungen so zu manipulieren, dass der überstimmende optische Eindruck erhalten bleibt. Wird etwa in der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung mittels eines Laserstrahls eine zusätzliche Linie erzeugt, so erscheint diese dunkel. Bei entsprechender Bearbeitung der zweiten visuellen Kennzeichnung mittels eines Laserstrahls lässt sich jedoch lediglich eine Aufhellung in einem bereits dunklen Hintergrund erzeugen. Eine zur Manipulation der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung analoge Erzeugung einer dunklen Linie ist hingegen nicht möglich. Furthermore, the first and / or in particular the second visual identification can be formed by an optically variable color whose color pressure for the viewer changes with the viewing angle (color shift effect). In this case, the color shift effect is superimposed on a lighter or darker color impression of the subregions of the visual identification. However, as a result of the fact that the respective areas containing the two visual markings react in opposite directions to laser radiation, as is described above by a diminishing and once brightening visual impression, it is difficult or almost impossible for a potential counterfeiter to To manipulate the two visual Kenn- drawings so that the harmonized visual impression is maintained. If, for example, an additional line is generated in the first visual marking by means of a laser beam, it appears dark. With appropriate processing of the second visual marking by means of a laser beam, however, only a brightening in an already dark background can be produced. A generation of a dark line analogous to the manipulation of the first visual identification, however, is not possible.
Da die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung den optischen Eindruck einer Kopie der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung erzeugt, kann eine Überprüfung derSince the second visual identification produces the visual impression of a copy of the first visual identification, a review of the
Echtheit des Identifikationsdokuments durch einfachen Vergleich der beiden Kennzeichnungen mit bloßem Auge erfolgen. Abweichungen zwischen den Kennzeichnungen sind für den Betrachter leicht erkennbar. Auf diese Weise kann eine eventuelle Manipulation des Identifikationsdokuments durch ei- nen Vergleich der beiden visuellen Kennzeichnungen ohne Verwendung von Hilfsmitteln auch von einem Laien leicht erkannt werden. Besondere technische Geräte sind für die Echtheitsprüfung nicht notwendig. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung stellt die erste visuelle Kennzeichnung ein zweidimensionales Bild dar. Insbesondere ist die erste visuelle Kennzeichnung ein Portraitfoto des Inhabers des Identifikationsdokuments. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die visuelle Kennzeichnung auch personenbezogene Daten des Inhabers in Form von Buchstaben und/ oder Zahlen aufweisen. Authenticity of the identification document by simply comparing the two markings done with the naked eye. Deviations between the markings are easily recognizable to the viewer. In this way, a possible manipulation of the identification document by a comparison of the two visual identifications without the use of tools can also be easily recognized by a layman. Special technical devices are not necessary for the authenticity check. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the first visual identification represents a two-dimensional image. In particular, the first visual identification is a portrait photograph of the owner of the identification document. Alternatively or additionally, the visual identification may also include personal data of the owner in the form of letters and / or numbers.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist der zweite Bereich derart konfiguriert, dass die bei Laserbestrahlung erzeugten Aufhellungen im zweiten Bereich aufgrund von lokalen Farbumwandlungen des Identifikationsdokuments von einer dunklen Farbe zu einer hellen Farbe bewirkt werden. Dies kann beispielsweise eine Farbumwandlung von Blau zu Silber sein. Dazu weist der zweite Bereich vorteilhafterweise eine optisch variable Tinte, d.h. eine Tinte mit speziellen Pigmenten, auf, deren Farbe sich bei Laserstrahlungs- einwϊrkung verändert. Die optisch variable Tinte liegt vorzugsweise auf einer inneren Schicht des Identifikationsdokuments im zweiten Bereich. Es können neben optisch variablen Tinten auch andere Farben oder Tinten verwendet werden, bei denen eine Laserbestrahlung zu einer Farbumwandlung führt. In a further refinement, the second region is configured in such a way that the brightening produced in the second region during laser irradiation is caused by a dark color to a light color due to local color conversions of the identification document. This can be, for example, a color conversion from blue to silver. For this purpose, the second region advantageously comprises an optically variable ink, i. an ink with special pigments, the color of which changes as laser irradiation increases. The optically variable ink is preferably located on an inner layer of the identification document in the second area. In addition to optically variable inks, it is also possible to use other colors or inks in which a laser irradiation leads to a color conversion.