Using the same 3D optical data storage technology as the fluorescent multilayer disc, the fluorescent multilayer card was a memory device proposed by Consallation3D. It consisted of a card containing a square shaped clear part with multiple layers each containing a different fluorescent material capable of emitting light at a different wavelength from the other layers. By this approach, the device could contain several layers, each with individually addressable data. It was suggested that a card with the data area roughly 25 mm (one inch) wide could be able to hold 10 GB of data.
Famous quotes containing the word card:
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
