Abstract:
A coating material containing metal oxide is applied to one side of a substrate, both coating and substrate being transparent to visible light. An absorber material is placed in heat transfer proximity to the coating and a laser beam is transmitted through the substrate and through the coating to strike the absorber material at the interface between coating and absorber. The absorber material absorbs optical energy from the laser beam causing the material to heat. Heat from the absorber propagates to the coating to heat a localized region, causing the coating material to anneal. If desired, the coating material can include a doping material that fuses into the coating during annealing.

Disclosed are methods or manufacturing a metal wiring buried flexible substrate by using plasma and flexible substrates manufactured by the same. The method includes pre-treating a substrate by irradiating the plasma on the surface of the substrate (Step 1), forming a metal wiring on the pre-treated substrate in Step 1 (Step 2), forming a metal wiring buried polymer layer by coating a curable polymer on the substrate including the metal wiring formed thereon in Step 2 and curing (Step 3), and separating the polymer layer formed in Step 3 from the substrate in Step 1 (Step 4), The metal wiring may be inserted into the flexible substrate, and the resistance of the wiring may be decreased. The metal wiring may be clearly separated from the substrate, and impurities on the substrate surface may be clearly removed. The flexible substrate may be easily separated by applying only physical force.
Abstract:
A method of removing portions of a conductive layer comprising a transparent conductive material and/or a metallic material disposed on a plastic substrate used for capacitive touchscreen devices includes providing a plastic substrate having a conductive layer disposed on a surface thereof and removing portions of the conductive layer at the surface of the plastic substrate to establish a pattern of electrically isolated conductive portions on the surface of the plastic substrate. The conductive portions or traces are electrically connected to a touchscreen controller, which is operable to determine a location of a touch or proximity of an object at or near the surface of the plastic substrate responsive to a detected change in capacitance. The removal process may comprise etching or laser ablating portions of the conductive layer at the surface of the plastic substrate.
