Transparent touch application using PEDOT

Printed electronics often involve touch applications on flexible transparent films, which creates a demand for transparent conductive materials. Integration of ICs enables the control of capacitive touch functionality, combined with serial communication protocols such as I2C or USB. This allows for much smaller and more efficient connections than traditional solutions using bulky cables. DoMicro is capable of making Flexible Hybrid Electronic touch applications with screen-printed transparent PEDOT electrodes, inkjet printed silver circuitry and Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive (ACA) bonded components. This presentation focusses on the integration processes of printed transparent conductive polymer polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT:PSS).
