Abstract:
1. A method of making a transparent conductor structure, comprising: providing a transparent conductor precursor structure including a transparent substrate, a first precursor material layer formed over the transparent substrate and a second precursor material layer formed on the first precursor material layer; forming within a first transparent conductor area a plurality of electrically connected first micro-wires in the first and second precursor material layers; forming within a second transparent conductor area a plurality of electrically connected second micro-wires in either the first precursor material layer or the second precursor material layer, the second micro-wires electrically connected to the first micro-wires; wherein the first and second transparent conductor areas are non-overlapping areas over the transparent substrate; and wherein the height of at least a portion of the first micro-wires is greater than the height of at least a portion of the second micro-wires, and wherein the total area occupied by the first micro-wires is less than 15% of the first transparent conductor area and the total area occupied by the second micro-wires is less than 15% of the second transparent conductor area.
