The antenna device 20 and the electromagnetic film 10 are connected by bonding and connecting one surface of the substrate 22 to the connection layer 400 of the electromagnetic film 10.

In some embodiments, the second surface of the carrier layer 100 is further provided with a second protrusion structure 500 protruding into the connection layer 400, so as to improve the connection reliability between the carrier layer and the connection layer 400 and prevent the connection layer 400 and the carrier layer from peeling off. Illustratively, the second bump structure 500 is made of a conductive material, so that during the use of the electromagnetic film, the interference charges accumulated in the carrier layer are led out, and thus the interference source caused by the accumulation of the interference charges is avoided.

By connecting the electromagnetic film 10 to the antenna device 20, after the electromagnetic wave signal transmitted by the antenna line 21 passes through the electromagnetic film 10, the electromagnetic wave is diffused towards two sides in the X direction, so that the function of diffusing the electromagnetic wave is realized, and the space range of the electromagnetic wave transmission is enlarged; or in the X direction, the electromagnetic wave is gathered towards the middle or one side, and the directional propagation of the electromagnetic wave is realized.
