Abstract:
Products, such as branding labels and currency, fabricated to include an optical security element. The optical security assembly may include a carrier film or substrate. An image element, e.g., a printed ink layer, is provided on a first surface of the carrier film/substrate, and the optical security assembly further includes an array or plurality of micro lenses on a second surface of the carrier film/substrate opposite the image element. In order to make the registration and print requirements easier, a mask is provided between the printed ink layer to define color pixels, and the printed ink layer is provided in the form of color blocks in a checkboard pattern with each block aligned with a portion of the mask and a subset of the holes or openings that define the viewable color pixels.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of fabricating a lens-based display assembly, comprising:\n using color separation to generate a plate for each of at least two colors from a digital interlaced image, each of the plates comprising a set of digital data defining a number and a location of pixels of a particular color; dividing each of the plates into a plurality of equally sized sections; identifying a subset of the sections from each of the plates, wherein a different pattern is used to identify each of the subsets of the sections and wherein the different patterns are configured such that there no co-located ones of the sections; generating a combination plate including all of the subsets of the sections of the at least two colors; processing the combination plate to form a file defining a mask with openings at the locations of the pixels in the subsets of the sections and with opaque areas at locations in the combination plate free of the pixels in the subsets of the sections; forming a mask layer, using the file defining the mask, comprising holes corresponding to the pixels in the subsets of the sections and opaque masking elements corresponding to the opaque areas; providing an ink layer over the mask layer using a different color of ink to print a color block that is matched in size and location with the subsets of the sections, thereby forming a checkboard pattern of the color blocks; and mating the mask layer and the ink layer with a lens array, wherein each of the color blocks in the printed image are positioned underneath a differing subset of lenses of the lens array and wherein the mask layer is sandwiched between the ink layer and the lens array with the holes covered or filled with the ink.
