Description

  The present invention relates to an electromagnetic wave shielding film.

  In recent years, in smartphones and tablet information terminals and the like, performance for transmitting large volumes of data at high speed has been demanded. In order to transmit a large amount of data at high speed, it is necessary to use a high-frequency signal. However, when a high-frequency signal is used, electromagnetic noise is generated from the signal circuit provided on the printed wiring board, and peripheral devices are liable to malfunction. In order to prevent such a malfunction, it is important to shield the printed wiring board from electromagnetic waves.

  In order to shield the printed wiring board, a method of attaching an electromagnetic wave shielding film having an insulating layer and a shielding layer to the printed wiring board has been studied (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Further, for the purpose of concealing the circuit pattern, an electromagnetic wave shielding film in which the insulating protective layer is colored black has been studied (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  Furthermore, for the purpose of improving the recognizability of white printing printed on the surface of the electromagnetic wave shielding film, it has been studied to adjust the color tone of the insulating protective layer of the electromagnetic wave shielding film (see, for example, Patent Document 3). ).

  On the surface of the electromagnetic wave shielding film affixed to the printed wiring board, symbols and the like are printed with white ink for the purpose of managing the printed wiring board in the assembly process of the electronic device. However, the conventional electromagnetic wave shielding film has a drawback that printing with white ink tends to spread and the productivity of the printing process using white ink is low.

  In addition, there is a demand for light weight and downsizing of information terminals and the like in which an electromagnetic wave shielding film is used. Accordingly, the size of the electromagnetic wave shielding film is reduced, and characters printed on the electromagnetic wave shielding film are also reduced.

  By reducing the size of printing, it becomes difficult to recognize characters printed on a conventional electromagnetic shielding film. This effect is particularly significant in a room with high illuminance.

  Furthermore, when characters and symbols are printed by screen printing on the conventional electromagnetic wave shielding film, ink oozes out between the screen plate and the electromagnetic wave shielding film, resulting in a decrease in printing accuracy and difficulty in recognizing small size characters. There is a problem. Even if the color of the insulating protective layer is adjusted and the contrast is improved, it does not fundamentally improve the reduction in visibility due to bleeding.

  The subject of this indication is realizing the electromagnetic wave shielding film which makes it easy to recognize a small size character etc. and can be printed with sufficient accuracy.

  One aspect of the electromagnetic wave shielding film includes an insulating protective layer and a shielding layer, and the insulating protective layer has an arithmetic average slope of 30 ° or more on the surface.

  According to the electromagnetic wave shielding film of the present disclosure, it is possible to easily recognize small-sized characters and the like and to print with high accuracy.
