Abstract

An RFID medium including: a base material, a thermosensitive color-developing layer formed on a front surface of the base material and developed a color by heat, an antenna formed on a rear surface of the base material, and an IC chip connected to the antenna, in which the antenna and the IC chip are connected to each other by a conductive material that is cured by an ultraviolet ray.

Claims (31)

1 . An RFID medium, comprising:

a base material,

a thermosensitive color-developing layer formed on a front surface of the base material and developed a color by heat,

an antenna formed on a rear surface of the base material, and

an IC chip connected to the antenna, wherein

the antenna and the IC chip are connected to each other by a conductive material that is cured by ultraviolet light.

2 . The RFID medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the base material is paper.

3 . The RFID medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the base material is a resin sheet.

4 . The RFID medium according to claim 1 , wherein

a release layer is formed on a front surface of the thermosensitive color-developing layer.

5 . The RFID medium according to claim 4 , wherein

an adhesive portion for attachment to an adherend is formed on the rear surface of the base material.

6 . The RFID medium according to claim 5 , wherein

the adhesive portion is a tack material having adhesive layers on both surfaces thereof.

7 . The RFID medium according to claim 1 , wherein

a rear surface-side base material is laminated on the rear surface of the base material.

8 . An RFID medium continuous body comprising a plurality of the RFID media according to claim 1 , wherein

respective RFID media are connected to each other on a separation portion.

9 . The RFID medium continuous body according to claim 8 , wherein

at least one side edge portion of the RFID medium continuous body is formed with a notch portion cut inward in a width direction of the RFID medium continuous body at an interval corresponding to a pitch of the RFID medium.

10 . The RFID medium continuous body according to claim 9 , wherein

the notch portion is formed at a position corresponding to the separation portion.

11 . The RFID medium continuous body according to claim 8 , wherein

a region including the IC chip is cut out in some of the RFID media.

12 . The RFID medium continuous body according to claim 8 , wherein

the separation portion is a perforation formed along the width direction of the RFID medium continuous body.

13 . The RFID medium continuous body according to claim 8 , wherein

an adhesive portion for attachment to an adherend is formed on the rear surface of the base material, and

the RFID medium continuous body further comprises a non-adhesive portion in a predetermined region including the separation portion.
