  • Publication number: 20200005269
    Abstract: Disclosed is a general purpose reloadable (GPR) card that consolidates multiple transaction cards, has a unique card number and allows a user to switch among the transaction cards. The GPR card includes a transmission unit, a storage unit, payment units, a display, an operation interface, a rechargeable battery and a microprocessor. The transmission unit is connectable to a smart device to access multiple funding sources for storing on the storage unit. The funding sources are digital data of the transaction cards owned by the user. The display and the operation interface allow the user to view and select one funding source as a default funding choice and provide the same to a third party API service provider who holds a plurality of user preloaded digital data. The payment units provide the unique card number to a point of service; and the microprocessor manages all other elements of the GPR card.

  • Publication number: 20130118681
    Abstract: A fabricating method for electronic card is to interpose an electronic element between an adhesive first outer layer and a non-adhesive detachable pressing plate. The fabricating method comprises following steps. Deposit a first outer layer on a worktable. Embed an electronic element in the first outer layer. Enclose the electronic element by adhesive stuff layer(s). Press foregoing all components via a detachable pressing plate, a quasi-finished laminate is formed with thickness being in preset range. Remove the pressing plate off to form a semi-finished laminate after solidification of the adhesive stuff layer(s). Deposit a second outer layer with a sticky plane over the semi-finished laminate. Apply pressing process on the second outer layer and semi-finished laminate to form a finished laminate due to solidification of the sticky plane on the second outer layer. Finally cut the finished laminate into single electronic cards.

  • Publication number: 20070068621
    Abstract: A manufacturing process of the invention by the use of warm lamination methodto adhere to an IC card having multi electronic componentsis disclosed. The invention mainly intends to prevent the built-in multi electronic components of the IC card from being damaged during the thermal pressing process. In the meantime, the invention can improve yield as well as complete the adhesion of the IC card under the condition having using only the IC card's pressing facility already have that can conform the conditions of the present manufacturing process without affecting the capacity of the production scale. The steps of the manufacturing process are as follows. (I). printing beforehand the upper layer and lower layer of the main body into the required panel in accordance with demands. (II). depending on the requirements, milling hole beforehand for the upper layer of the IC card's main body in accordance with the relative location of the multi electronic components of the built-in IC chip etc.

  • Patent number: 7156313
    Abstract: An IC card with a display panel but without batteries includes a contact/contactless communication interface, a microprocessor, an EEPROM, a rectifier/voltage regulator, a display driver, a charge-pump (26) disposed therein, and a display panel disposed thereon. The microprocessor receives the external data, and displays the data on the display panel so that users can look up the external data. The display panel exhibits a double steady-state function having the characteristic that once the data are displayed, no persistent power supply for the display panel is needed, and thus the displayed data will be preserved persistently until the next time the data are updated. In this way, users are not required to use batteries and can avoid being disturbed by the service life of the batteries.

  • Publication number: 20060061541
    Abstract: A flexible display device includes flexible display panel, a soft PCB (printed circuit board), and a control circuit that provides a micro-controller or a simple control logic circuit, a display driver and a battery. The display panel is an Electrophoretic Display (i.e. a Bistable Display) that has the super-thin and flexible characteristics in function and can easily fabricate into bent strip articles. These articles can combine with soft articles to make them further thinner and lighter, as well as portable to attain the functions of display effect and decoration.

  • Publication number: 20060049263
    Abstract: An “IC card with display panel but without batteries” includes a contact/contactless communication interface (23), a microprocessor (24), an EEPROM (28), a rectifier/voltage regulator (27), a display driver (25), and a charge-pump (26) disposed therein, and a display panel (21) disposed thereon. The microprocessor (24), receives the external data, and displays them on the display panel (21) for the users to look up the external data. The display panel (21) is the one with double steady-state function having the characteristic that once the data are displayed, no persistent power supply for the display panel (21) is needed, thus the displayed data will be preserved persistently until the next time when data are updated. In this way, the users can exempt using batteries that can avoid being disturbed by the service life of the batteries.

  • Publication number: 20040257348
    Abstract: A multi-development picture and picture-frame structure, mainly includes a picture-frame body, and a bistable display with its control circuit, wherein the control circuit is provided with a microprocessor, a memory with its driving circuit, and a memory card reader. The image data in the memory card are accessed by the card reader and stored in the memory such that the image can be displayed on a bistable display without continuous power supply. This is done by selecting the variant image and displaying time through the selection buttons, so as to constitute the displaying effect as a photo picture. The image data can also be received from variant storage through a USB interface, and/or an infrared transmission interface, and/or a Bluetooth transmission interface.
