CONTACTLESS IC MODULE AND ITS PRODUCTION AND CONTACTLESS IC CARD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contactless IC module which is used for an IC card and can improve its yield, to provide a contactless IC card which contains the contactless IC module and to provide the methods for production of those IC module. SOLUTION: A contactless IC module comprises a contactless IC inlet 5 having at least an IC chip 3 and an antenna 4 connected to the chip 3, and a protective member 6 which covers the inlet 5. At least a part of the member 6 can transmit the visible light. The inlet 5 is covered with the member 6 and then blanked after confirming its position. Thus, the module is produced in the form of a package.
