Abstract

An RFID-enabled hologram laser tag is disclosed, which is primarily comprised of: a hologram substrate; and a radio frequency identification (RFID) module, including an RFID chip; wherein the RFID module is configured into the hologram substrate so as to use a conducting layer of the substrate as an antenna of the RFID module. In a preferred embodiment, the RFID chip can be modularized with another conductive substrate so as to form an interface module, with which the coupling of the hologram substrate with the RFID chip is facilitated. Operationally, as the RFID-enabled hologram laser tag is attached to an object, the position and other relating information of the object can be identified and acquired through the RF signals of the RFID chip so that the RDIF-enabled hologram laser tag, not only is decorative, but also can use the RFID technology to automatically tracking and identification the object attached thereby.
