  • Heretofore, a commonly used transparent conductive material is a metal oxide mixed transparent conductive material, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), among which the most commonly used one is the ITO transparent conductive material that has a light transmittance as high as 90%. However, element indium is a rare and expensive metal and the manufacture of ITO film requires high degree of vacuum and a relatively high temperature. The ITO film so obtained is brittle, making it difficult to make a flexible electrode. These limit further development of the ITO transparent conductive material.
  • Recently, researches revealed that graphene is a novel carbon based material having a two-dimensional honeycomb structure formed by a single layer of densely packed carbon atoms. Graphene is the thinnest but hardest nanometer material that is currently known and is almost perfectly clear, absorbing 2.3% of light and having an electric resistivity of around 10−6Ω·cm, which is lower than that of copper or silver, making it a material of lowest electric resistivity that is currently known, and can be manufactured by various processes, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), micro-machine exfoliation, and epitaxial growth. Since graphene has an electrical conductivity that matches ITO and has a light transmittance as high as 97% and also since graphene has mechanical strength and flexibility both superior to the ITO transparent conductive material, graphene can be used completely in place of ITO in making a transparent conductive electrode or conductive layer. Further, graphene made with a CVD process is of low manufacture cost, requiring no high temperature and high pressure, and the technique for transferring graphene so manufactured to a substrate to serve as a transparent electrode or a transparent conductive layer is getting mature.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • To further expound the technical solution adopted in the present invention and the advantages thereof, a detailed description is given to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the attached drawings.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a transparent conductive layer 20, which is made of a graphene transparent conductive material and is in the form of a thin film having a thickness of 0.36 nm-10 nm, transmittance of visible light being 80-97%, and surface resistance being 30-500Ω/□. The transparent conductive layer 20 possesses excellent electric conduction performance and light transmittance performance and may completely substitute the conventional ITO-made transparent conductive layers for use in the fields of touch screens, liquid crystal displays, organic photovoltaic cells, and organic light-emitting diodes. Further, the graphene-made transparent conductive layer 20 has improved mechanical strength and flexibility and is more suitable for the field of flexible substrates.
  • The transparent conductive layer 20 is made by a chemical vapor deposition process, of which the operation is easy and the manufacture can be readily achieved with low cost. Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, a manufacturing method of the transparent conductive layer 20 comprises the following steps:
  • Step 1: placing a growth substrate in a chemical vapor deposition reactor and introducing a mixed gas of a carbon source gas and a carrier gas to carry out a reaction under the conditions of 900-1120° C. and 40 Pa-5000 KPa for 1-60 min so as to grow a graphene film on the growth substrate.
  • The growth substrate is made of nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), or ruthenium (Ru) and is preferably a metal foil made of Ni, Cu, or Ru. For growth substrates made of different materials, the carbon source gas and the carrier gas used are different. In the instant embodiment, the growth substrate is a Cu foil and the copper foil has a purity≧99%.
  • The carbon source gas is generally hydrocarbons. The type of carbon source determines the growth temperature of the chemical vapor deposition process. In the process adopted here, the carbon source gas is preferably methane, ethylene, or acethylene. In the instant embodiment, the carbon source gas is methane.
  • The carrier gas is hydrogen or a mixed gas of hydrogen and argon. In the instant embodiment, the carrier gas is hydrogen.
  • The carbon source gas is decomposed by the high temperature on the surface of the growth substrate and graphene grows. For a metallic growth substrate, such as Ni, which has high carbon solubility, the carbon atoms generated through the decomposition of the carbon source penetrate into the metallic growth substrate at the high temperature and precipitates and nucleates therein when temperature drops so as to form a graphene film. For a metallic growth substrate, such as Cu, which has low carbon solubility, the carbon atoms generated through the decomposition of the gaseous carbon source at a high temperature attach to the metal surface to nucleate and grow to form “graphene islands”. Through two-dimensional expansion and combination of the “graphene islands”, a continuous graphene film is obtained. Manufactured with the CVD process, the graphene film so formed shows high quality and can grow over a large area.
  • Step 2: coating a transfer medium layer on the graphene film to obtain a combination of transfer medium layer/graphene film/growth substrate.
