Abstract:
Composite transparent conductors are described, which comprise a primary conductive medium based on metal nanowires or metal nanotubes and a secondary conductive medium based on a different type of nanostructures or a continuous conductive film.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are photo-stable optical stacks including a transparent conductive film formed by silver nanostructures or silver mesh. In particular, one or more light stabilizers (such as transition metal salts) are incorporated into one or more constituent layers of the optical stack.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to optical stacks having nanostructure-based transparent conductive films and low diffuse reflection. Also described are display devices that incorporate the optical stacks.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to structures comprising a nanostructure layer that includes a plurality of transparent conductors and coating layer formed on a surface thereof. In some embodiments, the coating layer includes one or more conductive plugs having outer and inner surfaces. The inner surface the plug is placed in electrical communication with the nanostructure layer and the outer surface forms conductive surface contacts proximate an outer surface of the coating layer. In some embodiments, the structure includes a polarizer and is used as a shielding layer in flat panel electrochromic displays, such as liquid crystal displays, touch panels, and the like.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to modifications to nanostructure based transparent conductors to achieve increased haze/light-scattering with different and tunable degrees of scattering, different materials, and different microstructures and nanostructures.
Abstract:
Transparent conductors and methods of forming same are provided. A transparent conductor can include a nanostructure layer (120) and a low sheet resistance grid (115) disposed on a transfer film surface (110) having an acceptable level surface roughness. The presence of the low sheet resistance grid lowers the sheet resistance of the transparent conductor to an acceptable level. After release of the transparent conductor from the film, the surface roughness of the transparent conductor will be at least comparable to the surface roughness of the transfer film.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods of controlling metal nanowire morphologies by adjusting the reaction conditions of a polyol synthesis. In particular, by purging the reaction with an inert gas, batch-to-batch consistency can be achieved.
Abstract:
Reliable and durable conductive films formed of conductive nanostructures are described. The conductive films show substantially constant sheet resistance following prolonged and intense light exposure.
