Abstract:
1. A method of making a touch-responsive capacitive device, comprising: providing a transparent substrate having a substantially planar first side and an opposing substantially parallel substantially planar second side; providing a plurality of anisotropically conductive first electrodes extending in a first length direction over the transparent substrate, and including forming the anisotropically conductive first electrodes with a plurality of electrically connected micro-wires formed in a first micro-pattern over the first side of the transparent substrate; and providing a plurality of anisotropically conductive second electrodes extending in a second length direction orthogonal to the first length direction under the transparent substrate, and including forming the anisotropically conductive second electrodes with a plurality of electrically connected micro-wires formed in a second micro-pattern under the second side of the transparent substrate; and wherein the first and second micro-patterns each have a plurality of substantially parallel straight micro-wires extending substantially in the corresponding first and second length directions and a plurality of angled micro-wires formed at a non-orthogonal angle to the straight micro-wires electrically connecting the straight micro-wires so that the anisotropically conductive first and second electrodes have a greater electrical conductivity in the corresponding first and second length directions than in another anisotropically conductive electrode direction.
