Abstract
Disclosed are an electrode structure and a method for producing an electrode. The method includes disposing first and second wires on a substrate, and bonding the first and second wires to each other. The electrode structure includes a substrate, a first wire disposed on the substrate, and a second wire disposed on the substrate. The first wire crosses the second wire, and the first and second wires are bonded to each other.
Claims12
A method for producing an electrode, the method comprising:
- forming a plurality of silver nanowires;
- disposing the plurality of silver nanowires on a substrate;
- and
- bonding the silver nanowires of the plurality of silver nanowires to each other;
- wherein the plurality of silver nanowires comprises silver nanowires that are not electrically connected to each other and silver nanowires that are electrically connected to each other;
- wherein the plurality of silver nanowires comprises a first silver nanowire and a second silver nanowire that are bonded to each other and electrically connected to each other;
- wherein the bonding of the first and second silver nanowires to each other is performed by performing light treatment with respect to the substrate;
- wherein, by performing the light treatment, a contact point of the first and second silver nanowires is formed;
- wherein the first and second silver nanowires and the contact point are integrally formed;
- wherein the first silver nanowire, the second silver nanowire, and the contact point all comprise the same metal;
- wherein a thickness of the first silver nanowire at a region corresponding to the contact point is thicker than that of regions of the first silver nanowire other than the contact point;
- and
- wherein a thickness of the second silver nanowire at a region corresponding to the contact point is thicker than that of regions of the second silver nanowire other than the contact point.
