A method for producing a reflector on a reflector base made of glass is provided. According to the method, a metal-containing coating fluid is deposited on a coating surface and subjected to a burning-in treatment at a temperature below a softening temperature of the glass forming the reflector layer. Deposition of the coating fluid proceeds using a contactless method by inkjet technology. This makes it possible to deposit a reflector layer in a reproducible way and with tight tolerances having a specified layer thickness, as well as to create clean edges without a printing block or similar device. The coating fluid is moved by a print head equipped with a plurality of nozzles and is movable in a movement plane relative to the coating surface. The coating fluid is sprayed onto the coating surface by the print head under pressure and in the form of droplets emerging from the nozzles.

The invention relates to eliminating or dramatically reducing the mechanical distortion induced in photo-definable glass as a function of temperature and time processing during metallization that enable multi-layer and single layer photo-definable structures, that can contain electronic, photonic, or MEMS devices to create unique vertically integrated device or system level structures.

The disclosure relates to a touch panel. The touch panel includes a substrate having a surface, a metal nanowire film, at least one electrode, and a conductive trace. The metal nanowire film includes a metal nanowire film. The metal nanowire film includes a number of first metal nanowire bundles parallel with and spaced from each other. Each of the number of first metal nanowire bundles includes a number of first metal nanowires parallel with each other. The first distance between adjacent two of the number of first metal nanowires is less than the second distance between adjacent two of the number of first metal nanowire bundles.

A method for producing a pane having an electrically conductive coating is described. The method includes applying an electrically conductive coating onto a substrate, identifying defects of the coating, focusing the radiation of a laser having an annular beam profile on the coating, wherein the annular beam profile surrounds the defect, and producing an annular de-coated region by simultaneously removing the coating in the region of the beam profile.

Manufacturing methods for making a substantially rectangular and flat glass preform for manufacturing a Li ion conducting glass separator can involve drawing the preform to a thin sheet and may involve one or more of slumping, rolling or casting the glass within a frame that defines a space filling region and therewith the shape and size of the preform. The thickness of the rectangular flat preform so formed may be about 2 mm or less. The frame may be slotted having a back surface and widthwise wall portion that define the height and width of the space filling region. The flat backing surface and surfaces of the widthwise wall portions are defined may be coated by a material that is inert in direct contact with the heated glass material, such as gold.

A microelectrode or an array of microelectrodes for communicating with one or more adjacent electrically excitable cells. The microelectrode array comprises two or more microelectrodes. Each microelectrode comprises a body with a perimeter; an electrode wire that is electronically connected to the body and that is electronically connectible to an electronic system; and a ridge that extends away from the perimeter of the body for increasing a sealing-resistance value between the electrode and the one or more adjacent electrically excitable cells.

The disclosure relates to a metal nanowire structure. The metal nanowire structure includes a substrate and a metal nanowire film located on the substrate. The metal nanowire film includes a number of first metal nanowires parallel with and spaced from each other. A width of each of the plurality of first metal nanowires is in a range from about 0.5 nanometers to about 50 nanometers. Each of the plurality of first metal nanowires is a solid structure and consists of metal material.
