Patent ID: 10377120

Abstract:
An apparatus for making a conductive element includes an original carbon nanotube film supply unit configured to continuously supply an original carbon nanotube film; a patterned unit configured to form a patterned carbon nanotube film; a solvent treating unit configured to soak the patterned carbon nanotube film to form a carbon nanotube film; a substrate supply unit providing a substrate; a pressing unit configured to generate a pressure on the carbon nanotube film and the substrate and fix the carbon nanotube film on the substrate; and a collecting unit capable of collecting the conductive element. The original carbon nanotube film includes a number of carbon nanotubes extending along a first direction. The patterned carbon nanotube film defines through holes arranged in at least one row in the patterned carbon nanotube film along the first direction, the through holes of each row includes at least two spaced though holes.
