Definitions
- MULTIPLE IMAGE DIFFRACTIVE DEVICE This invention relates to a multiple image diffractive device. It relates particularly to a diffractive device which, when illuminated by a light source, generates two or more different diffraction images which are observable from different ranges of viewing angles around the device. Although the device may be used in a number of different applications, it has particular applicability as an anti-forgery security device on banknotes, credit cards, cheques, share certificates and other similar documents.
- diffractive devices which, when illuminated, generate diffractive images are known.
- January 1988 an Australian ten dollar banknote was released featuring a diffractive image of Captain Cook.
- the diffractive grating used in the image was for the most part comprised of substantially continuous lines, and the shapes and configurations of the lines were determined according to optical catastrophe theory in order to generate fine detail in the diffractive image observed.
- the diffractive device is divided into a large number of small diffraction grating structures, each of which upon illumination generates in an image plane a picture element or pixel, with the pixels combining to form an overall image in the image plane.
- the respective diffraction grating associated with each pixel comprises a plurality of reflective or transmissive grooves or lines which are usually curved. Groove or line curvature determines both local image intensity (eg. shading) and local optical structure stability.
- Groove or line spacing in each diffraction grating determines local pixel colour properties, with non-primary colours generated by a pixel mixing. Average groove or line orientation determines movement or colour effects.
- the overall surface structure of each diffraction grating is selected from a palette of different grating types having a limited number of distinct values of average curvature and average spacing.
- a diffraction grating illuminated by a single point source of light is normally such that a diffraction image will be observable from particular viewing angles around the diffractive device, whereas the image will not be observable from other viewing angles.
- the particular ranges of viewing angles at which a diffraction image generated by a diffraction grating is visible depend upon such parameters as the orientation, spacing and shape of the diffraction grating.
- Two diffraction gratings having different orientations and other parameters can be placed next to each other on the diffractive device with the result that a diffraction image generated by one of the gratings is visible at various viewing angles around the device, whereas a diffraction image generated by the other grating is visible at other viewing angles.
- a diffractive device which takes advantage of this fact is disclosed in international application PCT/AU93/00102 entitled "Security diffraction grating with special optical effects". That application discloses, inter-alia, a method of using a regular array of small diffraction gratings to form two or more different images which are viewable from different ranges of angles around the diffractive device.
- One set of diffraction gratings having similar orientations combines to produce one image which is viewable from a particular range of directions.
- a second set of diffraction gratings, each of which has a second orientation combines to produce a second image which is viewable from a second range of viewing angles.
- Australian provisional application PL 9008 filed 25 May 1993 entitled “Multiple Image Diffractive Device” discloses a similar arrangement, although with each diffraction grating generating a sub-pixel rather than a complete pixel in the image plane with two or more diffraction gratings combining to generate each complete pixel.
- a diffractive device having a surface relief structure which, when illuminated by a light source, generates at least two diffraction images which are observable from particular ranges of viewing angles around the device, wherein at least one surface region of the diffractive device has two or more superimposed diffractive surface structures, each of which gives rise to a separate diffraction image or component of a diffraction image. It is preferred that the diffractive device have the following features:
- the diffractive device of the present invention may comprise a regular array of small surface regions in a manner similar to that described in international application PCT/AU90/00395, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- the device may have surface regions in the form of tracks.
- Another embodiment may use continuous lines shaped and oriented according to optical catastrophe theory as provided in the 1988 Australian ten dollar banknote. Straight line diffraction gratings which generate different diffractive effects by changes in spatial frequency and orientation may also be utilized.
- all of the regions may include superimposed diffractive surface structures, such that each surface region contains a composite surface structure which contributes to more than one of the diffraction images generated by the diffractive device.
- some of the surface regions may include superimposed diffractive surface structures while other surface regions do not.
- the pixels are divided into sub-pixels, some or all of the sub-pixels may be associated with superimposed diffractive surface structures.
