Abstract

An IC module having a display device includes an IC module, a power supply device and at least a display panel. The IC module has a substrate, at least an IC chip and a package. The power supply device has a magnetic block, a circuit board, a housing and a coil. At least a capacitor is mounted on the circuit board. Besides, the display panel is mounted on an outer surface of the housing. Given the aforementioned components, when those components are shaken back and forth, the magnetic block is moved back and forth in the coil to make the coil generate power. The generated power is further stored in the capacitor of the circuit board. As such, after acquiring power, the display panel displays the information in association with the IC module.
