Latest Patents
Naoko Asakuma holds a patent for a "Method for producing In2O3—SnO2 precursor sol." This invention relates to a method for forming a transparent conductive thin film of In2O3—SnO2 on surfaces of plastics substrates that have lower heat resistance compared to glass and ceramics. The process involves hydrolyzing and polymerizing a solution containing indium alkoxide and tin alkoxide, specifically using either tri-s-butoxyindium or tri-t-butoxyindium as the indium alkoxide. Water is added to the solution at a temperature not exceeding -20°C. The resulting In2O3—SnO2 precursor sol is then applied to a substrate to form a gel film, which is subsequently crystallized using ultraviolet and laser irradiation to create a conductive thin film.
