Optically variable security element, and value document containing the optically variable security element

Abstract

An optically variable security element contains a motif region, and has a main motif shape that is visible to a viewer in the motif region at at least a first viewing angle. The optically variable main motif includes substructures that are visible to the viewer. The substructures are sub-motifs that are visible to the viewer and have a sub-motif shape. The sub-motifs have the same sub-motif shape, and the sub-motif shape corresponds to the main motif shape.
