Conductive film and preparation method thereof
A conductive film includes a transparent insulating substrate and a conductive mesh formed on the transparent insulating substrate, one of them is imprinted to form a meshed-like grooves on a surface thereof, it is simple and quick, having high efficiency; the grooves is printed and filled with metal slurry and sintered to form a conductive mesh, the cost is low; the distance between the lines of the conductive mesh is defined as d 1 , 100 μm≦d 1 <600 μm, the square resistance of the conductive mesh is defined as R, 0.1 Ω/sq≦R<200 Ω/sq. In order to reduce the distance between the line, the width of the mesh line is reduced, thereby improving the light transmission of the conductive film; the smaller the square resistance, the better the conductivity of the conductive film, the faster the transmission speed of the signal; the lower metal content ensure the small square resistance, saving raw materials.
