AI summary

An electromagnetic shielding layer and a wireless electrical energy transmission device having the electromagnetic shielding layer are provided. A first shielding layer is composed of a hollow area and a solid area. At the hollow area, because the magnetoresistance of the air is greater than the magnetoresistance of the magnetic sheet, it is not easy for the magnetic lines of flux of the high frequency magnetic field of the primary transmitting coil to pass the hollow area, so that the inductance value of the primary transmitting coil won't be affected easily by the change of the magnetoresistance during working Under the receiving coil is provided with magnetic sheet as much as possible to ensure the coupling of the receiving coil and the transmitting coil and to enhance the transmission efficiency.
