To prevent wear of bar codes 501, 502, 503 and 511 using a conductive material, and provide a remote control device 170 that uses such bar codes.

The bar code label 501, 502, 503 and 511 comprise bar code information carriers 10, 15 and first nonconductive protection members 20, 22. The bar code information carriers 10, 15 are conductive. The first nonconductive protection members 20, 22 protect the bar code information carriers 10, 15. Bar code information carried by the bar code information carriers 10, 15 is read via dielectric constants of the bar code information carriers 10, 15.
