Using UV photo-imaging methods, it is possible to pattern features that are near invisible and can be used as a direct replacement for patterned ITO films for Projected Capacitive Touch Screens.
Uniquely, the production process allows a device to be manufactured in a single step with electrodes, border circuitry and a flex tail in a single step.
The benefits of this developing technology are:
- reduction in manufacturing steps
- more robust materials and products
- lower resistance circuits
- integration of several production steps
- reduced power requirements
- lower cost process and materials
