Abstract

Am image presentation system employing microstructured icon elements to form an image. In one form a synthetic optical image system is provided that includes an array of focusing elements, and an image system that includes or is formed from an array or pattern of microstructured icon elements, such as those described below, wherein the microstructured icon elements are designed to collectively form an image or certain desired information, and wherein the array of focusing elements and the image system cooperate, for example through optical coupling, to form a synthetic optical image which image may optionally be magnified. In another form an image presentation system is provided that includes or is formed from an array or pattern of microstructured icon elements, such as those described below, wherein the microstructured icon elements are designed to collectively form an image or certain selected information, and wherein the image system is designed to stand alone and be the image viewed or the information read by use of a magnifying device, such as a magnifying glass or microscope, that is provided separately from the image system.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 682,231, filed May 18, 2005, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 683,037, filed May 20, 2005, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety . technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an image representation system which, in an exemplary embodiment, is formed from microstructured icon elements in a polymer film. The invention also relates to a synthetic magnification micro-optic system, which in an exemplary embodiment is formed as a polymer film. The extraordinary optical effects provided by various embodiments of the present invention can serve as covert or overt authentication of cash, documents, and products, as well as security devices that enhance the visual quality of products, packaging, printed materials, and consumer goods. Background technique [0004] Different image represe...
