Title: Hironori Hayakawa: Innovator in Transparent Electrode Technology
Introduction
Hironori Hayakawa is a prominent inventor based in Otsu, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of transparent electrode technology, holding a total of 8 patents. His innovative work has implications for various applications, particularly in electronics and materials science.
Latest Patents
One of Hayakawa's latest patents is titled "Substrate with Transparent Electrode and Method for Producing Same." This invention provides a substrate capable of achieving both acceleration of crystallization during heat treatment and suppression of crystallization in a normal temperature environment. The substrate features a transparent electrode thin-film made of a transparent conductive oxide, which is formed on a film substrate. An underlayer containing a metal oxide is positioned between the film substrate and the transparent electrode thin-film, ensuring effective contact between the two layers. The transparent electrode thin-film is amorphous, while the base layer is dielectric and crystalline.
Another notable patent is "Substrate with Transparent Electrode and Method for Manufacturing Same." This invention describes a substrate that includes an amorphous transparent electrode layer on a transparent film substrate. When a bias voltage of 0.1 V is applied, the layer exhibits continuous regions where the current value at the voltage-applied surface is 50 nA or more. Each continuous region has an area of 100 nm or more, with at least 50 regions present. The layer's tin oxide content ranges from 6.5% to 8% by mass, allowing for rapid crystallization of the transparent electrode layer.
