Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021052630A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a security element (4) for producing value documents, such as banknotes (2), checks, or the like, wherein the production method has the following steps: providing a polymer film (12), forming a laterally structured microfibril structure (13) in the polymer film (12) under the effect of standing light waves (16, 16, 16b) using the interference between a reference radiation and a modulated object radiation in order to produce location-dependent crosslinking in the polymer film (12), and developing the film using a solvent such that the polymer film (12) produces a colorful optically variable motif in plan view of the security element (4).
