Abstract :
A transparent conductor has been developed based on one-dimensional metal/dielectric photonic band gap structures. Laminated metal/dielectric filters containing 100 nm of silver have been fabricated with >50% transmittance. Applications for transparent conducting films include antennas embedded in windshields, electrodes on flat panel displays, electromagnetic shielding, and solar window panes.