  • The transfer medium layer can be poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) or poly dimethyl acrylamide (PDMA). In the instant embodiment, the transfer medium layer is poly methyl methacrylate.
  • For the graphene film that has a thickness of only several nanometers, the macro strength is low and breaking may readily result during the process of transfer. Using the transfer medium ensures an intact structure of the graphene film after the transfer without damage and causing no contamination to the graphene film.
  • Step 3: dipping the combination of transfer medium layer/graphene film/growth substrate in a growth substrate corrosive liquid to remove the growth substrate so as to obtain a combination of transfer medium layer/graphene film.
  • The growth substrate corrosive liquid will be different for different growth substrates and is often a FeCl3 solution (that corrodes a Cu based growth substrate) or an acid solution (that corrodes a Ni based growth substrate). In the instant embodiment, the growth substrate corrosive liquid is 0.1-1.5 mol/L FeCl3 solution, which erodes away the copper foil to achieve separation of the graphene film from the growth substrate.
  • Step 4: positioning the combination of transfer medium layer/graphene film on a base plate to proceed with transferring in room temperature so as to obtain a combination of transfer medium layer/graphene film/base plate.
  • The base plate can be a CF substrate body, a glass substrate, or a plastic substrate to which a conductive electrode or a conductive layer is to be installed and can be selected to suit the needs.
  • Step 5: placing and washing the combination of transfer medium layer/graphene film/base plate in a transfer medium layer removing solvent to remove the transfer medium layer so as to obtain a transparent conductive layer 20 on the base plate.
  • The transfer medium layer removing solvent is a solvent that removes the transfer medium layer but does not damage and contaminate the graphene film and can be selected according to the properties of graphene and the material of the transfer medium layer itself. Since acetone alcohol solution can effectively remove poly methyl methacrylate and does not damage and contaminate the graphene film, in the instant embodiment, the transfer medium layer removing solvent is acetone alcohol solution.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the transparent conductive layer 20 is applied to a CF substrate of a liquid crystal display panel to serve as an electrode and a CF substrate that uses a graphene transparent conductive material according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is obtained, which comprises, specifically: a CF substrate body 40 and a transparent conductive layer 20 formed on the CF substrate body 40.

The color resist layer 44 comprises a plurality of pixel units that is arranged in an array and a black matrix arranged around an outer circumference of the pixel units.
  • In the instant embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 20 is formed on the color resist layer 44 to serve as a common electrode of a liquid crystal display panel to induce, together with a pixel electrode (not shown) on a TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) substrate (not shown), an electric field for driving liquid crystal molecules to rotate. In this condition, the CF substrate is often a CF substrate for a high definition display mode but is not limited thereto, for it is possible to provide a CF substrate for other display modes that require installation of a transparent conductive electrode.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, which is a schematic view showing the structure of a CF substrate according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the instant embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 20 and the color resist layer 44 are respectively formed on opposite surfaces of the glass substrate 42. The transparent conductive layer 20 serves as a static electricity draining layer for draining static electricity from a liquid crystal display panel to extend the life span of the liquid crystal display panel. Further, using an ITO layer to serve as a static electricity draining layer requires to attach a layer of protection film on a surface of ITO to protect the ITO static electricity draining layer, while in the present invention, the static electricity draining layer is made of a graphene transparent conductive layer 20, which requires no protection layer so as to reduce the manufacture cost.

  • The growth substrate is made of nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), or ruthenium (Ru) and is preferably a metal foil made of Ni, Cu, or Ru. For growth substrates made of different materials, the carbon source gas and the carrier gas used are different. In the instant embodiment, the growth substrate is a Cu foil and the copper foil has a purity≧99%.
  • The carbon source gas is generally hydrocarbons. The type of carbon source determines the growth temperature of the chemical vapor deposition process. In the process adopted here, the carbon source gas is preferably methane, ethylene, or acethylene. In the instant embodiment, the carbon source gas is methane.
  • The carrier gas is hydrogen or a mixed gas of hydrogen and argon. In the instant embodiment, the carrier gas is hydrogen.
  • The carbon source gas is decomposed by the high temperature on the surface of the growth substrate and graphene grows.
