Abstract

An electromagnetic wave shield film (1) comprises a transparent base (2), a conductor (4) positioned on the transparent base (2) via an adhesive (3) and having a mesh geometric pattern, and an earth portion (5) arranged around the conductor (4) and including conductive regions (501) which absorb electromagnetic waves, and non-conductive regions (510) which prevent the earth portion (5) from being creased.

Claims
