Description

  The present invention relates to a non-contact IC card, and in particular, a magnetic recording layer, a metal reflection layer, and a hologram layer are provided on at least one surface of a card base, and an IC chip is provided inside the card base. The present invention relates to a non-contact IC card having a built-in communication antenna and capable of transmitting and receiving data without contact.

  With the development of card technology in recent years, there is an IC card applicable to a wide range of uses as an information recording medium used in various communication systems. In this IC card, a contact type IC card capable of writing and reading information by bringing it into contact with a dedicated device, and a writing and reading process of information only by bringing it close to the dedicated device. There are non-contact type IC cards that can be used.

  These IC cards have higher security than magnetic cards having a magnetic recording layer, and have a large amount of information that can be written on the cards themselves, so that they can be used in many ways with only one card. The level of penetration above has been increasing.

  In particular, a non-contact type IC card does not require the IC card itself to be inserted into a dedicated device when performing an information writing process or reading process, and the card itself may be conveniently handled. It is rapidly spreading in the industry.

  There is also an IC card having a magnetic recording layer such as a magnetic stripe, and a communication system using a conventional magnetic recording layer and a communication system using an IC chip can be used with only one card. Make up structure.

  As a technical document filed prior to the present invention, the magnetic recording layer was subjected to hologram processing, and while providing a visual effect by the hologram, functional information processing using the magnetic recording layer was enabled. There is a document disclosing a plastic card with a magnetic stripe (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  As in the plastic card with a magnetic stripe disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in order to enable functional information processing while exhibiting a visual effect by a hologram, a magnetic recording layer subjected to hologram processing, Attempts are currently being made to apply it to non-contact IC cards.

  However, the non-contact IC card to which the magnetic recording layer subjected to hologram processing was applied was subjected to an electrostatic test specified in “JIS X 6305-6” or “JIS X 6305-7” and subjected to hologram processing. When static electricity is discharged to the magnetic recording layer, a discharge current flows from the hologram-processed magnetic recording layer into the antenna embedded in the non-contact IC card, and the discharge current finally becomes the antenna. Flows into the IC chip connected to the IC chip, and electrostatic damage of the IC chip occurs.

  As a technical document filed prior to the present invention, a plastic substrate, a magnetic recording portion formed on the surface of the plastic substrate, an integrated circuit chip embedded in the plastic substrate, and an embedded in the plastic substrate There is a document that discloses an IC card that includes an antenna, and that the antenna does not intersect the magnetic recording unit so that the difference between the magnetic recording unit and the integrated circuit chip is not affected (for example, patent document) 2).

  Further, in a card in which an information recording unit is provided on at least one surface of the card base, an IC and a communication coil are provided in the card base, and the IC and / or the communication coil is the information recording unit. The information recording section provided on at least one surface of the card base is adversely affected by the IC and the communication coil built in the card base, and the information recording section There is a document that discloses a card that prevents an adverse effect on an IC or a communication coil built in a card base material by being provided (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  In a non-contact IC card in which an information recording unit such as a magnetic recording unit or an embossing recording unit is provided on the card surface, and an IC chip and a communication antenna coil are built in the card base, There is a document disclosing a non-contact IC card that makes it possible to ensure a longer communication distance between them (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

Also, it consists of a card board on which a circuit including an antenna circuit is formed, an electronic component such as an IC chip connected to the card board, a skin layer, and a magnetic stripe provided on the skin layer, and the antenna circuit crosses the magnetic stripe. Therefore, there is an IC card in which the sensitivity of the antenna circuit is hardly lowered and a card function can be added (for example, see Patent Document 5).

  The documents disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose cards that prevent adverse effects on IC chips and communication coils. However, a magnetic recording layer subjected to hologram processing is not contacted. No consideration is given to electrostatic breakdown of the IC chip that occurs when applied to an IC card.

  Further, the document disclosed in Patent Document 4 discloses a non-contact IC card that makes it possible to ensure a longer communication distance with the R / W. No consideration is given to electrostatic breakdown of the IC chip that occurs when the magnetic recording layer is applied to a non-contact IC card.

