摘要：

An electrosensitive security laminate including a magnetic layer providing a magnetically encodable substrate. The laminate includes a base layer such as paper, a magnetic layer deposited on the base layer, and a vapor deposited metallic layer either over the magnetic layer or the opposite face of the base layer. Additional security may be achieved by including a decorative intermediate layer having a visibly nonuniform pattern. The user may detect a magnetically encoded pattern using a device which forms a visible pattern in accordance with any magnetic field adjacent the laminate. The patterned intermediate layer where included may be selectively exposed by electrically imprinting the metallized layer, thereby exposing a background pattern within any inscribed indicia.
