Abstract: The invention provides a thin film transferrable composite comprising a carrier film, a first electrically conductive material, and adhesive. The first electrically conductive material is formed as a deposit on the carrier film and is integrally associated with first portions of the composite, and separably associated with second portions of the composite. The adhesive is arranged to coact with the first electrically conductive material for applying the composite to a receiving surface. The carrier film is separable from the second portions of the electrically conductive material with the first portions of the electrically conductive material remaining with the carrier film. The second portions of the electrically conductive material define a transferrable electrical component.

Abstract: A frangible label which includes a plurality of integrally joined layers deposited successively on a removable carrier film. One or more of the layers are electrically conductive and configured to define an electrical circuit. The label is transferrable from the carrier film onto a receiving surface and is otherwise inseparable from the carrier film without attendant disruption of the circuit. In an alternative embodiment, the label includes an adhesive layer for applying the label to a substrate, such that the plurality of integrally joined layers including the electrical circuit are transferrable to the receiving surface and are otherwise inseparable from the carrier film without destruction of the electrical circuit.
