Abstract
The present invention relates to a security element in the form of a strip. The strip exhibits optical effects which vary, depending on the illumination or viewing direction. The optical effects are provided only in one or more definably delimited, mutually spaced surface regions. The strip outside the visually variable surface regions is transparent or is adapted to the appearance of the surface of the substrate.
