METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PATTERNED TRANSPARENT CONDUCTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an invisible patterned transparent conductor and a patterned transparent conductor.SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing a patterned transparent conductor comprises the steps of: providing a silver ink core component containing silver nanoparticles dispersed in a silver carrier; providing a shell component containing a film forming polymer dispersed in a shell carrier; providing a substrate; co-electrospinning the silver ink core component and the shell component to form a core shell fiber, in which the silver nanoparticles are in the core; depositing the core shell fiber on the substrate; and selectively treating a portion of the deposited core shell fiber to provide a patterned transparent conductor. The patterned transparent conductor has a treated region and an untreated region. The treated region comprises a plurality of electrically interconnected silver miniwires and the treated region is an electrically conductive region, and the untreated region is an electrically insulative region.
