ABSTRACT:
A device or an enclosed area that can cause or is sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) is shielded by at least partially surrounding the device or the area with a visible light-transmissive film comprising a flexible support, an extensible visible light-transmissive metal or metal alloy layer and a visible light-transmissive crosslinked polymeric protective layer, and optionally connecting at least one grounding electrode to the metal or metal alloy layer. The film has reduced susceptibility to fracture or corrosion compared to commercially available EMI shielding films, especially when bent or deformed.
