Abstract
An improved IC card construction eliminates the need for a frame thereby increasing the space available within the IC card and the available substrate or PCB surface area making possible the use of additional integrated circuits or other electronic components. The frameless IC card of the invention includes a housing comprising top and bottom covers having interconnected longitudinal side margins providing a rigid IC card housing structure.
