A transparent antenna of the present embodiment has a transparent base material, and a conductive member disposed on the transparent base material, in which the transparent base material contains the cured product of the present embodiment. The conductive member may be a single layer. As the configuration of the conductive member, the configuration described above regarding the conductive member of the laminate of the second aspect can be used. For example, the conductive member may contain copper. In addition, the conductive member may be solid, or may be in the shape of a pattern (for example, in the shape of a mesh). As the thickness of the transparent base material, the thickness described above regarding the transparent resin layer of the laminate of the present embodiment can be used.
The transparent antenna of the present embodiment may have a transparent member for supporting the transparent base material, that is, may have the transparent member, the transparent base material disposed on the transparent member, and the conductive member disposed on the transparent base material.
The shape of the transparent member is not particularly limited, and may be a film shape (a transparent film), a substrate shape (a transparent substrate), an irregular shape, or the like.

A first aspect of a manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment includes a processing step of patterning the conductive member (the solid conductive member) (for example, processing the conductive member into the shape of a mesh) disposed on the transparent base material containing the cured product of the present embodiment. In the processing step, the pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) conductive member may be obtained by etching the conductive member in a state where a pattern-shaped resist layer is disposed on the conductive member of the laminate having the transparent base material, and the conductive member disposed on the transparent base material. The resist layer may be removed after the conductive member is etched. The pattern-shaped resist layer can be obtained by irradiating (exposing) a photosensitive layer disposed on the conductive member with an active ray (for example, an ultraviolet ray), and then, by removing (developing) the unexposed portion or the exposed portion of the resist layer.
The laminate having the conductive member disposed on the transparent base material may be obtained by forming the conductive member on the transparent base material containing the cured product of the present embodiment, and for example, may be obtained by forming the conductive member on the transparent resin layer after the protective film of the laminate of the first aspect is removed. The laminate having the conductive member disposed on the transparent base material may be the laminate of the second aspect.
A second aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment includes a forming step of forming a pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) metal member in a state where a pattern-shaped resist layer is disposed on the transparent base material containing the cured product of the present embodiment. In the forming step, the pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) metal member may be formed by plating or sputtering using the resist layer as a mask. The resist layer may be removed after the forming step.
A third aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent
antenna of the present embodiment includes a removing step of removing the base material film of the laminate in a case where the conductive member of the laminate of the second aspect is in the shape of a pattern (for example, in the shape of a mesh). In a case where the transparent resin layer of the laminate in the removing step contains the cured product, the laminate of the transparent base material (the transparent resin layer) and the pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) conductive member can be obtained as the transparent antenna by the removing step. In a case where the transparent resin layer of the laminate in the removing step is uncured, the laminate of the transparent base material (the transparent resin layer) and the pattern-shaped (for example, mesh-shaped) conductive member can be obtained as the transparent antenna by curing the transparent resin layer (the resin composition of the transparent resin layer) after the removing step.
A fourth aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment includes a laminating step of laminating the transparent resin layer of the laminate of the present embodiment on the transparent member. As the transparent member, the transparent member described above regarding the transparent antenna can be used. In the laminating step, the transparent resin layer may be laminated on the transparent member in a state where the base material film of the laminate of the present embodiment is removed, and the transparent resin layer may be laminated on the transparent member in a state where the protective film of the laminate of the first aspect is removed. The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include a removing step A of removing the base material film of the laminate of the present embodiment, and may include a removing step B of removing the protective film of the laminate of the first aspect.
In the case of using the laminate of the second aspect, in the laminating step, the transparent resin layer and the conductive member may be laminated on the transparent member in a state where the transparent resin layer is positioned closer to the side of the transparent member than the conductive member, and the transparent resin layer and the conductive member may be laminated on the transparent member in a state where the transparent resin layer is in contact with the transparent member. In the laminating step, the transparent resin layer and the conductive member can be laminated on the transparent member in a state where the base material film of the laminate of the second aspect is removed.
Incidentally, in a laminate having a transparent member, and a conductive member laminated on the transparent member, in the case of laminating the transparent member and the conductive member with excellent adhesiveness, there is a case where the transparent member is subjected to a surface treatment (a plasma treatment, a corona treatment, or the like), and the manufacturing procedure of the laminate can be complicated. For example, in the case of using polyolefin as the constituent material of the transparent member, since adhesiveness between the polyolefin and the conductive member (for example, a metal material such as copper) is low, there is a case where the surface treatment is required to be performed in order to obtain sufficient adhesiveness. On the other hand, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to obtain the laminate of the transparent member and the conductive member (the laminate having the transparent member, the transparent resin layer, and the conductive member) as the transparent antenna while obtaining sufficient adhesiveness between the transparent member and the conductive member without requiring the surface treatment of the transparent member, and for example, it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna while obtaining sufficient adhesiveness between the transparent member containing polyolefin and the conductive member containing copper. In addition, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to collectively supply the transparent resin layer and the conductive member onto the transparent member by laminating the laminate of the present embodiment on the transparent member, and it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna by a simple method. Further, according to the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, it is possible to obtain the transparent antenna with excellent antenna characteristics by using a material with excellent dielectric characteristics (a permittivity, a dielectric dissipation factor, or the like) as the constituent material of the transparent resin layer.
