Regards, Gregory Hicks http://www.physorg.com/news1917.html Chip-Embedded Paper for Wireless Transmission November 10, 2004 Japanese company Oji Paper announced November 8 that it has jointly developed technology to embed semiconductor chips in paper during papermaking processes. This invention was co-developed with two other companies FEC Group and Toppan Forms. According to the JCN network, the embedded chip is 0.5x0.5mm and comes with a built-in antenna for wireless transmission at frequencies of between 13.56MHz to 2.45GHz. This breakthrough technology enables mass production of chip-embedded paper. The new chip-embedded paper gets a bit thicker than regular paper, but its printable property is comparable to regular paper. The new technology is expected to be applied in lots of paper products: personal checks, paper bills, gift certificates, etc. The paper is available in sheets and rolls. Oji demonstrates the technology at Smart Labels Asia 2004 held in Tokyo from November 9 to 11. About Oji Paper: Major Business Lines of Oji Paper Co.,Ltd: Production, conversion/processing and sales of printing, writing and related papers; packaging and wrapping papers; carbonless papers; household products; containerboard and boxboard.
