Abstract

A wiring board includes a substrate and a mesh wiring layer and has an electromagnetic wave transceiver function. The substrate is transparent. The mesh wiring layer serves as an antenna and includes a wiring line. Two or more opening portions are formed by being surrounded by the wiring line. A planar shape of each opening portion is polygonal that has opposing sides parallel with each other. 95% or more opening portions among 100 opening portions or all of the opening portions satisfy a relationship of 0.70D≤d≤0.98D or satisfy a relationship of 1.02D≤d≤1.30D, where d is distances between sides that extend in a first direction regarding the opening portions, and D is an average value of the distances between the sides that extend in the first direction regarding the 100 opening portions continuously adjacent to each other or all of the opening portions.

Claims (56)

1 . A wiring board comprising:

a substrate that has a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface; and

a mesh wiring layer that is disposed on the first surface of the substrate,

wherein the wiring board has an electromagnetic wave transceiver function,

wherein the substrate is transparent,

wherein the mesh wiring layer serves as an antenna and includes a wiring line,

wherein two or more opening portions are formed by being surrounded by the wiring line,

wherein a planar shape of each of the opening portions is a polygonal shape that has opposing sides parallel with each other, and

wherein 95% or more opening portions among 100 opening portions or all of the opening portions

satisfy a relationship of

0.70D≤d≤0.98D or

satisfy a relationship of

1.02D≤d≤1.30D, where

d is distances between sides that extend in a first direction regarding the opening portions, and

D is an average value of the distances between the sides that extend in the first direction regarding the 100 opening portions continuously adjacent to each other or all of the opening portions.

2 . The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein the 95% or more opening portions among the 100 opening portions or all of the opening portions

satisfy a relationship of

0.85D≤d≤0.98D or

satisfy a relationship of

14 . The wiring board according to claim 12 , wherein two or more of the dummy wiring layers are provided, and aperture ratios of the mesh wiring layer and the dummy wiring layers increase stepwise in order from the mesh wiring layer to the dummy wiring layers far from the mesh wiring layer.

15 . A module comprising: the wiring board according to claim 1 ; and

a power supply line that is electrically connected to the wiring board.

16 . An image display apparatus comprising: the module according to claim 15 ; and a display device that is stacked with the wiring board of the module.

17 . A wiring board comprising:

a substrate that has a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface;

a mesh wiring layer that is disposed on the first surface of the substrate; and

a power supply portion that is electrically connected to the mesh wiring layer,

wherein the substrate is transparent,

wherein the mesh wiring layer includes a transmission portion that is connected to the power supply portion and a transceiver portion that is connected to the transmission portion,

wherein the mesh wiring layer includes a wiring line that serves as the transmission portion and the transceiver portion,

wherein two or more opening portions are formed by being surrounded by the wiring line,

wherein a planar shape of each of the opening portions is a polygonal shape that has opposing sides parallel with each other, and

wherein 95% or more opening portions among 100 opening portions or all of the opening portions satisfy a relationship of

0.70D≤d≤0.98D or

satisfy a relationship of

1.02D≤d≤1.30D, where

d is distances between sides that extend in a first direction regarding the opening portions, and

D is an average value of the distances between the sides that extend in the first direction regarding the 100 opening portions continuously adjacent to each other or all of the opening portions.

18 . A module comprising: the wiring board according to claim 17 ; and

a power supply line that is electrically connected to the wiring board.

19 . An image display apparatus comprising: the module according to claim 18 ; and a display device that is stacked with the wiring board of the module.
