Abstract

Disclosed herein is a transmissive or reflective optical security device, containing a hidden image, that is based on patterned retardation in a single layer of a nematic liquid crystal polymer on a substrate and methods of fabricating said hidden image by selectively modifying the retardation value. Fabrication methods that are compatible with high throughput standard roll-to-roll or printing lines are disclosed. Said image becomes visible under polarized illumination. The hidden image feature enhances the counterfeiting resistance of the security device.
