Patent ID: 8647463

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a patterned transparent conductive layer on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of: (1) forming by coating a detachable transparent conductive layer on a substrate; and (2) forming a layer having a negative-patterned adhesive area on a support; then (3) bonding the substrate to the support, wherein the transparent conductive layer is in direct contact with the adhesive area portion of the layer having the negative-patterned adhesive area; (4) detaching the support from the substrate, wherein a portion of the transparent conductive layer that is in direct contact with the adhesive area portion of the layer having the negative-patterned adhesive area is removed from the substrate, thereby forming a pattern of the transparent conductive layer that remains on the substrate; and (5) applying a coating material over the entire surface of the patterned transparent conductive layer on the substrate to form a protective layer.
