    Abstract: A method for producing security elements, security elements, a security document with at least one security element as well as a transfer film with at least one security element wherein a three-dimensional object is recorded and a surface profile of the three-dimensional object, described by a function F(x,y), is determined, wherein the function F(x,y) describes the distance between the surface profile and a two-dimensional reference surface spanned by co-ordinate axes x and y at the co-ordinate points x and y. A first microstructure is determined in such a way that the structure height of the first microstructure is limited to a predetermined value smaller than the maximum distance between the surface profile and the two-dimensional reference surface, and the first microstructure provides an observer with a first optical perception which corresponds to the surface profile of the three-dimensional object described by the function F(x,y).

    Abstract: A multilayer body (1, 2, 3) and a method for producing a security element are described. The multilayer body has a metal layer (21). An optically active surface relief is molded at least in areas in a first surface of the metal layer (21) facing the upper side of the multilayer body or forming the upper side of the multilayer body and/or in a second surface of the metal layer (21) facing the underside of the multilayer body or forming the underside of the multilayer body. In at least one first area (31 to 39) of the multilayer body the surface relief is formed by a first relief structure (61). In at least one direction (617) determined by an allocated azimuth angle, the first relief structure (61) has a sequence of elevations (612) and depressions (614), the elevations (612) of which follow on from each other with a period P which is smaller than a wavelength of visible light, wherein the minima of the depressions (614) lie on a base surface and the first relief structure (61) has a relief depth t which is determined by the spacing of the maxima of the elevations (612) of the first relief structure (61) from the base surface in a direction perpendicular to the base surface. The profile shape and/or the relief depth t of the first relief structure (61) is chosen such that the colored appearance of the light (52, 53) incident on the first area (31 to 39) at least at a first angle of incidence and directly reflected by the metal layer (21) in the first area or directly transmitted through the metal layer is modified, in particular is modified by plasmon resonance of the metal layer with the incident light.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a security element (2), in particular in the form of a multi-layer flexible film body, with a top side facing an observer and a back side facing away from the observer, as well as a method for the production thereof. The security element (2) has one or more light-emitting elements arranged in a first area (30) of the security element which radiate light when activated and in particular are formed in each case of a self-luminous, electrically operated, display element. The security element (2) has, in the first area (30), one or more transmissive diffraction structures. The one or more transmissive diffraction structures are arranged such that at least a part of the light radiated by the activated one or more light-emitting elements transmits through at least one partial area of the transmissive diffraction structures.
