Flexible Display Company Aveso Introduces World's First Commercially
Available Electronic Display Inlay for Integration into Plastic Cards
Card manufacturers worldwide now can offer customers the
low-cost display cards
they are demanding without retooling lamination processes and equipment
Paris, November 13, 2007 – Aveso, Inc., the
emerging frontrunner in flexible displays, today announced at CARTES
2007 – the largest trade show for the smart card and identification
industries – the introduction of the world's first commercially
available Electronic Display Inlay for plastic card manufacturers.
The inlay makes it possible to produce electronic display cards using
industry standard hot lamination manufacturing processes and installed
equipment.
The electronic display inlay features Aveso's Primero 6|7™
flexible numeric display module, along with a battery and circuitry,
embedded in a durable plastic structure roughly one-half the thickness
of a standard credit card. Inlays are available in both standard sheet
formats and customized sheet layouts for cost-effective process development
and full display card qualification.
"I've been working with card manufacturers for years," said
Grahame Lucas, Aveso's vice president of sales and industry veteran.
"They're eager to move on meeting the demand from issuers for
reliable display cards, but have been waiting for a viable way to
produce them. This inlay makes it painless to integrate displays into
their existing card production processes and enables them to offer
a new, high-demand product line."
The electronic display inlay was developed with a focus on ease of
implementation and compatibility with existing industry infrastructure.
Card manufacturers can convert the inlay into ISO 7810-compliant cards
using the same collation, hot lamination and die-cutting equipment
used to manufacture over 95 percent of plastic cards produced today.
Issuers will now be able to procure regionally produced display cards
from their current, trusted card manufacturing vendors.
Electronic display cards represent a new generation of value-added
plastic card products following recent innovations in the industry,
including microprocessor-based smart cards and contactless card products.
One-Time Password (OTP) cards for secure online banking and e-commerce
transactions are an early application for display cards. The convenient
card form factor is expected to quickly displace bulky tokens for
generating secure passwords. Future applications include payment and
prepaid cards that provide consumers with immediate access to available-credit
and remaining-balance information.
