Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method to provide a conductive bus bar on a patterned transparent conductor, such as ITO traces used for touch screen manufacturing. The method can be a cheaper and a more convenient technique to pattern a conductive metal or metal alloy, such as copper, silver, or a copper/silver/titanium alloy, on ITO electrodes in a roll-to-roll process.
