TECHNICAL FIELDThe present disclosure relates to the technical field of photoelectric products, in particular to a cover plate module.
BACKGROUNDWith the arrival of the age of commercialized 5G, more and more 5G base stations are being built to provide wireless coverage and realize wireless signal transmission between wired communication networks and wireless terminals. The architecture and form of the base stations directly affect how 5G network is deployed. In the current technical standards, the frequency band of 5G is much higher than that of 2G, 3G and 4G networks. At present stage, the 5G network mainly works in the frequency band of 3000-5000 MHz. Because the higher the frequency, the greater the attenuation during the propagation of signals, the density of the base stations of the 5G network should be higher.
Because the attenuation of 5G signal is particularly serious, the requirements for the structure of the antenna and the reception and transmission of the antenna are becoming higher and higher. For example, there may be great impact on the traditional mobile phone antenna with a disuse of the metal back cover. The antenna has to be moved outward to enhance the reception and transmission of the signal. Moreover, because the signal is very easy to attenuate, the glass of buildings may need to be used as the base station of the signal, but it cannot affect the light transmission, which requires a new antenna structure to be used on a device and the base station.
SUMMARYBased on this, it is necessary to provide a cover plate module to solve the above technical problems.
A technical solution of the present disclosure is disclosed as below.
A cover plate module includes:
a supporting body;
a transparent antenna, including an antenna body and a partition region, wherein a side of the supporting body is provided with a grid-like conductive wire to form the antenna body;

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the absolute value of the difference between the transmittance of the antenna body and the transmittance of the dummy electrode is not greater than 10%.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a side of the supporting body is provided with a polymer layer, and the conductive wire is embedded on a side of the polymer layer away from the supporting body.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the side of the polymer layer away from the supporting body is provided with a concave structure, the concave structure forms a grid, and the concave structure is provided with a conductive material to form the conductive wire embedded on the side of the polymer layer.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a height of the conductive material is less than a depth of the concave structure; or a height of the conductive material is equal to a depth of the concave structure; or a height of the conductive material is greater than a depth of the concave structure.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the concave structure includes a bottom surface, two side surfaces and an opening, and a black material is provided close to the bottom surface and/or the opening.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an included angle between each of the two side surfaces and the bottom surface is not equal to 90 degrees.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the grid forming the dummy electrode includes multiple grid lines, and at least a grid line of the multiple grid lines is disconnected, so that the grid line is disconnected.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the grid lines are made of a conductive material and/or a non-conductive material, and the grid lines are embedded in the partition region.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a side of the micro-nano structural layer away from the supporting body is provided with a reflecting layer, and a side of the reflecting layer away from the micro-nano structural layer is provided with a coloring layer.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cover plate module visually has one or more combinations of the group consisting of: an effect of gradual light and shadow, an effect of light and shadow with a straight line or a curve, and an effect of light and shadow forming an image.
Beneficial effects of the disclosure: the disclosure provides a cover plate module, which can not only receive and transmit signals on a transparent material but also achieve an effect of light and shadow for decoration. A dummy electrode is further provided, so that the transparent antennas are visually unified and there is no obvious difference in transmittance when people use objects with the transparent antennas. Moreover, in order to eliminate obvious visual difference, the antennas can also be provided on different supporting bodies and correspond to the partition regions of different layers respectively.
In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure will be further described specifically with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that, the specified embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure, but not to limit the present disclosure.
In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for the purpose of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance; unless otherwise specified or stated, the term “multiple” refers to two or more; and the terms “connection” and “fixed” should be understood in a broad sense. For example, “connection” is a fixed connection, a detachable connection, an integrated connection, or an electrical connection, and is connected directly or indirectly through intermediate media. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure are understood according to specific situations.
The present disclosure provides a transparent antenna, including: a supporting body or a supporting layer, which is made of polymer material or glass and is mainly used as a support of an antenna; a transparent antenna including an antenna body and a partition region, in which a side of the supporting layer is provided with a grid-like conductive wire to form the antenna body, and the transparent antenna is visually transparent and is actually made of a conductive material, but lines are thin enough for human eyes to distinguish; and a dummy electrode. The partition region is provided with a grid to form the dummy electrode, and the dummy electrode is electrically insulated from the antenna body. Of course, the dummy electrode may also be random line segments. Because the transparent antenna is made of a conductive material, which will affect the transmittance to some extent, in other words, there is a difference in the transmittance between a region with the transparent antenna and a region without the transparent antenna resulting in visual difference of human eyes. Therefore, the dummy electrode is provided in the partition region of the transparent antenna, and the dummy electrode cannot function as an antenna. The material of the dummy electrode may be the same as the material of the transparent antenna, and the material of the dummy electrode may be a conductive material or a non-conductive material. Moreover, in the case where the dummy electrode includes random or regular line segments, the line segments may be overlapped, or all line segments may be independent and not intersect with each other. And of course, the extension lines of the line segments may intersect with each other.
For example, the absolute value of the difference between the transmittance of the antenna body and the transmittance of the dummy electrode is not greater than 20%. Furthermore, the absolute value of the difference between the transmittance of the antenna body and the transmittance of the dummy electrode is not greater than 10%, or the absolute value of the difference between the transmittance of the antenna body and the transmittance of the dummy electrode is not greater than 5% in order to achieve a smaller difference in visual effect.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive wire of the transparent antenna is protruded on the supporting layer. Of course, the conductive wire may also be embedded on a side of the supporting layer. In the case where the transparent antenna is an embedded structure, it is equivalent to that a side of the supporting layer is provided with a concave structure, the concave structure forms a grid, and the concave structure is provided with a conductive material to form the conductive wire embedded on the side of the supporting layer. The height of the conductive material is less than the depth of the concave structure; or the height of the conductive material is equal to the depth of the concave structure; or the height of the conductive material is greater than the depth of the concave structure.
For example, the concave structure includes a bottom surface, two side surfaces and an opening, and a black material is provided close to the bottom surface and/or the opening. That is, the bottom of the conductive material in the concave structure is provided with the black material, or the top of the conductive material in the concave structure is provided with the black material, or both the bottom and the top of the conductive material in the concave structure are provided with the black material. Of course, the black material itself may also be conductive. An included angle between each of the two side surfaces and the bottom surface is not equal to 90 degrees. Of course, the included angle between each of the two side surfaces and the bottom surface may also be equal to 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees.
In an embodiment, the grid which forms the dummy electrode includes multiple grid lines, and at least one of the grid lines is disconnected, so that the grid line is disconnected to prevent the dummy electrode from being connected with the antenna body. In this way, the grid of the dummy electrode is disconnected, which further ensures the safety of the antenna body. The grid lines are made of a conductive material and/or a non-conductive material, and the grid lines are embedded in the partition region. Therefore, the grid of the dummy electrode is a convex structure or an embedded structure, and is formed synchronously with the antenna body or is formed by separate processes. The difference between the dummy electrode and the antenna body is that the antenna body plays a role of an antenna, such as receiving and transmitting signals, while the dummy electrode does not need to play the role of the antenna itself.