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der erste Bereich ein Material aufweist, bei dem Laserstrahlungseinwirkung eine Schwärzung hervorruft. Dies kann ein Kunststoffmaterial sein, wie beispielsweise Polycarbonat oder Polyvinylchlorid, in dem Absorberpartikel enthalten sind, welche bei Laserbestrahlung reagieren und damit eine Schwärzung verursachen, wie aus der Lasergravur bekannt. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the first region has a material in which laser radiation causes blackening. This may be a plastic material, such as polycarbonate or polyvinylchloride, which contains absorber particles which react upon laser irradiation to cause blackening, as known from laser engraving.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist die erste visuelle Kennzeichnung aufgrund von durch einen ersten Laserstrahl bewirkten, aus Materialum- wandlungen resultierenden lokalen Verdunklungen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikationsdokuments sichtbar und die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung ist aufgrund von durch einen zweiten Laserstrahl bewirkten, aus Materialumwandlungen resultierenden lokalen Aufhellungen des optischen Ein- drucks des Identifikationsdokuments sichtbar. According to a further embodiment, the first visual identification is based on material conversion caused by a first laser beam. The second visual marking is visible due to local brightening of the optical impression of the identification document resulting from material transformations, caused by a second laser beam, and resulting in local darkening of the visual impression of the identification document.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Identifikationsdokument ein auf einem Trägerelement des Identifikationsdokuments aufgebrachtes selbsttragendes Transferelement, wie etwa ein Patch oder ein Etikett, umfasst und das Trans- ferelement die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung enthält. Vorteilhaft ist es, die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung im Inneren des Patches vorzusehen, so daß sie vor äußeren Einflüssen geschützt wird. Ein derartiges Transfer element wird typischerweise erst nach seiner Herstellung auf dem Identifikationsdokument aufgebracht. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the identification document comprises a self-supporting transfer element applied to a carrier element of the identification document, such as a patch or a label, and the transfer element contains the second visual identification. It is advantageous to provide the second visual identification inside the patch, so that it is protected from external influences. Such a transfer element is typically applied only after its preparation on the identification document.
Es ist auch möglich, den Patch in das Identifikationsdokument einzulaminie- ren. Hierzu wird das Identifikationsdokument im Rohzustand mit dem Patch versehen und anschließend werden zum Schutz zusätzliche, ganz oder teilweise transparente Folien in einem Laminierungsprozeß mit dem Identifika- tionsdokument verbunden. Die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung kann auf der Oberfläche des Patches oder auf einer inneren Schicht angeordnet sein. It is also possible to register the patch in the identification document. For this purpose, the identification document is provided in the raw state with the patch and then for protection additional, completely or partially transparent films are connected in a lamination process with the identification document. The second visual tag may be disposed on the surface of the patch or on an inner layer.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist das Identifikationsdokument die Form einer Karte auf. Beispiele für derartige kartenf örmige Identifikations- dokumente umfassen Ausweiskarten, Kreditkarten, Bankkarten, Versicherungskarten, Mitgliedschaftskarten, Zugangskarten und elektronische Geldbörsen. Alternativ kann das Identifikationsdokument jedoch auch nicht kar- tenförmig, z.B. als Datenseite eines Reisepasses, ausgebildet sein. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird das Identifikationsdokument aus mehreren Schichten aufgebaut. Das Verbinden der einzelnen Schichten erfolgt durch ein Laminierverf ahren oder ein anderes geeignetes Verfahren. According to a further embodiment, the identification document in the form of a map. Examples of such card-type identification documents include identity cards, credit cards, bank cards, insurance cards, membership cards, access cards and electronic purses. Alternatively, however, the identification document can also not be in the form of a card, eg as a data page of a passport. According to one embodiment of the invention, the identification document is composed of several layers. The bonding of the individual layers takes place by means of a laminating method or another suitable method.
