DISCRIMINATING CARD WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUIT MODULE

摘要

An identification card having an embedded IC module which is protected against external electric fields and electrostatic charges by means of measures of card technology or measures applied to the IC module itself. The IC module, along with the coupling means necessary for the operation of the module, is completely encased in an electrically conductive layer. The electrically conductive casings can be provided in the form of layers in the construction of the card, or on the IC module itself. The conductive casing according to the invention is well-suited both for opto-electronic and for galvanic data transmission.
