Post-Ablative Treatment with Toluene of Coatings Based on ITO and ITO/CNT for Issues of Liquid-Crystal Electro-Optics

In this paper the post-ablative profiles of indium-tin oxides and indium-tin oxides with carbon nanotubes based coatings before and after treatment with the toluene were compared and discussed. For ablation the CO

, processing speed 50 mm/s and power from 6W to 24W with step 3W was used. Toluene was deposited on ablated surfaces under the standard conditions. The influence of toluene on the relief properties was estimated and measured in 1 hour and 3 days after the treatment. Toluene treatment of ITO with CNTs provides the smooth relief reconstruction, thus this technological step makes it possible to extend the architecture and the functionality of liquid crystal based devices.
