A new conductor material has been developed for plastic film LCD applications. This highly durable conductor has very low sheet resistance (under 10 ohms/square), high optical transmission (over 83%), low birefringence (less than 10 nm), good chemical resistance, very low oxygen & moisture permeability, and excellent thermal and environmental stability. An “all dry” digital laser ablation process was also developed for patterning the conductors.
