Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining a conductive layer with a colloidal medium layer containing conductive particles. This composite structure reduces resistance through the conductive particles while the colloidal medium provides mechanical support to prevent edge fracture, thus resolving the contradiction between resistance stability and edge strength.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by concentrating conductive particles specifically at the edges of the conductive layer where fracture is most likely to occur. This localized enhancement provides additional mechanical reinforcement at critical areas without increasing the overall thickness of the conductive layer, thereby preventing edge breakdown while maintaining low resistance.
