Optically variable representation element

An optically variable representation element having at least one reflective surface region, which generates a three-dimensional representation upon observation in reflected light for each of at least two different observation directions,

• wherein the three-dimensional representations at least partially overlap and have different colors at least in some regions in an overlap region, wherein
• the at least one reflective surface region, in a first and a second subregion, which at least partially overlap one another, contains in each case a plurality of reflective facets, which are oriented so that
• the facets of the first subregion create a first three-dimensional representation having a first surface protruding and/or set back in relation to an actual spatial shape of the first surface for an observer from a first observation direction, and
• the facets of the second subregion create a second three-dimensional representation having a second surface protruding and/or set back in relation to an actual spatial shape of the second surface for the observer from a second observation direction, and
• the facets of the reflective surface region in the overlap region of the first and second subregion are provided at least in some regions with subwavelength structures, wherein the subwavelength structures create the different colors of the first and second three-dimensional representations,
• wherein the first and second three-dimensional representations have a same shape and size and are arranged congruently, so that the three-dimensional representations only differ from the at least two different observation directions due to the color differing at least in some regions.

• wherein the subregions are formed by a plurality of strips arranged alternately adjacent to one another or by partial regions interleaved with one another in two dimensions.
