, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a printed label for tamper evident applications. More particularly, the present invention relates to an integration of several fully or partially printed electronic devices on a substrate to form a fully functional printed electronic tamper evident label.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Tampering involves the deliberate altering or adulteration of information, a product, a package or system and as it is known that security is important. For this reason, tamper evident labels and general security labels are used to deter counterfeiting. These are also used to confirm if a product is a genuine brand. Tamper evident security labels come in all shapes and sizes. Holograms, color change inks, micro text, consecutive numbers and bar codes are just a few variations to mention including destructible labels. They can be made from paper or film materials. The simplest form of tamper proofing is done with tooling or putting cuts in certain places so once the label is applied to a surface and someone tries to remove it, the label is removed, the label will tear and warranty is void. The tamper evident labels are designed by cutting edge manufacturers. They separate into layers when removed and add consecutive numbered barcodes to aid in the control of each part. Tamper evident labels are extremely important in the packaging and labeling industry, simply because it is vital to know that the product has not been altered since it left the manufacturer.
Electronic security systems are also well known for their use in detection and prevention of theft or unauthorized access of goods. Such security systems use labels or security tags that are secured to the article to be protected. Security tags can take many different sizes, shapes and forms depending on the type of security system and are used when a security tag (attached to a protected item) passes through a security area or surveillance area, or passes through or near a security checkpoint or monitoring station.
US7095324B2 discloses a tamper evident smart label with an RFID or RF transponder. The label comprising of a tamper evident label material with an adhesive on a back side, an RFID transponder adhered to said adhesive and hologram on the label material. The use of tamper evident label materials prevents removal, transferal, replacement and alteration of the smart label without noticeable evidence of tampering. The main drawback of the invention is that the tamper evident label material used in making the smart label is costly.
US6670008B1 discloses a tamper-evident label that includes a substrate. On the substrate is deposited more than one adhesive. Each adhesive is sensitive to a different condition. The adhesives are deposited throughout the substrate in user-definable patterns. A release layer is placed on the adhesives for ease of transport and application, but is removed prior to affixation of the tamper-evident label. The main drawback of the invention is that adhesive due to its sensitive nature needs utmost care while depositing on the substrate and usage of such adhesive during the preparation of label limits the life of such labels.
US20060195705A1 discloses a tape seal includes electronic circuitry to detect tamper- and manipulation events relating to sealed items in various embodiments. The seal is designed in such a way that any attempt to break or remove the seal results in a change of the complex impedance. An electronic module in connection with the seal quantifies complex impedance and when a change is detected above a programmed threshold, this is treated as a tamper event. In one embodiment, the inclusions of reference impedances are applied to allow a more precise detection of a tamper event and allow for automatic calibration of natural variations of the complex impedance. The main drawback of the invention is that the seal is dependent on complex impedance which limits the use of the tap seal as sometimes the change in complex impedance due to external conditions may also indicate tampering.
JP3940187B2 discloses the security tag for use with an electronic security system that detects the removal of an article without permission, and in particular to a disabling resonant tag. The main drawback of the invention is that here the tampering is only dependent on the resonant circuit embedded on the substrate.
EP1562829B1 discloses an electronic tampering detection system applied to a blank which can be formed into a package through the use of closure tabs which are coated with an electrically conductive adhesive. An electronic chip or CPU is applied to the blank and electrically conductive traces are printed or otherwise formed on the blank to connect the CPU to first pair of the closure tabs to form an electric circuit. Other traces on the blank connect the first pair of closure tabs to the other closure tabs to form an enlarged circuit. The main drawback of the present invention is the use of external electronic chips that multiplies the cost of manufacture of the labels.
Further, in the state of the art, the electronic tamper evident labels assemble different electronic chips or circuitry, which is prone to installation errors and alignment errors.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a tamper evident label which is free of errors related to assembly and manufacture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will now be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiment set forth herein. Rather, the embodiment is provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
The present invention relates to a label integrating multiple printed electronics devices such as but not limited to Schottky diode, capacitor, NFC antenna and electrochromic display on a single substrate for tamper evident applications. The electronic devices are made as inks to form a plurality of layer assemblies on a single substrate to complete the structure of a tamper evident label.
The NFC antenna, capacitor and resistor forms a RLC circuit that deals with the wireless mutual inductance process. The formula illustrates the Q-factor of RLC circuit as:

where:
Qf: Q factor of RLC circuit
R: Resistance of the antenna corresponds to the sheet resistance, volume resistivity and the deposition thickness of dry silver nano-particle ink on substrate in ohm
L: Inductance of the antenna in Henry
C: Capacitance of the antenna in Farad
Q factor is a crucial parameter which determines the read range of mutual inductance between primary and secondary antennas. If the resistance of the antenna increases, the read range also increases.
The resonating frequency of RLC circuit depends on capacitor and inductor for the efficient mutual inductance to occur. The formulae illustrated:
R_(f=1/(?2?LC))

