A Reclamation System via a Pins-Module Tool for Touch Sensing Material Surfaces

Abstract:

This study demonstrates a designed pins-module tool and a precise reclamation system using a micro electroremoval process for sensing material of tin-doped indium oxide thin-films dissolved from a surface of polyethylene terephthalate of touch-panel. In the current experiment, a higher dissolution rate of the defective tin-doped indium oxide corresponds to high rotational speed of the cylinders tool with large flow rate of the electrolyte. A small diameter of the anode or a small diameter of the cathode combined with enough electric power, results in fast dissolution. The removal rate of tin-doped indium oxide thin-film is improved by decreasing the cylinders number. Importantly, the performance of a designed pins-module tool was found to be more effective in the micro electroremoval process. It requires only a short period of time to dissolve the nanostructured of tin-doped indium oxide easily and cleanly.
