Compared to traditional metal grid technology, large size touch KongDao film market rising star - silver nanoparticles technology as lower cost, higher transmittance and zero Murray corrugated advantage, is heavily in large size touch KongDao electric membrane penetrating market, will gradually threat of metal grid technology. 

September 03, news, Beijing time, touch screen network - China, Silver nanoparticles (Silver Nanoparticle) will challenge the Metal Mesh, Metal Mesh) technology in large size touch KongDao electric film market mainstream status. Compared to traditional metal grid technology, large size touch KongDao film market rising star - silver nanoparticles technology as lower cost, higher transmittance and zero Murray (Non - Moire) corrugated advantage, is heavily in large size touch KongDao electric membrane penetrating market, will gradually threat of metal grid technology. 

Cima NanoTech executive Jon Brodd, said the company development of silver nanoparticles coated technology, SANTE, and touch at present in large size KongDao electric film market has high permeability of the metal grid technology, all can with large size touch KongDao electric membrane for Surface resistivity (Surface) to hold up to 50 ohms per square (Ω/sq) requirements. 

Brodd further pointed out that is different from the traditional metal grid technology, SANTE technology in a roll to roll (R2R) process, because this is in large size touch KongDao electric film market cost more competitive; And light transmittance over 80%, a metal grid light transmittance of 75 ~ 80%, much higher. In addition, different from the metal grid and Silver nanowires (Silver Nanowire), SANTE touch the surface of the optical film can form irregular checker, and thus can overcome the problem of Murray corrugated. 

Although the new generation of metal grid technology has been able to through the roll to roll process mass production, to achieve reduce manufacturing costs, however, Cima NanoTech Taiwan branch of senior business development manager Liu Xuanyun stressed that is different from the metal grid technology must touch the optical film, printing mesh polyester (PET) film processing, SANTE technology is the company independent research and development of patent silver nanoparticles coated technology, can be in touch after the surface of the optical film coating checker automatically form the specification, so both roll to roll process yield and production speed, all the metal grid. 

On the occasion of the silver nanoparticles coated technology, Cambrios just in 2012 formally put into production of silver nanowires technology also aim at large size touch KongDao electric film market, with the silver nanoparticles coated technology in large size touch KongDao electric membrane applications don't each other. 

Brodd, however, believes that although the silver nanowires technology also lock KongDao electric large size touch film market, and the light transmittance can be as high as 95%, but the surface of the silver nanowires resistance higher than 50 Ω/sq, so the electrical conductivity is low, can't conform to the large size touch panel makers for mass production faster response speed of the specifications of the product requirements; , by contrast, silver nanowires and indium tin oxide (ITO) is suitable for high pervious to light and the reaction rate is less demanding touch screen of the mobile device application, the future will be and silver nanoparticles and metal grid technology in mobile devices, and a large size touch screen applications, according to one side and one silver nanowires technology will become a rival metal mesh to be reckoned with.
