Security element comprising microreflectors

A manufacturing method for a flat security element, wherein a flat substrate, which defines a main plane, is equipped with microreflectors which are arranged in a microreflector region and present at least one motif which has a motif effect when the security element is tilted,

• wherein the microreflector region is formed such that it causes a first and a second motif effect with different motif effect types,
• wherein the first motif effect occurs during a tilting movement about a primary axis lying in the main plane, only when a viewing angle is oriented within a first tilting angle range about a secondary axis oblique to the primary axis and lying in the main plane, and the second motif effect occurs during a tilting movement about the primary axis, only when the viewing angle is oriented within a second tilting angle range about the secondary axis
• wherein the motif effect types of the first motif effect and the second motif effect each comprise a different one of:
• motif movement effect,
• motif transition effect,
• motif bulge effect, and
• motif plane effect.

A flat security element with microreflectors, wherein the flat security element has a main plane and the microreflectors are arranged in a microreflector region and present at least one motif for a viewer, said motif having a motif effect when the security element is tilted,

• wherein the microreflector region causes a first motif effect and a second motif effect, said first motif effect being a different motif effect type than said second motif effect,
• wherein the first motif effect occurs during a tilting movement about a primary axis lying in the main plane, only when a viewing angle is oriented within a first tilting angle range about a secondary axis that is oblique to the primary axis and lies in the main plane,
• wherein the second motif effect occurs during a tilting movement about the primary axis, only when the viewing angle is oriented within a second tilting angle range about the secondary axis,
• wherein the microreflector region has a first and a second microreflector subregion which are at least partially nested in one another, and
• wherein the microreflectors of the first microreflector subregion produce the first motif effect and the microreflectors of the second microreflector subregion produce the second motif effect.
