Patent ID: 7808710

Claim:
A multilayer body comprising a transparent first layer in which a plurality of microlenses are shaped and a second layer which is arranged beneath the first layer and which has a plurality of microimages, wherein the microlenses are arranged in accordance with a microlens raster and the microimages are arranged in accordance with a microimage raster, wherein the second layer has a plurality of microimage regions, with each of which there are respectively associated two or more of the microimages and which are arranged in accordance with a microimage region raster, the raster width of which is <300 μm, wherein within each one of the microimage regions respectively two or more of the microimages differ from each other, the microimages have first regions with a color value of zero and second regions with one of G different colors and a respective unitary color value >zero, with respect to a standardized color value scale of between 0 and 1 embracing F G color values, two or more of the microimages of each microimage region differ in their color and the microimages are so selected from a set of microimages that upon superpositioning of the optical action of the microimages arranged in a microimage region the result is a graduated image impression with color values from a color space embracing G* F G color values, and the raster spacings of the microlens raster and the microimage raster in each microimage region differ from each other by less than 10%.
