  • IC label for prevention of forgery
    Patent number: 8395504
    Abstract: An IC label for prevention of forgery includes: a label substrate which has an adhesive agent for affixing the same to an object; a non-contact IC medium which is provided on the label substrate and has an IC chip for storing predetermined identification information and an antenna for wireless transmission of the identification information; and a security function portion which is provided on the label substrate and prevents replication.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2007
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2013
    Assignees: Toppan Printing Co., Ltd., Hitachi, Ltd.

  • Contactless IC label
    Patent number: 8376236
    Abstract: A contactless integrated circuit (IC) label has an IC chip and is capable of exchanging data with an external reading device without contact. The contactless IC label includes: a transparent label base material; an optical variable device formed on a lower surface of the label base material; a conductive layer bonded to and formed on a lower surface of the optical variable device, and configured to function as an antenna of the IC chip; a connecting layer electrically connected to the IC chip; an insulating layer formed between the conductive layer and the connecting layer, and configured to electrically couple the conductive layer and the connecting layer; and an impedance adjusting unit formed on at least the connecting layer of the conductive layer and the connecting layer, and configured to adjust impedances of the conductive layer and the IC chip.
