Abstract
RF shielding effectiveness and light transmittance of acopper or silver film coating on a plastic substrate is investigated. The dependence of the RF shielding effectiveness upon the surface resistance or thickness of a copper or silver film coating on a plastic substrate is calculated numerically by means of multireflection transmission-line theory over the frequency range of 100 MHz to 30 GHz. The light transmansmittance is determined by using the optical properties of the copper or silver film and plastic substrate. An optimum condition between the RF shielding effectiveness and the light transmittance is established for the copper or silver film coating on a plastic substrate.Keywords
