Abstract:
1. A method comprising: forming on at least one transparent conductive film at least one patterned region and at least one unpatterned region, the at least one patterned region comprising at least one first optical property of at least one first optical property type and the at least one unpatterned region comprising at least one second optical property of the at least one first optical property type; and disposing at least one overcoat layer on the at least one patterned region and the at least one unpatterned region to form at least one covered patterned region comprising at least one third optical property of the at least one first optical property type and at least one covered unpatterned region comprising at least one fourth optical property of the at least one first optical property type, wherein the at least one first optical property and the at least one second optical property are distinguishable by the unaided eye, and the at least one third optical property and the at least one fourth optical property are less distinguishable by the unaided eye, and further wherein the at least one first optical property comprises a first haze, the at least one second optical property comprises a second haze, and the absolute value of the difference between the first haze and the second haze is at least about 1% haze, or at least about 2% haze, or at least about 3% haze, or at least about 5% haze, or at least about 10% haze, or at least about 15% haze, and further wherein the at least one third optical property comprises a third haze and the at least one fourth optical property comprises a fourth haze, and the absolute value of the difference between the third haze and the fourth haze is less than about 3% haze, or less than about 2% haze, or less than about 1% haze, or less than about 0.5% haze.
