The prevention of counterfeiting labels for various products is addressed
by introducing counterfeit-proof labels having an optically concealed,
invisible universal product code.The label is printed on a
high-resolution micro optic photo chromogenic material. The color bars of
the code are optically split and compressed in high resolution image
elements and arranged at the pre-calculated optical blind angles in
relation to the optical center of the lenticule and the viewing distance
of the label, and due to the optical effect of the micro lenticule, the
complete color product code is not visible when viewing at a normal
viewing distance.The camera of a mobile phone photographs the label at a
close-up distance, with the lens of the camera regrouping the split image
elements of all the color bars to reconstruct the product code that will
be displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.
