Abstract
Flexible films including an electrically conductive layer being sandwiched by two electrically insulating layers in a layered structure are provided. The layered structure extends continuously from at least one first zone to at least one second zone along a lateral direction of the flexible film, and the at least one first zone is positioned around a periphery of the respective at least one second zone. In the at least one first zone the three layers are at least partially intermixed with each other to provide an electrically conductive surface in the at least one first zone on the side of the first major surface of the layered structure, and in the at least one second zone the first major surface remains electrically non-conductive.
