Claim:
1. A method of making a folded micro-wire substrate structure, comprising: providing a flexible substrate having a first side and a second side opposed to the first side, the flexible substrate having a first portion, a second portion adjacent to the first portion, and a third portion adjacent to the second portion so that the second portion is located between the first and third portions of the flexible substrate; forming one or more electrical conductors on or in the flexible substrate; folding the flexible substrate with a first fold between the first and second portions so that the first portion is located adjacent to the second portion in a direction perpendicular to the first, second, and third portions of the flexible substrate; folding the flexible substrate having at least a second fold between the second and third portions so that the second side is between the second portion and the third portion in the perpendicular direction; securing the folded flexible substrate to form the folded micro-wire substrate structure; and wherein the flexible substrate includes a layer on a side of a support and further including coating a curable layer on the side of the support, imprinting the curable layer to form micro-channels in the curable layer, and curing the curable layer to form a cured layer having micro-channels and a surface, the cured layer forming the layer on the side of the support and a surface of the cured layer opposite the support forming the first side.
