PERSONALIZABLE COLOR-SHIFTING DATA CARRIER

A data carrier (1) comprises at least one optically variable element (2), at least one surface element (3a), and at least one security element (4) comprising at least part of the at least one optically variable element (2) and at least part of the at least one surface element (3a). The at least one surface element (3a) is configured to guide impinging electromagnetic radiation (EM) towards the at least one optically variable element (2). The data carrier (1) is configured such, that electromagnetic radiation (EM) is impinging on the at least one surface element (3a) under at least a first arrival angle (α1) when the data carrier (1) is seen under a first observation angle (γ1), and such, that electromagnetic radiation (EM) is impinging on the at least one surface element (3a) under at least a second arrival angle (β1) being different from the first arrival angle (α1) when the data carrier (1) is seen under a second observation angle (γ2) being different from the first observation angle (γ1). The at least one optically variable element (2) is configured to reflect at least a first reflection spectrum (R1a) upon impingement of the electromagnetic radiation (EM) being impinging on the at least one surface element (3a) under the first arrival angle (α1), whereby the at least one security element (4) appears according to at least a first appearance (A1a), and is further configured to reflect at least a second reflection spectrum (R2a) upon impingement of the electromagnetic radiation (EM) being impinging on the at least one surface element (3a) under the second arrival angle (β1), whereby the at least one security element (4) appears according to at least a second appearance (A2a) being different from the first appearance (A1a). L'invention concerne un support de données (1) qui comprend au moins un élément optiquement variable (2), au moins un élément de surface (3a), et au moins un élément de sécurité (4) comprenant au moins une partie dudit au moins un élément optiquement variable (2) et au moins une partie dudit au moins un élément de surface (3a). Le ou les éléments de surface (3a) sont configurés pour guider un rayonnement électromagnétique (EM) incident vers le ou les éléments optiquement variables (2). Le support de données (1) est configuré de telle sorte que le rayonnement électromagnétique (EM) est incident sur le ou les éléments de surface (3a) sous au moins un premier angle d'arrivée (α1) lorsque le support de données (1) est vu sous un premier ang