Weiterhin wird erfindungsgemäß ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Identifikationsdokuments bereitgestellt, bei dem das Identifikationsdokument mittels eines ersten Laserstrahls derart bestrahlt wird, dass lokale Verdunklungen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikationsdokuments hervorrufende Materialumwandlungen bewirkt werden, wobei die lokalen Verdunklungen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikationsdokuments eine personalisierte erste visuelle Kennzeichnung auf dem Identifikationsdokument sichtbar machen. Weiterhin wird das Identifikationsdokument mittels eines zweiten Laserstrahls derart bestrahlt, dass lokale Aufhellungen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikationsdokuments hervorrufende Materialurnwandlungen bewirkt werden, wobei die lokalen Aufhellungen des optischen Eindrucks des Identifikationsdokuments eine zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung auf dem Identifikationsdokument sichtbar machen, welche den optischen Eindruck einer Kopie der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung erzeugt. Mittels dieses Verfahrens lässt sich das vorstehend beschriebene, erfindungsgemäße Identifikationsdokument herstellen. Furthermore, according to the invention, a method is provided for producing an identification document in which the identification document is irradiated by means of a first laser beam in such a way as to cause local darkening of the visual impression of the identification document causing material conversions, the local obscurations of the visual impression of the identification document providing a personalized first visual identification make visible on the identification document. Furthermore, the identification document is irradiated by means of a second laser beam such that local brightening of the visual impression of the identification document causing Materialurnwandlungen be effected, the local brightening of the visual impression of the identification document make a second visual mark on the identification document visible, the visual impression of a copy of generated first visual marking. By means of this method, the above-described inventive identification document can be produced.
Der zweite Laserstrahl kann die gleichen Eigenschaften, insbesondere die gleiche Wellenlänge, wie der erste Laserstrahl aufweisen und damit der glei- che Laserstrahl sein. Alternativ kann sich der zweite Laserstrahl auch, insbesondere hinsichtlich seiner Wellenlänge, vom ersten Laserstrahl unterscheiden. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird bei der Bestrahlung des Identifikationselements mittels des ersten Laserstrahls kumulativ über die Bestrahlungsdauer oder die BeStrahlungsintensität in einem ersten Bereich des Identifikationselements ein erstes zweidimensionales Strahlungsmuster erzeugt und bei der Bestrahlung des Identifikationselements mittels des zweiten Laserstrahls in einem zweiten Bereich des Identifikationselements ebenfalls kumulativ über die Bestrahlungsdauer/ Bestrah- lungsintensität ein gegenüber dem ersten Strahlungsmuster invertiertes zweites zweidimensionales Strahlungsmuster erzeugt. Das heißt, Punkte bzw. Flächenabschnitte im zweiten Bereich, welche mit hoher Laserintensität bestrahlten Punkten bzw. Flächenabschnitten im ersten Bereich entsprechen, werden mit geringer Laserintensität oder gar nicht bestrahlt. Entsprechend werden Punkte bzw. Flächenabschnitte im zweiten Bereich, welche nicht oder lediglich mit geringer Laserintensität bestrahlten Punkte oder Flächen- abschnitten im ersten Bereich entsprechen, mit hoher Laserintensität bestrahlt. The second laser beam may have the same properties, in particular the same wavelength, as the first laser beam and thus be the same laser beam. Alternatively, the second laser beam may also differ, in particular with regard to its wavelength, from the first laser beam. According to one embodiment of the inventive method, a first two-dimensional radiation pattern is generated during the irradiation of the identification element by means of the first laser beam cumulatively over the irradiation period or the irradiation intensity in a first region of the identification element and during irradiation of the identification element by means of the second laser beam in a second region of the identification element also cumulatively over the irradiation duration / irradiation intensity generates a relation to the first radiation pattern inverted second two-dimensional radiation pattern. That is to say, points or area sections in the second area which correspond to points or area sections irradiated with high laser intensity in the first area are irradiated with low laser intensity or not at all. Correspondingly, points or area sections in the second area which correspond to points or area sections in the first area which are not or only irradiated with low laser intensity are irradiated with high laser intensity.
