    Abstract: Provided is an optically transparent conductive material which is suitable as an optically transparent electrode for capacitive touchscreens, the optically transparent conductive material not causing moire even when placed over a liquid crystal display, having a favorably low pattern conspicuousness (non-conspicuousness), and having a high reliability. The optically transparent conductive material has, on an optically transparent support, an optically transparent conductive layer having optically transparent sensor parts electrically connected to terminal parts and optically transparent dummy parts not electrically connected to terminal parts, and in this optically transparent conductive material, the sensor parts and the dummy parts are formed of a metal thin line pattern having a mesh shape, and in the plane of the optically transparent conductive layer, the contour shape of each of the sensor parts extends in a first direction, the dummy parts are arranged alternately with the sensor parts in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the sensor parts are arranged at a cycle of L in the second direction, at least part of the metal thin line pattern in the sensor parts has a cycle of 2L/N in the second direction (wherein N is any natural number), and the metal thin line pattern in the dummy parts has a cycle longer than 2L/N or does not have a cycle in the second direction.

    Abstract: A stretchable interconnect includes a plurality of electrically conductive traces formed as a complex pattern on an elastic substrate. The form of the electrically conductive traces is such that when the elastic substrate is in a relaxed, or non-stretched, state each of the electrically conductive traces forms a tortuous path, such as a waveform, along the elastic substrate. The tortuous path of the electrically conductive traces provides slack such that as the elastic substrate is stretched the slack is taken up. Once released, the elastic substrate moves from the stretched position to the relaxed, non-stretched position, and slack is reintroduced into the electrically conductive traces in the form of the original tortuous path.

    Abstract: An article comprises an electronic component, such as an integrated circuit or packaged integrated circuit, and a circuit sheet arrangement. The circuit sheet arrangement may comprise a flexible planar substrate and conductive tracks formed on a face of the substrate. The substrate is configured to have an aperture enclosed by surrounding portion of the substrate and to have at least two arms supporting respective conductive tracks which extend into the aperture from the surrounding portions. The electronic component is disposed over the aperture and is attached to conductive tracks on the arms, for example, using conductive glue or ink.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include a printed circuit with a surface-mounted component. The component may produce resistive heating within the printed circuit. Resistive thermal devices (RTDs) may be embedded within the printed circuit. An RTD may at least partially overlap the electrical component. The RTD may include contact pads on a flexible substrate and a meandering conductive trace between the contact pads. The trace may have a resistance varying linearly as a function of temperature. A data acquisition system (DAQ) may measure the resistance of the RTD. Control circuitry may identify the temperature of the printed circuit based on the resistance of the RTD measured by the DAQ and may reduce power consumption by the component when the temperature exceeds a threshold. This may serve to prevent overheating in the printed circuit over time, thereby maximizing the operating life of the printed circuit.
