Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a security feature with a luminescent pigment which has a host lattice doped with a luminophore and which is optically excitable to emit luminescent light. The luminescent light of the luminescent pigment has a luminescence spectrum with a first luminescence peak and a second luminescence peak whose peak intensities respectively depend on an amount fraction x of the luminophore in the luminescent pigment. In the luminescent pigment according to the invention, the host lattice and the luminophore and the amount fraction x of the luminophore are chosen such that even a slight increase or reduction of the amount fraction x of the luminophore causes a strong relative change of the peak intensities IA and IB. This increases the forgery-proofness of the luminescent pigment according to the invention.
