Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transaction cards and, more particularly, to transaction cards having a metallic body.
Generally, transaction cards such as smart credit/debit cards, access cards, EMV cards, and the like may include components such as electronic chips to perform memory storage, computing, or communication functions. Transaction cards having electronic chips generally include a region on or near the card surface to embed the electronic chip. Such cards may or may not have contactless capabilities. Contactless capability enables wireless communication using radio frequency (RF) signals provided by radio communication functionality built into the contactless card.
Metal transaction cards, such as metal credit cards, have enjoyed increasing popularity in recent years. Because the body of a metal credit cards is electrically conductive, there are various difficulties in fabricating a metal credit card, especially in the case of contactless cards that incorporate an electrically conductive antenna such as in the shape of a coil. One approach is to laminate a coil onto one side of the metal card. In the case of assembling a plastic transaction card, a layered stack formed of a front layer, back layer and coil may be preassembled, so that the electronic chip may be placed in the preassembled layer stack to be bonded to the other components of the card, using a conductive material. However, this bonding approach is somewhat imprecise, and does not present a robust approach for forming metal contactless cards, due to the possibility of accidental contact of the metal card body with the conductive material.
With respect to the above considerations, the present embodiments are provided.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
In one embodiment, a method of forming a contactless transaction card is provided. The method may include providing a card body, defining a window, and attaching an antenna assembly layer to the card body, where the antenna assembly layer includes an antenna, a set of curable connectors, disposed on a set of end regions of the antenna within the window, and a UV-transparent layer, supporting the antenna. The method may include providing a contactless chip module within the window on a first side of the antenna assembly layer, and directing radiation through the UV-transparent layer, wherein the contactless chip module is electrically connected to the antenna via the curable connectors.
In a further embodiment, a contactless transaction card is provided. The contactless transaction card may include a card body, defining a window, and an antenna assembly layer, disposed subjacent the card body, where the antenna assembly layer includes an antenna, comprising a set of end regions, a UV-transparent layer, supporting the antenna, and a set of curable connectors, disposed on the set of end regions. The set of end regions, and set of curable connectors may be disposed within the window. The contactless transaction card may further include a contactless chip module, disposed within the window, and electrically connected to the set of end regions, via the set of curable connectors.
In another embodiment, a method of forming a contactless transaction card, may include providing a card body that defines a window, and coupling an antenna assembly layer to the card body, where the antenna assembly layer includes an antenna, and a transparent layer, supporting the antenna. The method may include providing a first curable connector on a first end region of the antenna, and a second curable connector on a second end region of the antenna, wherein the first end region, the second end region, the first curable connector and the second curable connector are disposed in the window. The method may also include providing a contactless chip module within the window on a first side of the transparent layer, and directing radiation through the transparent layer from a second side of the transparent layer, opposite the first side. As such, the contactless chip module may be electrically connected to the antenna via the first curable connector and the second curable connector.

Notably, while the antenna 110 may be disposed on the first side 111 of the UV-transparent layer 109, facing the card body 102, an insulator material, meaning an electrical insulator, may be disposed between the antenna 110 and the card body 102 in the outer region of the antenna 110 that lies outside of the window 104. In one example, the antenna 110 may be formed with a metallic core that is covered with an insulating coating. Thus, when assembled, where the card body 102 is bonded to the UV-transparent layer 109, the metallic core of the antenna 110 is still electrically isolated from the card body 102, preventing any electrical shorting between the antenna 110 and card body 102 in embodiments where the card body 102 is formed of a metallic material.
As further illustrated in
To assemble the contactless card 100 or contactless card 150, when the contactless chip module 140 is joined to the antenna assembly layer 106, the contactless chip module 140 may be aligned within the window 104, such as being generally centered within the window 104. Accordingly, when assembled, in the embodiments of
To illustrate further details of the geometry for assembling a contactless card
In particular embodiments, the set of end regions of an antenna, such as end region 122 and end region 124, may be arranged in a serpentine pattern (shown in
In particular, as shown in the detailed view of
To facilitate assembly of the contactless card 100 or contactless card 150, for example, the curable connectors 112 (shown as first curable connector 132 and second curable connector 134 in
Thus, with reference again to
A contactless chip module 140 may then be provided within the window 104 on the first side 111 of antenna assembly layer 106. To affix the contactless chip module in the contactless card, and to electrically connect the contactless chip module to the antenna 110, the contactless chip module 140 may be brought into contact with the curable connectors 112 (or first curable connector 132, second curable connector 134), so the curable connectors 112 may be cured while in contact with the contactless chip module 140. In this manner, after curing, a mechanical bond and an electrical connection is established between the antenna 110 and contactless chip module 140.
