Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shield against electromagnetic waves (, hereinafter referred to as a electromagnetic shield).
  • Display devices have been known to be utilized with a display screen filter, i.e. a front panel, comprising an electromagnetic shield which can shield electromagnetic wave leakage which radiates from the devices.
  • the plasma display panel (,hereinafter referred to as PDP,) has been developed to obtain a relatively large and flat display.
  • PDP generates a comparably larger electromagnetic wave leakage than the prior cathode ray tube display (, hereinafter referred to as CRT,) and therefore, it is desirable to develop a display screen filter that shields electromagnetic waves more efficiently, especially for PDP.
  • electromagnetic shields which can be used for a front panel for a display device have been known, such as a shield comprising a transparent substrate and an electroconductive lattice pattern thereon and a shield comprising a transparent substrate and an electroconductive layer thereon.
  • the decrease in size of openings in the electroconductive lattice pattern, the increase in line width of the lattice(s), or the increase in thickness of the electroconductive layer is necessary in order to effectively shield the electromagnetic waves by utilizing these electromagnetic shields for the front panel for PDP. Consequently, the visible light transmittance of these electromagnetic shields tends to be low.
  • An electromagnetic shield wherein the electroconductive lattice pattern and an electroconductive layer are arranged on a transparent substrate has also been known (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 57-154898; corresponding to United States Patent (USP) 4,412,255) for such utilization.
  • the electroconductive layer of this conventional electromagnetic shield is made of either only a metal layer or a complex oxide layer consisting of indium oxide and tin oxide. (Hereinafter, the complex oxide consisting of indium oxide and tin oxide is referred to as ITO.)
  • the said electromagnetic shield is used as a front panei for PDP, the visible light transmittance of the electromagnetic shield tends to be low and/or the visible light reflection on the surface of the electromagnetic shield tends to be high.
  • the electroconductive lattice pattern is in contact with the electroconductive layer inside of the transparent substrate, and the reflection on the surface of the electromagnetic shield tends to be high when the shied is used without another layer such as an anti-reflection layer being arranged onto the surface of the shield.
  • the present inventors have tried to develop an electromagnetic shield which efficiently shields electromagnetic wave leakage from the screen of a display device, of which visible light transmittance is high and of which visible light reflection on the surface is low.
  • an electromagnetic shield comprising a transparent substrate, an electroconductive lattice pattern and a specific electroconductive layer can efficiently shield electromagnetic wave, the visible light transmittance thereof is high and the visible light reflection on the surface thereof is low.
  • the present invention has been accomplished on the basis of the above findings.
  • the present invention provides an electromagnetic shield comprising a transparent substrate, an electroconductive lattice pattern and an electroconductive layer selected from (i) an electroconductive layer comprising a metal layer and a dielectric layer, each layer arranged in alternating positions, or (ii) an electroconductive layer comprising a layer with a high-refraction index and a layer with a low-refraction index, each layer arranged in alternating positions.
  • the present invention also provides a front panel for a display, which comprises the said electromagnetic shield.
  • the present invention further provides a display comprising the said electromagnetic shield.
  • the present invention still further provides a method of shielding against electromagnetic waves generated by a display, which comprises placing the said electromagnetic shield in front of the display.
  • Figure 1 Figure 1 and Figure 6 set forth the cross sectional views of the electromagnetic shields obtained in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Example 3 and Comparative Example 5, respectively.
  • Figure 3 and Figure 5 set forth the cross sectional view of the electromagnetic shield-intermediate obtained during the procedures of Example 3 and Comparative Example 5, respectively.
  • the present invention sets forth an electromagnetic shield which effectively shields the electromagnetic waves emanating from the display device.
  • This electromagnetic shield allows a relatively large amount of visible light to penetrate, allows the surface reflection of visible light to decrease, and can be used effectively as a display screen filter, especially for a front panel for PDP.
  • the present invention provides an electromagnetic shield comprising a transparent substrate, an electroconductive lattice pattern and an electroconductive layer selected from (i) an electroconductive layer comprising a metal layer and a dielectric layer, each layer arranged in alternating positions, or (ii) an electroconductive layer comprising a layer with a high-refraction index and a layer with a low-refraction index, each layer arranged in alternating positions.
  • the electromagnetic shield of the present invention comprises a transparent substrate.
  • the transparent substrate include a glass panel and a synthetic resin panel.
  • the synthetic resin include thermoplastic resins such as acrylic resins, polycarbonate resins, polyethylene teraphthalates and polyolefins.
  • the transparent substrate may be one panel, or may be made of two or more panels of the same or different substrates.
  • the transparent substrate may be laminated with a hard coat layer. The hard coat layer on the substrate allows another different layer superimposed on the hard coat layer not to be separated from the substrate.
  • the transparent substrate may be colored with pigments, dyes, or the like.
  • the thickness of the transparent substrate is not particularly restricted and is preferably decided depending on the utilization of the electromagnetic shield.

  • the electromagnetic shield of the present invention comprises an electroconductive lattice pattern.
  • the lattice pattern in the present invention usually has the pitch of about 40 to about 250 mesh, wherein a line width of the lattice is about 100 ⁇ m or less.
  • the lattice pattern has a pitch of about 50 to about 200 mesh, wherein a line width of the lattice is about 70 ⁇ m or less.
  • the pitch When the pitch is ever 250 mesh, the visible light transmittance of the electromagnetic shields tends to be low, causing a visual recognition of the display screen through the electromagnetic shield to decrease.
  • the pitch when the pitch is less than 40 mesh, the lattice pattern tends to be discernible, causing the visibility of the display screen through the electromagnetic shield to decrease.
  • the line width of the lattice is over 100 ⁇ m, the lattice pattern tends to be discernible, which also causes a decreased visibility of the display screen.
  • the lattices such that the line width is less than 10 ⁇ m rend to be complicated to manufacture and, therefore, the lattices with a line width of 10 ⁇ m or more are preferable.
  • the thickness of the lattice pattern is preferably about 2 ⁇ m or more, since the lattices such that the thickness is less than about 2 ⁇ m, tend to decrease electromagnetic shielding performance.
