BACKGROUND ART A touch screen panel (TSP) is an electronic device equipped with input means capable of controlling a computer using a hand or a touch pen. The touch screen panel includes a resistive film type for sensing a pressure and a capacitive type for detecting movement of a charge. Various techniques for manufacturing structures and manufacturing methods for reducing manufacturing costs and minimizing input errors are being developed.

Therefore, in order to replace the conventional indium tin oxide, a lot of research has been conducted on transparent electrode materials such as silver nano wire, carbon nanotube, graphene and zinc oxide, and a transparent electrode layer using other methods such as a metal mesh . Metal mesh, which is expected to replace indium tin oxide film in transparent electrode material, has a low resistance value because it uses metal such as silver (Ag) or copper (Cu), but also has a low point of low permeability.

Metal mesh can be substituted for indium tin oxide, which is a transparent electrode material, to manufacture electrode film by finely finishing the metal on a transparent material such as PET film to a thickness of several micrometers can do. Further, it can be applied to a touch screen panel for a flexible display which can not be applied due to the crack characteristic of the existing indium tin oxide.

Up to now, metal mesh technology, which is mainly applied to middle and large sized products, has been developed with the process of miniaturizing the circuit width to 5 μm or less. Therefore, possibility to apply to mobile products has increased, and explosive growth is expected in the touch screen panel market do.
