Transparency including conductive mesh including a closed shape having at least one curved side
First Claim
1. A transparency comprising:
- a transparent substrate; and
a plurality of electrically conductive lines on the transparent substrate, at least one of the electrically conductive lines intersecting at least one other electrically conductive line,wherein the plurality of electrically conductive lines define an aperture having a closed shape, andwherein at least one of the electrically conductive lines has undulations having peaks and troughs in a plane defined by the transparent substrate such that a distance between two adjacent peaks is no more than 30 μ

Abstract
A transparency includes a transparent substrate and a plurality of electrically conductive lines on the transparent substrate, at least one of the electrically conductive lines intersecting at least one other electrically conductive line, and at least one of the electrically conductive lines having a width of no more than 50 μm to reduce distraction resulting from optical diffraction of light transmitted through or reflected by the transparency as compared to a transparency comprising electrically conductive lines having a width greater than 50 μm. A coated substrate includes: a substrate; a dielectric layer on the substrate; and a sensor including a conductive layer on the dielectric layer, where at least one layer selected from the dielectric layer and the conductive layer is formed by at least one method selected from lithography, inkjet printing, and aerosol jet printing.
