Eco Factor: E-passport eliminates paper use.
German passport manufacturer Bundesdruckerei has unveiled what is being claimed to be the world’s first e-passport. The passport was unveiled at CeBIT 2010 and features an AMOLED display. The passport doesn’t even require a battery to function, as it is powered by radio frequency technology.
The passport’s display is turned on, showing a 360-degree view of the holder whenever the card moves to an RF power source. The design is flexible enough not to break even if kept in your pocket.
