    State of the art
    Nowadays, damage to various products such as wrist watches, jewelry, bags, jewelry and the like of famous brands by counterfeit products is increasing. The damage that a company suffers from counterfeit products is considerable, so great that if For example, counterfeit products are offered on the market at a low price, which not only results in the loss of sales markets for the real product, but also destroys the business model. If a badly counterfeit product spreads negative user experiences, it can destroy trust in a brand's long-standing image.
    For this reason, in order to prevent damage from counterfeit products, counterfeiting techniques have been developed to distinguish genuine products from counterfeit products. This is e.g. B. in Patent Literature 1 described.
    Patent Literature 1 describes a protection device for information signs which comprises a transparent plate which is fixed on a case part of a wrist watch and in which the information signs can be read through the plate. A production label, which indicates the place of manufacture of the wristwatch, and a trademark are mentioned as information symbols. These information symbols are inserted between the transparent plate and the housing part of the wristwatch, and the plate is also permanently glued to the housing part. Thereby, the buyer of the wristwatch can ascertain the authenticity of the wristwatch through the information signs through visual observation.
    Although the protective device according to Patent Literature 1 has an anti-counterfeiting effect, it does not take into account that a decorative effect required for the wristwatch should be added to the wristwatch.
    As prior art for adding a separate decorative effect to a wristwatch you can, for. B. cite patent literature 2. Patent literature 2 describes a watch glass in a two-layer construction of two transparent glass panes placed on top of one another, in which a light-emitting part shines as desired, whereby the watch glass is provided with excellent colors and a decorative effect. The two glass panes are glued together by a transparent adhesive, and a light-emitting part is furthermore arranged between the glass panes. This light-emitting part reacts to a UV ray with a wavelength between 350 nm and 420 nm or 254 nm and 365 nm and shines, whereby a watch glass excellent in color and decorative effect is provided.

    The embodiment of the present invention will be explained below. However, the present invention is not limited only to the following embodiment.
    Embodiment
    The component according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 (a) shows a plan view, FIG. 1 (b) shows a side view and FIG. 2 shows a partially enlarged side sectional view. The component 1 according to the present exemplary embodiment is formed from at least only a first element 2 (hereinafter it is referred to only as "Element 2"). 1 and 2, an embodiment with regard to the arrangement of the light-emitting material 5 on the side surface 2a of the element 2, which forms the component 1 in its shape, is shown as an example.
    As shown in Fig. 1, the outer shape of the element 2 is formed in a circular plate shape. The element 2 consists of single crystal sapphire, single crystal ruby, single crystal diamond or quartz glass. Such a material is shaped into a circular plate by grinding or polishing. With regard to the permeability coefficient of the material that forms the element 2, it is sufficient if, when measuring the permeability coefficient by a spectrophotometer, the permeability coefficient z. B. in a wavelength range from 400 nm to 800 nm, a predetermined value (z. B. greater than or equal to 80%) is met.
    The particular material that forms the element 2 can be processed by a generally known method. In the case of single crystal sapphire or single crystal ruby, the single crystal sapphire or single crystal ruby is used, which is produced by the EFG (Edgedefined Film-fed Growth) method, the Kyropoulos method, the Czochralski method, the Verneuil method, the vertical Bridgman method or the like. Was bred. A single crystal diamond can be formed by the epitaxial method.
    When forming the element 2 z. B. from single crystal sapphire such a single crystal sapphire can be used in which with respect to the crystal face orientation z. B. the surface 2a is aligned along the c-surface. However, this surface is not limited to the c-surface. Any crystal face such as r-face, a-face, m-face or the like can be selected as the surface.
    The top view shape of the element 2 may be a round shape, as shown in Fig. 1, or some other shape that is not shown. The other plan view form of the element 2 means that the plan view form of the element 2 can be square, rectangular, elliptical, polygonal with more than or equal to three corners or star-shaped. If the element 2 is in the form of a polygon with more than or equal to three corners, the top view shape can be modified so that each corner is rounded and corner rounds are included.
    In a recess in the surface 2a of the element 2, a graphic or a character, in particular a letter, is formed. In the present exemplary embodiment, as one embodiment of the point of arrangement of the light-emitting material 5, a plurality of letters 4, here A from the alphabet, are formed in a recess in the surface 2a of the element 2. The partially enlarged side sectional view of the recess 2b is shown in FIG. As a graphic or character, all characters such as letters of the alphabet, hiragana, katakana [both, Japanese syllable characters], Chinese characters, numerals, Chinese numerals, symbols and the like, and brand logos are considered. Basic figures such as circles or triangles or squares and complex geometric patterns and trademarks that stand for a brand or a manufacturer are also considered graphics.
    The formation of the recess 2b for the letter 4 or the graphic or the character can be done by laser scanning. From the viewpoint of resistance to laser scanning, single crystal sapphire, single crystal ruby or single crystal diamond is preferred as the material for the element 2. As a single crystal sapphire, both a colorless single crystal sapphire and a colored single crystal sapphire such as. B. a pink can be used. Furthermore, although the depth of the depression 2b can be set differently, it can, for example, be set in a range from 0.05 mm to 0.15 mm.
    As shown in Fig. 2, the light emitting material 5 is further inside the recess 2b such as. B. in that of the letters 4 arranged. An afterglow (phosphorescent body), a fluorescent body or a light-emitting glass is used as the light-emitting material 5, each of which emits light in the UV radiation range (with a wavelength of greater than or equal to 250 nm to less than or equal to 400 nm). Inorganic pigments of alumina-based oxides and pigments based on sulfides are specified as afterglow (phosphorescent bodies). Fluorescent colors are mentioned as fluorescent bodies.
