A security element, preferably a security wire, for a secure document, that may include a masking structure for reducing the visibility of a surface of the element when the latter is located inside the document or on the surface of the document, the masking structure comprising a nanometric filler and a multilayer interference pigment.

Security element comprising an interference pigment and a nanometric filler

A security element, preferably a security wire, for a secure document, may include a masking structure for reducing the visibility of a surface of the element when the latter is located inside the document or on the surface thereof, the masking structure comprising a mixture of at least two nanometric fillers.

Security element comprising a masking structure containing a mixture of nanometric fillers

An anti-counterfeiting security thread for incorporation into documents and banknotes. The security thread has at least two zones located respectively on either side of a separation line extending longitudinally along the thread. Two optically variable security elements having different appearances are disposed in the first zone and second zones of the security thread. The optically variable elements are arranged with respect to the separation line so that each of the two optically variable elements has a first perceived appearance from a first direction of observation and a second perceived appearance from a second direction of observation, wherein the first and the second perceived appearances are different.

Security thread

A security paper comprising a fibrous substrate comprising a watermark having repeating motifs, and a security structure that does not completely cover the watermark and has at least one semi-reflective area which is superposed at least partly on the watermark; which paper on the one hand allows observation, through the semi-reflective area, at least partially, of one of the motifs, and on the other hand allows observation at least partially of another of said motifs in a region of the watermark that is not covered by the security structure.

Security paper

An optical structure comprising first and second opposite outside faces, at least a first interface comprising a first screen of microreliefs and arranged in such a manner that travel through the first interface from the first outside face towards the second outside face, passes from a first medium having a first refractive index to a second medium having a second refractive index that is greater than the first, and at least one second interface comprising a second screen of microreliefs and arranged in such a manner that travel through the second interface from the first outside face towards the second outside face, passes from a third medium having a third refractive index to a fourth medium having a fourth refractive index less than the third.

Optical structure, in particular for a security document and/or a document of value

A security structure including: a first region that is at least partially reflective and of low opacity; a second region that is at least partially reflective and of higher opacity than the first region; and a layer of a coating presenting birefringence properties, covering the first and second regions, at least in part.

Security structure including nematic liquid crystals

A process for manufacturing a sheet material comprising at least two fibrous plies juxtaposed one on top of the other, including the following steps: a first paper ply is produced by filtration of an aqueous suspension of fibers on the wire cloth of a cylinder mold or of a former; a second paper ply is produced on the wire cloth of a second cylinder mold so as to form at least one recess in the second ply; at least one at least partially transparent element is placed between the two plies that are still wet; and the two plies are joined together so that said at least one recess of the second ply, the at least one at least partially transparent element and the at least one elongate region of zero thickness of the first ply are situated facing one another; then drying the obtained structure.

Process for manufacturing a sheet material

The present invention concerns a security structure intended to be at least partially incorporated into or affixed to an article, particularly a security document and/or a valuable document, the structure comprising a substrate, at least one electronic device carried by the substrate, at least one non-electronic security and/or decorative element visible to the naked eye, carried by the substrate, covering only a portion of one side of the substrate and having no effect on the operation of the electronic device, and/or at least one amplifying antenna coupled with the electronic device and carried by the substrate, electronic device being at least partially visible so as to form with the security and/or decorative element a design chosen from among a geometric shape, particularly an ellipse, circle or polygon, a written symbol, particularly an alphanumeric character, and an image of a recognizable object, particularly a logo, a plant, an animal or a person.
