Abstract
An antenna-equipped cover glass for a wristwatch includes: a first insulating layer that includes a transparent insulator; a first electrode layer connected to a bottom surface of the first insulating layer, the first electrode layer having a first transparent electrode surrounded by an insulating pattern formed in a region therein; a second insulating layer connected to a bottom surface of the first electrode layer; and a second electrode layer connected to a bottom surface of the second insulating layer, the second electrode layer having a second transparent electrode surrounded by an insulating pattern formed in a region therein.
Claims16
A timepiece, comprising:
- an antenna that comprises:
- a first insulating layer that includes a transparent insulator;
- a first electrode layer connected to a bottom surface of the first insulating layer, the first electrode layer having a first transparent electrode at least partially surrounded by an insulating pattern formed in a region of the first electrode layer;
- a second insulating layer connected to a bottom surface of the first electrode layer;
- and
- a second electrode layer connected to a bottom surface of the second insulating layer, the second electrode layer having a second transparent electrode at least partially surrounded by an insulating pattern formed in a region of the second electrode layer;
- a circuit board on which a communication circuit that performs communication via the antenna is mounted;
- a dial plate arranged between the antenna and the circuit board;
- and
- a connector,
- wherein the connector is arranged between the antenna and the circuit board, and
- wherein the connector includes a first terminal that connects to the first transparent electrode and a second terminal that connects to the second transparent electrode.