In the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, the transparent resin layer in the removing step A, the removing step B, and the laminating step may be uncured, or may be the cured product. In a case where the transparent resin layer is uncured, the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include a curing step of curing the transparent resin layer (the resin composition of the transparent resin layer) after the laminating step.
In the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, the conductive member in the removing step A, the removing step B, and the laminating step may be solid, or may be in the shape of a pattern (for example, in the shape of a mesh). In a case where the conductive member is solid, the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include the processing step of patterning the conductive member (for example, processing the conductive member into the shape of a mesh) after the laminating step.
In the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect, the conductive member in the removing step A, the removing step B, and the laminating step may be a plurality of layers, and may include the first conductive member disposed on the transparent resin layer, and the second conductive member disposed on the first conductive member. At least one type selected from the group consisting of the first conductive member and the second conductive member may be solid, or may be in the shape of a pattern (for example, in the shape of a mesh). At least one type selected from the group consisting of the first conductive member and the second conductive member may contain copper, and the first conductive member and the second conductive member may contain copper. In a case where the conductive member includes the first conductive member and the second conductive member, in the laminating step, the transparent resin layer and the conductive member may be laminated on the transparent member in a state where the first conductive member is positioned closer to the side of the transparent member than the second conductive member. The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include a removing step C of removing the second conductive member after the laminating step. In the removing step C, the second conductive member can be peeled off from the first conductive member. The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include the processing step of patterning the first conductive member (for example, processing the first conductive member into the shape of a mesh) after the removing step C. In the processing step, for example, the first conductive member may be etched in a state where a pattern-shaped resist layer is disposed on the first conductive member. In a case where the transparent resin layer is uncured, the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fourth aspect may include the curing step of curing the transparent resin layer (the resin composition of the transparent resin layer) before the removing step C, after the removing step C, or before and after the removing step C.
A fifth aspect of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the present embodiment is a manufacturing method for a transparent antenna, using the laminate having the aforementioned base material film, the aforementioned transparent resin layer, and the aforementioned conductive member including the first conductive member and the second conductive member, in which the method includes the removing step C of removing the second conductive member in a state where the transparent resin layer and the conductive member are laminated on the transparent member while the transparent resin layer of the laminate is positioned closer to the side of the transparent member than the conductive member.
The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fifth aspect may include the curing step of curing the transparent resin layer (the resin composition of the transparent resin layer) in a state where the transparent resin layer and the conductive member are laminated on the transparent member, before the second conductive member is removed, after the second conductive member is removed, or before and after the second conductive member is removed. In the curing step, the transparent resin layer may be cured in a state where the transparent resin layer and the conductive member are laminated on the transparent member while the transparent resin layer is positioned closer to the side of the transparent member than the conductive member. The manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fifth aspect may include the processing step of patterning the first conductive member (for example, processing the first conductive member into the shape of a mesh) after the second conductive member is removed (after the removing step C). An example of the manufacturing method for a transparent antenna of the fifth aspect is a manufacturing method using the laminate having the aforementioned base material film, the aforementioned transparent resin layer (the uncured transparent resin layer), the aforementioned conductive member including the first conductive member and the second conductive member, in which the method includes the aforementioned removing step A (a first removing step), laminating step, curing step, and removing step C (a second removing step).

The yellow index (YI), the total light transmittance, and the haze of the test piece were measured by using a spectroscopic hazemeter (Product Name: SH7000, manufactured by NIPPON DENSHOKU INDUSTRIES CO., LTD.) in the environment of 25° C. Results are shown in Table 1.
A laminate with a length of 80 mm and a width of 80 mm was cut out from the aforementioned film for evaluation as a test piece, and then, the dielectric constant and the dielectric dissipation factor of this entire test piece were measured with a split-post dielectric resonator technique (a SPDR method) by using a vector type network analyzer (Product Name: E8364B, manufactured by Agilent Technologies Japan, Ltd.) and a 10 GHz resonator (Product Name: CP531, manufactured by Kanto Electronics Application Development Co., Ltd.) in the environment of 25° C. In addition, a laminate (Length: 80 mm, Width: 80 mm) in which only the aforementioned base material film and the aforementioned protective film were laminated was produced, and then, the dielectric constant and the dielectric dissipation factor of this laminate were measured with the same method. By subtracting the measurement result of the aforementioned laminate from the measurement result of the aforementioned test piece, the dielectric constant and the dielectric dissipation factor of the cured film were obtained. Results are shown in Table 1.
A laminate with a length of 40 mm and a width of 10 mm was cut out from the aforementioned film for evaluation, and then, the base material film and the protective film of this laminate were removed to obtain a test piece. A stress-strain curve of the test piece was measured by using an autograph (Product Name: EZ-S, manufactured by SHIMADZU CORPORATION) in the environment of 25° C. to obtain the degree of elongation and the elastic modulus (the tensile elastic modulus) from the stress-strain curve. A distance between chucks in the measurement was set to 20 mm, and a tensile rate was set to 50 mm/min. As the degree of elongation, the degree of breaking elongation when the test piece was broken was measured. As the elastic modulus, a value at a load of 0.5 N to 1.0 N was measured. Results are shown in Table 1.
