Aerosol Jet technology is being utilized to enhance performance and lower manufacturing costs of touchscreen displays. By printing interconnects as narrow as 30 microns, this technology reduces the space needed for edge circuits, increasing the usable area of the display. Additionally, it shows promise in improving the quality and reducing the cost of capacitive touchscreen displays. The process involves applying a base layer of dielectric material, followed by a printed 10-micron wide conductor to create bridge or jumper circuits on pre-patterned ITO. This approach streamlines the process and reduces the steps and costs of traditional manufacturing methods.
