[0003] The traditional metal grid flexible transparent conductive film is to manufacture micro-nano-scale metal grids on the surface of flexible transparent substrates to form metal grids (relief metal grids) floating on the surface of flexible transparent substrates. However, this relief metal There are many deficiencies in the use of grid flexible transparent conductive films: (1) The high surface roughness of the relief metal grid is easy to cause short circuits in devices such as OLEDs and organic photovoltaics, and affects the subsequent growth of other functional material layers on its surface, which limits its performance. Applications in many optoelectronic devices; (2) Due to the weak adhesion of the relief metal grid with a flexible substrate, the metal grid is easy to peel off and fall off from the substrate, resulting in device failure, which limits its use in highly flexible electronic devices (Flexible electronics and wearable devices that require frequent bending); (3) At this stage, the manufacturing cost of high-performance metal grids is generally high, the production efficiency is low, and most of them require a vacuum environment and expensive vapor deposition equipment, etc.; (4) It is difficult to take into account manufacturing efficiency, high adhesion, cost and other issues of ultra-large aspect ratio metal mesh
To a certain extent, these composite manufacturing processes have produced flexible transparent conductive films with embedded metal grids with excellent perfor
