INFORMATION CARRIER PROVIDED WITH A TRANSITIONAL REGION BETWEEN THE CLAMPING AREA AND THE INFORMATION AREA

摘要

An information carrier on which a clamping area ( 12 ) and an information area ( 13 ) are defined, has an integrated circuit and an antenna ( 22 ) which is coupled to the integrated circuit. The antenna is positioned in the region between the information area and the clamping area. The disc also has a metal layer and a polycarbonate layer in which the information is stored. To improve the communication between the integrated circuit on the disc and the apparatus, the information carrier has no metal layer in the region of the antenna, i.e. the region between the information area and the clamping area. In this way, there is no possibility or eddy currents to occur.
