optical variable device (OVD)= témoin optique

DOMAINE : photo-électricité et optique électronique

L'ENCRE OVI (OPTICAL VARIABLE INK )
Il s'agit d'une encre qui change de couleur selon l'inclinaison du billet (bleu/vert pour les billets français et vert/noir pour les nouveaux billets américains)

dans ce contexte, on parle aussi d'encres OVS (Optical Variable Shade = teinte optique variable)
