Metal mesh has significant advantages
 Patterning via roll-to-roll printing allows both operating and
capex cost to be very low – it’s going to beat both litho and laser!
● Electrodes and border connections are printed simultaneously,
which allows borders as narrow as 3 mm (typically 9 mm with ITO)
 Sheet resistivity is much lower than ITO (under 10 ohms/square)
● Reduces p-cap charge time, which allows larger touchscreens
 Transparency is better than ITO
 Mesh pattern creates electrical redundancy, which improves yields
 Highly flexible – bend radius typically 4 mm
