Design and Application of Anisotropic Nanostructured Conductive and Alignment Coatings

Abstract

The paper describes the investigations of electrochemical preparation of self-organized aluminum mesh for display applications. This new technology can be used for the production of optically transparent electrodes for display devices without indium-tin oxide films. The aluminum meshes on glass surface were obtained by anodizing of thin Al films sputtered on sodium glass in oxalic acid solution at voltage of 50 V and chemical etching of porous alumina. It has been shown that the maximum Al meshes conductivity can be prepared by anodizing of thin Al films in acid solutions at a higher temperature.
