Abstract:
1. A method of making a micro-wire rib structure, comprising: providing a substrate; locating a curable layer on or over the substrate; imprinting the curable layer and curing the curable layer to form a cured layer including a cured-layer surface and a micro-channel having a micro-channel depth, a micro-channel bottom, first and second micro-channel sides, and one or more ribs having opposing rib sides and a rib top defining a rib height less than the micro-channel depth, each rib located between the first and second micro-channel sides and extending from the micro-channel bottom toward the cured-layer surface; locating a curable conductive material in the micro-channel and curing the curable conductive material to provide a cured electrical conductor forming a micro-wire in the micro-channel, the micro-wire extending continuously from the first micro-channel side, over the micro-channel bottom, the rib side(s) and rib top(s), to the second micro-channel side forming a continuous electrical conductor from the first micro-channel side to the second micro-channel side.
