DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a non-contact type IC card, and more particularly to an antenna unit for transmitting and receiving data and an IC.
The present invention relates to a non-contact type IC card in which a circuit is included in a base sheet and has a printed portion at a desired position on the front and back surfaces.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an IC card includes an IC module and transmits and receives data through an external reader / writer.
It has been proposed to use it as a pass ticket event numbered ticket or the like. As the embodiments of these IC cards, there are a type having a data input / output terminal on the card surface and a non-contact type in which an antenna unit for transmitting and receiving data is included in a base sheet.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Among the above IC cards,
Non-contact type IC cards do not have input / output terminals on the card surface, so they can be processed into a card shape and then printed on the surface, making it easier to stock cards. Usage rates also tend to increase.
However, although it is easier to print after being processed into a card shape, since the IC circuit is included, the IC circuit may be damaged by the influence of heat and pressure during printing with a printer, etc. There were also restrictions on use. The present invention solves these drawbacks and provides a non-contact type IC that does not have the possibility of damaging the IC circuit due to heat and pressure during printing by a printer.
The purpose is to provide a C card.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a non-contact type IC card according to the present invention includes an antenna section for transmitting and receiving data and an IC circuit in a base sheet, and further includes a resin on both sides. A non-contact type IC card in which sheets are laminated, and a printing unit using heat-resistant ink is provided on the surface of the non-contact type IC card, and a variable printing unit using a printer is provided at a predetermined position, and is included in the base sheet. The IC circuit includes the IC circuit at a position other than the variable printing section.

[0005] In addition, ideally, a preferred form can be obtained by arranging, in the printing unit, the internal position of the IC circuit arranged in a position other than the variable printing unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a surface explanatory view of a non-contact type IC card of the present invention, and FIG.
It is X-ray sectional explanatory drawing. As shown by the dotted line in FIG. 1, a non-contact type IC card 1 of the present invention includes an antenna unit 2 for transmitting and receiving data and an IC circuit 3 in a base sheet 4 and further includes polyethylene terephthalate ( Commonly known as P
(ET material) or a resin sheet made of polypropylene.

The non-contact type IC card 1 of the present invention can be easily printed on the surface after being processed into a card shape as described above, and has a printing section 5 as shown in FIG. The printing unit 5 is made of heat-resistant ink, and at least black ink of the heat-resistant ink is
It is composed of carbonless ink. Thereby, at the time of toner printing by non-impact (electrostatographic printing) on the card surface, it is possible to prevent heat generation in the black printing portion and to avoid the influence of the heat and pressure on the IC circuit 3.

The heat-resistant ink uses UV ink, which is dried by a UV lamp or the like. In the case of non-impact toner printing on the card surface, the ink in the printing unit 3 is not melted. Stable printing can be performed, and the IC circuit 3 on the inner surface side of the printing unit 3 can be protected from heat and pressure.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a printing unit for printing variable information by a printer, and at least the printing unit is coated with a surface coat made of various resins or conductive materials in order to impart toner printability. First, at the time of non-impact toner printing, it is desirable to apply a conductive material to improve transferability and to set the resistance value of the card surface to 1.0 × 10 11 ohms or less. Various resins are applied to improve the fixability of the toner, and an anchor coat layer is formed.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, the portion where the IC circuit 3 is located is located in the printing section 5, and the IC circuit 3 is not located in the printing section 6 by the printer. As a result, since the IC circuit 3 is not located at the toner adhering portion during non-impact toner printing, the IC circuit 3 can be protected since the heat pressure of the toner adhering portion is not directly applied to the IC circuit 3.

The IC circuit 3 is formed as a simple memory or an MPU (microprocessor unit).
May be used, and various circuits may be selected depending on the application. The variable information of the printing unit 3 includes the card owner, the address of the card lender,
Necessary items such as name, telephone number, company name, affiliation, and name are appropriately selected and printed according to the application.

Further, in order to provide toner printing suitability, the surface coat with the various resins and conductive materials is applied in advance to a resin sheet before a non-contact type IC card is formed by laminating resin sheets on the front and back. It may be.

[0013]

The non-contact type IC card of the present invention has the above-described configuration. According to the present invention, printing can be performed easily even with an IC card including an IC circuit. It is possible to provide a non-contact type IC card which does not easily break the IC circuit without applying heat pressure to the IC circuit.
