Highly Conductive PEDOT/PSS Thin Films for Potential Organic Transparent Electrodes of Touchscreens

This article mainly reviews our recent studies on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene /poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) thin films which posses a high conductivity and a high transparency. The highly conductive thin films are potentially utilized to flexible touchscreens as organic transparent electrodes. The review also includes recent patents on PEDOT/PSS thin films.
