Research and development of flexible transparent conductive films

Preparation methods, advantages and disadvantages of flexible transparent conductive films are reviewed. Flexible transparent conductive film is one of the transparent films deposited on flexible substrates. The primary preparation problem of this kind of films is to choose suitable substrate. The second problem is to adopt suitable preparation technique to decrease resistivity and to increase optical transmittance of the film. The required performance and prospect of flexible transparent conductive films are discussed.
