Abstract

See full text

Method of creating a copied fine structure producing a diffractive optical effect onto the target surface, includes using a transfer foil manufactured from thermoplastic, on the surface of which is first created an original fine structure producing a diffractive optical effect; placing the transfer foil on the target surface with the original fine structure is in contact with the target surface; heating the transfer foil to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature of the material of the transfer foil; simultaneously during the heating or immediately after the heating lightly pressing the transfer foil against the target surface, whereby material from the transfer foil adheres to the target surface; and removing the transfer foil from the target surface, whereby the adhered material makes up a copied fine structure, which is a mirror image of the original fine structure of the transfer foil.
