New technology for visible security (1st level) –
easy to verify, hard to falsify
ROLICURE ® Pearl
ROLICURE ® from Rolic Technologies Ltd. is the brand name for
a new generation of technically mature security devices – easily
recognizable, easy to use, difficult to forge.
ROLICURE ® Pearl provides an overt marking (1st level security),
that is readily perceptible by the naked eye.
ROLICURE ® is a registered trademark in many countries.
Application areas
Banknotes
High-security domains, document protection
(e.g. passports, identity cards,
revenue stamps, official documents, checks,
credit cards)
Brand protection on products
or packaging
(e.g. medicines, software, DVDs,
watches, accessories, perfumes,
clothing items)
Specification
ROLICURE ® Pearl uses patent-protected
Rolic LPP technology for contact-free
alignment of liquid crystals. It is based on
light-induced cross-linking of photosensitive polymers.
Images faithfully reproduce artwork
supplied by the customer.
Can also include microtext, distinguishable
like all the other visual elements by a
positive-negative switch (contrast inversion).
Features
Sharp, clearly defined silver-dark shift
(no rainbow effect).
Positive-negative switch (contrast inversion) caused by rotating the element
or changing the viewing angle.
High-resolution imagery
(graphics, pictures, logos and text).
Optical effect is readily visible over a
wide range of viewing angles.
Shows up brightly, even under poor
lighting conditions.
Enables checking with the naked eye,
no explanation or special equipment
required.
Imagery and contrast inversion cannot
be scanned or copied.
ROLICURE ® Pearl is produced on a foil
or label substrate.
Combinable with e.g. 2nd level security
devices.
Our customers and partners are licensees
who use ROLICURE ® Pearl for securitybranding their proprietary products.
ROLICURE® Pearl is a
clear and intuitive verification tool that uses a
novel “positive to negative”
silver-dark image shift
produced by in- and outof-plane rotation.

Rolic Technologies Ltd. is an innovative
Swiss nanotechnology company. We use
polarized light to modify the surface
of photosensitive materials, thus leading
to unique optical effects. We develop
methods, materials and products based
on liquid crystal technology that find
uses in the LCD industry and as security
devices. They are the result of interdisciplinary
research work, project-specific cooperation
and our own expertise at putting technology
directly to work for business. Rolic is setting
new standards in applications for optical
effects.
