3.2: Facile Patterning of Silver Nanowire with Invisible Effect for Naked Eyes via Ink‐jet Printing

Abstract

The sliver nanowire electrode has high conductivity and excellent mechanical flexibility, which has been considered to be the candidate material to replace ITO. However, haze is its major issue making the patterns visible. In this paper, we demonstrated an invisible patterning method based on ink-jet printing and partial etching. Eventually, we applied the film to fabricate liquid crystal display (LCD) prototype, and obtained relatively good response time performance.
