Abstract:
A layer stack (100; 200) for a touch panel is described. The layer stack includes a substrate (110; 210) including a polymer for depositing one or more layers on the substrate; a patterned transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer (160; 260) provided over the substrate (110; 210), which comprises areas of TCO and gaps between the areas of TCO; a first dielectric material (170; 270) provided in the gaps of the patterned TCO layer (160; 260); and a dielectric layer (180; 280) being deposited directly on the TCO areas of the TCO layer (160; 260) and directly on the first dielectric material (170; 270). Further, a touch panel including a layer stack and a method for forming a layer stack for a touch panel is described.

The deposition arrangement includes a vacuum chamber (120); a roller device (200; 300; 400; 500; 604) within the vacuum chamber (120); and an electrical heating device (61; 220; 320; 420; 520) within the roller device (200; 300; 400; 500; 604), wherein the heating device comprises a first end (250) and a second end (260), and wherein the heating device is held at the first end and at the second end. Also, a method for heating a substrate in a vacuum deposition arrangement is described.
Abstract:
An anti-reflective and anti-viral protective shield, an anti-reflective and anti-viral visor for a face protection system, a method for manufacturing an anti-reflective and anti-viral protective shield and/or an anti-reflective and anti-viral visor for a face protection system, and a face protection system comprising an anti-reflective and anti-viral visor are provided. The anti-reflective and anti-viral protective shield and the anti-reflective and anti-viral visor for a face protection system include a layer stack including a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer arranged in this order. The first layer and the third layer have a refractive index of at least 1.9, and the second layer and the fourth layer have a refractive index of less than 1.7. Further, the anti-reflective and anti-viral protective shield and the anti-reflective and anti-viral visor for a face protection system also includes an upper layer over the layer stack. The upper layer includes at least one material selected from the group consisting of TiO 2 , ZnO, CuO, Ag-TiO 2 , and combinations thereof.

Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a transparent body for a touch screen panel is described. The process includes: depositing a first transparent layer stack over a flexible transparent substrate, wherein said first transparent layer stack includes at least a first dielectric film with a first refractive index, and a second dielectric film with a second refractive index different from the first refractive index; providing a transparent conductive film over the first transparent layer stack; depositing a layer of a conductive material over the transparent conductive film; providing a polymer layer over the layer of a conductive material; imprinting a pattern, particularly a 3D pattern, on the polymer layer; etching the layer of the conductive material based upon the pattern to form conductive paths for the touch screen panel; and etching the transparent conductive film based upon the pattern to form a structured transparent conductive pattern for touch detection.