Das zweite Strahlungsmuster kann gegenüber dem ersten Strahlungsmuster verkleinert oder vergrößert sein. Die sich durch die Bestrahlung ergebenden visuellen Kennzeichnungen sind entsprechend zueinander vergrößert bzw. verkleinert. The second radiation pattern may be reduced or enlarged relative to the first radiation pattern. The visual identifications resulting from the irradiation are enlarged or reduced corresponding to one another.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform werden bei der Bestrahlung des Identifikationsdokuments mittels des ersten Laserstrahls lokale Schwärzungen in einem ersten Bereich des Identifikationsdokuments bewirkt. Vorteilhafterweise werden bei der Bestrahlung des Identifikationsdokuments mittels des zweiten Laserstrahls lokale Farbumwandlungen in einem zweiten Bereich des I- dentifikationsdokuments von einer dunklen Farbe zu einer hellen Farbe, insbesondere von Blau zu Silber, bewirkt. Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn bei der Bestrahlung des Identifikationsdokuments mittels des zweiten Laserstrahls ein Transferelement, wie etwa ein Patch oder ein Etikett, zur Bewirkung der die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung sichtbar machenden Materialumwandlungen bestrahlt wird und das Transferelement nach der Bestrahlung auf einem Trägerelement des Identifikationsdokuments aufgebracht wird. According to one embodiment, upon irradiation of the identification document by means of the first laser beam, local blackening is effected in a first region of the identification document. When the identification document is irradiated by means of the second laser beam, local color conversions in a second region of the identification document from a dark color to a light color, in particular from blue to silver, are advantageously effected. Furthermore, it is advantageous if, during the irradiation of the identification document by means of the second laser beam, a transfer element, such as a patch or a label, is irradiated for effecting the material transformations visualizing the second visual marking and the transfer element is applied after irradiation to a carrier element of the identification document becomes.
Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele sowie Vorteile der Erfindung werden nach- folgend anhand der beigefügten schematischen Zeichnungen erläutert, bei deren Darstellung auf eine maßstabs- und proportionsgetreue Wiedergabe verzichtet wurde, um die Anschaulichkeit zu erhöhen. Further exemplary embodiments and advantages of the invention are explained below with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in the representation of which a representation true to scale and proportion has been dispensed with in order to increase the clarity.
Es zeigen: Show it:
Fig. 1 eine Aufsicht auf ein Identifikationsdokument nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung in schematischer Darstellung, sowie Fig. 2 eine Schnittdarstellung des Identifikationsdokuments von Fig. 1 entlang der Linie U-II. 1 is a plan view of an identification document according to an embodiment of the invention in a schematic representation, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the identification document of FIG. 1 along the line U-II.
