How do Pulsar™ threads work?
The Pulsar™ structure consists of an array of curved micro mirrors that reflect light back to the observer.
As the thread is tilted along the vertical and horizontal axes, the micro mirrors generate subtle colour variations and dynamic rippling movements.
The micro mirrors can be assembled in different ways to produce a range of eye-catching effects and customisable designs.
Did you know?
Pulsar™ is inspired from the observation of sand dunes in the desert and the beautiful sight of declining sunlight falling on their slopes always in a smooth fashion revealing a multitude of alternation of shadow and light.
This is the way our curved micro-mirrors have been calculated at microscopic scale to generate the Pulsar™ effects.
Pulsar™ is one of the most technically advanced micro-optic security threads on the market.
Its dynamic movement, colour, and customised optical effects can be tailored to each banknote design.
A robust and long-lasting thread, Pulsar™ can be used with high durability papers. It can also be varnished and is machine readable.
