A method for producing a security element

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a security element (1), wherein a substrate (2) is provided, which, at least for certain radiation (10) is translucent and a watermark (3), which the opacity of the substrate (2) can be modulated, wherein on one side (6) of the substrate (2) an embossed layer (7) is applied, the covers the watermark (3), a hologram structure (9) in the embossing layer (7) is stamped and on the hologram structure (9) a reflector layer (8) is applied, and the substrate (2) of the opposite side (6) with the specific radiation (10) is radiated, wherein an intensity of the radiation (10) is adjusted so that the watermark (3) by means of the opacity modulation caused by it acts as a mask and the reflector layer (8) by means of the radiation (10) in the register for watermarks (5, 11) is removed structured.
