  This role is obtained by the aforementioned card. There are at least two display elements, the first element (7) shows information about the cardholder (3), expiry date (4) and card number (2), the second element (8) is virtually free And includes card usage limit information (5) composed of numbers or letters and currency units (2), and this information represents details in letters or amounts indicating the usage limit.

That is, the second display element (8) can be identified not only from the visual sense but also from the texture. Thus, the second display element (8) is visible and tactile.

  The second display element (8) has the further advantage that it comprises an electronic display and another special display. The information given to the second display element (8) can be changed through this display.
