  • Patent number: 8283577
    Abstract: Intended is to provide an electromagnetic shielding material having a conductive layer pattern by transferring a conductive composite to a transparent base material, and an electromagnetic shielding material having a metal layer formed on the transferred conductive layer. The electromagnetic shielding material is free from the troubles such as the breaking of wire, the non-conforming shape or the low contact, which is based on the non-conforming transfer of the conductive composite. The electromagnetic shielding material comprises a transparent base material, a primer layer formed over the transparent base material, and a conductive layer formed in a predetermined pattern on the primer layer. In the primer layer, a portion having the conductive layer formed therein has a thickness larger than the thickness of a portion without the conductive layer.
