The invention is a method for depositing an inorganic layer to a laser-induced thermal transfer layer, and to a deposited transfer layer made by the method. In one embodiment, the transfer layer is disposed on a receiver element comprising a glass substrate with black matrix for a color filter comprising red, blue and green transparent pixels formed by laser-induced thermal transfer, and the inorganic layer is an indium-tin oxide transparent electrode grounding layer. The method for depositing the inorganic layer to the transfer layer comprises exposing a laser-induced thermal transfer layer to ultraviolet radiation to produce an exposed transfer layer, treating the exposed transfer layer with a cleaning fluid to produce a cleaned transfer layer, and depositing an inorganic layer in contact with the cleaned transfer layer to produce a deposited transfer layer. |