Die Erfindung wird nun am Beispiel eines in den Figuren 1 und 2 schematisch dargestellten Identifikationsdokumentes beschrieben. Fig. 1 zeigt das Identifikationsdokument in Gestalt einer Ausweiskarte 10, z.B. in Gestalt einer Personalausweiskarte oder einer Führerscheinkarte in Aufsicht. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf derartige Ausweiskarten beschränkt, vielmehr kann das Identifikationsdokument auch in beliebigen Formaten, wie etwa als personalisierte Datenseite eines Reisepasses, ausgebildet sein. Die Ausweiskarte 10 enthält in einem ersten Bereich 12 eine personalisierte erste visuelle Kennzeichnung 14 in Gestalt eines Portraitfotos des Karteninhabers. Neben dem Portraitfoto sind weitere personenbezogene Daten 20, im Ausführungsbeispiel Vorname, Nachname sowie Geburtsdatum des Inhabers angeordnet. Darüber hinaus kann die Ausweiskarte weitere Daten, wie etwa Nationalität, Ausstellungsbehörde, Ausstellungsdatum und dergleichen, enthalten. Die Ausweiskarte 10 umfasst darüber hinaus einen zweiten Bereich 22 mit einer zweiten visuellen Kennzeichnung 26. Der zweite Bereich 22 wird von einem Transferelement 24 in Gestalt eines Patches oder Etiketts, insbesondere in Gestalt eines sogenannten„STEP® Sign-Druckes" gebildet, das ein Patch darstellt, das mit einer besonderen optisch variable Tinte (auch OVI® für Optically Variable Ink) bedruckt ist, wie weiter unten beschrieben. Das Transferelement 24 ist, wie aus der Querschnittsdarstellung in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, auf einer inneren Schicht eines Hauptkörpers 18 der Ausweiskarte 10 aufgebracht. Die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung 26 zeigt das Portraitfoto des Karteninhabers aus dem ersten Bereich 12 in verkleinerter Darstellung. Ge- nauer gesagt, erzeugt die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung 26 den optischen Eindruck einer verkleinerten Kopie des die erste visuelle Kennzeichnung 14 bildenden Portraitfotos. Alternativ kann die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung 26 auch das Portraitfoto im gleichen Maßstab wie die erste visuelle Kennzeichnung 14 oder auch in vergrößertem Maßstab wiedergeben. The invention will now be described using the example of an identification document shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 shows the identification document in the form of an identity card 10, for example in the form of an identity card or driver's license card in supervision. However, the invention is not limited to such identification cards, but rather the identification document can also be embodied in any formats, such as a personalized data page of a passport. The ID card 10 contains in a first area 12 a personalized first visual identification 14 in the form of a portrait photo of the cardholder. In addition to the portrait photo, further personal data 20, in the exemplary embodiment first name, last name and date of birth of the owner are arranged. In addition, the ID card may include other data such as nationality, issuing authority, issue date, and the like. The badge 10 further comprises a second area 22 with a second visual marking 26. The second area 22 is formed by a transfer element 24 in the form of a patch or label, in particular in the form of a so-called "STEP® sign print", which is a patch represents, which is printed with a special optically variable ink (also OVI ® for optically variable ink), as described below. the transfer member 24 is, as apparent from the sectional view in Fig. 2, on an inner layer of a main body 18 of the ID card 10. The second visual identification 26 shows the portrait photo of the cardholder in a reduced representation from the first area 12. To be more precise, the second visual identification 26 produces the visual impression of a reduced copy of the portrait photo forming the first visual identification 14. Alternatively, FIG the second visual identification 26 also the portrait photo on the same scale as the first visual marking 14 or on an enlarged scale.
Im ersten Bereich 12 enthält die Ausweiskarte 10 im Bereich der Oberfläche des Hauptkörpers 18 eine lasersensitive Aufzeichnungsschicht 16. Bei der Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 kann es sich um einen Teilbereich des Hauptkörpers 18, und insbesondere wie in Fig. 2 beispielhaft dargestellt, um einen sich lediglich im ersten Bereich 12 erstreckenden oberflächennahen Teilbereich handeln. Es kann sich bei der Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 aber auch um eine separate Schicht des Hauptkörpers 18 handeln. Weiterhin kann auch der gesamte Hauptkörper 18 die lasersensitive Auszeichnungsschicht 16 bilden. Der Hauptkörper 16 der Ausweiskarte 10 kann aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, wie beispielsweise Polycarbonat (PC) oder Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), gefertigt sein. Der Hauptkörper kann ferner einen Schichtaufbau aufweisen. In der lasersensitiven Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 sind typischerweise Absorberpartikel in dem Kunststoff material enthalten. Die Absorberpartikel werden bei Bestrahlung mit einem Laserstrahl geschwärzt. In the first area 12, the identification card 10 in the area of the surface of the main body 18 contains a laser-sensitive recording layer 16. The recording layer 16 may be a partial area of the main body 18, and in particular as shown in FIG act only in the first region 12 extending near-surface portion. However, the recording layer 16 may also be a separate layer of the main body 18. Furthermore, the entire main body 18 may also form the laser-sensitive mark layer 16. The main body 16 of the badge 10 may be made of a plastic material such as polycarbonate (PC) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The main body may further have a layer structure. Absorber particles are typically contained in the plastic material in the laser-sensitive recording layer 16. The absorber particles are blackened when irradiated with a laser beam.
