Development of Silver-Based Multilayer Coating Electrodes with Low Resistance for Use in Flat Panel Displays

Abstract
Multilayer coatings consisting of thin silver layers sandwiched between layers of transparent conducting metal oxides were investigated from the view-point of low-resistance electrodes for use in flat panel displays. Optimization of the multilayer coatings resulted in a five-layer coating composed of indium and zinc oxide composite material (IZO) and silver containing 1 wt% of palladium (Ag–Pd). The coatings had satisfactory properties of low resistance, high transmittance, high moisture and alkali resistance, and good patterning.
