Part 2: Always On Effect
“Always On” is an effect where the security feature is always on display in multiple viewing angels and is light condition agnostic, making it easier to authenticate. This effect is achieved using nano-optic technology that combines sub-wavelength nanostructures and microstructures to create modern overt security features with a unique and customizable visual effect. It can be viewed without touching the item or document, even if it placed across a table. The Always On effect is striking, extremely pronounced, and emphasized by specific bright colors without holographic rainbowing.
