Abstract:
A method of making a micro-wire rib structure includes providing a substrate and locating a curable layer on or over the substrate. The curable layer is imprinted and cured to form a cured layer including a cured-layer surface and a micro-channel having a micro-channel depth, a micro-channel bottom, first and second micro-channel sides, and one or more ribs having opposing rib sides and a rib top defining a rib height less than the micro-channel depth. Each rib is located between the first and second micro-channel sides and extends from the micro-channel bottom toward the cured-layer surface. A curable conductive material is located in the micro-channel and cured to provide a cured electrical conductor forming a micro-wire in the micro-channel. The micro-wire extends continuously from the first micro-channel side, over the micro-channel bottom, the rib side(s) and rib top(s), to the second micro-channel side forming a continuous electrical conductor from the first micro-channel side to the second micro-channel side.
Abstract:
A double-sided patterned transparent conductive film includes an upper surface conductive layer (12) and a lower surface conductive layer (12). The upper surface conductive layer is a patterned trench network; the lower surface conductive layer is a full-surface trench network. A trench of the upper surface conductive layer is filled with conductive material (13), and a trench of the lower surface conductive layer is intermittently filled with conductive material (13). The double-sided patterned transparent conductive film has a high resolution, transmittance, independently adjustable square resistance and many other advantages, such that the transparent conductive film saves a cost of PET. According to the manufacturing method, the alignment is not needed for double-sided imprinting of a single flexible substrate, thus the process is simple, low cost, advantageous for industrial production.
