More Information
Summary:A self-assembled metal mesh transparent conductive film and the method of fabricating the same are provided in the present invention. Some key aspects of the present invention are as follows: 1) to control the opening size in self-assembled metal mesh transparent conductive film; 2) to tune the surface energy of substrate using surface treatment; 3) to improve transparency of metal mesh by low-temperature method such as chemical etching; 4) to increase the conductivity of metal mesh without high temperature annealing; and 5) to strengthen the metal mesh film by post-treatment. The transparent conductive film of the present invention can be formed on rigid or flexible substrates. The present method enables tuning the transparency and conductance of the metal mesh film through tuning the opening size of metal mesh, and is also cost-effective due to low process cost and high material utilization rate.
