Abstract:
A transaction card is described that includes a first print layer, a second print layer, an antenna inlay layer, and a light-emitting element. At least one of the first print layer and the second print layer has a transparent portion through which light transmits. The antenna inlay layer has a loop antenna disposed thereon. The light-emitting element has a two-dimensional form factor and is positioned between the antenna inlay layer and one of the first print layer and the second print layer. The transaction card includes wireless power receiver circuitry that receives a wireless signal via the loop antenna and induces a voltage across terminals of the light-emitting element, causing the light-emitting element to illuminate and emit light through the transparent portion.
