Future credit card integrated LED display can store music image

CNET News International reported in May 17th in the not too distant future, our credit card will be equipped with display, even in the music and image storage.

AgiLight CEO Vincent said the chip size continues to shrink, coupled with better packaging technology, credit card companies will be able to integrate more complex semiconductor products in credit cards and other products.

AgiLight has developed a technology to integrate LED into thin films. For example, the AgiLight LED can be integrated in a mirror or glass, showing news headlines or stock quotes. AgiLight NanoFlex packaging technology can also be applied to other types of chips.

Light emitting NanoFlex strips can be close to a piece of paper in thickness and softness. When it is closed, it is like an eraser. 'we hope to use this technology for credit cards by the end of the year,' Mr. Vincent said.

What is the use of integrating LED screens on credit cards? Can display dynamic security code, thereby reducing some form of credit card fraud. Thieves need to get a credit card, not just a credit card number and information to complete the transaction.

AgiLight is also trying to make its LED packaging technology "landing" phone. Because the chemicals in the cold cathode ray tubes are thought to be harmful to the environment, European regulators have decided to ban the use of cold cathode ray tubes in mobile phones, forcing mobile phone manufacturers to look for alternative technologies.

In the past few years, global warming, rising electricity costs, manufacturing costs decline, opened the door to the market for LED. Compared with the traditional incandescent lamp, LED energy consumption is lower. Vincent said, LED is currently the most efficient light source.
