The prevention of counterfeiting labels for various products is addressed by introducing counterfeit-proof labels having an optically concealed, invisible universal product code.

The label is printed on a high-resolution micro optic photo chromogenic material. The color bars of the code are optically split and compressed in high resolution image elements and arranged at the pre-calculated optical blind angles in relation to the optical center of the lenticule and the viewing distance of the label, and due to the optical effect of the micro lenticule, the complete color product code is not visible when viewing at a normal viewing distance.

The camera of a mobile phone photographs the label at a close-up distance, with the lens of the camera regrouping the split image elements of all the color bars to reconstruct the product code that will be displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. The consumer can match the printed reference code on the label or the product with the product code displayed on the screen for visual identification, or the color photo of the universal product code can be sent by the mobile phone installed with a related software to an Anti-counterfeiting Control Center for computer matching and verification and the consumer will be advised of the result in a matter of seconds.

Tunable photonic crystals offer an interesting possibility to adjust the photonic band gap (PBG) as per requirement. Various methods of achieving this have been tried that include polarization of liquid crystals, thermal effects and more. Chromogenic devices provided in accordance with the present invention include combinations and subcombinations of electrochromic, photochromic, thermochromic devices featuring TMO based inverse opals having tunable photonic band gaps (PBG) for certain frequencies. Electrochromic (EC) materials in which a reversible optical property change can be induced with the application of a small electric field offer a novel possibility to tune the PBG in a controlled and reversible way. The reversible chemical change and the ensuing change of optical constants in these periodically arranged EC materials make the PBG tunability possible. In a recent work we have demonstrated for the first time the PBG tunability of EC materials deposited in the form of periodic inverse opals. This earlier work was carried out with the well known Tungsten Trioxide (WO₃) EC thin films into which lithium intercalation was done by a dry lithiation method. In the present work we report on the fabrication of a simple tunable photonic crystal device based on electrochemical insertion/extraction of lithium based on WO₃ inverse opals. In alternative embodiments, any suitable transparent conductor can be utilised instead of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO); any suitable electrochromic transition metal oxide, such as for example Molybdenum Oxide (MoO3), Vanadium Pentoxide (V₂O₅), Titanium Oxide (TiO₂), Chromium Oxide (Cr₂O₃), or Cerium Oxide (CeO₂) can be utilised instead of Tungsten Oxide (WO₃); and any suitable electrolyte solution can be utilised instead of LiClO₄ in Polypropylene Carbonate (LiClO₄/PC) solution.
