MAKING MICRO-WIRES WITH DIFFERENT HEIGHTS
First Claim
1. A method of making a transparent conductor structure, comprising:
- providing a transparent conductor precursor structure including a transparent substrate, a first precursor material layer formed over the transparent substrate and a second precursor material layer formed on the first precursor material layer;
forming within a first transparent conductor area a plurality of electrically connected first micro-wires in the first and second precursor material layers;
forming within a second transparent conductor area a plurality of electrically connected second micro-wires in either the first precursor material layer or the second precursor material layer, the second micro-wires electrically connected to the first micro-wires; and
wherein the height of at least a portion of the first micro-wires is greater than the height of at least a portion of the second micro-wires, and wherein the total area occupied by the first micro-wires is less than 15% of the first transparent conductor area and the total area occupied by the second micro-wires is less than 15% of the second transparent conductor area.
