An object of the invention is to provide a thin, low cost card with a display function in which the card display information is able to be rewritten within the card itself, without the use of an external rewriting apparatus. For this purpose, a card with a display function of the present invention comprises a data processing section and a display processing section, wherein the display processing section is equipped with a heating section and a thermosensitive section. By using a selection circuit, a plurality of heating elements of the heating section are heated selectively in accordance with stored data in a memory circuit. On sensing the thermal energy, the corresponding portions of the thermosensitive section undergo a variation in state, thereby displaying information corresponding to the stored data. Consequently, the rewriting of display information can be conducted automatically only within the body of the card itself.
