AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0018] In view of the above problem, the present invention was conceived to provide a low-cost electromagnetism suppressing material that has an increased electromagnetism suppressing effect and can be flexibly formed in various shapes, an electromagnetism suppressing device that uses the electromagnetism suppressing material, and an electronic appliance that uses the electromagnetism suppressing material or the electromagnetism suppressing device.

[0025] According to the electromagnetism suppressing material of the present invention, a liquid material or gel material that has electrical polarity, such as an electrolyte or a molecular liquid material that has electrical polarity, is highly efficient at absorbing and suppressing electromagnetism, and can be cheaply formed as EMC compatible components that are flexible. By doing so, it is possible not only to greatly reduce the cost of measures against unnecessary radiation, but also to reduce the time taken by such measures through high efficiency. In addition, by mixing in magnetic powder, such material can be designed with even higher efficiency. Also, the electromagnetism suppressing material is flexible compared to existing magnetic materials, so that the mounting surface can be simplified and a wide range of uses can be realized.

[0026] According to the electromagnetism suppressing device of the present invention, the electromagnetism suppressing material described above that is very efficient at absorbing electromagnetism is sealed in a sealed member, such as a resin sheet, so that an electromagnetism suppressing device that can absorb and suppress electromagnetism with high efficiency can be obtained and an EMC-compliant component that is flexible can be formed at low cost.

[0027] According to the electronic appliance of the present invention, by using the electromagnetism suppressing material or the electromagnetism suppressing device composed by sealing the electromagnetism suppressing material in a sealed member, it is possible to suppress or absorb unnecessary radiation and malfunctioning of the electromagnetism suppressing material can be prevented.

Problems solved by technology

Increasing use of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in recent years has been accompanied by a new environmental problem of electromagnetic noise causing damage such as the malfunctioning of appliances and adverse effects on the brain and body.

Since the number and applicability of both potential sources of electromagnetism and interfered-with devices are increasing exponentially, the risk of interference occurring is increasing astronomically.

However, there are cases where the voltage and current waveform fluctuate due to a particular resonant frequency that depends on how the circuit elements are combined, with this resulting in a large distortion in the desired signal waveform.

In addition, the wavelengths of electromagnetic waves in a GHz band are close to the circuit length of an electronic circuit, so that there is the risk of malfunctioning due to the circuit itself acting as an antenna for the electromagnetic waves.

However, due to the complex signal transmission paths inside electronic appliances and the differences in electric and magnetic field distributions produced by such, it is presently difficult to clearly establish the principles and effects of such electromagnetism suppressing members and electromagnetism absorbing members.

However, when a magnetic sheet is stuck onto a printed circuit board, and in particular onto an IC package, or onto the rear surface of a housing to block unnecessary radiation in an electronic appliance as described above, it is often not possible to achieve the expected electromagnetism absorbing effect and conversely a phenomenon where the magnetic field strength actually increases may be observed.

With existing sheets, if the included amount of magnetic powder is increased to strengthen such characteristics, the specific gravity of the magnetic sheet will rise together with the amount of magnetic powder, resulting in the magnetic sheet becoming hard.

In addition, the use of magnetic powder results in high costs, and a less expensive electromagnetism absorbing sheet is required.
