- - METHOD OF PRODUCING A BACK-LIT COLOUR LASER IMAGE IDENTITY DOCUMENT IMPLEMENTING THIS METHOD AND BACK-LIGHTING SYSTEM

摘要

A method for producing a back-lit color laser image, and an identification document and a back-lighting system for implementing such a method. The main portion 11 of the identification document is transparent. The light is transmitted through the color laser image 3 formed by the sub-pixels R, G, B partially covered with non-reflecting surfaces 7 in the protective layer 2, Back-lights. The light 24 passes through a minuscule hole 23 in the decoration of the rear face 5 of the document. It has been found to be particularly applicable to identification cards, credit cards, passports, driver's licenses, and security entry badges.
