ABSTRACT
High security and convenient operation have been the aim of the anticounterfeiting field. An anticounterfeit system in which multiple information are written on an overlapping area with quantum dot (QD) inks of different fluorescence wavelengths that combines spectroscopy technology for information identification is proposed in this study. Because the emission spectra of QDs can be tuned by simply changing the size, ultraviolet (UV) glue mixed with different sizes of CdSe/ZnS QDs is used as the printing ink with different fluorescence wavelengths. Software-design labels with different information are printed on the overlapping area using inks with different luminescent QDs. The printed information can only be identified by the bandpass filter with the corresponding wavelength under UV light. Under natural light, the information cannot be identified by the naked eye. In the proposed anticounterfeiting system, the excitation light and filter are both indispensables. Our method makes the fabrication of anticounterfeit labels flexible in design, fast in production, and high in information concealment. Meanwhile, the proposed system is quick and convenient, which has huge application potential in the field of display and anticounterfeiting.
