IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD AND MICROOPTICAL SAFETY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G02B27/10 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: image display system includes an array of microstructured pictogram elements made for combined formation of an image or information, and structured coating material applied on at least part of the surface of a layer of microstructured pictograms. Observation or reading using a magnifying device is possible. The array of microstructured pictogram elements is embedded in a pictogram layer. Structuring of the coating material makes up a region where there is coating material and regions where there is no coating material. The artificial imaging system includes an array of focusing elements and an imaging system which includes an array of microstructured pictogram elements which is embedded in the pictogram layer. The array of focusing elements and the imaging system interact in order to form at least one artificial optical image. Structured coating material is used, which is applied on at least part of the surface of the microstructured pictogram layer. Structuring of the coating material makes up a region where there is coating material and regions where there is no coating material.

EFFECT: enabling open authentication of currency, documents, industrial articles and products, and visual magnification of industrial articles, products and packaging.