- Figure 1 is a magnified representation of a small surface region which upon illumination generates a single pixel in the image plane, with the surface structure comprising a series of lines or grooves oriented in one particular manner.
- Figure 2 shows another magnified small surface region with the lines or grooves oriented in a manner different from that of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 shows a surface region having the surface structure of Figure 1 superimposed on the surface structure of Figure 2.
- Figure 4 shows two diffractive tracks, with differently oriented diffractive surface structures.
- Figure 5 shows the two surface structures of Figure 4 superimposed onto a single track.
- the diffractive device of the present invention has a surface relief structure which, when illuminated by a light source, generates at least two diffraction images which are observable from particular ranges of viewing angles around the device.
- At least one surface region (3) of the diffractive device has two or more superimposed diffractive surface structures (1,2) each of which gives rise to a separate diffraction image or component of a diffraction image.
- the individual surface regions be sufficiently small to be below the resolution limit of a human eye (which is about 250 micron) . It is preferred that the pixels be less than 125 micron in any linear dimension, and more preferably about 30 micron by 30 micron.
- S..(x,y) W i; .(x,y) + ⁇ ij C ij (x,y) ... (1)
- S..(x,y) is the initial phase function generated by the grating pixel ij when illuminated normally by a collimated monochromatic light wave
- W..(x,y) is a carrier wave of non-zero order
- C..(x,y) is a function of x,y which varies rapidly with respect to x and y and whose Hessian is not identically zero, i.e. does not vanish identically; ⁇ 1.].
- the Hessian of C.(x,y) is a standard complex derivative expressed as follows: ⁇ 2 C..(x,y)/ ⁇ x 2 . ⁇ 2 C. • (x,y)/ ⁇ y 2 - [ ⁇ 2 C.. (x,y)/ ⁇ x ⁇ y] 2
- at least part of the surface relief structure is arranged in a series of tracks 4, each track having a diffracting surface 5 which generates a component of a diffraction image.
- two separate image components are generated.
- each of tracks 2 may be of any suitable length. It is preferred that each track be greater than 500 micron in length, and for the sake of convenience, it is preferred that each track extend throughout the length of the diffractive device, although there is no requirement that this be the case.
- each of tracks 4 is straight and arranged in parallel side-by-side configuration. In alternative embodiments, the tracks may be arranged in concentric circles or sections of concentric circles, or in many other curved arrangements.
- Each of tracks 4 may be of any suitable width. It is preferred that the tracks be sufficiently narrow to be not noticeable to the naked human eye. The limit of resolution of a normal human eye examining a diffractive device at close quarters is about 0.25mm. Accordingly, tracks having a width of less than this amount are unlikely to be separately discernible to the human eye. It has been found that incidental diffractive effects become significant if the width of the track is less than about 4 micron (0.004mm), and accordingly it is preferred that each track be wider than 4 micron.
- the diffractive surface structures are preferably produced by means of electron beam lithography.
- the diffractive structures are all line or groove gratings. However, it is not essential that the structures be comprised of lines or grooves; they may alternatively be comprised of polygons arranged in a manner calculated to cause diffraction.
- each pixel is broken down into component sub-pixels.
- Each sub-pixel is generated by a tiny diffraction grating and provides some image information, but it is only when the sub-pixels are viewed together that the complete image information for any given pixel is present.
- one sub-pixel might represent a red value
- another sub-pixel might represent a green value
- another sub-pixel might represent a blue value
- a fourth sub-pixel might represent a brightness value, so that the four sub-pixels when taken together give complete brightness and colour information for a complete pixel.
- Australian provisional application PL 9008 discloses a method of intermingling the sub-pixels of two separate pixels having different orientations and contributing to a different final image.
- the present invention may be used in conjunction with sub-pixels so that any given diffractive surface region may be comprised of two overlaid diffraction gratings, one referable to a sub-pixel portion of each of two images.