Damit ist es möglich, durch geeignete Laserbestrahlung in der Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 das Portraitfoto des Karteninhabers als Schwarzweißbild zu erzeugen. Dazu eignet sich insbesondere ein gepulster Infrarotlaser. Das Ver- fahren zur Erzeugung des Portraitfotos ist auch als Lasergravur bekannt. Allgemein ausgedrückt, wird das Portraitfoto im ersten Bereich 12 durch derartige Bestrahlung der Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 erzeugt, dass lokale Verdunklungen des optischen Eindrucks der Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 hervorrufende Materialumwandlungen bewirkt werden. It is thus possible to generate the portrait photo of the cardholder as a black-and-white image by suitable laser irradiation in the recording layer 16. In particular, a pulsed infrared laser is suitable for this purpose. The method for producing the portrait photo is also known as laser engraving. Generally speaking, the portrait photograph is formed in the first area 12 by irradiating the recording layer 16 so as to cause local darkening of the optical impression of the recording layer 16 causing material conversions.
Das Transferelement 24 enthält eine optisch variable Tinte, die nicht nur einen üblichen Farbkippeff ekt zeigt, sondern die auch lasergravierbar ist, wobei sich die anfängliche blaue Eigenfarbe bei Einwirkung von Laserstrahlung zu einem mehr oder weniger silbernen Farbeindruck verändert. Mit steigen- der Intensität der Laserstrahlung verschwindet ein zunehmender Anteil der ursprünglichen blauen (dunkleren) Farbe und der Anteil der silbernen (helleren) Farbe nimmt zu. Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf Tinten mit einem Übergang von Blau zu Silber beschränkt. Im allgemeinen Fall wandelt sich eine mit geeigneten Pigmenten versehene Tinte bei Laserbestrahlung von einer dunklen Farbe zu einer hellen Farbe um. Damit lassen sich durch Laserbestrahlung des Transferelements 24 aus Materialumwandlungen resultierende lokale Aufhellungen des optischen Eindrucks erzeugen. Das die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung 26 bildende Portraitfoto wird durch entsprechende Laserbestrahlung erzeugt. Die Wellenlänge des dafür versendeten Laserlichts kann identisch mit der zur Erzeugung der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung 14 verwendeten Laserwellenlänge sein, und z.B. im Infrarotbereich liegen. Andere Wellenlängen können allerdings auch verwendet werden. The transfer element 24 contains an optically variable ink, which not only shows a usual Farbkippeff ect, but which is also laser engravable, wherein the initial blue inherent color changes upon exposure to laser radiation to a more or less silvery color impression. As the intensity of the laser radiation increases, an increasing proportion of the original blue (darker) color disappears and the proportion of the silver (lighter) color increases. Of course, the invention is not limited to inks having a blue to silver transition. In the general case, an ink provided with suitable pigments will change from a dark color to a light color upon laser irradiation. This can be generated by laser irradiation of the transfer element 24 from material conversions resulting local brightening of the visual impression. The portrait photo forming the second visual identification 26 is generated by appropriate laser irradiation. The wavelength of the laser light sent for this purpose can be identical to the laser wavelength used to generate the first visual identification 14, and can be in the infrared range, for example. Other wavelengths, however, can also be used.