where:
Rf : resonating frequency of the antenna in Hertz (Hz)
L: inductance of the antenna in Henry
C: capacitance of the antenna in Farad
Now referring to Fig. 1, the present invention provides a general architecture of a NFC antenna 12 designed to resonate at 13.56 MHz. The NFC antenna 12 comprises of a transparent substrate 1 preferably made of PET and a layer of silver nano particle ink 2 screen printed on said substrate to form the architecture of NFC antenna 12. The electronic device having a built-in sending antenna mutually inducts with the printed receiving antenna (NFC) that resonates at 13.56 MHz with an error rate of 1 MHz. The negative or positive shift of resonating frequency reduces mutual power transfer and effect read range.
The near field communication (NFC) antenna is an authenticable device that is a subset of radio frequency of identification (RFID) and is classified based on its frequency range namely low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) with a frequency range of 30 KHz to 300 KHz, 3 MHz to 30 MHz, 300 MHz to 3 GHz respectively. The NFC antenna is a high frequency resonating antenna with the frequency of 13.56 MHz and is fabricated with different techniques such as but not limited to etching and thin film depositions. The etching techniques involve subtractive process. The thin film deposition is chosen to reduce the cost and ease of processing. The electrode metal also plays an important role in the fabrication of the NFC antenna. The silver nano-particle ink is used for the fabrication of the antenna.
The NFC antenna works on the basic principle of mutual induction. The electronic device having an inbuilt sending antenna acts as the primary antenna and the NFC antenna in the present invention acts as the secondary antenna. The antenna structure has been simulated and designed considering formulae:

where:
Lt: Total inductance of the antenna in Henry
L0: Sum of inductances of all straight segments in Henry
SM = M+-M-
M+: Sum of positive mutual inductances
M-: Sum of negative inductances
Further, inductance L of each segment is calculated using equation:

where:
L: Inductance of each straight segments
l: Length of each straight segments
w: width of each straight segments
t: thickness of each straight segments
Thickness of the printed layer is characterized by profilometer and the as the thickness of the printed layer increases the resistance of the antenna decreases.

where:
l: average length of each straight segments that mutually interact in a secondary antenna
d: distance between two-line segments
Referring to Fig. 2, the present invention provides a general architecture of a capacitor 13 for an efficient optimization of resonating frequency. The capacitor 13 has MIM (metal insulator metal) structure. The insulator 3 is sandwiched between the metals (4a, 4b). The insulator includes but not limited to silver/barium titanate/silver structure due to its excellent or high dielectric constant. The metal includes but not limited to electrode silver nano-particle ink due to its high conductivity, ease of processing and to reduce the number of layers of deposition in tags.
The capacitance of a capacitor was simulated and design by the trailing capacitor formulae:
C=e?e?A/d
where:
K or eo is the Dielectric constant of the dielectric
d is the Deposition thickness of dielectric
C is the Capacitance of the capacitor
A is the area of the capacitor in m2
er is the permittivity of free space

