New smart card with NanoChromics display said to increase functionality

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

GSI Technologies and NTERA have developed a card based on NTERAS’s NanoChromics display technology that was developed by GSI Technologies.

The result is the first hot-laminated display card modules. The display is printed onto the same flexible substrate as the microcontroller and features a white background. The color changing NTERA NCD displays address the market need for security solutions, brand protection and consumer interaction with the GSI smart card.

Applications to be included on the card include two-factor authentication solutions like one-time-passcodes, financial credit/debit cards, transportation cards and other stored value cards. [end]
