Abstract:
Disclosed herein are optical stacks that are stable to light exposure by incorporating light-stabilizers (like l-phenyl-lH-tetrazole-5-thiol (PTZT))and/or oxygen barriers. OCA is the acronym for optical clear adhesive.
Abstract:
A transparent conductor including a conductive layer coated on a substrate is described. More specifically, the conductive layer comprises a network of nanowires that may be embedded in a matrix. The conductive layer is optically clear, patternable and is suitable as a transparent electrode in visual display devices such as touch screens, liquid crystal displays, plasma display panels and the like.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for designing and/or manufacturing transparent conductors. A system is operable to evaluate optical and electrical manufacturing criteria for a transparent conductor. The system includes a database including stored reference transparent conductor data, and a controller subsystem configured to compare input acceptance manufacturing criteria for a transparent conductor to stored reference transparent conductor data.

Abstract:
A transparent conductor including a conductive layer coated on a substrate is described. More specifically, the conductive layer comprises a network of nanowires which may be embedded in a matrix. The conductive layer is optically transparent and flexible. It can be coated or laminated onto a variety of substrates, including flexible and rigid substrates.

Abstract:
Method of patterning nanowire-based transparent conductors are described. In particular, the methods are directed to partial etching that generates low-visibility or invisible patterns.
Abstract:
Methods of enhancing contrast ratio of conductive nanostructure-based transparent conductors are described. Contrast ratio is significantly improved by reduction of light scattering and reflectivity of the nanostructures through steps of plating the conductive nanostructures followed by etching or oxidizing the underlying conductive nanostructures.
