An optically consistent transparent conductor includes a first region and a second region. The first region includes a plurality of nanostructures. The first region has a first electrical resistivity and a first haze. The second region has a second electrical resistivity and a second haze. A difference in ratio between the first electrical resistivity and the second electrical resistivity is in a range from 5% to 9900%, and a difference in ratio between the first haze and the second haze is in a range from 2% to 500%.

Polymer binders, e.g., crosslinked polymer binders, have been found to be an effective film component in creating high quality transparent electrically conductive coatings or films comprising metal nanostructured networks. The metal nanowire films can be effectively patterned and the patterning can be performed with a high degree of optical similarity between the distinct patterned regions. Metal nanostructured networks are formed through the fusing of the metal nanowires to form conductive networks. Methods for patterning include, for example, using crosslinking radiation to pattern crosslinking of the polymer binder. The application of a fusing solution to the patterned film can result in low resistance areas and electrically resistive areas. After fusing, the network can provide desirable low sheet resistances while maintaining good optical transparency and low haze. A polymer overcoat can further stabilize conductive films and provide desirable optical effects. The patterned films can be useful in devices, such as touch sensors.

An overcoat layer free of conductive particulates is on a first portion of a second region of the conductive surface unoccupied by the patterned layer. A via is in a second portion of the second region of the conductive surface between an edge of the patterned layer of the low surface energy material and the overcoat layer. A conductive material is in the via to provide an electrical connection to the conductive surface.

After using a material having a high elastic restoring force as a substrate and determining regions where touch electrodes are formed by defining grooves thereon, touch electrodes are formed by filling the grooves with nanowires. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain elastic restoring force of the substrate and electrical connection between wires of nanowires, so that the touch electrode neither breaks nor factures despite being stretched any direction, and reliable stretchable touchscreens can be provided due to no resistance increase.
