  • Publication number: 20110156969
    Abstract: A printed antenna comprises an ink-printed layer, a hard substrate and a radiation conductor layer. The hard substrate has a surface, and the ink-printed layer is coated on the surface to form a non-transparent area. The uncoated region of the surface is a transparent area. The radiation conductor layer is formed on the ink-printed layer and does not exceed the non-transparent area of the hard substrate. In the present invention, a conductive ink is coated on the surface of a non-metallic plate, such as a glass plate, an acrylic plate or an LCD panel, to form the radiation conductor layer. Therefore, the printed antenna of the present invention is exempt from the complicated processes of fabricating the conventional metallic radiation conductors with the application field thereof expanded.
