Embodiment Construction
[0041] figure 1 A security element S with a double wire grid embedded in a substrate and consisting of two wire grid structures 2 , 6 is shown in cross section. The substrate comprises a dielectric carrier 1 on which a first wire grid structure 2 arranged in a plane L1 is incorporated in a dielectric layer (for example an embossing lacquer layer). The first wire grid structure 2 consists of a first grid 3 having a width b, which extends in the longitudinal direction (ie, the direction perpendicular to the paper). Between the first grids 3 there are first grid gaps 4 which have a width a.
[0042] Each grid 3 is composed of a double layer consisting of a high-refractive material 3a having a thickness t4 and a metallic material 3b having a thickness t2. Thus, the thickness of the first grid 3 (measured perpendicular to the plane L1) is t2+t4. At a height h above the first grid 3 there is a second wire grid structure 6 in the plane L2, which has a second grid 7 which likewise ...
