Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an image element array includes: providing a production tool having a surface pattern of ink-receptive elements spaced by areas which are not, the ink-receptive elements defining the array image elements; applying a multi-coloured first image formed of a inks to only the ink-receptive elements; and transferring only the portions of the multi-coloured first image corresponding to the image elements from the production tool to a substrate. An image element array is formed on the substrate. The production tool surface pattern is configured such that when viewing and image element arrays overlap, each viewing element within an image element array first region directs light from a respective image element or from a respective gap. The viewing angle in the first region directs light from either the array or the gaps.

Claim (Index 67):
A method of manufacturing a security device, comprising:\n (i) manufacturing an image element array using the method of  claim 66 ; and (ii) providing a viewing element array overlapping the image element array; wherein the image element array and viewing element array are configured to co-operate such that each viewing element within a first region of the image element array directs light from a respective one of the image elements or from a respective one of the gaps between the image elements in dependence on the viewing angle, whereby depending on the viewing angle the viewing element array in the first region directs light from either the array of image elements or from the gaps therebetween, such that upon changing the viewing angle, the first image is displayed by the image elements in combination across the first region of the image element array at a first range of viewing angles and not at a second range of viewing angles.
