Abstract

An RFID tag unit is constituted of a seal member part, a substrate material part layered on the seal member part, and a print member part layered on the substrate material part. An RFID tag that comprises an LSI chip, an antenna and an impedance adjustment part is formed on the surface of the substrate material part. Of the seal member part and substrate material part, a part positioned under the impedance adjustment part is cut off, and an impedance adjustment part cutoff part is equipped in the cutoff area. Cutting the impedance adjustment part cutoff part off the RFID tag unit cuts the impedance adjustment part, which has been connected to the antenna, from the RFID tag.

Claims (34)

1. A metal suitable radio frequency identification (RFID) tag device, comprising:

a metal sheet part;

an RFID tag unit formed on the metal sheet part; and

a metal on the back of the metal sheet part,

wherein the RFID tag unit comprises:

a seal material part;

a substrate material part; and

a printable material part,

wherein the substrate material part comprises an LSI chip, an antenna and an impedance adjustment part connected to the antenna, and

the impedance adjustment part includes an impedance adjustment part cutoff part which allows a cutting out of the impedance adjustment part.

2. The RFID tag device according to claim 1 , wherein

said impedance adjustment part cutoff part is equipped in the substrate material part and seal material part.

3. The RFID tag device according to claim 2 , wherein a perforation is formed on said impedance adjustment part cutoff part.

4. The RFID tag device according to claim 2 , wherein said impedance adjustment part cutoff part comprises a seal part equipped under said impedance adjustment part.

5. The RFID tag device according to claim 4 , wherein said impedance adjustment part is equipped in an area cut off of the substrate material part.

6. The RFID tag device according to claim 5 , wherein

said seal material part comprises

a sub-seal member equipped under said impedance adjustment part, and

a main seal member equipped under the sub-seal member and coming into contact with said sub-seal member.

7. The RFID tag device according to claim 6 , wherein

said sub-seal member comes into contact with the substrate material part.

8. The RFID tag device according to claim 6 , wherein

a first adhesive member is formed in a layer in which said sub-seal member is formed.

9. The RFID tag device according to claim 8 , wherein

said sub-seal member is formed so as not to contact with said first adhesive member,

said main seal is formed so as to contact with the first adhesive member, and

a second adhesive member is formed between the sub-seal member and the substrate material part.

10. The RFID tag device according to claim 5 , wherein a gap is provided between said impedance adjustment part and the substrate material part in said cutoff area.

11. The RFID tag device according to claim 6 , wherein said impedance adjustment part is formed on said sub-seal.

12. The RFID tag device according to claim 11 , wherein said impedance adjustment part is formed on said sub-seal by printing.

13. The RFID tag device according to claim 11 , wherein said impedance adjustment part is formed on said sub-seal by etching.

14. A metal-suitable radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, comprising:

an RFID tag device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the metal sheet part comprises a spacer part and a metal reflection part and which is formed on the back of the RFID tag unit.
