Abstract
A display panel such as a plasma display panel is provided in which an electromagnetic-wave shielding material is integrated whereby electromagnetic-wave shielding efficiency is imparted to a display panel itself. A transparent film having a conductive pattern is bonded to a front surface of a plasma display panel by transparent adhesives A. The conductive pattern is in a mesh form having a line width of 50 &mgr;m or less and an open area ratio of 75% or more and is formed by vapor plating or liquid phase plating. To form a conductive pattern, dots are printed on a transparent film by using material which is soluble in solvent such as water. Then, a conductive material layer is formed so as to cover over all the dots and exposed portions of the transparent film . The film is cleaned by the solvent such as water. By the cleaning process, the soluble dots are dissolved and the conductive material on the dots are also removed from the film . Accordingly, conductive material formed on the exposed portions are left uncovered by the dots so as to form a conductive pattern . In this manner, the conductive pattern plated on areas of the film other than the dots is formed.
