Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0102192A1] A security article such as banknotes, credit cards, passports, security passes, etc. comprising a transparent plastics substrate (2) bearing a diffractive optic filter (6) comprising at least a first zone (7) and second zone (8), with first and second diffractive structures or gratings formed in each zone. The first diffractive structure being operative to discriminatingly project a first selected colour at a first selected colour at a viewing angle by diffracting at least a first spectral component (e.g. red and green) of polychromatic light transmitted through said first zone by at least an angle theta from said viewing angle, said first colour forming at least part of a projected security image when said diffractive optic filter is viewed at said viewing angle.
