Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03095228A1] The invention relates to an optically variable element, in particular an optically variable security element for safeguarding banknotes, credit cards or similar, in addition to a security product and a foil, in particular a stamped foil or a laminated foil comprising an optically variable element of this type. The optically variable element has a thin-film layer (54, 55, 58) for creating colour shifts by means of interference and an additional layer (51, 52, 53, 59). The thin-film is configured as a partial thin-film element, which covers only certain regions of the surface area of the additional layer, forming a pattern.
