A single-side touch-screen device includes a substrate having a cured layer with a patterned arrangement of micro-channels embossed therein and a cured electrically conductive micro-wire formed in each micro-channel. A patterned dielectric insulator is located over one or more middle portions of at least some of the micro-wires forming insulated micro-wire portions and exposed micro-wire portions. A plurality of patterned transparent conductors are conformally coated in an array over at least a part of the patterned dielectric insulator, at least a part of the insulated micro-wire portions, and at least a part of the exposed micro-wire portions, the at least a part of the exposed micro-wire portions electrically connected to at least a portion of the patterned transparent conductors. The transparent conductors and the micro-wires form an array of electrically connected horizontal electrodes and an array of electrically connected vertical electrodes electrically isolated from the horizontal electrodes.
