Abstract
A foldable circuit board that includes OLED display technology is provided. Apparatus may include embedded card reading technology (e.g., EMV, magnetic stripe, QR-Reader Technology) into a foldable OLEO-based mobile device. The mobile device may fold, to create a channel for swiping a purchasing instrument. Such a device may provide portable card reading technology and an ability to seamlessly transmit the captured information to a remote server/network for authorization. Such devices may avoid use of an external plug-in device to capture payment instrument information. Also, such devices may revive use of magnetically encoded information which is typically less-expensive-to-manufacture and provides a faster 'swipe' time to read the magnetically encoded information as compared to other technology such as EMV chips.