Now referring to Fig. 3, the present invention provides the architecture of Electrochromic display 15. The electrochromic materials have a property of changing their color reversible on exposure to different stimuli. These materials are capable of changing color due to oxidation and a reduction reaction which in-turn is stimulated by electricity (low current and voltage). The overall oxidation and reduction of an electrochromic material is perceived by stimulating through electricity. The electrochromic material Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly (styrene sulfonate) (abbreviated as PEDOT PSS) is colorless in the oxidized/neutral state when stimulated/reduced by electricity changes color to dark blue/navy blue. The entire process is reversible number of times and reversibility is dependent on the source power. The stimuli are of different types like pH, light, heat or electricity. To foresee electrochromic reversibly the material is embedded/sandwiched/fabricated into device with suitable architecture/structure.
The overall redox reaction leading to change in color of electrochromic material PEDOT PSS with burst of electric charges can be summarized according to the following equation:
PEDOT PSS+ + e- ? PEDOT PSS
(Colorless) (Blue color)
Based on the solubility and state of material electrochromic is classified into three types. Type III electrochromism is more commonly found as it involves electrochromic material in solid and thin film state. The device architecture to perceive electrochromic display 15 by printing is shown in the Fig. 2. The electrochromic material 5 is coupled to ionic storage layer (dielectric) and solid/liquid electrolyte 7. These layers are sandwiched between two electrodes 8 (one of the two electrodes is transparent). The advantage of using PEDOT PSS as electrochromic material is that it itself serve as a transparent conductive electrode. The silver is being used as a second rear electrode 8. The reversible electrochromism or redox reaction of PEDOT PSS is initiated by charging and discharging the device with an applied external potential typically in the range of 1.0 - 3.0 V.
Now referring to Fig. 4, the present invention provides the architecture of Schottky diode 14. A Schottky barrier diode is also known as Schottky or hot carrier diode 14 is a metal semiconductor junction formed by metal in contact with a moderately doped n type or p-type semiconductor material. The Schottky barriers act as rectifiers and are suitable for high-speed applications due to their high switching speed. It is a unilateral device conducting currents in one direction and restricting in the other. A Schottky junction is formed if the metal work function is larger than the n-type semiconductor band gap for a p-type semiconductor.
The core idea and requirement of Schottky diode pertaining to the tamper evident label is its rectification behavior. The Electrochromic display operates at direct current (DC) and the output of NFC antenna is alternating current (AC) and there is a certain need of diode so that the output signal of NFC Antenna gets half-wave rectified. The architecture involves three terminal devices having n-type semiconductor 9, a Schottky contact 10 and a ohmic contact 11 fabricated from the optimized inks. The n-type semiconductor 9 is sandwiched between the Schottky contact 10 and the ohmic contact 11. The n-type semiconductor includes but not limited to zinc oxide (ZnO). The Schottky contact and ohmic contacts are chosen considering the band gap of zinc oxide. The Schottky contact work-function is higher than the band gap of zinc oxide. Pedot-Pss and Silver are such materials having work function of 4.6 and 5.1 eV (electron Volts) respectively considerable and higher to band gap of zinc oxide that is 3.7 eV. The Schottky contacts include but not limited to silver nano-particle ink and the ohmic contact includes but not limited to carbon ink.
Now referring to Fig. 5, the present invention shows the device 100 having integration of various electronic devices printed on a single substrate 1. The device 100 comprises of a first layer assembly 12 acting as a receiving antenna, a second layer assembly 13 acting as a capacitor connected to the first layer assembly 12, a third layer assembly 14 acting as a Schottky diode connected to the second layer assembly 13, a fourth layer assembly 15 acting as a Electrochromic display connected to the third layer assembly 14, an optional tamper adhesive layer and said layers assembly (12, 13, 14, 15) are fused together and encapsulated to form a structure of said label.
Now referring to Fig. 6, the present invention shows the block diagram of integration of various electronic devices printed on a single substrate that includes polyethene terephthalate. The electronic devices are printed in the form of layer assemblies and made as inks. The entire device architecture is done by screen printing method based on a flexible and transparent PET substrate to form a tamper evident label. The transparency of the substrate is more than 95%. All the layer assemblies are screen printed in polyester based screen mesh in a semi-automatic machine. All other layer assemblies above the PET substrate are made as inks and printed on the substrate one after the other. The overall printing goes on the PET substrate which is fixed on stable background above which ink of the individual layer assembly is printed through a screen of desired mesh (optimized according to required ink deposition and viscosity). After printing each layer assembly, the deposited layer assembly is dried, and then over the prior deposited surface subsequent layer assembly is printed till the end. All printed layer assemblies are subsequently annealed/cured after each printing step before proceeding with next one.
All the layer assemblies are designed in coral-draw software with precision error rate less than 1 millimeter. To differentiate between printing and non- printed area, the chromaline film is exposed on to screen mesh with UV exposure with the wavelength of 350 nm. Once all the layer assemblies are printed, encapsulation layer is printed to avoid the performance degradation. The drying is done at 80-130°C for time of 15-20 mins. The drying parameters are optimized for the present printing process and remain same for different inks. In the drying process, it is observed that vehicle/carrier fluid used for making the ink formulation evaporates.
An ink formulation is normally made by dispersing functional material in a vehicle/carrier fluid. Each of functional material to be deposited on the PET surface one after the other needs to be dispersed in a suitable vehicle for it qualify to be a screen printable ink. The selection of the proper vehicle (or a combination of vehicle) is fully important, since it is the vehicle that largely determines the working qualities of an ink and differentiates one type of ink from the other. The screen printable ink formulation for PEDOT PSS, silver nanoparticle paste, carbon conductive layer, BaTiO3 and the ink formulation are made for the semiconductor and electrolyte layer.
When the NFC based Smartphone is in proximity with the antenna, the power is transferred from smart phone to printed NFC antenna activating the printed Electrochromic display. An adhesive is applied on the tamper evident tags so if there is a peel or tamper, antenna is broken that doesn’t activate electrochromic display indicating tamper or peel. Table 1 provides the comprehensive information of all the materials used for making the tamper evident label.
