Patent ID: 8284492

Claim:
A micro-optic film structure having one or more planar arrangements of focusing elements, which projects one or more synthetic optical images through the one or more planar arrangements of focusing elements, and one or more static images, which are viewed through the one or more planar arrangements of focusing elements without being projected thereby, wherein the one or more synthetic optical images are spatially coordinated with the one or more static images in such a manner that when viewed simultaneously the one or more synthetic optical images are: visually enhanced by the one or more static images due to their mutual spatial arrangement through: (a) forming a legible phrase; and/or (b) amplifying apparent movement of the one or more synthetic optical images, wherein the one or more static images are in the form of a pattern selected from the group of line patterns, dot patterns, intricate webbing or quilloche patterns, or vignettes; or canceled or rendered visually undetectable by the one or more static images due to their mutual spatial arrangement, wherein the one or more static images are negative or reverse likenesses of the one or more synthetic optical images.
