Abstract: A reflection sheet and a method of manufacturing a reflection sheet are disclosed. The reflection sheet comprises a substrate layer and a reflective layer formed on the substrate layer, wherein the reflective layer comprises an alloy consisting of silver (Ag), palladium (Pd) and neodymium (Nd).

Abstract: Flexible LED assemblies that have coplanar integrated conductive features upon which an LED can be mounted, and methods of making such LED assemblies are described. The flexible LED assembly includes a flexible polymer substrate, a first conductive feature, a second conductive feature and an LED. The first conductive feature is positioned both within the flexible substrate and on a surface of the flexible substrate. The second conductive feature is positioned both within the flexible substrate and on a surface of the flexible substrate. The first and second conductive features are separated by a gap therebetween. The LED is mounted on both the first and second conductive features, and the first and second conductive features are substantially coplanar with one another.

Abstract: A capacitive touch screen sensor 104 is disclosed. The sensor 104 comprises an array of drive electrodes 100, an array of sense electrodes 102 separated from the array of drive electrodes by a dielectric layer 200, each sense electrode 102 being offset from each drive electrode 100 to define respective overlapping regions 112 and first non-overlapping regions 113, and a plurality of non-electrically connected electrodes 402, each non-electrically connected electrode 402 being arranged to correspond to each first non-overlapping region 113 and spaced from adjacent drive 100 or sense electrodes 102 by a perimeter gap 404. The perimeter gap 404 may have a width of about 100 um or less. A related touch panel and method of fabricating the same are also disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment a transparent conductive component is described comprising a flexible transparent substrate; a transparent conductive layer disposed on the flexible transparent substrate; and a plurality of metal traces disposed on and in electrical communication with the transparent conductive layer. A portion of the flexible transparent substrate comprising the transparent conductive layer and metal traces forms an interconnect circuit tab. At least the interconnect circuit tab comprises a cured organic polymeric material disposed on the (e.g. patterned) transparent conductive layer and metal traces metal traces and flexible transparent substrate such that the cured organic polymeric material forms an exposed surface layer. The cured organic polymeric material is optionally disposed at the bezel region and/or at a central region of the transparent conductive component (e.g. touch sensor).
