Transparent components |
摘要 |
A transparent component comprises a substrate (1) having an interface surface, with a pattern of electrically conductive copper (2) disposed on the interface surface with of the substrate, wherein the copper has a copper sulfide surface coating (3). It is found that copper with a suitably thin coating layer of copper sulfide has reduced visibility compared with uncoated copper, so that the metal pattern is less distracting to a viewer. The component finds application as part of a touch-sensitive display, with the substrate overlying or forming part of the display, with images on the display being visible to a user through the transparent component. |

1. A method of treating a transparent component comprising a substrate having an interface surface with a pattern of electrically conductive copper disposed on the interface surface, comprising treating the surface of the copper with a sulfide solution which reacts to produce a surface coating of copper sulfide on the copper, and stopping the reaction by contact with an oxidising agent. |