  In addition, the IC card disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 5 suppresses a decrease in sensitivity of the antenna circuit by allowing the antenna circuit to intersect with the magnetic stripe, and enables addition of a card function. The electrostatic breakdown of the IC chip that occurs when the magnetic recording layer subjected to is applied to a non-contact IC card is not considered at all.

  The non-contact IC card according to the present embodiment includes a hologram / recording layer in which at least the magnetic recording layer (22), the metal reflection layer (23), and the hologram layer (24) shown in FIG. The non-contact IC card shown in FIG. 1 in which the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) is formed on the card base (1) is formed by adhering the magnetic recording layer (2) to the card base (1). Will do. As a result, it is possible to form the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) capable of performing mechanical information processing while forming a beautiful hologram on the card surface of the non-contact IC card.

  In general, when the antenna (12) of the non-contact IC card is smaller than the antenna of the reader / writer, the larger the area of the antenna (12) of the non-contact IC card, the more the antenna of the reader / writer. It is possible to obtain a lot of energy from. Therefore, when the communication distance of the non-contact IC card is increased or the power consumption of the IC chip (13) of the non-contact card is increased, the opening area of the antenna (12) of the non-contact IC card is increased. It is necessary to design large.

  For this reason, it is preferable in design that the antenna (12) of the non-contact IC card of the present embodiment is arranged along the outer shape of the IC card. As shown in FIG. It is preferable to design in such a positional relationship that (2) and the antenna (12) embedded in the card base (1) overlap.

  However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) and the antenna (12) embedded in the card base (1) are designed so as to overlap each other, When the electrostatic test is performed by the test method specified in “JIS X 6305-6” of JIS standard, the static value of ± 6 kV specified in “4.3.7” of “JIS X 6322-1” In addition, if an electrostatic test is performed by the test method specified in “JIS X 6305-7” of JIS standard, it is specified in 4.3.7 of “JIS X 6323-1”. There is a problem that it cannot withstand the static electricity of the specified value ± 6 kV.

  The electrostatic test specified in “JIS X 6305-6” or “JIS X 6305-7” is performed using the circuit of the electrostatic discharge test shown in FIG.

  First, an “insulating plate” having a thickness of 0.5 mm is set on a “conductive plate” laid on a wooden base, and a “non-contact IC card” is set on the “insulating plate”. Then, the “spherical probe” with a diameter of 8 mm connected to the “ESD tester” is brought into contact with the “non-contact IC card” to discharge static electricity from the “ESD tester” to the “non-contact IC card”. The performance of the IC chip (13) in the “non-contact IC card” after discharging will be tested.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5, the front and back surfaces of the non-contact IC card are divided into 20 rows by 4 rows and 5 columns, and +6 kV static electricity is applied to 20 locations in order from the front surface side of the non-contact IC card. In addition, -6 kV static electricity is applied at 20 locations, and the same process is performed on the back side of the non-contact IC card.

  When the electrostatic test is performed using the circuit of the electrostatic discharge test shown in FIG. 4, the IC chip (13) embedded in the card base (1) is electrostatically broken. This is because the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) and the antenna (12) embedded in the card base (1) are overlapped, and static electricity is applied to the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2). When discharged, a discharge current flows into the antenna (12) overlapping with the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2), and the discharged current finally flows into the IC chip (13). This is because an excessive load is generated on the chip (13).

For this reason, the present inventors tried various improvements in the non-contact IC card having the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) in order to satisfy the above-described electrostatic test, and as a result of earnest research, FIG. As shown, the antenna (12) is placed in the card base (1) so that the overlapping area of the antenna (12) and the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) is 39.5 mm ² or less. It was found from the experimental results that the above-described electrostatic test was satisfied by being buried. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the IC chip (13) in the electrostatic test of the overlapping area of the antenna (12) and the hologram / magnetic recording layer (2) and the non-contact IC card in which the overlapping area is formed The relationship between the presence or absence of electrostatic breakdown with respect to the above will be described.
