Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of ITO (indium tin oxide) electrodes, wherein the ITO electrodes are made of transparent materials, and the transparent materials comprise substrates and ITO conducting layers formed on the substrates. During the electrode manufacturing, the transparent materials need to be subjected to silver slurry baking. The method also comprises the step of forming a high-temperature protection film on the surface of the substrates opposite to the ITO conducting layers before the silver slurry baking step. After the addition of the high-temperature protection film, the thickness of the prepared ITO electrodes is greater than that of products without high-temperature protection films, and in addition, the structural intensity is higher, so after the silver slurry baking, obvious stress different bending deformation cannot be generated between the etching region and the non-etching region of the ITO conducting layers. Therefore, the ITO electrodes prepared by adopting the method have the advantage that the surface deformation visuality can be effectively reduced.

See also Fig. 1, the preparation method of the ITO electrode among the embodiment one comprises step S110~S130.
Step S110 forms the ITO conductive layer on the surface of base material, and the ITO conductive layer is etched into predetermined pattern, obtains the ITO electrode.
Wherein, base material can be glass or ethylene glycol terephthalate (PET).In the present embodiment, base material is preferably PET, and wherein PET both can be individual layer, also can be double-deck.The thickness of base material is 0.020~0.250 millimeter.In the present embodiment, also substrate surface is carried out anti-dazzle and/or cure process, anti-dazzle and cure process can also can be on two surfaces on a surface of base material.
In the present embodiment, adopt the mode of evaporation to form the ITO conductive layer, evaporation form the ITO conductive layer the purity height, be easy to detect and control thickness, and need not to carry out heating, drying.In actual production, the ITO conductive layer be made electrode needs earlier the ITO conductive layer to be etched into predetermined pattern.In the present embodiment, the pattern that the mode of taking laser to do quarter obtains being scheduled to.In other embodiments, the pattern that can also obtain being scheduled to as chemical etching by other means.
Step S120 forms the high temperature protection film at base material and ITO conductive layer facing surfaces.
In the present embodiment, the material of high temperature protection film is ethylene glycol terephthalate (PET).The material that it is pointed out that the high temperature protection film also can be other materials, as polycarbonate high molecular polymer materials such as (PC).In addition, the thickness of high temperature protection film is 0.025~0.25 millimeter.Because the high temperature protection film has certain thickness and intensity, therefore, the ITO electrode of the high temperature protection film of having fitted is compared with the ITO electrode of no high temperature protection film has higher structural strength.
Step S130, at the etching area printing conductive silver slurry of ITO conductive layer, and oven dry.
After the ITO conductive layer being etched into the pattern of electrode, need be at the lead-in wire of its surface printing one deck conductive silver paste as electrode.Behind the printing conductive silver slurry, need be with the oven dry of silver slurry.Have higher structural strength owing to increased the ITO electrode of high temperature protection film, therefore, dry and can not produce the crooked deformation of stress difference between back etching region at the ITO film and the non-etching region.
