P-87: Carbon Nanotube Film on Plastic as the Touch Electrode in a Resistive Touch Screen

Carbon nanotube (CNT) films on plastic are incorporated as the touch electrode in a four-wire resistive touch panel. Touch actuation testing shows superior mechanical performance to ITO touch electrodes. Refractive index matching leads to CNT panels with lower reflection. Direct printing on polycarbonate is demonstrated. Patterning options are discussed.
