Abstract
A conductor includes a plurality of metal nanostructures and an organic material, where a portion of the organic material surrounding each of the metal nanostructures is selectively removed, and the conductor has a haze of less than or equal to about 1.1, a light transmittance of greater than or equal to about 85% at about 550 nm, and a sheet resistance of less than or equal to about 100 Ω/sq. An electronic device includes the conductor, and a method of manufacturing a conductor includes preparing a conductive film including a metal nanostructure and an organic material, and selectively removing the organic material from the conductive film using a cluster ion beam sputtering.
