a relationship between a line width W and a line interval D of the mesh part substantially satisfies D≧22W, and
the line width W is equal to or greater than double a skin depth of a conductive material of the mesh part with respect to a target frequency of the antenna element.
2. The antenna element according to claim 1 , wherein
a density of the mesh part is changed stepwise or continuously.
3. The antenna element according to claim 1 , wherein
the antenna element has a ground section, and only an area other than the feeding part and the ground section is formed in the mesh state.
4. The antenna element according to claim 1 , wherein
a width of an outermost peripheral line of the mesh part is greater than a width of an inner line in the mesh part.
5. An antenna device comprising:
a first antenna element including
a first feeding part; and
a first mesh part including at least a part of an area formed in a mesh state, wherein
the first feeding part and an area of the first antenna element in close proximity to the first mesh part are formed of a finer mesh than the first mesh part or formed of a solid; and
a second antenna element including
a second feeding part; and
a second mesh part including at least a part of an area formed in a mesh state,
wherein the second feeding part and an area of the second antenna element in close proximity to the second mesh part are formed of a finer mesh than the second mesh part or formed of a solid, and wherein
a portion of each of the first and second antenna elements is configured to be bent, and the bent portion is formed of a finer mesh than the first and second mesh parts or formed of a solid,
a relationship between a line width W and a line interval D of each of the first and second mesh parts substantially satisfies D≧22W, and
the line width W of each of the first and second mesh parts is equal to or greater than double a skin depth of a conductive material of each of the first and second mesh part, respectively, with respect to the first and second target frequencies of each of the first and second antenna elements.
6. The antenna device of claim 5 , wherein
the first antenna element corresponds to a first target frequency, and the second antenna element corresponds to a second target frequency.
7. The antenna device according to claim 5 , wherein the first and second antenna elements are formed on a flexible printed circuit made of a transparent material.
8. The antenna device according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a transparent supporting member to which the flexible printed circuit is adhered.
9. A mobile device comprising:
an antenna element including
a feeding part; and
a mesh part including at least a part of an area formed in a mesh state, wherein
the feeding part and an area of the antenna element in close proximity to the mesh part are formed of a finer mesh than the mesh part or formed of a solid,
a portion of the antenna element is configured to be bent, and the bent portion is formed of a finer mesh than the mesh part or formed of a solid,
a relationship between a line width W and a line interval D of the mesh part substantially satisfies D≧22W, and
the line width W is equal to or greater than double a skin depth of a conductive material of the mesh part with respect to a target frequency of the antenna element.
10. The mobile device according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a light emitting element; and
a light emitting section configured to output light emitted from the light emitting element through at least the mesh part of the antenna element.
11. The mobile device according to claim 10 , wherein
the mobile device is a mobile telephone terminal, and at the time of receiving at least a telephone call or a message at the mobile telephone terminal, the light emitting section is configured to display an icon, a symbol, or a character.
