Method and system to shield mobile phones and devices to minimize radiation exposure
View Patent ↗A method and system for protecting a user from exposure from radio waves emitted from a wireless transmitter include at least a layer of dielectric material to operate on the radio wave through reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, polarization and/or scattering of the wave. The characteristics and arrangement of multiple layers of shielding on portions of or all of a face plate may significantly reduce exposure to electromagnetic waves and the deleterious effects associated with over exposure. The shielding can be applied subsequent to manufacture, during manufacture or incorporated into structures which may form the transmitting device.
1. A mobile device for wireless communications comprising:
a transmitter and an antenna;
a face plate, said face plate oriented towards a user during use; said face plate further comprising a viewing screen and a plurality of user input keys;
a back plate disposed opposite from said face plate;
said antenna located proximate to a portion of the back plate; and
a dielectric material disposed on said face plate shielding the user from radio waves broadcast from the antenna during communications, wherein the portion of the back plate is not shielded; wherein said dielectric material is disposed as a layer over a second material forming said plurality of user input keys, wherein an interface between the layer of dielectric material and the second material is convex with respect to the second material.
2. A mobile device for wireless communications comprising:
a transmitter and an antenna;
a face plate, said face plate oriented towards a user during use; said face plate further comprising a viewing screen and a plurality of user input keys;
a back plate disposed opposite from said face plate;
said antenna located proximate to a portion of the back plate; and
a dielectric material disposed on said face plate shielding the user from radio waves broadcast from the antenna during communications, wherein the portion of the back plate is not shielded; wherein said dielectric material is disposed as a layer over a second material forming said plurality of user input keys, wherein an interface between the layer of dielectric material and the second material is concave with respect to the second material.
