Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Leitfähigkeit von Elektroden für Anzeigesubstraten mit metallischen Hilfsschichten

摘要

A method for enhancing the conductivity of transparent conductive electrodes on display substrates by providing patterned auxiliary metallic layers adjacent to the transparent conductive material. The method of the present invention eliminates the need for aligning the auxiliary metal layers with preexisting transparent conductive electrodes by providing for simultaneous patterning of the auxiliary metal layers and formation of the independently addressable electrodes. The present invention also discloses a substrate element suitable for use in an electronic display device having patterned auxiliary metal layers incorporated in independently addressable transparent conductive electrodes.
