Dual-interface smartcard with lighting element

A pre-laminated structure for a smartcard comprising:

• An electronic carrier which comprises:
• An antenna substrate,
• A first wire antenna configured to provide energy to a lighting element for a smartcard, and
• A second wire antenna configured to provide energy to an electronic module for contactless data transfer for a smartcard,
• wherein said first antenna and said second antenna are formed on opposite sides of said antenna substrate, and
• wherein said first wire antenna does not provide energy to said electronic module and said second wire antenna does not provide energy to said lighting element;
• and
• A lighting device for a smartcard which comprises:
• A lighting element configured for illuminating a portion of said smartcard;
• and
• A single diode suitable for providing energy to said lighting element when connected to an energy harvesting antenna
• wherein said first antenna of said electronic carrier is configured to provide energy to said lighting element of said lighting device.
