Germans have found a new way to colour colour thin-film panelsso that they can be integrated into buildings. The proposed technique involves cutting the semi-finished elements into the desired shapes, then applying a conductive metal oxide (OMO) electrode in the required colour. The elements are then structured into panels using the back interconnection process.
