Abstract: [Problem] To improve the anisotropy of transparent electrically conductive substrates that employ metallic nanowires. [Means of overcoming the problem] Method of manufacturing a transparent electrically conductive substrate having an application process whereby a wet layer is formed by applying onto a substrate film a coating liquid comprising metallic nanowires dispersed in a solvent, and a drying process whereby the solvent contained in the abovementioned wet layer is removed by drying, characterised in that the abovementioned drying process includes a process whereby the orientation of the abovementioned metallic nanowires is altered by introducing a forced draft facing towards the substrate from a direction that is different from the longitudinal direction of the substrate film.

Abstract: Optical stacks containing one or more patterned transparent conductor layers may be damaged by electrostatic discharges that occur during the optical stack manufacturing process. Such damage may result in non-conductive conductors within the patterned transparent conductor layer. An electrostatic discharge protected optical stack may include a substrate layer, a first anti-static layer having a sheet resistance of from about 106 ohms per square (?/sq) to about 109 ?/sq, and a patterned transparent conductor layer. Methods of testing and assessing damage to patterned transparent conductors are provided.
