IC card
First Claim
1. An IC card comprising an IC module embedded in an IC module substrate built in a card substrate, said IC module comprising an IC chip, a circuit substrate and a reinforcing member, said reinforcing member comprising at least a part of the side portion of said IC module substrate extended in the outer circumferential direction, wherein said reinforcing member is formed in a shape so that it has a greater area toward the portion of the IC card with a greater flex coefficient.

Abstract
The IC card of the present invention comprises an IC card comprising an IC module embedded in a card substrate, said IC card having a reinforcing sheet layer laid in the planar direction of the card so as to cover at least the peripheral portion of the boundary between the card substrate and the IC module, and/or has a reinforcing member comprising at least a part of the side portion of said IC module extended in the outer circumferential direction, and it is excellent in mechanical strength and flexibility against bending of card.
