Identity Document and Method for the Manufacture Thereof

An identity document comprising a data medium with data, said data comprising two images, said images applied offset relative to one another and overlapping one another in an image layer sensitive to laser light, wherein a layer comprising a laser light-permeable material and forming a lens array is applied to said image layer, wherein said images are applied in such a way that when viewed at a first angle to said data medium, the first image is visible, and when viewed at a second angle, said second image is visible, the images comprising two images of the same face observed at different angles, said images applied in such a way and said lenses of the lens array are made in such a way that the distance between said first and second angle is 5° to 20°.

A method for the production of an identity document comprising a data medium with data comprising an image layer and a layer forming a lens array applied thereon, wherein said data comprise two images, said images engraved using a laser bundle in an image layer sensitive to laser light offset relative to one another and overlapping in said image layer with said layer forming a lens array applied thereon in such a way that when viewed at a first angle to said data medium, a first image is visible, and when viewed at a second angle said second image is visible, said two images obtained by providing two images of a face observed at different angles and said images are applied in such a way and said lenses of the lens array are made in such a way that the distance between said first and second angle is 5° to 20°.
