Fluid deposition of electrically conductive strips and articles having solid electrically conductive strips obtained therefrom

摘要

An electrically conductive, minuscule size particle containing liquid solution or particle free liquid solution is applied, e.g. by ink jet printing technique to a surface, e.g. the surface of a glass sheet and drying the applied liquid in any convenient manner, e.g. during the heat treatment, or shaping, of the sheet to dry the liquid which results in the metal solute of the liquid solution to dry and adhere together to provide a solid electrically conductive strip on the glass surface. In one non-limiting embodiments of the invention, the solid conductive strips are a plurality of spaced conductive strips having a width no greater than 0.20 millimeters in the vision area of an automotive windshield.