Wie bereits vorstehend erwähnt, soll die zweite visuelle Kennzeichnung 26 den optischen Eindruck einer Kopie der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung 14 aufweisen. Aufgrund der inversen Reaktion der optisch variablen Tinte im durch das Transferelement 24 gebildeten zweiten Bereich 22 auf Laserstrahlung im Vergleich zu der Reaktion der Aufzeichnungsschicht 16 im ersten Bereich 12 ist die Strahlungsverteilung der Laserstrahlung beim Beschreiben des zweiten Bereichs 22 invers zur Strahlungsverteilung beim Beschreiben des ersten Bereichs 12 konfiguriert. Während bei der ersten visuellen Kennzeichnung 14 dunkle Bildstellen mit hoher Laserenergie und helle Bildstellen mit niedriger Laserenergie erzeugt werden, werden bei der zweiten visuellen Kennzeichnung 26 helle, im Ausführungsbeispiel silberne, Bildstellen mit hoher Laserenergie und dunkle, im Ausführungsbeispiel blaue, Bildstellen mit niedriger Laserenergie erzeugt. As already mentioned above, the second visual identification 26 should have the visual impression of a copy of the first visual identification 14. Due to the inverse response of the optically variable ink in the second region 22 formed by the transfer element 24 to laser radiation compared to the response of the recording layer 16 in the first region 12, the radiation distribution of the laser radiation in describing the second region 22 is inverse to the radiation distribution in describing the first region 12 configured. Whereas in the first visual identification 14 dark image areas with high laser energy and bright image areas with low laser energy are generated, in the second visual identification 26 bright, in the exemplary embodiment silver, image areas with high laser energy and dark, in the exemplary embodiment blue, image locations with low laser energy are generated ,
Mit anderen Worten wird in den zweiten Bereich 22 ein Negativ-Bild mit Positiv-Eindruck geschrieben. Die Portraitfotos in den beiden Bereichen 12 und 22 sind daher vom Eindruck her jeweils Positiv-Bilder und daher zur Verifi- zierung der Echtheit der Ausweiskarte 10 leicht vergleichbar. Versucht ein Fälscher nachträglich die Portraitf otos durch Laserbestrahlung zu manipulieren, so macht er die Erfahrung, dass der Laserstrahl im Portraitfoto des ersten Bereichs 12 dunkle Linien erzeugt, im Portraitfoto des zweiten Bereichs 22 hingegen helle Linien. In other words, a positive impression negative image is written in the second region 22. The portrait photos in the two areas 12 and 22 are therefore in each case positive images and therefore for verification purposes. The authenticity of the ID card 10 is comparable. If a counterfeiter attempts to manipulate the portrait photos by laser irradiation, he experiences that the laser beam produces 12 dark lines in the portrait photo of the first area, while in the portrait photo of the second area 22, on the other hand, there are light lines.
Eine konsistente nachträgliche Manipulation beider Portraitfotos, beispielsweise die Hinzufügung eines Bartes oder die Veränderung der Haarfarbe, wird damit außerordentlich erschwert bzw. sogar unmöglich gemacht. Eine derartige nachträgliche Manipulation ist in jedem Fall leicht ohne Verwendung optischer Hilfsmittel erkennbar. A consistent subsequent manipulation of both portrait photos, for example the addition of a beard or the change of the hair color, is made extremely difficult or even impossible. Such subsequent manipulation is easily recognizable in any case without the use of optical aids.
Weiterhin ist es denkbar, auch die personenbezogenen Daten 20 jeweils in die beiden Bereiche 12 und 22 aufzunehmen. Dies erschwert auch eine Ma- nipulation dieser Daten, da hinzugefügte Schwärzungen im ersten Bereich 12 etwa in Form eines Linienelements zur Verwandlung der Zahl„3" in die Zahl„8" im zweiten Bereich 22 nicht oder nur schwer reproduzierbar wären. Furthermore, it is conceivable to also include the personal data 20 in each of the two areas 12 and 22. This also complicates manipulation of these data, since added blackening in the first region 12, for example in the form of a line element for converting the number "3" into the number "8" in the second region 22, would not be reproducible or would be difficult to reproduce.
Es versteht sich, dass die Ausweiskarte 10 zusätzliche Schichten, beispiels- weise eine oder mehrere Schutzschichten oder mit anderen Sicherheitselementen versehene Funktionsschichten, aufweisen kann. Diese weiteren Schichten sind weder in den Figuren gezeigt noch näher beschrieben. It is understood that the badge 10 may have additional layers, for example one or more protective layers or functional layers provided with other security elements. These further layers are neither shown nor described in detail in the figures.
