New transparent electrode materials for advanced touch technologies will be presented at the Touch Taiwan Exhibition and Conference by Heraeus Conductive Polymers Division.
The Heraeus product range not only includes the established highly conductive Clevios PH1000 but also at the show the development material Clevios HY1, providing sheet resistivity up to 50 ohm/sq., will be introduced. Both printable materials are practical alternatives to existing transparent conductive oxides, especially indium tin oxide (ITO), as they are highly transparent and economical in use.
The booth will feature examples of applications including patterning for touch and lighting applications using Clevios Etch and SET materials to establish active and non-conductive areas on a PET film. Practical examples of touch technologies using Clevios materials will also be on display.
Samples of PET conductive films provided by industry partners will also be at the show booth.
With applications using touch technologies expanding at a rapid rate, conductive Clevios materials offers panel producers greater choice for the next generation of touch based devices. With Clevios, mobile phones and tablets may become lighter, more reliable and potentially even flexible. Even simple membrane switch technologies will move to touch panels in future.
“The public’s appetite for touch active devices sees no limits,” Dr Stephan Kirchmeyer, manager of the Functional Coatings Business at Heraeus, said. “Clevios PEDOT materials are key components in moving towards more economic and sustainable basis for touch technologies. Clevios meets the criteria for the electronics industry and now provides a technical choice for the touch manufacturer that was unthinkable five years ago.”
The stand will also show Clevios materials for OLED display and lighting applications. A highlight is the OLED lighting demonstrator that uses Clevios materials not only for use as an electrode but also as transport layer. This co-production with PolyIC, GmbH, uses a nano-silver bus bar substrate film from the German company.
