Credit cards get colour screens
28th October 2010
Toppan Printing has demonstrated a credit card with a colour screen and keypad, claiming that you don’t need a mobile phone to manage mobile commerce.
The card, which at 3.9mm thick squeezes into the definition of such, has a 2.2-inch colour screen with a 320×240 resolution, but most importantly Toppan Printing reckons it will cost under $25 when production ramps up next year. As highlighted by NFC World: a card like this makes proximity payments viable without relying on a mobile telephone.