Advantageously, the curing of curable connectors 112 may take place by directing short exposures of radiation through the UV-transparent layer 109, while the contactless chip module 140 is in place within the window 104. The curable connectors 112 may be formed of a chemical or set of chemicals that are amenable to curing when exposed to suitable radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation.
To illustrate this process,
Alternatively, the laser source 160 may use just one laser to direct the laser beam 162 in a sequential manner through the UV-transparent layer 109 to a first of the curable connectors 112, and then to a second of the curable connectors 112. In accordance with various non-limiting embodiments, a wavelength of the radiation of the laser beam 162 may be in the ultraviolet range, such as below approximately 400 nm. The wavelength may be chosen to be suitable for a given material of the curable connectors 112. For example, some known epoxies may be suitable for curing using radiation in the range of 320 nm to 380 nm. Accordingly, the wavelength of laser beam 162 may be set in the range of 320 nm to 380 nm for examples where the curable connectors 112 are made from epoxy that is curable in this wavelength range. Of course for epoxies or other curable materials that are suitable for curing in a different wavelength range, the wavelength of laser beam 162 may be in the different range. In accordance with various non-limiting embodiments, the UV-transparent layer 109 may transmit more than 5%, than 10%, more than 20%, more than 50% percent of radiation from the side 115 to the first side 111, for UV radiation in the suitable range for curing the curable connectors 112, such as below 400 nm. Notably, the percent transmission of the UV-transparent layer 109 suitable for curing the curable connectors 112 will be dependent upon the epoxy material or other material used for curable connectors, and the sensitivity to the radiation. In some cases, a lower transmission may be compensated by increasing the amount of exposure time required for complete curing. Also, the power output of the laser beam 162 may be adjusted upwardly to adapt to lower percent transmission.
In addition, referring again to
In embodiments of a conductive adhesive material, such as conductive epoxy, the exposure to the laser beams 162 may result in rapid curing of the curable connectors 112, forming a solid bond between the antenna 110 and the contactless chip module 140, through the curable connectors 112. UV exposure accordingly triggers a polymerization (curing) reaction, promoting adhesion of the contactless chip module 140 with the antenna assembly layer 106.
Because the curable connectors are electrically conductive, an electrically conductive path is thus established between the antenna 110 and contactless chip module 140. The exposure to the laser beams 162 may be of sufficiently short duration, wherein the curable connectors 112 do not unduly deform, or spread out, so the curable connectors 112 do not touch the edges 114 of the window 104 defined by the card body 102.
Referring again to
At block 720 an antenna assembly layer is attached to the card body. The antenna assembly layer may include a thin transparent layer, such as a UV transparent layer, where the transparent layer supports an antenna on a first side of the transparent layer. The antenna assembly layer may further include a set of curable connectors that are disposed over end regions of the antenna. In various embodiments, the set of curable connectors may be two curable connectors that are electrically conductive and are placed over the opposing end regions of the antenna in an uncured state. Suitable material for the set of curable connectors includes a conductive epoxy, or other conductive composite.
At block 730, a contactless chip module is provided within the window on the first side of the antenna assembly layer. In various embodiments, the curable connectors may extend above the antenna. As such, the contactless chip module may be brought into direct contact with the set of curable connectors. The contactless chip module may include two electrical contacts, for example, that are brought into contact with two respective curable connectors.
At block 740, when the contactless chip module is disposed in the window, radiation is directed through the transparent layer, from a second side of the antenna assembly layer, opposite the first side. The radiation may constitute UV radiation that cures the curable connectors, and facilitates adhesion between the curable connectors and the contactless chip module. In particular embodiments, the radiation may be directed as one or more laser beams characterized by an electromagnetic wavelength in the ultraviolet range, that impinges upon each curable connector of the set of curable connectors. At least a portion of the curable connectors may be directly disposed over the UV transparent layer, while another portion is disposed over end regions of the antenna. As such, the curable connectors may be sufficiently exposed to the radiation to cause rapid curing, wherein the contactless chip module becomes electrically connected to the antenna via the set of curable connectors.
