A front filter being attached to a front surface of a flat panel display
device includes a NIR (near infrared ray) blocking film for blocking the
emission of near infrared rays to outside; an EMI (electromagnetic
interference) shielding film for absorbing electromagnetic waves and for
preventing the electromagnetic waves from being emitted to outside; a
glass formed on a front surface of the EMI shielding film; and an
antireflection coating for preventing incident rays from outside from
reflecting back to the outside, in which the EMI shielding film includes
a mesh unit formed of conductive meshes that are intersected with each
other; and a mesh frame for surrounding the mesh unit to support the mesh
unit and to define an effective display area on a screen.
