KURZ Moves on With KINEGRAM DYNAMIC®

Foil and thin film technology company KURZ has been a pioneer in the use of diffractive optical anti-counterfeit features on banknotes since its earliest developments. Now, KURZ has made another step forward, with OVD Kinegram (OVDK), a member of the KURZ Group since 1999, in introducing its latest optical technology, KINEGRAM DYNAMIC®.

The introduction of KINEGRAM DYNAMIC technology is the next building block in KURZ’s modular banknote protection strategy as it introduces micro-lens based features into the anticounterfeit module.

Unlike some micro-fabrication techniques that rely on a regular array, KINEGRAM DYNAMIC has a structure where the lenses are arranged in a freeform array and the shape and size of the lens surface can be individually adapted to the customer’s requirements. The resulting properties of the array allow design control over the multiple colours, movement, depth, magnification, inversion and light & shade of image elements.
