Abstract:
Products, such as branding labels, credit cards, and currency, that are fabricated so as to include an optical security element, which is designed to provide enhanced optical focusing onto each color used in the printed image (or in the ink layer). 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 (when the substrate/carrier film is transparent). In order to make the registration and print requirements easier, pixels are isolated into sections of the printed ink layer, which can then be arranged to align with sets of lenses (i.e., each set/group of lenses may be dedicated to focusing upon a particular color of ink).

Claim (Index 5):
A method of fabricating a lens-based display assembly for use as a security feature, 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 using the file defining the mask; forming a printed image using a different color of ink to print a color block that is matched in size and location with the subsets of the sections; and mating the mask and the printed image 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.
