QUANTUM Stripe™ Brings Animation Precision to Banknote Security

In the evolving landscape of currency design, the boundary between scientific innovation and artistic expression is blurring. Central banks have long sought features that are not only impossible to replicate but also intuitive for the public to verify.

Authentix addressed this challenge with QUANTUM™ stripe, based on its KolorOptik® technology, launched in 2023. This technology is based on plasmonics and provides a combination of movement, 3D stereoscopic depth, and multicoloured effects in an ultrathin form factor. It offers dynamic effects visible from all angles and under various lighting conditions (see HOT News September 2023).

It has now gone a step further with the latest evolution of its QUANTUM stripe™ platform, introducing full frame-by-frame animation to the world of nano-optic security features.