    The component 1 formed in the above manner is irradiated from the outside with a light with a wavelength of greater than or equal to 250 nm to less than or equal to 400 nm, whereby the light-emitting body 5 lights up. The component 1 is preferably placed in the dark (for verification), since the light emission as a result of the irradiation occurs more effectively in this way. A UV lamp known as a black light lamp or a UV-emitting diode (LED), which emits light in the UV radiation range with a wavelength of greater than or equal to 250 nm to less than or equal to 400 nm, is suitable as the illuminant. In response to the light emitted by this luminaire, which has a wavelength in the UV radiation range, part of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character lights up in color due to the light emission of the light-emitting material 5.
    According to these construction variants, a minimal arrangement or a minimal construction of the light-emitting material 5 is possible, since the arrangement area of the light-emitting material 5 is limited only to the recess 2b of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character, and while reducing the manufacturing cost of the Component 1, the distinguishability and identification can be improved.
    Furthermore, the presence or absence of light emission by irradiation with a commercially available UV lamp known as a black light lamp or a UV-emitting diode (LED), which emits light in the UV radiation range with a wavelength of greater than or equal to 250 nm emits less than or equal to 400 nm, can easily be determined if the light-emitting material 5, which is illuminated when irradiated with a light with a wavelength of greater than or equal to 250 nm to less than or equal to 400 nm, is used for the component 1. Furthermore, it is possible to use the light emission to assess the authenticity and as a measure against counterfeiting of the component 1.
    As shown in FIG. 2, with respect to the component 1, it is further preferred that the opening of the recess 2b in which the light-emitting material 5 is arranged is coated with a film or an ink 3. The reason for this is that the presence or absence of a light-emitting material 5, which is used as a measure against counterfeiting, can be difficult to detect only by visually observing the component 1 when the opening in the recess 2b in which the light-emitting material 5 is arranged is coated with a film or an ink 3. It is therefore possible to increase the counterfeit protection effect of the component 1.
    Although the film 3 can be arbitrarily formed on the surface 2a on the side on which the recess 2b is formed, in the present embodiment, a film by sputtering method is given as an example, so that a metal film which gold, silver or any color (blue or the like.) Can be formed. Although the thickness of the metal film can be set arbitrarily, it can be set to, for example, greater than or equal to 50 nm to less than or equal to 200 nm.
    As the ink 3, color inks such as. B. Pigments and printing ink are applied to the surface 2a on the side on which the recess 2b is formed. Such a film or such an ink 3 can increase the decorative effect of the component 1.
    The surface 2a is mirror-polished in such a way that it has a surface roughness Ra of less than or equal to 0.1 μm. The surface roughness Ra can be determined by a device for measuring the surface roughness.
    Furthermore, it is preferred that the size of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character is set in a range below 10 μm. This is because if the size of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character is set in an area below 10 µm, it is difficult to detect a letter 4 or a graphic or a character by visual observation only. Therefore, when a wristwatch as an original product or the like is provided with the component 1, it is possible to make it more difficult to determine where in the original product a measure against counterfeiting was carried out, or what exactly this measure against counterfeiting itself represents, whereby it can be prevented that manufacturers of counterfeit products easily imitate counterfeit measures per se. As a result, the counterfeit protection of the original product can be increased.
    The size of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character in an area below 10 μm is considered to be such a size that when visually viewing the component 1 with the naked eye from the top view direction (e.g. from the direction at the visual observation of the component 1 as shown in Fig. 1) is set to all sizes of the respective length and width of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character in an area below 10 microns. In the present invention, it is defined such that the limit of the recognizability of a letter 4 or a graphic or a character with the naked human eye is less than 10 μm. Therefore, in the present invention, a letter 4 or a graphic or a character can be recognized with the naked human eye if the size of the letter 4 or the graphic or the character is in the range of greater than or equal to 10 µm.
    By providing a wristwatch, a bag, an item of jewelry (z. B. ring, necklace, earring and bracelet), a shield or a clasp with the component 1, it is possible to determine where in the original product a measure against counterfeiting was made, or what exactly this measure against counterfeiting itself represents, to make it more difficult, whereby it can be prevented that manufacturers of counterfeit products easily imitate measures against counterfeiting per se. As a result, the counterfeit protection of the original product can be increased. In each case, FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a ring 6 which is provided with the component 1, FIG. 4 shows a schematic illustration of an earring 7 which is provided with the component 1, and FIG. 5 shows a schematic illustration of a Pocket 8, which is provided with the component 1, is shown.
    Furthermore, the component 1 can be further developed horizontally to other products. In particular, by providing a sign, a closure or the like with the component 1, the component 1 according to the present invention can further be used in combination with other products.
    If the component 1 is used, for example, as a cover piece to protect a dial of a wristwatch, the dimensions of the outer shape of the component 1 according to FIG mm to about 2 mm. Of course, the dimensions can be set differently according to the details of the wristwatch, the piece of jewelry, the bag, the jewelry item, the label or the zipper on which the component 1 is provided.
    The above exemplary embodiment can be varied in different ways on the basis of its technical idea. The outer shape of the element 2 is z. B. not limited to the plate-like workpiece. A closed band shape is e.g. B. also possible.
