tracks 1 and 2 combined and in the same approximate location as
those tracks but on the front of the card. The Coercivity level is

K Panel An area of a multicolored Ribbon (e.g., YMCK) that contains black
resin for transfer to the card surface. Also used in reference to the
application of preference to items printed on the card - those

a horizontal orientation.
LCD (Liquid Crystal

A device that contains a liquid crystal between two pieces of
polarized film through which reflected or ambient light can pass.
When a current is applied, the liquid's polarity changes and blocks
the passage of the light resulting in an opaque area of the display.
The areas are arrayed to form characters.
LED (Light Emitting
