COMPONENTS AND DEVICES FORMED USING NANOSCALE MATERIALS AND METHODS OF PRODUCTION

摘要

An electrode for an electro-optic device according to an embodiment of this invention has a network of carbon nanotubes. The electrode has an electrical conductivity of at least 600 S/cm and a transmittance for 550 nm light of at least 80%. An average thickness of the network of carbon nanotubes is at least 2 nm. A method of producing a device according to an embodiment of this invention includes forming a film of carbon nanotubes on a filter surface by vacuum filtration, pressing a stamp against at least a portion of the film of carbon nanotubes to cause a portion of the film of carbon nanotubes to adhere to the stamp, and pressing the stamp having the portion of carbon nanotubes adhered thereto against a substructure of the device to cause the network of carbon nanotubes to be transferred to a surface of the substructure upon removal of the stamp.
