Optically variable security element with reflective surface area

摘要

Optically variable security element (12), the surface area of which defines a perpendicular z-axis, with a multicolored, reflective surface area (20), wherein the reflective surface area (20) contains a first, higher-lying relief structure (34) and a second, lower-lying relief structure (24), which are arranged in the z direction at different height levels, the first relief structure (34) is provided with a first color coating (36) and the second relief structure (24) is provided with a second, different color coating (26), - the two relief structures (24, 34) overlap in an overlap area, - The first color coating (36) of the higher-lying first relief structure (34) in the overlap region has at least one recess (42), the dimension of which is more than 140 μm, the first color coating (36) adjacent to the recess comprising an edge region, and - As a two-tone registration feature, the first relief structure (34) fits the edge region of the first color coating (36) with a first color impression and the second relief structure (24) fits the second color coating (36) through the recess (42) with a second, different color impression let appear.
