Embodiment Construction

[0147] Embodiments shown in the drawings will now be described in detail. Although several embodiments have been described with reference to these drawings, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments disclosed here. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents.

[0148] For brevity and to avoid repetitive explanations, all subsequent references to the following terms are to be understood as defined, explained and specified herein. For convenience, terms defined below are printed in bold type the first time they are used in the description of a particular embodiment.

[0149] icon fill material - Any material used to fill the microstructure icon elements. Icon fill materials can be gases, liquids, gels, powders, solids, latex, suspensions, synthetic materials, and combinations thereof. Icon fill materials typically provide certain properties that are measurable or detectable and distinct from the surr...

Abstract

A synthetic micro-optic system and security device is disclosed including an in-plane image formed of an array or pattern of image icons and an array of focusing elements, the system producing at least two different synthetic images whereby one synthetic image operates to modulate or control the extent of the appearance of another synthetic image. In an exemplary form, the array of image icons forms an in-plane synthetic image, while the interaction of the array of focusing elements with the array of image icons forms a separate synthetically magnified image that serves to control the field of view of the in-plane image and, thus, serves to modulate or control the extent of appearance of the in-plane image. The appearance of the in-plane image, thus, visually appears and disappears, or turn on and off, depending upon the viewing angle of the system.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 817,298, filed June 28, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a micro-optic image representation system, which in an exemplary embodiment is formed from an array of focusing elements in a polymer film and icon elements of the image array. The invention also relates to a synthetic magnification micro-optic system, which in an exemplary embodiment is formed as a polymer film. The unusual optical effects provided by various embodiments of the present invention can serve as covert or overt authentication of currency, documents, and products, as well as security devices that enhance the visual quality of products, packaging, printed materials, and consumer goods. Background technique [0004] Various image representation systems have been...
