Claim Text:
1. Transparent capacitor apparatus, comprising: a first transparent substrate including a first patterned conductive layer having a first conductive material located over the first transparent substrate; a dielectric layer located over the first patterned conductive layer; a second patterned conductive layer including a second conductive material located over the dielectric layer, wherein the second pattern is different from the first pattern; a second transparent substrate located over the dielectric layer; and wherein portions of the first conductive material of the first patterned conductive layer overlap portions of the second conductive material of the second patterned conductive layer and the overlapping portions of the first and second conductive materials form matching patterned electrical conductor(s) having spatially matching conducting and non-conductive areas, the non-conductive areas of the first and second patterned conductive layers having encapsulated coalesced conductive material structures that are surrounded by the dielectric layer and have a reduced surface area compared to the first or second conductive materials.
