Core Requirements for Smart Card Phosphors
Critical technical challenges for smart card anti-counterfeiting applications
Extremely High Security
Anti-counterfeiting materials must have difficult-to-replicate core characteristics, eliminating forgery risks at the source.
Convenient Identification
Requires dedicated detection equipment for rapid verification, suitable for batch card issuance inspection.
Process Compatibility
Must perfectly adapt to mainstream card manufacturing processes including printing, coating, lamination.
Long-Term Stability
Must withstand daily use friction, temperature changes, with excellent weather and chemical resistance.
Batch Consistency
Core parameters with minimal batch-to-batch variation ensuring uniform effect in large-scale production.
Smart Card Anti-Counterfeiting Phosphor Products
Professional upconversion phosphor solutions for card security
Core Product: LPO
High-security upconversion anti-counterfeiting phosphor
| Model | Emission | Peak λ | Host Material | D50 | Emission Type | Powder Color | Shelf Life |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LPO | Deep Red | 669nm | Phosphate | 8μm | Upconversion | Slight Pink | 12 months |
| Key Advantages | Recommended Applications |
|---|---|
| Difficult to replicate, high concealment, easy identification, excellent stability | Bank cards, ID cards, access control systems, membership programs |
980nm NIR Excitation → 669nm Deep Red Emission
LPO uses high-purity phosphate host with stable chemical properties, excellent weather resistance, temperature tolerance, and chemical resistance, capable of withstanding high-temperature environments in smart card lamination processes. The 8μm median particle size design ensures excellent dispersibility and printing compatibility while maintaining sufficient luminescence intensity.
LPO is compatible with various card-making ink systems, achieving fine anti-counterfeiting patterns with line width ≤0.1mm in screen printing processes. After simulated daily use environment testing (5000 friction cycles, temperature-humidity cycling -20℃~60℃/85%RH 1000 times), luminescence intensity decay is ≤3%. With dedicated detection equipment, detection speed is <1 second.
Upconversion vs Traditional Anti-Counterfeiting
Comprehensive comparison of security materials
| Characteristics | Smart Card Upconversion Phosphor (LPO) | Traditional Anti-Counterfeiting Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Security Level | Extremely high (complex synthesis, difficult to replicate) | Average (materials easily available) |
| Concealment | Excellent (slight pink under natural light) | Poor (features easily identified) |
| Identification Convenience | Fast (<1 second detection) | Complex (requires professionals) |
| Process Compatibility | Strong (fits printing, coating, lamination) | Limited (some incompatible with high-temp) |
| Long-Term Stability | Excellent (friction, temperature-humidity resistant) | Average (prone to wear) |
Manufacturing Process Compatibility
Seamless integration with card production lines
| Process Type | Compatibility | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Screen Printing | ★★★★★ | Ultra-fine particle size, suitable for fine patterns, strong ink adhesion |
| Ink Compounding | ★★★★★ | Easy dispersion in water-based, oil-based, UV inks |
| Coating Process | ★★★★★ | Film coating, dip coating applicable, good uniformity |
| Plastic Injection | ★★★☆☆ | Temperature control ≤200℃ required, recommend pre-testing |
