Abstract:
An improved form of optical security device for use in the protection of documents and articles of value from counterfeit and to verify authenticity is provided. The inventive device, which is made up of an optionally embedded array of icon focusing elements, at least one grayscale in-plane image, and a plurality of coextensive control patterns of icons contained on or within the in-plane image, each control pattern being mapped to areas of the grayscale in-plane image having a range of grayscale levels, provides enhanced design capability, improved visual impact, and greater resistance to manufacturing variations.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical security device, which comprises:\n an array of icon focusing elements; a grayscale in-plane image that visually lies substantially in a plane of a substrate on which the in-plane image is carried; and a plurality of control patterns of icons contained on or within the in-plane image, the plurality of control patterns forming an icon layer, each control pattern being mapped to areas of the in-plane image associated with a range of grayscale levels, wherein placement of the control patterns of icons within the in-plane image is determined using a control pattern probability distribution associated with each grayscale level within all or part of the in-plane image, wherein the array of icon focusing elements is positioned to form a synthetically magnified image of at least a portion of the icons in each control pattern of icons, the synthetically magnified image having a dynamic effect, wherein the dynamic effect of the synthetically magnified image is controlled by the control patterns of icons.
