Design and Application of Anisotropic Nanostructured Conductive and Alignment Coatings
The paper describes the investigations of electrochemical preparation of self-organized aluminum mesh for display applications. This new technology can be used for the production of optically transparent electrodes for display devices without indium-tin oxide films. The aluminum meshes on glass surface were obtained by anodizing of thin Al films sputtered on sodium glass in oxalic acid solution at voltage of 50V and chemical etching of porous alumina. It has been shown that the maximum Al meshes conductivity can be prepared by anodizing of thin Al films in acid solutions at a higher temperature.
