Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3706086A1] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing personalized optical document security elements and element obtained, the method comprising using confinement surfaces (1, 2), wherein at least one of the confinement surfaces (1, 2) contains a pattern of electrodes (4) and an alignment layer (5) on its inner side, arranging a liquid crystal (3) doped with at least one dichroic dye between the confinement surfaces (1, 2), applying an electric field to the electrodes (4) to orient the liquid crystal (3) according to the voltage applied by each electrode (4), applying light to the liquid crystal (3) through the confinement surfaces (1, 2) until the liquid crystal (3) is polymerized, stopping application of the electric field to the electrodes (4), such that a transparent polymerized liquid crystal film with at least one personalized latent image obtained by applying the electric field to the electrodes (4) is obtained between the confinement surfaces (1, 2).
