Publication number: 20160066420Abstract: A micro-wire rib structure includes a substrate and a cured layer formed on or over the substrate, the cured layer having a cured-layer surface. A micro-channel is imprinted in the cured layer, the micro-channel having a micro-channel depth, a micro-channel bottom, first and second micro-channel sides, and one or more ribs having opposing rib sides and a rib top defining a rib height less than the micro-channel depth. Each rib is located between the first and second micro-channel sides and extends from the micro-channel bottom toward the cured-layer surface.
