Abstract

Provided are transaction cards including an infinity mirror. In some approaches, a transaction card may include a body comprising a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer, and a light source between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer.

Claims (26)

1. A transaction card, comprising:

a body comprising a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer, wherein the first reflective layer is a two-way mirror, a reflective surface of the two-way mirror facing the second reflective layer, wherein the second reflective layer is a one-way mirror; and

a light source between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer.

2. The transaction card of claim 1 , further comprising a backing layer connected to the second reflective layer.

3. The transaction card of claim 1 , wherein the first reflective layer has a first inner surface opposite a first outer surface, wherein the second reflective layer has second inner surface opposite a second outer surface, and wherein a light output from the light source is reflected between the first inner surface and the second inner surface.

4. The transaction card of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes.

5. The transaction card of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a luminescent material.

6. The transaction card of claim 5 , wherein the luminescent material is a luminescent paint.

7. The transaction card of claim 1 , wherein the light source extends around a perimeter of the body.

8. The transaction card of claim 1 , wherein an identification chip is coupled to the first reflective layer.

9. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the identification chip is an EMV chip.

10. A transaction card, comprising:

a body comprising a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer, wherein the first reflective layer is a two-way mirror, a reflective surface of the two-way mirror facing the second reflective layer, wherein the second reflective layer is a one-way mirror; and

a light source between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer, wherein the light source extends around a perimeter of the body.

11. The transaction card of claim 10 , further comprising a backing layer connected to the second reflective layer.

12. The transaction card of claim 10 , wherein the first reflective layer has a first inner surface opposite a first outer surface, wherein the second reflective layer has second inner surface opposite a second outer surface, and wherein a light output from the light source is reflected between the first inner surface and the second inner surface.

13. The transaction card of claim 10 , wherein the light source comprises at least one of a plurality of light emitting diodes or a luminescent material.

14. The transaction card of claim 10 , wherein an identification chip is embedded within an opening in the first reflective layer.

15. A transaction card, comprising:

a body comprising a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer, wherein an identification chip is coupled to the first reflective layer, wherein the first reflective layer is a two-way mirror, a reflective surface of the two-way mirror facing the second reflective layer, wherein the second reflective layer is a one-way mirror; and

a light source between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer, wherein the light source extends around a perimeter of the body.

16. The transaction card of claim 9 , wherein the two-way mirror has a first inner surface opposite a first outer surface, wherein the one-way mirror has a second inner surface opposite a second outer surface, and wherein a light output from the light source is reflected between the first inner surface and the second inner surface.

17. The transaction card of claim 15 , wherein the light source comprises at least one of a plurality of light emitting diodes or a luminescent material.

18. The transaction card of claim 17 , wherein the luminescent material is a luminescent paint.

19. The transaction card of claim 15 , wherein an identification chip is coupled to the first reflective layer.

20. The transaction card of claim 19 , wherein the identification chip is an EMV chip.
