Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022123241A1] A security device is disclosed, comprising: a substrate (12); a relief structure (20) on a first side of the substrate, the relief structure being a reflective or refractive light-redirecting relief structure configured to redirect light from a light source to thereby project a caustic image; and a colour filter (30). The colour filter is configured to overlap in use at least part of the relief structure, and comprises one or more at least semitransparent materials, at least one of the materials transmitting only a subset of visible light wavelengths corresponding to a respective non-white colour. The caustic image projected by the security device exhibits one or more colour(s) when the security device is illuminated with white light.
