Abstract
A data carrier () comprises at least a first guiding element (), at least a first processing element (), and at least a first security element (). The first processing element () is arranged after the first guiding element () with respect to an extension direction (E). The first guiding element () is configured to guide impinging electromagnetic radiation towards the first processing element (). The first processing element (), in an unprocessed state, is semi-opaque or opaque. In a processed state after being impinged by electromagnetic radiation that is irradiated through the first guiding element () onto the first processing element (), the first processing element () in the region of impingement comprises at least a first processed region () in the form of a transparent region or translucent region or a hole. The first guiding element () and the first processed region () at least partially overlap when viewed along the extension direction (E), whereby the first security element () is generated.
