Appl. No.:

10/325434

Inventors:

Brian Labrec - North Oxford MA
Joseph Anderson - Salem NH
Robert Jones - Andover MA
Danielle Batey - Amherst NH

Assignee:

Digimarc ID Systems - Tualatin OR

International Classification:

G06K 1900

US Classification:

235487, 235492, 235488, 359 15, 359 20, 359 31, 359 35

Abstract:

A method for making a secure identification document with multiple images is provided. Information is provided to an information bearing layer, the information constructed and arranged to be capable of providing multiple images when the printed information is viewed at different predetermined angles through an appropriate lens. At least a portion of the information is covered with a layer of a substantially a transparent film material. A lens profile is embossed onto a first portion of the substantially transparent film material, wherein the first portion of the substantially transparent film material comprises an area that is less than the entire layer of substantially transparent film material and wherein the first location substantially coincides with the location of the information. The lens profile forms a lens on a portion of the substantially transparent film material, the lens enabling the information viewed through the lens to display multiple images when the information is viewed at different predetermined angles.

US Classification:

235487, 235492, 283 67, 283 70, 713176, 726 5

Abstract:

An identification document manufacturing method makes an identification document with an optically variable security feature by forming a lens structure in the document's lamination layer along with image information. The method provides image information arranged to include at least two different images. The method uses pressure to form a lens profile in a laminate, including combining the laminate with ink representing the image information to form the document. The document is formed together with the laminate and ink such that the lens profile enables display of the at least two different images when the document is viewed at different predetermined angles. An information bearing document comprises a core layer, an image layer depicting at least two different images, and a laminate layer. The laminate layer is pressed on the core layer such that it forms a lens profile that enables display of the at least two different images when the document is viewed at different predetermined angles.
