Abstract

A conductive plate includes a substrate, an adhesive, and a conductive layer attached to the substrate through the adhesive. The conductive layer includes a plurality of conductive films, each of which includes a plurality of nanounits.

Claims (10)

1. A conductive plate for a display panel, comprising:

a substrate; and

a light-transmissible conductive layer attached to said substrate through an adhesive, and including a plurality of conductive films each being produced by the steps of:

forming on a supporting substrate a cluster of nanounits which are juxtaposed and interconnected to one another in first and second directions that are transverse to each other; and

applying a pulling force to pull said nanounits out from said cluster along the first direction such that said nanounits are end-to-end connected along the first direction, so as to form a plurality of strings that are juxtaposed and interconnected to one another in the second direction, thereby forming a respective one of said conductive films,

wherein each of said conductive films is disposed on said substrate and has first and second end portions that are opposite to each other in a film-extension direction that is transverse to the first direction, such that said second end portion of one of said conductive films is overlapped with said first end portion of an adjacent one of said conductive films along the film-extension direction, so as to prevent formation of a gap between each adjacent pair of said first and second end portions due to a stress relaxation of at least one of said conductive films as a result of the pulling force applied to said nanounits during formation of said conductive films.

2. The conductive plate of claim 1 , wherein each of said conductive films exhibits electric anisotropy.

3. The conductive plate of claim 1 , wherein said nanounits are isotropic in shape.

4. The conductive plate of claim 1 , wherein said nanounits are carbon nanotube bundles.

5. The conductive plate of claim 1 , wherein each of said conductive films is patterned through laser techniques.
