Abstract: A method is provided for producing a smart card including at least one chip and another electronic component having a face accessible from the outside. The method includes: forming a card body having two opposing faces and in which at least two recesses are formed, one being a through-recess extending from one of the faces to the other, forming a first module including the chip and forming a second module separate from the first module and including the other electronic component, the second module including a support to which the component is secured opposite the face that must be accessible, securing the second module in the through-recess from the face of the body that is opposite the face through which the face of the component must be accessible, via a shoulder in the through-recess, and securing the first module in the other recess.

Abstract: A method of placing an element onto a data carrier, where there is a placement actuator arranged to be able to secure the element. A transport layer is advanced until the element is located between the placement actuator and the data carrier in a desired position. The actuator is moved towards the data carrier so that it secures the element. The transport layer is then retracted to detach the element from it and then the placement element is moved towards the data carrier to bring the element into contact with the data carrier at the desired position.

Abstract: The light-emitting diode is provided with a lid and is capable of emitting a first predefined color. The card further comprises a near field communications antenna circuit, the circuit and the diode being configured so that the diode emits light when a current of predefined intensity flows in the circuit. More particularly, the lid of the diode is coated with a mass of material forming means for selecting a set of wavelengths from those making up the first color so that the light transmitted through the mass has a second predefined color different from the first color.
