Patent Images
1. A touch screen sensor, comprising:
- a visible light transparent substrate; and
an electrically conductive micropattern disposed on or in the visible light transparent substrate, the micropattern comprising an elongated transparent conductive bar with a long axis, the bar comprising a metallic mesh that is visible light transparent and that has at least 90% open area,wherein the micropattern exhibits a periodic sheet resistance along the long axis.

Abstract
A touch screen sensor includes a visible light transparent substrate and an electrically conductive micropattern disposed on or in the visible light transparent substrate. The micropattern includes a first region micropattern within a touch sensing area and a second region micropattern. The first region micropattern has a first sheet resistance value in a first direction, is visible light transparent, and has at least 90% open area. The second region micropattern has a second sheet resistance value in the first direction. The first sheet resistance value is different from the second sheet resistance value.
