An elongate, three dimensional, conductive, micro lattice truss structure has parallel layers of resilient strands so that the truss structure maintains structural integrity during end-to-end compression which shortens its uncompressed length. The resiliency of the micro lattice truss structure enables the truss structure to return to substantially its uncompressed length when the compression is removed. The truss structure is adapted to provide a resilient electrical connection between two opposing conductive areas on parallel spaced-apart printed circuit boards when the distal ends of the truss structure engage and are compressed between the two areas.

This application relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing a transparent electrode. One surface of a base substrate is surface-treated with a predetermined material or predetermined light. A conductive material and a hydrophilic solution are sprayed onto the surface-processed base substrate by using a spray block including a spray nozzle and a thermographic camera. The conductive solution is sprayed onto the processed base substrate to form a surface heating body. The surface heating body is heated to be photographed by the thermographic camera. A controller analyzes a photographed image to define an area of supplementation and form a supplemented surface heating body in the area of supplementation by using the spray nozzle, and thus a transparent electrode having uniform heating characteristics is manufactured.
