Abstract:
A method for making an interactive information device comprising:providing a rigid, transparent substrate; providing a first transparent, electrically conductive layer supported by a surface of said rigid substrate; providing a first flexible, transparent substrate having a second transparent electrically conductive layer on a surface thereof; forming a plurality of insulating spacer members by depositing portions of a material comprising polymeric material and at least some inorganic material at spaced locations on at least one of said first and second electrically conductive layer; and securing said first flexible substrate to said rigid substrate such that said first and second electrically conductive layers on said respective substrates are at least partially aligned with one another and spaced from one another by a gap in which said spacer members are positioned whereby said flexible substrate may be flexed by pressing to engage said conductive layers.
