Electrically-conductive article with improved bus region

An electrically-conductive article comprising a transparent substrate having a first supporting side and an opposing second supporting side,

• the first supporting side comprising:
• an electrically-conductive silver connector wire pattern, and optionally, transparent regions outside of the electrically-conductive silver connector wire pattern,
• wherein:
• (i) the electrically-conductive silver connector wire pattern comprises at least one silver main wire that comprises two or more silver micro-wires that are electrically connected to a silver end wire at an end of the at least one silver main wire, the silver micro-wires and the silver end wire in the at least one silver main wire forming a bundled pattern, each silver micro-wire having an average width of at least 0.5 μm and up to and including 10 μm;
• (ii) the average length of each silver micro-wire is at least 1 mm;
• (iii) the ratio of the average width of each silver micro-wire to the average distance between any two adjacent silver micro-wires in each bundled pattern is at least 0.5:1 but less than 2:1;
• and
• (iv) the electrically-conductive silver connector wire pattern has an integrated transmittance of less than 68%.
