METHOD FOR FABRICATING TOUCH SENSOR PANELS
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a patterned thin film layer on an uneven substrate, the substrate having an outer surface and an inner surface, the method comprising:
- creating a cavity on the inner surface of the substrate, the cavity creating a cavity surface on a different plane as compared to the inner surface and a step between the cavity surface and the inner surface;
forming a thin film layer on the inner surface of the substrate covering at least a part of the cavity surface, the step and the inner surface;
performing laser ablation on the thin film layer to create patterns, at least some of which are created on the cavity surface, the step and the inner surface.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a patterned thin film layer on an uneven substrate is provided. The substrate having an outer surface and an inner surface. The method includes creating a cavity on the inner surface of the substrate, the cavity creating a cavity surface on a different plane as compared to the inner surface and a step between the cavity surface and the inner surface; forming a thin film layer on the inner surface of the substrate covering at least a part of the cavity surface, the step and the inner surface; performing laser ablation on the thin film layer to create patterns, at least some of which are created on the cavity surface, the step and the inner surface.

18. A device having thin-film traces patterned over uneven surfaces of a substrate, the device formed by a method comprising:
-
creating a cavity in a first surface of the substrate, the cavity forming a cavity surface on a different plane as compared to the first surface and a step between the cavity surface and the first surface; forming a thin film layer over at least a portion of the inner surface, the step and the cavity surface; and performing laser ablation on the thin film layer to create patterns that traverse at least a portion of the inner surface, the step and the cavity surface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
