In order to observe more clearly electroluminescent spectrum along with the feature of frequency change, so that operator can intuitively identify the true and false of value document accurately.The exciting field of frequency change causes that it is proper mode that the electroluminescent pigment of spectrum change and the electroluminescent pigment that exciting field does not cause spectrum change are used in conjunction with.
For example, two kinds of electroluminescent ink, wherein the pigment in a kind of ink is in zinc sulphide matrix, to mix Mn and Cu, the pigment in another ink is to mix Mn in zinc sulphide matrix.Because the luminescent lifetime of Mn, two kinds of centres of luminescence of Cu is different, frequency excites down lower than the electric field of 150Hz, and the Mn centre of luminescence is easily activated, and the Cu centre of luminescence is not easy to activate, the transition of the main ShiMn of electroluminescent Validation Counter causes, the color of two kinds of electroluminescent pigment is about the same; Increase along with exciting field frequency, the Cu centre of luminescence is activated gradually, the electric field that is greater than 5000Hz when frequency excites down, the emission spectra that the Cu centre of luminescence is corresponding is more and more stronger, zinc sulphide is mixed the electroluminescent color of Mn and Cu gradually to short wave mobile, the electroluminescent pigment of mixing Mn with zinc sulphide forms obvious contrast, exactly because this Mn, luminescent lifetime difference that two kinds of centres of luminescence of Cu are corresponding cause.By observing emission spectrum with exciting field frequency change, thereby determine the difference of the luminescent lifetime of luminous pigment, differentiate on this basis the true and false of electroluminescent pigment, thereby the authenticity of value document is differentiated.
In fact, electroluminescent pigment generally all has the characteristic of luminescence generated by light, and the spectral signature under optical excitation and the high-frequency electric field spectral signature under exciting is more approaching.As described above zinc sulphide mix Cu and Mn and zinc sulphide mix Mn under optical excitation color respectively, the former is partially green, the latter is partially yellow, the former luminescent spectrum comprises the latter's spectrum.In order to allow adulterator relatively be difficult to discover the difference of this luminescent lifetime, can in mixing the electroluminescent pigment of Mn, zinc sulphide add the green luminous pigment of colorless fluorescent, and the fluorescence color of two kinds of ink under ultraviolet excitation is almost approached, human eye indistinguishable.The luminous printing ink that this pairing is used, has several features, and under ultraviolet excitation, color is almost consistent, under LCF excites, color is also basically identical, under high-frequency electric field excites, color demonstrates obvious difference, by these features, can differentiate the true and false of value document.
In addition, in order to make the gravure ink of the electroluminescent color-change of frequency dependence there is higher hiding function, can add the UV absorption transparent pigment that appropriate particle diameter is very little, as the fine particle of TiO2, under ultraviolet excitation, due to the effect of UV absorption pigment, can not excite electroluminescent pigment to launch fluorescence, yet under electric field excites, UV absorption transparent pigment can be not larger affects electric field excitaton source, and electroluminescent can be normally luminous.
The electric field that excites of frequency change causes the electroluminescent material that electroluminescent spectrum changes, application is except adding to pigment the mode of printing in ink, also be included in and join paper, join fiber, be prepared into the forms such as safety line and be applied to the false proof of value document.
For example, variable color electroluminescent paper, in paper forming process, orientation is discharged the electro-luminescent particles of two kinds of different qualities.By applying electric field, when frequency changes, the situation that other electric field parameters are constant, can find that the color of different electro-luminescent particles changes.Particularly, can realize under certain frequency excites, the glow color of two kinds of light-emitting particles is the same; Change frequency to a certain value, color will occur significantly to change.
Variable color electroluminescent safety line, coated heat melten gel on the PET film of aluminizing, and reserving somewhere not coated heat melten gel of abundant position, object is in order to guarantee that electrode can contact with the aluminium coated on PET.Then, the electro-luminescent particles orientation of two kinds of different qualities is discharged in melten gel position, by heat treatment, light-emitting particles and PET film are bonded together afterwards.This film is cut to required width and obtain color-changing light-emitting safety line.Detector by suitable, applies electric field, and when frequency changes, the situation that other electric field parameters are constant, can find that the color of different electro-luminescent particles changes.Particularly, can realize under certain frequency excites, the glow color of two kinds of light-emitting particles is the same; Change frequency to a certain value, color will occur significantly to change.
Identify the method for this value document, the first step, excites the suprabasil electroluminescent property material of value document with the electric field that excites of at least two frequencies; Second step, the variation of frequency causes that the electroluminescent spectrum shape of property material changes; The 3rd step, when the variation of spectral shape and predefined meeting, announces that this value document is genuine piece.
The specific wavelength that excites electric field to produce is according to the needs of value document authenticity, selects a wavelength within the scope of electroluminescent spectrum, and preferably electroluminescent spectrum resolves into the wavelength corresponding to peak position of one or more Gaussian function stacks.
The AC field that the described alternating voltage that excites electric field to refer to that positive and negative electrode alternately changes causes, described frequency refers to 50Hz-50KHz, preferably 200Hz-5KHz scope.
In machine-readable process, according to the be stimulated impact of source frequency of electroluminescent emission spectrum, so can, by add optical filter when before photo-detector, detect electroluminescent spectrum with the impact that excites electric field frequency to change.
Utilize the present invention, surface printing by the carrier at value document or be embedded at least one safeguard construction, this safeguard construction at least comprises the electroluminescent property material of a specific luminescent lifetime, under this electroluminescent property material can excite at the electric field of specific change, there is specific variation in emission spectrum, this specific relation is judged, has realized the true and false of utilizing electroluminescent to identify value document, makes to identify that the true and false of marketable securities is more simple, accurately and be easy to realize.
The ink pairing of the present invention by two kinds of different colours variation characteristics used, thereby simpler, accurately and be easy to the false proof of the mode value document realized.
