Antenna device

Abstract

Provided is an antenna device, having a small and simple configuration, which reduces connection resistance in connections between a film antenna element and a power feeding unit. An antenna device comprises a nonconductive transparent film, which is an insulating substrate having a prescribed optical transmission factor, an antenna element that is formed, upon the transparent film, from transparent conductive material, which is a conductive material having a prescribed optical transmission factor, and a non-transparent conductive power feeding wire. The transparent film and the transparent conductive material are doubled over and pressed upon a portion of one side of the antenna element, which forms a square dipole antenna, such that the transparent conductive material is on the inside, and the power feeding wire is sandwiched therein. By being doubled over, the transparent conductive material has an overlap portion, the two sides whereof electrically connect to one other.