At block 810, an antenna assembly layer is provided, including an antenna, a set of curable connectors, disposed on the antenna, and a transparent layer, supporting the antenna. In various embodiments, the set of curable connectors may be two curable connectors that are electrically conductive and are placed over the opposing end regions of the antenna in an uncured state. Suitable material for the set of curable connectors includes a conductive epoxy, or other conductive composite.
At block 820, a contactless chip module is placed on a first side of the antenna assembly layer. The set of curable connectors may extend above the surface of the antenna, so that the contactless chip module is brought into direct contact with the set of curable connectors. The contactless chip module may include two electrical contacts, for example, that are brought into contact with two respective curable connectors.
At block 830, radiation is directed through the transparent layer, from a second side of the antenna assembly layer, wherein the contactless chip module is electrically connected to the antenna via the set of curable connectors. The radiation may constitute UV radiation that cures the curable connectors, and facilitates adhesion between the curable connectors and the contactless chip module. In particular embodiments, the radiation may be directed as one or more laser beams characterized by an electromagnetic wavelength in the ultraviolet range, that impinges upon each curable connector of the set of curable connectors. As such, the curable connectors may experience rapid curing, wherein the contactless chip module becomes electrically connected to the antenna via the set of curable connectors.
At block 840 a card body having a window is attached to the antenna assembly layer, in a manner wherein the contactless chip is disposed within the window and does not contact the card body. In other words, the card body may be placed in alignment with the antenna assembly layer in a manner that positions the window around the contactless chip.
At block 920 an antenna assembly layer is aligned adjacent to the metallic card body, wherein the antenna assembly layer includes an antenna and transparent layer supporting the antenna. The antenna may include a first end region and second end region, such that the aligning of the antenna assembly layer places the first end region and the second end region within the chip window. In some embodiments, the antenna assembly layer may be joined to the card body at this stage.
At block 930 a first curable connector is provided on the first end region of the antenna, and a second curable connector is provided on the second end region of the antenna. The placement of the first curable connector and second curable connector on the first end region and the second end region, respectively, may take place when the first end region and second end region are located within the window of the card body. The first curable connector and the second curable connector may be electrically conductive such as a conductive epoxy, or other conductive composite.
At block 940 a contactless chip module is provided on the first curable connector and the second curable connector, in a manner wherein the contactless chip module does not contact the metallic card body. The contactless chip module may include a semiconductor chip, and two electrical contacts, for example, that are brought into contact with the first curable connector and the second curable connector when the contactless chip module is placed in the window of the metallic card body.
At block 950, a laser (beam) is directed through the transparent layer to the first curable connector and the second curable connector, so as to cure the first curable connector and the second curable connector. In some examples, the transparent layer may be a UV transparent layer, and the laser may be formed of radiation having a wavelength in the UV range. In some non-limiting embodiments, the laser may expose the first curable connector and the second curable connector for a duration of between 0.1 second and several seconds. As such, the contactless chip module may be electrically connected to the antenna, in a manner wherein the first curable connector and the second curable connector do not contact the metallic card body.

For example, various features of the disclosure may be grouped together in one or more aspects, embodiments, or configurations for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. However, it should be understood that various features of the certain aspects, embodiments, or configurations of the disclosure may be combined in alternate aspects, embodiments, or configurations. Moreover, the following claims are hereby incorporated into this Detailed Description by this reference, with each claim standing on its own as a separate embodiment of the present disclosure.
As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and proceeded with the word “a” or “an” should be understood as not excluding plural elements or steps, unless such exclusion is explicitly recited.

Accordingly, the terms “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof are open-ended expressions and can be used interchangeably herein.
The phrases “at least one”, “one or more”, and “and/or”, as used herein, are open-ended expressions that are both conjunctive and disjunctive in operation. For example, each of the expressions “at least one of A, B and C”, “at least one of A, B, or C”, “one or more of A, B, and C”, “one or more of A, B, or C” and “A, B, and/or C” means A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, or A, B and C together.
All directional references (e.g., proximal, distal, upper, lower, upward, downward, left, right, lateral, longitudinal, front, back, top, bottom, above, below, vertical, horizontal, radial, axial, clockwise, and counterclockwise) are just used for identification purposes to aid the reader's understanding of the present disclosure, and do not create limitations, particularly as to the position, orientation, or use of this disclosure.
