Global Metal Meshes Transparent Conductors Market Definition

Metal meshes transparent conductors offer a substitute to continuous thin film materials, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), for transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) used in touch screen displays. The market is mainly driven by growing applications in antennas, EMI/RFI, thin-film PV, OLED lighting, and transparent heating elements. Technological advancements and the growing popularity of such devices for personal and commercial usage have also widened the scope for the growth of the metal mesh transparent conductor market.

In addition, metal mesh transparent conductors are also in demand due to their mechanical properties, excellent electrical conductivity, and optical transparency that are widely used in organic photovoltaic cells and other applications.

Global Metal Meshes Transparent Conductors Market Overview

Increasing usage of metal mesh TC in touch-screen devices, OLEDs, and solar cells, will drive market growth. Over the past few years, the touch screen display industry has witnessed progressive technological advancements. Displays have evolved from big, space-consuming displays to compact, bezel-less screens. They now have significantly higher resolutions, improved contrast ratios, and use significantly less electricity than traditional display devices. Nowadays, touchscreen display products such as monitors, kiosks, smartphones, and signage solutions are in high demand.

Metal mesh is a potential material for flexible transparent conducting electrodes owing to its unique physical and electrical properties. The metal mesh electrodes’ superior control of sheet resistance and transmittance is a significant benefit for microelectronic applications. Many studies have been conducted to realize high-performance metal mesh over the last decade and it has been observed that variations in grid lines, and the problem of “moiré” pattern effects are limiting its usage in most of the applications. Moreover, creating transparent conductive film circuit layouts in metal mesh often necessitates photolithographic etching, which is costly. Furthermore, the copper types lag in sheet resistance for the required transmittance compared to silver, and attempts to replace silver in metal meshes with copper have been difficult. Henceforth, certain factors are hindering market growth.
