Method for the production of a multi-layer identity card of plastic

The invention relates to a process for the production of a multi-layer image, preferably a multi-color image. A transfer film which is applied to a paper ubstrate and which is treated with laser irradiation is used. The transfer film has a laser-sensitive layer and a background layer arranged therebeneath. The laser-sensitive layer comprises laser-sensitive material, for example laser-sensitive pigments or other laser-sensitive coloring agents. The laser-sensitive material in the layer is region-wise bleached by laser irradiation. That results in a so-called laser-induced image component. As it is transparent or partly transparent, the background layer which is arranged therebeneath and which can have a printed image then becomes visible from above in that region. That therefore gives a multi-layer image which is formed by the laser-induced image component and by the background layer jointly.

Multilayer image, particularly a multicolor image

Described is a multi-layer body having two laser-sensitive layers. The multi-layer body is a body laminated from the overlay films, the inletsand the further overlay films. At its underside the upper overlay filmhas a layer structure applied there, by the application of a hot stamping film. The layer structure comprises a lacquer layer, a reflection layer, a laser-sensitive layer, a background layerand an adhesive layer. A diffraction and/or hologram structureis provided in the lacquer layer, the reflection layerand the laser-sensitive layer. The second laser-sensitive layer is formed by the carbon-doped overlay film By means of laser treatment, it is possible to produce a laser-induced, preferably colored image component in the upper laser-sensitive layerand a further laser-sensitive image component, preferably in the form of a gray scale image, in the subjacent carbon-doped laser-sensitive layer. A laser-induced multi-layer image is formed in that way.

The present invention relates to a process for increasing the level of safeguard in respect of forgery of paper documents. For that purpose, applied to the paper document is a transfer film or laminating film having a laser-sensitive layer. This multi-layer body is then treated with laser radiation. In that case, a laser-induced marking is produced in the laser-sensitive layer, for example, by laser-induced bleaching, laser-induced color change or laser-induced blackening. Respective individualization of the document can be effected by way of that laser-induced marking.

Multilayer body with a laser-sensitive layer

The present invention relates to a multi-layer body which is a paper document with a hot stamping film embossed thereon. The hot stamping film has a laser-sensitive layer in which a laser-induced color image is produced by laser treatment. Arranged on the document are further security identifications such as a security print, which is in the form of guilloche patterns, fluorescent threads, and a security strip. Water marks are also provided in the paper document.

An improvement applicable to a method for the production of a multi-layer identity card of plastic wherein the card comprises one or more card core layers bonded under the action of pressure and heat and printed on either side or on opposite sides with a covering layer applied to the printed side or sides of the card core. In accordance with the improvement a thermoplastic polymer adhesive is applied between and in direct contact with each covering layer and the respective printed side of the card core, the thermoplastic adhesive coating possessing at least one additive that increases the friction between the covering layer and the printed card core during lamination so as to prevent displacement of the printed card core in relation to the covering layer or layers.

The invention relates to a card-shaped data carrier consisting of at least one layer (). Visually readable information in the form of a changed optical characteristic is introduced into the layer. Said characteristic is changed by irreversibly changing the material by means of a laser beam. The absorption capacity of said layer () for at least one wavelength (&#x3bb;&#xb1;&#x3bb;) is at least partially reduced due to the laser radiation.

A description is given of a method for applying colored information to an object (), the object having at least two different chromophoric particles, at least in a layer (A) close to the surface, which change the color of this layer (A) under the influence of laser radiation, According to the invention, at least one beam guiding means () is provided in order to guide a first laser beam () having the wavelength (&#x3bb;) and at least one further laser beam () having a wavelength (&#x3bb;), which is different from the wavelength of the first laser beam, via the two-coordinate beam deflection device () and the focusing device () onto the layer (A) of the object ().

Method for applying colored information on an object

The invention relates to a method for the recording of data, in particular, personal data on and/or in a data support, by means of electromagnetic radiation. A corresponding data support is made ready, on and/or in which a dye is at least locally provided and said dye is irradiated by means of said electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength range, such that a change in the color of the dye by bleaching occurs in the region of the irradiation. Said color change may be determined by machine and/or by the human eye. An improved counterfeiting and manipulation security for the data support is thus achieved.
